MORE DECISIONS.

The Supreme Court OF the United
States has rendered another 5 to 4 de-
cision and Il 6 to 3 dclivcrance. 1t
shows that when it comes to funda-
mcnta, principles. these distinguished
jur;sts are not all of one kind. The
August tribunal is apparently too hui
man to pass upon great questions AZ
fecting this and future generations. It
is more OF the nature Of a lcgis' at!vc
body than it is II tribunal where equal
and exact justice is mctcd. It apparent
ly looks out of the window to sec ard
hear just what the publii will think O:
a certain decision or to find out express
sions of opinion upon decisions already
rendered.
This gives the body political aspect
and tends to lower it's DEGREES in Inc
opinion of those vitality affected and
thoe, who expect to find the true ele-
ments of greatness in all of the JUL is
elevated to these high positions in The
judicial branch of the Goyernn enl.
The decision concerning the right of
a legislative body to restrict and to for
bid the issuance Of an injunction by a
court is sound to the core. We cannot
see why there should be any disagree
ment relative. to this vital question
Po permit the legislative department
of the Government, either State "
Nationa! to encroacr upon the!pOwers
Of the judicial department Of either
the State or National government
would he to disturb that delicate equil-
ibrium, which forms the foundation
principle of the Republic itself.

OPPOSE LYNCHIN(I LEGISLATION

The action OF the Democratic lead
ers in Washington IN opposing the
passage of the Dyer Anti-lynclring hi |
in Congress cannot be explained away
by alleging that it is an invasion CT
States Rights. Under Democratic Ad
ministration practically every veStige
of States Rights was eliminated, when
the Prohibition Amendment was p'ac-
ed upon the statute books and Woman
Suffrage was granted. State lines were
practically wiped out with the active
participation of the Democratic Party
II the movement. Practically every
southern States Chief Executive Is on
record as being opposed to lynching
There can be no excuse then for OBJ
posing this measure. If it is unconsti-
tutional, only the Supreme Court Of
tho United States can determine tina,
question. Let 1t have chance to 10
this and let the law be placed upon the
statute books Of tlris country. II the
lawmakers opposing this bill are sin,
cere, lot them have the Smith Ohio
Anti-lynching law passed by the re.
SpcctiVe legislatures in their States
and then there will be no need Of /.
national measure to stop this crown
