The hay season is at hand, and the
hay fever period is on its heels. Yester-
day you could point ont the victims
by scores as they passed up the busy
of the downtown section.
They were sneezing and shifting, and

for that moisture you noticed in his
eyes and also for those loud ker-choos
which rang out clearly again and again
until the stranger was lost to sight.
... Bit Too Pedantic.
But, possibly, We are a nit too pedantic.
Perhaps the reader is slightly puzzled
by our Latin. He would know the mean
ing of those tremendous words-anthox-
anthum odoralum. We have used them
to express the simple idea of spring
grass. For it is from spring grass that
hay fever primarily springs.
There is variety Of names which

remembered that there are other exba-

Health Department, medical inspector in
charge of the contagious disease service.
THAT is to get away from the hay-or

The pollen from weeds often gives rise to

The makers of the Constitution not
only knew that the will Of the people
must be supreme, but they meant to
make it so. That which they also aimed
to do was to make sure that it was the
real will of the people which ruled and
not their momentary impulse, their
weIl-considered desire and determination
and not the passion of the hour, the
child, perhaps, of excitement and mistake
infiamed by selfish appeals and terror
ized by false alarms.
The main object, therefore, was TO
make it certain that there should be
abundant time for discussion and consid-
Grafton, that the public mind should be
thoroughly and well informed, and that
the movements of the machinery of gov
ernment should not be so rapid as to cut
on due deliberation.
Established Representative System.
With this end in view they established
with the utmost care a representative
system with two chambers and an ex-

That great tribunal has become in the

of the statesman. saw the possibilities
contained in the words which called the
court into being. By his Interpretation

Massachusetts Scion Tells of Intentions of Trainers

The safeguard Of the rights and lib
critics Of mlnorities and individuals, of
the weak, and, above all. of the un-
popular, as rule, has been found only
in the court. And now 1t Is proposed
to undo all this and to make the judges
Immediately dependent on the will Of
those upor whom they must pass judg-
ment
II the trainers of the Constitution
were alive to-day they would not find
a single new condition to affect their
faith in an independent judiciary. They
would decide now as they decided then.
Are We ready to reverse their judgment
and open the door to the flood of evils
which will rusn into the State as they
always have rushed in when in times
past the courts were controlled by an
outside power?
Opposed Hasty Action.
The destruction of an independent ju-
dietary carries with 1t everything else,
but 1t only illustrates sharply the gem
eral theory pursued by the makers of
the Constitution. They established a
and they believed that q
democracy would be successful solely
forms and methods which would
not make It Impossible for the people
to carry on their own government
For this reason it was that they pro-
vided against hasty action, guarded
against passion and excitement. gave
ample room for the cooler second
thought, and arranged that the popular
will should be expressed through repre-
sentative and deliberate assemblies and
the laws administered and interpreted
through Independent courts
Those who would destroy their work
talk continually about trusting the peo-
pie and obeying the peoples will. But
this is not what they seek. The state
nent as they make it is utterly mis-
leading. That for which they really
strive is to make the courts and the
Congress suddenly and rapidly respon-
sive to the will of majority of the
voters.
