SUPPOSED MURDER IN WEST vIRGINIA-At
Grafton, West Virginia, at noon Thursday, Mrs
f:melne Grow was found dead in her room, shot
IN the head, the bail being fmbsdded in the
brain. She was found sitting in her chair in

size, and she was still warm. No firearms were
found, and it is believed that she was muir
defed. She lived in a basement story in a very
pablic place, directly fronting a blacksmith
shop, where men were at work ali day. AS yet
the matter is involved in mystery.

1t is Theirs When They Earn it.

The National Socialists motto is
"The earth is mans and the full
ness thereof" The man who re-
coguizes a Supreme Being as the
source of life and the rightful pos
SCISSOR of all things, Immediately re-
jects the above motto as counter
felt. The genuine reads: "The
earth is the Lords and the fullness
thereof" The socialist bases his
entire system on false postulate.
He claims that which does not be-
long to him. The earth was given
to man on condition that he should
cultivate and subdue it. The Unit
ed States has become the condi-
tional custodian and almoner of q
magnificent estate, which we desig-
nate as Uncle Sans farm. Every
decent man who legally affirms that
he desires to become member of
Uncle Sans family can become the
legal possessor of 100 acres of his
farm-so soon as he gives proof of
his stability and honesty. Five
years is the period deemed necess-
ary to furnish evidences of the in
dustry, stability and honesty which
should characterize q citizen of the
great Republic. This is our COM
pact. It is just and righteous
one. lie who assumes to claim a
right to the earth on any other
terms is, at best, q usurper, if not
a thief or robber. No mans con-
science can approve of any pos
session that does not come to him
as a gift, purchase, or as the re-
ward of his labor. Thus we strike
at the tap-root of National Social
ism.-Chicago Journal of Com

In some Of the propositions contained in

Committee we concur, while we are unable
10 see how others can be maintained on con
stftutional grounds.
We are inclined to agree with the commit
tee that Congress has no power to confer
upon the Supreme Court original jurisdiction
Of proceeding designed to Gust the incum-
bent from a public Office. The Constitution
provides as follows:
I'm all cases affecting ambassadors other public min.
sters and consul. and those In which State shall he

This was held. In very early case-MAR-

Chief Justice MARSHALL, to exclude the
supreme Court from original jurisdiction IN
al other cases.
But is it not equally plain that the judi
,ial power Of the United States does extend
20 precisely such a case, and that Congress
possesses authority TO give an inferior court
original jurisdiction. and the Supreme Court
appellate jurisdiction of such case;
The Constitution provides that:
"The Judicial power shall extend TO all cases IN law
md equity arising under tins Constitution
The question whether tho incumbent Of the
office Of President has been elected in accord
snce with the provisions of the Constitution
governing such an election. would seem to

Wedo not see any constitutional obstacle in
The way Of Congress giving District or
Circuit Court original jurisdiction and the
supreme Court appellate jurisdiction OF
such a ease.
The question Of expodiency Is wholly
different matter. It would require some
argument to convince Va that it is exped-
ent to trust the courts Of the United States
with this new and tremendous power.
