AVERSION TO WORK
WORLDS GREAT EVIL
APPEALS TO MEN As "INTERPRE-

PRESERVE CONSTITUTION OF
THE UNITED STATES.

Cincinnati, Ohio. Aug. Sire.
volt against tradition and author
ity has sprung up not only against
the political state, but In music,
art. poetry and commerce until
the age has become "preeminently
one of sham and counterfeit"
James VI. Beck. solicitor general
OF the United States, declared be.
fore the American Bar Associa.
ton today. Mr.. Beck spoke on
the spirit of lawlessness" before
the opening general session of the
annual convention i'm the place of
the late William A. Blount. the
association president.
"The statistics in our criminal
courts in recent years show an un-
precedented growth in crime" NJ
Beck said. but this revolt against
authority is not confined to the
political state. In music, its funda.
mental canons have been thrown
aside and discord has replaced
harmony. Its culminatiOn--jazl is
musical crime.
in the plastic arts, the criteria
OF beauty have been swept aside
by the futurists, cubists, yOrticists
and other aesthetic b0lsheviki. In
poetry, beauty Of rhythm and no
bility Of thought have been re-
placed BY eXalteration Of the gro
tesque and brutal.
I'm commerce, the revolt is one
against purity Of standards and
the integrity Of business morals.
Who can question that this is pre-.
eminently the age of sham and
counterfeit"
Lawlessness Always Existed
A spirit Of lawlessness has alway,
existed, Mr.. Beck said but cited tn,
prevalence Of burglaries. holdups
thefts, murder and graft to show re
cent growth Of lawlessness. Toda,
people regard the lessons Of the pas
as "presumptively false" he declared
and the burden IL now on him VIII
seeks to invoke them"
Two Of the Oldest empires in tn
world-China and Russia are in
welter of anarchy" the solicitor gener
al said, "and in even the most stnbl
governments the underground rumt
lings OF revolution may be heard. bu
OF still greater significance TO the wei
fare OF civilization is the complet
subversion during the world war o
nearly all the international laws whicl
have been built up. This fierce war o
determination has put us back--tem
porarily, let us hope--a thousan
years. Victors and vanquished are in
volved in u common ruin.
Morale Shattered
THE morale of our industrial civil
zation has been shattered. Work 70

the world today.
THE less n man does, the less h

Claims Held Prior to May
1917 Held to Be Valid
By Mexican Supreme
Court
DECISION AFFECTS
OTHER OIL CASES
ARTICLE - DEFINED IN COURTS
INTERPRETATION AS NOT BE
ING RETROACTIVE; VOTE
UNANIMOUS

Mexico city, Aug. 3l.-OIficialS of
the Mexican department Of commerce
and industry have been enjoined by
the supreme court from denouncing
rights to oil lands held by the Texas
Company prior to May /. 1917. This
decision, handed down last night by
unanimous vote by the court, probably
sets a precedent for the courts action
in dealing with nearly 15O cases call
ing into question the effect of article
q OF the Mexican constitution.
The Texas company appealed to the
court for an amparo, or preliminary
certificate issued to the holder of
land claim, pending the issuance Of
prescription papers. This action was
taken to prevent the government from
GcnOuncing claims held by the COM
pany. If the other oil companies
which have brought similar actions are
victorious it is generally believed that
the decisions will constitute the
courts definition Of article 27. and its
Interpretation Of that article as being
non-rotroactiye in its effects and that
claims TO oil lands held before May
!, 1917. cannot be- questioned.
Justice Adolfo Arias prepared the
decision. in which his colleagues con.
CURED. When court opened yesterday
and discussions We're begun. Justice
Aras was the first to speak and
he emphatically championed the Texas
C0mpany's contentious, asserting that
the announcement in question was in
direct violation Of article IL, of the
Mexican constitution.
This article states that mo law
shall be given retroactive effect 10
the prejudice Of any person whomso.
ever" lie also was emphatic in stat.
ing that the naturalization OF pctro-
leum deposits under article q Of the
constitution must not be made re-
troactive. so that II would apply TO
lands legally acquired under the min
ing law as 1t stood previous to May
!, 1917. The law declared that oil
was a part OF the soil wherever found.
Arguments by the justices during
the day We're mainly In support OF
this position.
OF Far-Reaching Importance
Newspapers here generally believe
the decision handed down last night
is Of far-reachng importance. and vir.
tually establishes ruling by Mexico
highest judicial tribunal as to the
non.retroactiyity OF article q. In
some quarters. however. there was
doubt today that the decision was
as definite In that respect ns reports
would Indicate. Several local oil men
declared they would withhold their
opinion until careful reading dis
closed the exact phraseology OF the
courts decision regarding sub.oil
rights ON lands held both In Zee and
10y lease.
There is no doubt. however, that
ths action OF the supreme court will
have a salutory effect In indicating at
least that the government, Is making d
serious effort to clear up controyer
sial questions.
