WORSE THAN FOLLY

The most astounding proposition that we have recently noted. at least from a Democrat-comes from Representative DeArmond of Missouri. He is credited, or charged. with being i1 favor of giv- ing the President of the United slates power to retire Federal judges fem the bench at will not only Circuit and District Judges but the justices of the Supreme Court at well. We have not seen the details of his project, but we do not see how there can be any which will remove such a proposition from the realm of assininlty.
 The Supreme Court of the United States is intended to be one of The CO., ordinate branches of our governmental system, and one over which the i1-csl- dent and Congress have no control It Is true that the Justices are appolnted by the President. by and with tne ad- vice and consent of the Senate" and 1t is also true that unfit persons may at some time get on the bench. but this is unavoidable. However careful and conscientious President may Sa. it would be strange if he did not make mis- takes at times. This. however is the first time within our knowledge that a Democrat has proposed to subordinate the Supreme Court to the wishes or whlms of q President.

PRAYING AND DOING.

words, words, words" replied the somewhat disgusted Hamlet when ask ed what he was reading. and we are reminded of 1t when we consider the action of the Indiana Legislature on a recent occasion. An effort was made to secure an appropriation for the flood sufferers of which they were in urgent need. Instead of voting money to help them, the House passed resolutions O: xxmpathy and breathing a fervent sraajs CT that 'the well-being of the peo- pie so visited by such floods will re- ceive special dispensation from the Dl- vine Power. and for their immediate re- lisg.s This leads The Indianapolis Star to say, with weil-directed sarcasm:
 If The Star may be permitted to in trude on the House of Represe l-atives in the most solemn hour it has ever experienced since the Governors mes sage was read, it would beg to suggest that the flood sufferers are not SC much in need of a dispensation as If an ap- propriation. In fact. after an eppropria- tion IS made a Augmentation csn be opened and dispensatfols can be made in due order. And that style If disptr- aafiOD is the only etc tive one to re- 1ieve cold, and hunger. and sickness. In this day the Almighty does not per- form old-time miracles. He acts through human agencies. Just now, one of the most available agencies in sight Is the Indiana Legislature. Very probably while the representatives are praying for the flood sufferers. the flood suffer- CTS are praying the Almighty to soften the hearts of the representatives and open the doors of rhe State Treasury for say $10.000 as starter.
 The Stars comments are well put No good person will deny or Delittle the need and efficacy Of prayer. or snec- at good wishes. but there are times and occasions when acts are 1f more inn portance than kindly words The AL mighty requires human beings to as- sist each tother in their time or need by human maans. We cannot expect Him to send food. clotn4s and money to the stricken sufferers by direct means. but He has allowed <orle to prosper and expects them to aid their fellows in distress. All the prayers and ex- pressions of sympathy that can be sent forth by the Indiana Legislature will not feed the hungry or. clothe the naked.

those who believe with Mir. Cooley that "a Constitution is not to be made to
 mean one thing at one time and an- other at subsequent times when the circumstances may have so changed as perhaps to make q different rule in the case seem desirable" should speak out. It Is not sectional question. Judge Dickinson says:
 T rejoice that the question of States rights IS no longer sectional. It is a noteworthy fact that when the income tax was held to be unconstitutional on the ground that 1t invaded the rights tices who upheld tho power of the Ma tional Government were ex-Confederate soldiers. Those rights remaining with the several states after the adoption of th& post-beiium amendments should be, and doubtless are, as dears to all as they are to any single State. Questions will arise out of conditions, such. for instance, as those involved in the of Japahese in San Francis co, which affect peculiarly a State, but the constitutional principle involved half of other States. upon conditions

TIME NEARLY UP.

We again recur to the duty incum- bent upon those who are liable to pay ment of poll tax. Only few more days remain. as the opportunity closes with Friday, February I. We com mend most heartily the following from The Sheffield Standard:
 Every citizen owes something 10 the community in which he lives. It Is his duty to aid in every movement TOT the betterment of social conditions. and to lend his best efforts to the mainte- nance of order and the enforcement Of the law. No man can fulfill his oblisa- tions to society who fails to qualify himself for the exercise of the right oi Suffrage. The ballot box is the safe guard of popular liberty. The citizen who fails to fit himself for the excrcise of this great privilege is recreant to the highest civic duty md to one os kts most pressing obligations to society. He places himself on a level with the ls- norant element and debars himself from a privilege which has ever been regarded as the freeman's dearest pre- rogative.
 Those who do not pay poll tax on or before February will be. deprived Of the great privilege of voting in any pri- mary or other election this year.

frequently If he gets an opportu- nity we may expect him to nominate a man of his own choosing and the sen- ate will probably confirm the selection.
 Not much harm can come to Ire bench during the term of any one Pres ident, however much he may desire to pack the court, but f the. peArifcad proposition could prevail, the courts would be farce. We Go not know how he proposes to get arouni the ,n- stitution, which says ti,at these judges shall hold office during good behav'cr, but suppose he has thought of some way. The judges appointed in that way, knowing that the President could remove them at pleasure. would be lit- tie better than tools of the executive, there would be no more independent justice in the land This Missouri in novator had as well subside. so far as this proposition is concerned.

