ing OF the twenty-seventh annual
meeting OF the American Historical
Association and the eighth annual
meeting of the American Political
Science Association in Joint session
here. If some Of the recent court de
cisions are not disaffrmed, Governor
Baldwin said, the Judicial power OF
the United States apparently will ex-
tend to any iustifiable controversy
arising in any state although pertain
ing to mere matters OF local concern.
Governor Baldwin also found a real
danger in the recent u%tterance OF q
president that he was for a constitu-
ton when it conserved the peoples
rights, but not when 1t perpetrated
the peoples wrongs.
"The danger" he said, "is' that a
chief magistrate by some stretch OF
his executive OF. military authority
may come to play the part Of a die
tator. It is only a remote possibility
but the scieg:ce which We profess
warns us IT, t great powers are apt
sometimes to be used and that our
fathers were right when they declar-
ed that eternal vigilance was the
price of liberty"

Steps Taken To Stop Cock Fighting.
Sheriff Long has taken steps to
prevent the holding Of the cooking
main near Jonesville, OF which. he
was informed by Solicitor Otis.
While the sheriff has done what he
can to prevent the fighting, the law
seems to render him almost helpless,
for cock fighting IS not prohibited,
unless it is done within three miles
of a chartered institution of learning,
The only thing, therefore, that Sher.
if Long can do is to prevent betting
on the fights. He is powerless to
stop the fighting.
