Jackson Day. and Jackson.

This is jackson day. "Old HICKORY
was an American of the most down.
right and resolute type. He was fond
of having his own way, and had it
good many times. He was successful
as soldier, and in his contests with
politicians won oftener than he lost.
He was a great force in his day, and
remains one with his party. He was
of, by and for the plain people-as
much so as Mr.. Lincoln himself.
1t was the victory at New Orleans
that made Gen. jackson President. But
not Immediately. He had to wait thir-
teen years for his reward. The battle
was fought in 1915, and he was not
elected President until 1928. His mill
tary laurels therefore remained green
and serviceable a long time.
Between Madison and jackson, Monroe
had two terms and John Quincy Adams
one. Monroe was Irresistible. In addi-
tion to his own strength-which was
considerable-he had the support of
Madison. But jackson tried against
Adams. and lost by the narrowest of
margins. Henry Clay turned the scale
against Jackson, and by so doing laid
the foundation of his own later-woes.
Jackson was the first man of his class
to reach the White House. While, like
Jackson. without learning. Washington.
unlike Jackson, was rich and aristo-
cratic. A favorite charge Of his op-
ponents was that, at heart, he was
monarchist. But John Adams, Jeffer-
son, Madison, Monroe and John Quincy
Adams were all men of learning, and
of scholarly tastes and connections.
By comparison with them jackson
was crude and rough. He knew
little law and little about war, but
was neither great lawyer nor a
great soldier. His strength was in
commanding common sense, prompt de-
cision and excellent judgment; and
when we consider that, after reaching
political leadership. he maintained
himself against an opposition led by
Clay and Webster, with Calhoun as a
factor later, his claim to the admiration
he enjoyed in life, and still enjoys, is
easily understood.
In an address in this town last niaht
Mr.. Bryan toasted Jackson as one of
the two greatest democrats OF history.
Jefferson. of course, was the other. And
yet Jefferson's course respecting the
Louisiana territory shows that if he
were alive today he would repudiate
the democratic attitude toward the
Philippines. while Jackson's course
toward Calhoun and notification shows
that II he had been in the White House
in the spring of 1851 he would have
moved as promptly and as energetically
as Mr.. Lincoln did in asserting the
national authority for the preservation
of the Union.

of state boundaries and autonomies.
Their dealings and bargains are ex-
clusively with the United States. and
If any component part Of the latter
transgresses in any instance affecting
the interests of a particular treaty
nation the latter has no recourse but
to hold the government at Washington
to an accountability.
The issue before the special federal
court at San Francisco related to aliens
as individuals and not as treaty-pro-
tected persons. In effect, this decision
covers the situation raised by attempt
ed determinations against aliens IN ap-
parent violation Of treaties. But the
major question Of the states right to
enact laws hostile to the letter or spirit
Of federal treaties remains for deter
mination.

And get change of scene?"
Quoth Patience, II must strive to be
A model all serene.
1.-THE statesman needs a guide to show
The way, when Duty calls.
Throughout the seasons he must go
And stand in marble halls
And he must smile though griefs abound
Nor h.nt OF discomfort.
Like Patience still he must be found
Upon a monument"

The President and the Newman Case.

It appears from an article publlsheo
in the news columns of The Star today
that the President is desirous of press
ing the Newman eligibility case for
Supreme Court decision as a federal
government procedure, on the ground
that the custer proceedings thus far
conducted are a denial of his constitu-
tional right of appointment to public
office. If the present program is car
rfed out the appeal to the highest
court will he made by the solicitor
general of the United States in the
name of the President to insure de-
terminative decision on this point.
Although an appeal in such circum-
stances would perhaps involve delays
sufficient finally to validate the chal-
lenged Commissioner through the ex-
piration of three years from the time
of his appointment and latest location
in Washington, which were. in effect.
practically coincidental. it would have
it's value in securing a conclusive optn-
ion from the court of last resort on
the power of the President to appoint
regardless of statutory qualification.
The courts thus far have held, save
in the case of the first decision, which
was overruled by the Court Of Appeals,
that the judiciary has jurisdiction over
presidential appointments on issues OF
eligibility limitations as defined by
statute In other words, up to this
point the courts have held that they,
the constitutionally designated depart
Inent of government for the interpreta-
tion of the laws, should determine
whether or not statutory eligibility Is
esta blished in the case of a presidential
appointment.
If the President, through the solicitor
general. should conduct the appeal In
the name of the United States the is
sue would doubtless turn directly upon
this question and not upon the question
of the residence of the Commissioner,
which the courts have regarded as set
tied as matter of fact by verdict of
a jury and confirmation by the appeals
court. The appeal to the Supreme Court
in such circumstances would proceed
on the assumption that the Commits
sioner was residentially qualified at
the time of his appointment, the Presi-
dents ascertainment of the fact pre-
cluding any further question.
If there is feeling at the White
House that the courts have no right to
review the Presidents acts the appeal
should by all means be taken in such
terms to lead to clear definition
by the highest court. Even though such
an appeal should, as suggested, ulti-
mately in effect validate the contested
appointment through lapse of time,
though met with a rejection by the
Supreme Court, u good end will have
been accomplished in securing de-
cision on a point which should long ago
have been settled beyond question. The
District is meanwhile chiefly concerned
in the establishment of the principle
that it's municipal executives must be
SO chosen as to insure full acquaintance
with local affairs through a sufficient
continuous residence.

