How nicely balanced this body

Crownhart has long been attorney

A National Idol With Common Clay Feet

Perhaps you think the constitution of the United
States was framed with eye single to making it
the everlasting buwark Of democracy9 That courts

You'll learn that NOWHERE in the constitution

tional conferred the supreme court of the United
States.
Always thought there must be some section con-
ferring such authority eh9 Well, there's such
section.
You will learn that the authority to declare laws
unconstitutional was USURPED on behalf of the SUI
preme court very early in the game by less person
than John Marshall.
Always thought Chief Justice John Marshall Who'll
ly above reproach, Ell? No wonder. All the school
histories rank him but little lower than the angels.
You will learn that the constitution written to
be the bulwark of PROPERTY, not of democracy,
that if the majority of the constitutional convention,
representing the wealth and aristocracy of that day,
had had free rein to carry things their way the
constitution would have been frankly, instead of
frankly rich mans constitution is due largely to
the efforts of the 16 delegates WHO NEVER
SIGNED THE CONSTITUTION.
And you will learn that congress today has
full power to compel the federal supreme court to

ercised that power, and that the supreme court

Inoxious household pest, found
most often In the summer on front

When your wife gives you a
chance, you horn in and start the

work up the climax and await
the general laugh, when Jones
says: I've heard it told little

INSURANCE AGAINST
LACK OF EMPLOYMENT.
Supplementary to the labor ex-
change, the British government
is now working on a national in
surance scheme againts unemploy-
ment.
Lloyd-George. chancellor of the
exchequer, is steering the bill
through parliament. 1t is esti-'
mated that the insurance plan
will cover 2,421,00 workers to
begin with.
The bill proposes to tax indi-
vidual workmen 1920 per annum
and employers s1.70 for each en-
ploye, to which the government
will add $1.32 for each worker.
This will put $12, 100000 with
the insurance fund, and 1t is cal
culated that the first year will
show a surplus of over million
dollars, which will more than
cover the cost of administration.
Benefits to unemployed work.
|ers will vary from $1.44 per week
for building tradesmen to $3.50 a
week to workers in the machinery
trades. A limit of three months
is fixed for the payment of bene-
fits during any one year. Numer-
Gus safeguards are thrown about
the measure to prevent abuses.

no wages less than 1915 per year
shall be considered, nor more than

If an employee is killed instantly
his dependents receive a sum
equal to four times his annual

nor more than $4,000. II there

BRITISH LABOR
EXCHANGE WORKS WELL

The first years trial of the
British national labor exchange is
pronounced a complete success.
The employers reported a total Of
100000 vacancies during the year
and In $4,000 cases the positions
were filled through the exchange.
Isaac Cowen. the we'll known
labor organizer of Cleveland, who
is now in England, writes me that
whatever prejudice existed toward
the labor exchange is fast disap-
pearing and in another year the
institution will be universally
commended.
Branches of the exchange are
open in all the cities and the man
ayers keep In close touch with
each other. Besides operating a
card system and keeping an exact
record relating to labor and Jobs,
the unions cooperate with the
managers by having their unem-
ployed books at the exchange, and
thus men can be quickly fur
nished when calls are made and
there is a saving of time and
money to all concerned.
