Washington, June 2.--IProvisions of
the war revenue act requiring the
President and all Federal judges to

tsrday by the Supreme curt, in a
seyen-to-two decision.
Under the act the President pani
N his salary Of $4,000 a year APP
.prcximately $4,000 in taxes. Reve-
MUGS already collected under the IN
valid provisions will, under the courts
decision. be refunded by the Treasury.
The Supreme Courts decision was
on appeals by Federal District Judge
Walter Evans. of Louisville, KY, fran
1awer court DEGREES dismissing suit
brought by him to recover taxes IN
voluntarily. He contcnded that the
Federal Constitution prohibited judges
SALARIES being diminished during con-
s:nuance in office"
Justice Van De Vanter who rem
do-d the majority opinion, held thSs
the section of the revenue lct,violated
constitutional provisions prohibiting
The diminution of such salaries. Such
tax, he argued, could be gradually
increased until the entire salary was
taken. The majority opinion held, how
ever. that Federal judge was not OK

or. on his property:
Justice Holmes rendered a dissent

conquered. lie declared that no reason
existed why Federal JUICES should

The majority opnicn required about
an hour for delivery and was ore OF
the longest rendered by the court in
recent years.

who among US would say today,

have tor"
Yet Fifty years ago, odd as it may
seem, not one person in 1000 used a
Dentifrice-or even a tooth brush.
SO today. after more than 30 years
of persistent publicity of Aliens Foot
Ease, the Antiseptic Powder for the
Feet, not many well-turned-out people
care to confess. "You know I never
have to use a Powder for the Feet!'
More than One Million Ave hundred
thousand pounds of Powder for the
Feet were used by our Army and Navy
during the war.
The reason is this: Incasing and
confining the feet in Leather or Can
vas Shoes is bound to Great friction,
more or less. Aliens Foot-Ease re-
moves the friction from the shoes,
and freshens the feet. 1t is this fric-
tion which causes smarting, callouses,
corns and bunions. You know what
friction does to your motor-car axle.

EXPECT DEMOCRATS
TOTAL IRELAND
British Writers Say Plank VIII
Sidestep Issue, Copying
G. o. p. Platform.
By ROBERT J. PREV.

LONDON. June 30.-The Democrats
are going to dodge the Irish Issue In
the same manner as did the Republi-
cans. That Is the substance OF all
dispatches TO the leading London
dailies from their correspondents In
San Francisco. Washington and New
Y9fk: v,,.,,u Past. oorr.,0oDs.D,
promises his paper that the irish
plank in the Democratic platform VIII
only be sufficiently vivid TO hipnottize
the delegates. He adds that the Dem
ocrats will not endanger the rela,
tions between the United States and
England. and thus give the Republi-
cans the chance TO say that the con-
tinuation OF the Democratic admins
tration would be tantamount to In
viting war with England.
The correspondent represents the
leaders as well as the rank and nle
OF the Democratic party as extreme
ly bitter against England. because,
he says, they believe the British want
to see Senator Harding elected. IL
sh ould be said in this connection that
nothing has openly developed on this
side to confirm that view.
The correspondent, continuing,
quotes a possible dark horse" as
saying:
'You English seem to think that
the Democratic party Is down and
out and that all you need to con-
slider are the Republicans"
The correspondent OF Northcliffe's :
Times cables he wishes Sir Edward
Carson and others of his convictions
were in San Francisco so they might
discover for themselves that the ma
jority OF the delegates and leaders are
Heartily sick OF the Irish question
and anything but sympathetic to the
Sim Fein, whose methods they con-
slider approximately to those OF the
"'red' extremists"
Carson, the correspondent AYERS
would find the politicians-even those
OF Irish extraction-condem the
necessity of playing at an American
political meeting with "other peoples
gunpowder," and praying that We
may settle the Irish question primar-
lily and in the future be relieved of
that necessity and all 1t implies
At this early stage the dispatches
from all the correspondents indicate
McAdoo as the outstanding candidate
with Cox a good second.
Ambassador Davis IL viewing with
manifest serenity the San Francisco
proceedings from his ambassador al
home. He declines to make any state
,ments to further his chances for the
nomination., but he has made II plain
that he is ready to respond to the call
should II come.