The Rediscovery of America.
From the Minneapt

Owing to the commotion abroad. Flor
ida and California are filled with win
ter guests as never before, and thou
sands are planning to turn their steps
in those directions after the first of
the year. Then there are such resorts
as the gulf coast. with New Orleans
and Mobile as centers. II the travellers
knew the joys of the keen northwest
ern winter in all it's glories of land
scape and sky and generous fires and
thrilling airs. more of them would turn
in this direction and breathe the air of
the keenest and most heartening of
climates at the summit of its year. The
war is helping drive into Americans
an appreciation of their own natural
wonders.

A Wonderful Change.
From the Cleveland Leader.

The capital of Russia reports a
change far greater than the Russianiz-
ing of its name. The difference be-
tween st. Petersburg and Petrograd Is
as nothing by comparison with the
contrast between the new sobriety OF
the Russian metropolis and rs old
Four consecutive days,
including a Sunday and two Russian
holidays, the dispatches say, have left
Petrograd with the amazing record of
no arrests for intoxication.
Nothing of the kind was ever heard
of before in that city. 1t is doubtful
whether any other city Of 200O,00U
in Europe or America. ever
matched such freedom from drunken
ness.

Aliens, Constitution and Treaties.

The decision just rendered by the spe-
cial court of three federal judges sit
ting at San Francisco to consider the
new Arizona anti-alien employment act
is of far-reaching consequences, though
1t does not touch upon the most i'm
portant issue, that of the treaty obli-
cations Of the United States, which is
incidentally involved in this attempted
legislation. The court declares the
act unconstitutional. null and void on
the ground that 1t violates the guar
antees to life, liberty and property and
the possession OF property made to all
alike, whether aliens or not, under the
fourteenth amendment to the Constitu-
ton. The Arizona act prohibited the
hiring by any employer in. the state Of
more than 20 per cent of aliens. The
court held that IL this could be granted
the state could with equal justice for
bid an employer to hire more than
per cent, or any aliens whatsoever. Cit
ing q recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States that the
light to labor is a right of property,
the special court at San Francisco de-
crees that the deprival of an allen of
this right is contrary to the Constitu-
ton and enjoins the state of Arizona
from enforcing the law.
II this decision Is sustained by the
Supreme Court Of the United States it
would seem to go far to protect the
federal government from any Difficult
ties arising from alleged treaty viola
tione. This has been q matter Of Sc
-ious embarrassment at various times.

SCHOOL HEALTH
 INSPECTIONS ARE
 URGED BY BOARD

Hartford, Oct. 15-The importance of school inspection by the health author ities is emphasized in the Monthly Bulletin of the state board of health issued today.
 The bulletin points out that about Jone-ffth population. of 8, given com rnunity congregates in the schools each day, and says:
 .;The public official whose duty it is to protect the health and lengthen the lives of the people in any. town should be v1taIly interested in the schools.
 Medical inspection lis concerned with the prevention of communicated diseases and the discovery and correc- ton of physical defects which serve to retard the progress of the child. z Health instruction should be some thing more than the bare facts of an-, .atorny and physiology. It should con- vey to the chiId's mind definite ideas of ow to avoid disease and the meas ures used to protect others. The for nation of hygienic habits is the end to be sought in health instruction. Such ha bits can be more effectively formed if theo child's surroundings be first made hygienic and his physical handi- caps removed.
 The bulletin says that the school nurse has proven herself one of the most effective agencies for securing he removal of physical defects as through her visits to the homes of the pupils she will in a large proportion of eases secure the interest and inteli- rent help of the mother.
 / According to mortality reports re- eeived by the State. Board of. Health here were 1,479 deaths in Connecticut. turing the month of September. This vas 130 less than in August and 47 less han in, September of last year and 77 nore than the average number of 1eaths during September for the five Fears preceding.
 The death rate expressed as an an- lual rate per 1000 estimated popula- ion was 14.1 for the large towns,~for he small towns 13.3 and for the whole
 tate, including state Institutions, 145. The deaths from infectious diseases were 152. being 10.2 per cent. of the sotaI mortality.
