JUSTICE CLARK ON SUPREME,
COURT.

The day must come when congress
will successfully challenge the right
of the United States supreme court
to set aside its enactments on the
ground that they conflict with the
Constitution. Experience has shown
that every piece of legislation mark
ing social advance presents some
feature that can be made the subject
of legalistic hair-splitting by SUI
preme court whose prejudices are dis
turbed. so that in effect we are at the
mercy. in matters of federal legisla-
ton. of five elderly men exercising
authority to nullify the popular VIII
as expressed by congress and the
president. Nothing is so we'll de-
signed to shake popular confidence IN
our political institutions as this as
sumption and exercise by the supreme
court of the power to nullify acts or
congress. We are very numerous
and greatly diversified people. spread
over a vast geographical area, and
the difficulties in the way of procur-
ing action by congress in such mat
tiers as child labor are great enough

A resolution demanding exclusion
of Asiatics from unions was present
ed by delegates of the moving pic
ture operators and precipitated warm
discussion. The document was re-
referred and the committee finally
brought in a substitute practically
reaffirming the stand of the Fedora

fliated unions the settlement of par
ticular questions affecting their

The British labor party proposed

dorsed without a dissenting vote.
The fullest possible extension of the
universal transfer of working cards
was urged in another resolution
adopted. Extension and strengthen

ity that, after congress and the pres
1dent have acted, all the agitation
and discussion and ultimate decision
may be set at naught by the votes of
five justices comprising majority
of the supreme court. And this pos
sbility of judicial veto becomes more
than a possibility when the act of
congress in question is one that seeks
to modify the conditions under which
private property shall be held and
used Action to this end by congress
must become more and more frequent
in the years ahead, and on the eff
cacy of legislation of this sort in
effecting an orderly reconstruction
depends very largely the issue as be-
tween orderly progress and some
eventual resort to civil conflict. If
congress wishes to foster the l. w.
w., the best way to do it will be for
congress to admit that it is impotent
to carry out the will of the people,
pen to run counter to the preconcep-
tons and prejudices of any five JUS
tees of the supreme court.
To admit that congress is power
less and that we must obtain an
amendment to the Constitution when
ever the federal government wishes
to take forward step or to abate an
evil is to surrender to the theory of
an impotent democracy. Those in
charge of the fight for adequate child
labor legislation should make no such
surrender. There could be no better
time for the liberal elements of the
country to unite in insisting that
congress and the president must be
left free to carry out the popular will.
Lawyers may disagree as to the au-
thority of the supreme court. Intel
ligent liberals should admit no
ground for disagreement. There Is
firm legal basis for their contention,
and this is their opportunity to insist
that it prevail. The courts themselves
have shown that they are willing to
stretch a point or resolve doubt
when they wish to construe the Con-
stitution ir such way as to protect
property. Such instances are con-
spicuous in the constituting OF the
"due process" amendment - an
amendment designed to protect the
rights of the emancipated slaves and
used rather to protect the exploiters
of industrial slaves from the demands
of humanity and justice. Shall lib
erals, then, hesitate to hold out for
a construction of the Constitution
that once and for all will remove the
veto power now held by five old men,
whose legal training is used merely
to rationalize their prejudices?
Senator Owen of Oklahoma has re-
introduced the child labor bill with
an amendment providing that it shall
"only be questioned hereafter by con-
gress itself, and by the people OF the
United States in their sovereign ca
pacity as voters" 1t de-
serves the active support of every
liberal. The supreme court might
disregard it, although Justice Clark
points out that it respected a similar
prohibition in the reconstruction acts.
Congress should in that event con-
tinue to assert the popular Will IN
every act that might be questioned.
Not even the supreme court would
long resist the determination OF the
people, thus expressed through con-
gress, to make of congress an erect
ual agency of popular government

CONSISTENCY.

Gossip recently current to the erect
that two of our war service leaders
had been guilty of food boarding was
held up by the local kept press as
something terrible in its showing or
criminal instincts.
During the visit of an agent OF the
federal district attorney In Olympia

line ON the evidence in the Kaufman
case, it leaked out that the group OF
patriots hereabouts had

To brand as disloyal certain local men

crime of these men was criticism OF

people in the saddle at the Inception

in denouncing secretly to federai

lief in democracy made them support

that In leading TO the squarinR OF the
constitution of the United states with
It's preamble OF purposes, The liquor
traffic has never been constitutional.
FOR. II initiates against the very thin gs
that the constitution was ordained to

American history when the congre ss
passed the national prohibition refer
endum which has been so promptly
ratified by Mississippi, Virginia and
Kentucky, and which, let us dsvou.ly
hope, viii receive the requisite sane
ton OF sufficient number Of the
states t. insure its adoption as a part
OF our fundamental law and tnus con-
serve the right Of the states and OF
the ! eople to be free from the curse of
drink.
The puny coutention--and 30 large
ly emauating from sources where the

the proposed amendment Is suDversive
of the principle of state sovereignty
is too farfetched 10 be discussed with
good patience e. indeed, 1t could be
shown that this proposed amendment
does infringe or the tine~honore
doctrine of states rights, then 1t were
high time that we had a first -clas-
funeral of euch 3 mistaken concept.
But the amendment would safeguard
and euttress the rights NJ the states
and prevent the undue hamperinF of
the purpose Of any state to outlaw

Independently regulate It's own purely