IS LIBERTY IN DANGER.
Tend Toward Socfalf~ni.

Legislation For The Masses Alleged To
 Tend Toward Socialism,
 New Orleans Picayune.
 It might be said that the cause of popular government has scored a great triumph in the manifest will if the people has actually frightened the lead CTS of the Republican party into the acceptance of policies in the interest of the massN~. as against the menace of plutocracy: but it remains to be asked whether those policies will be found, after all. consistent with the claims of personal right and liberty. MT. Roose- welt has gone far. br- he asks his par ty to go great deal farther. He would have Congress enact la which 1t has. no authority to enact. if the Con- thors intended it to be construed. He that the power of the federal govern ment must be increased by legislation, by executive action, and by judicial construction of the provisions of the federal Constitution. Immeasureable danger lies In that direction-danger alike to the reserved rights of the sew eral States and of the individual citi- zen.
 If MT. Roosevelt's demands are to be granted, in little while it will be un- derstood that the States have no rights which the federal government is bound to respect, and the common men will have lost all bower of individual initia- tive in the world of business. Mir. Roosevelt declares his opposition to so- cialism, but the policies u-on which he insists would, if adopted, lead directly to the establishment of the social state.

A Timely Defense.

Nashville American.
 Judge J: M. Dickinsons address he- fore the New York Bar Association on standardization by construction and in- depreciation of the Constitution, pulp lished in yesterdays Am arcan, is wor- thy of a careful reading. Judge Dick inson and President Roosevelt are per- sonal friends. but the former clearly shows that he very radically differs with the views of the President, as ex- pressed by him relative to the powers of the States and the need of greater Federal power. Taking certain utter ances of the President and of Secretary Root as text Judge Dickinson pro- duces an argument reinforced by cita- tions of authorities and an array of facts and logic that is refreshing in a time when there seems to he a tendency such neroachment on the rights of the States as would leave them powerless. In concluding his admirable address, Judge Dickinson said
 There should be a general revival all over this land or a knowledge of the constitution and the theory of our Government. There is too much of iconoclasm in .Hligion and law. too much of the spirit of eXpediency and opportunism. too little of reverence for institutions both human and Divine!
 "We have had one fearful lesson of how through differences in respect or political cataclysm. and we should profit by the example.
 "Fhat q movement has been started that may gain such headway as will profoundly stir tho depths of our na- tional life. no thoughtful observer of public events can doubt. It will be a curse to the country if 1t shall become party issue. While no true and en- frightened patriot will upon such a fund amental question. through party fears, espouse 2 doctrine obnoxious to his convictions, or faik.to oppose one that his conscience condemns. there will be many who will accept party action as a, final adiudication.
 "For truly patriotic championship of the integrity of the Constitution, we must look to an enlightened press, to those public men who can put country above party, to the American lawyers who by training and tradition are de- lenders of lihsrty and justice under tho established law"

Had the South been successful

Had the South been successful- which was impossible-Lee would have ranked with Hannibal and Napoleon" remarks The Columbia State. Why does it assert that success was inn possible? Merely because the South failed? That isn't good argument, we imagine. As to the other point. we assert that Lee outranked either of the two mentioned in all that goes to make q great soldier. One who will study the characters and careers of the three will, we think. agree with us that 1t is not compliment to Lee to say that he. If successful, would have, ranked with Hannibal and Napoleon.

Mobile Register.
 Manufacturers of proprietary medi. cines who have compiled with the Fed eral statute known as the pure food and drugs act, are much disturbed by the report that the Alabama Legisla- ture purposes to require additional la- bels on patent medicines before they can be sold in this State. Or. Earl SA Sloan of Boston writes to The Register saying:
 eve have been notified that bill has been introduced in the Legislature of Alabama to compel manufacturers of proprietary medicines to attack thelr detailed formula to every bottle.
 Proprietary manufacturers have all had their remedies relabeled to comply with the pure food and drugs act, have filed a/guaranty bond in Washington and, to protect the dealer and con sumner, now attach a serial number to every article sent out from their fac- tory
 "All these changes have cost the man ufacturers great deal of money, and f. hardly ssAr~s fair to at+a~k them again so soon when the consumer and dealer are satisfied that they are well protected by law"
 This seems to us a very conserva- tive statement. and deserving atten. ton. There is such a thing as killing a business by statute. and we would regret to find our Legislature doing anything of that sort.
