COURTS OF UNITED STATES
 HOLD DANGEROUS POWER

That the courts hold a more sovereign power than congress or state legislatures, and the public must focus its attention upon judicial bodies if labor problems are to be solved. was the theme of an address on "Labor and the Courts,' by Dr. J. Allen Smith, professor of political economy at the Washington state university, before mem- bers of the Central Labor Council of Seattle recently. The Post -Intelligencers report Of the lecture quoted the doctor as saying:
 "The courts of the United States have a unique power in censoring all legislation. In England they have no such censorship. The guardian of the constitution Tn Eng land is the house of commons. The JUS tice wisdom and expediency of laws IS de termined by this body. In the United States the courts have taken the right to be the custodans of the constitution.
 Members of the bench are trained ln the common law idea Too much depends upon questions of precedent. When you lodge final power in branch of the gov ernment that follows precedent, you do not solve any problems. The important thing IS not, is the law constitutional, but IS 1t necessary"
 Dr. Smith cited the Danbury hatters' case, the interpretations placed upon the Sherman anti trust act and other supreme court decisions to prove his point that the view of the employing class was reflected in the attitude of the supreme court.
 "It is highly advisable that all interests are represented in the state, so that the unconscious desires of one class will meet those of another class" he continued. We Twill never solve our labor problems until we direct our attention upon the body that exerts such great influence on our laws as the court"

 This town appears to be overrun with dogs of all kinds, varieties and breeds, but most of them are just common dogs. Low down, mangy CUTS that spend their time scratching Very few wear collar or any indication of ownership, and many of their performances are in direct violation of the laws of polite society. If man owns a dog and takes care of it, that's his affair, but if man owns half a dozen dogs and allows them to degenerate into common nuisances they should be shot and cast into the sea with heavy rock attached.

AN OLD LADY'S ADWcE.-A long
time ago an old lady told me that
there was law against employers
making their help work over or
hours a day and that they were OBJ
iged to pay them good living wage
at that.
This old lady was thoroughly edu-
Gated on most every subject and she
held a good position in a leading
newspaper Office. took it for grant
ed that she knew just what she was
talking about and it would not benefit
me to say that she told me this if she
did not know.
She told me that there was more
than one law in favor of the working
people that was not enforced, but
that news laws were made that rig
orously opposed them. God bless her
good old soul wherever she is, and I
hope she is living and doing well. This
so-called law of nature, the survival
of the fittest, is the biggest fake that
ever come into existence.
It's the mother of all fakes. No
good can come of such a false and
hellish doctrine which leaves deserv-
ing ones way behind and gives the
vicious and crafty the full oppor-
tunity to live beyond their just and
honest dues. They take the rights
that no law of man or nature has
a right to give.-Frank Smith.

schools of Chicago. On changing
from the brothers school to the pub

grade of two. One of my brothers
when changing was put in the 9Th
grade. There he first learned how
to read correctly. His advancement,
though slow at first, increased until
in the 9Th grade he won a Foster
diploma for scholarship. In public
school he advanced a grade each
year, graduating at the age of II.
In Catholic schools most grades
took him two years to pass. He start

going to high school he was very
