GO TO CHURCH D
Religion, Withstand Cynicisn, Has
Survived Through the Ages.
Go to Church.

A GREAT number of the people who GO TO CHURCH are
~ men and women with the S OF YEARS AND
EXPERIENCE. Many young people who seem to RE-
JOICE WHEN THEY ARE CALLED CYNICS not only fail
to GO TO CHURCH, but ~fippantly refer to the movement.
One great writer said, WHO ARE A LITTLE WISE
THE BEST FOOLS BE" Another said, "a LITTLE
LEARNING is A DANGEROUS THING" Churches have
survived through the ages. One hates to think what would
become of this world without churches and religion. The
churches TEACH RIGHTEOUSNESS. And yet there are
some young people who are disposed to take lightly this
splendid GO TO CHURCH movement.
Happily they are in the great minority, and it is GER
tain that they will soon be moved by the
west preachers report a SPLENDID ATTENDANCE OF
YOUNG PEOPLE.
The day is gone when it can be said that the church is all
right for old women and children. Go to any Of the great
cities in the country and note the real big men, the men
you'd like to know, at divine service. They are proud to be
seen in church. No, indeed, the church is not for the old
and the weak. II is for the young and strong. 1t is for ev-
erybOdy, from the highest to the lowest. President Wilson
has emphatiealy given his approval to the go to church
movement.
If you are one of the young men who has been reached
by the GO TO CHURCH appeal and now regularly attend
church, you are to be commended. But you can do more.
You can induce that friend of yours who is inclined to
cynicism to join the GO TO CHURCH throng. Argue with
him. Plead with him. Show the right way. If you do this
you'll be doubly rewarded.
Get him to co TO HURC next SUNDAY.
Get him to &C EVERY SUNDAY.

state legislatures were required to
elect United States senators, held that
fr had no power to pass upon the legal
ity of an election of a senator by the
Legislature (2S Fla. AID, their acts be-
ing political or legislative and not sub
ject to review, but final; also has held
that the legislature and not the courts
determine whether notice OF local and
special legislation has been published
(65 F1a-160), 1t being purely legisla-
tive function.
1t appears that the authority and
power to act upon a federal amend
ment has been placed solely within
the discretion of the legislative de-
partment OF each state. and 1t would
also appear that this discretion, when
| reasonably exercised is not reviewat
| by any other branch OF our COVE
ment. -
Judge wescott, speaking for the SUI
preme court GA Fla. 146), held that
THE general rule is that for the err
roneous exercise OF either judicial.
| legislative or executive discretion theirs
does not exist a remedy through the
medium OF judicial supervision and re-
view. AS a pure legislative and execu-
| tive discretions, judicial officers, can
not, as a matter OF course, control
them" The following well known au-
| thorities support that view: Cooley's
Constitutional Limitations IA; Blacks
Constitutional Law SO; 8 Am. and Eng.
Escy. OF Law 6s4; IL Corps Juris Ss3.
Our supreme court (61 Fla -, has
also held that Section 10, Of Article
XVI does not relate to any executive
| power or duty Of the governor, and
| justices of the supreme court are not
| authorized to interpret it on rtQ2est
I of the governor. It Is not essential
| that executive approval be placed upon
| resolutio nof ratification.
| There is a very noticeable absence
| OF decisions touching the powers and
authority of a state legislature to act
upon a proposed amendment to the
| federal constitution, which no doubt
sustains the view that neither the
United States nor state courts have
undertaken jurisdiction.
j, we have at least one precedent in
| this state. which arose under like con-
] ditions, recorded in Senate Journal,
1911, uage 1873, where a senate COM
| mittee report was adopted which
recommended that in view of said
| Section 10 of Article XVI they should
| decline to act upon the federal income
| tax amendment, and stated that "in

recommended that the same be acted

suggest that Immediately after the
general election in November that
you call a special session Of the legis-
lature to ratify this amendment APP
pealed to the u. S. supreme court in an
effort to prove it an infringement on
the constitution OF the u. s. in which
case II we are successful we can rati-
fy the issue in our regular session"
1t is assumed that Mr.. Caro- has ref
erence to Section 10. of Article XVI Of
the Florida constitution which reads
as follows:
mo convention nor legislature u
this state shall act upon any amend
ment OF the constitution Of the United
States proposed by congress to the
several states, unless such convention
| or legislature shall have been elected
after such amendment is submitted
| The only provision OF the federal
constitution affecting the submission
of the proposed amendments for ratt
1 fication by said legislature Is Article
V, which provides that amendments
proposed by congress shall be valid
| when ratified by the legislature of
| three-fourths of the several states"
and the only federal statute having
| reference to the subject is Section 303.
United States Compiled Statutes,
! which provides as follows:
Whenever official notice is received
at the department OF state that any
| amendment proposed to the constitu-
| ton OF the United States has been
| adopted. according to the provisions
| of the constitution, the secretary OF
state shall forthwith cause the amend
ment to be published in the newspa-
perS, authorized to promulgate the
laws, which his certificate, specifying
| the state by which the same may have
been adopted, and that the same has
| become valid. to all intents and pur-
poses, as a part OF the constitution OF
| the United States
It is observed from the above that
proposed amendments are submitted
4 by congress to the respective states
without any restriction or further dl-
rection OF federal authority respecting
| the means or manner OF their ratifica-
/ tons except as in this case that it be
| done by the legislature: and that if
| ton, the result is certified to the secre-
| tary of state of the United States, as
provided above, who publishes the rati-
| fication when the number shall have
reached three-fourths of the number
comprising the federal union
| The rule has long been established
| that federal courts will follow a states
construction of its statute and it's con-
stitution (163 u. s. 142-160 u. S. 1856;
40 L. r. A. IN. So and therefore no
federal authority judicial or other

great deal OF interest has been mani
tested in the question, since the an
nouncement a short time ago that
Governor Cats had asked the attor-
ney-generaI for an opinion as to
whether or not the legislature of 1919
could legally pass the ratification of
the prohibition amendment to the fed
eral constitution. The matter has
been thoroughly and carefully studied
by Assistant G. o. Andrews, and the
opinion, which was submitted to the
governor, is as follows

give me your legal opinion"
That portion of Mr.. Caros letter re-
