Editorial Comment
The Constitution
(Wa shingtOn POSt)

All that the layman need ask,
whether he be a labor leader or
plain taxpayer, is this question::
What is the absolutely proved will
of the American people-their fixed
command? The answer must be,
the Constitution. If this answer be
not given, then there is no necessity
for discussing Congress or the Su-
preme Court, for they derive their
existence from the Constitution. The
mechanism for making laws, ac-
cording to the peoples written will,
is Congress. The mechanism for
ascertaining and applying the laws
to states. individuals and property is
the judiciary.
But Congress can make laws only
in pursuance of the Constitution. II
it could do otherwise, Congress
would lie greater than the Consti-
dained by the people would cease
to exist. The courts can admins
ter the laws only in pursuance Of
tho Constitution. If they could do
otherwise, they would lie greater
than the Constitution, and the peo-
pie would be under the judicial ty-
ranny which Senator La Toilette
says is now in existence.
Who is to decide when Congres SIS
is acting in pursuance of the Con-
stitution in making what it calls a
law? The Supreme Court must do
so-it can not escape the duty. A
case comes before it in which a man
alleges that his life is jeopardized
by a writing which Congress has
passed, and which appears to be a
law. The man alleges that it is not
a law. because it is contrary to the
Constitution. His life hangs upon
the courts decision. The court takes
the Constitution and the alleged law
and compares them. They are ir-
reconcilable. The man must either
live, under the protection of the
Constitution or die under the pen
atty of the allie ged law. Which shall
prevail-the Constitution or the all
legged law?
1t does not matter if millions have
clamored for the alleged law, and
that a cowardly Congress has en-
acted it unanimously. If it attempts
to go beyond the limits of the Con-
stitution it is not a law, and the
Supreme Court must so hold or be-
come party to an infamous betray-
al Of the people of the United States.
When q citizen dcnounccs the
courts for setting aside law as un-
constitutional. he strikes in the face
the spirit of Justice that protects his
family, his property his liberty and
his life.

COUNTY HOME
HAS UNUSUAL
INSANE CASE


Supt M. v Burris of the Grant
County Psychiatric Hospital has in
herited an unusual insane case,
which, however, he will endeavor 10
have transferred to the proper
charge.
The case is a woman Of about 26
years, of good appearance but insane
and totally blind. She was committed
in Jefferson county and later sent to
Wauwatosa for special treatment.
While at WauWatosa the woman be-
came violent and was manacled. Dus-
ing this, cine she read the Bible con-
tinuously. She reached a passage:
IF thy eye offend thee pack it forth. +"
In some manner the woman managed
to get her hands to her eyeballs and
dug the eyeballs completely out of the
sockets
This woman requires special care
continually. Mr.. Burris received her
from Mendoza probably on account OF
the reputation the hospital here has
for handling difficult cases. The SUI
perintendent will make an effort to
have the woman sent back to Jeffer-
son county.

night and secured a quantity OF silk
goods, light coats and other light
weight but expensive bits of finery.
An investigation indicated that the

people and then bored hole
through a panel on the cellar door,
allowing him to slip his hand through

and looked around for cash finding
nothing. Then he quietly slipped out,

NATIVE OF LANCASTER
TAKEN TO COUNTY HOME

Frank Bartlett, aged about Is, a
native of Lancaster, was committed
to the county home here by Judge
GoOdsell last Thursday The old man
came here from Madison, where a
ticket was bought for him for Lancas-
ter. Jefferson people had sent him
to Madison. Though we'll dressed he
said he was unable to make a living
and asked care in his last days.
Old settlers here say that this
mans career has been forlOrn and
pathetic. Most of his life was spent
behind prison bars in Wisconsin, Hi
nOis, Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan
penitentiaries. His first offense was
taking a horse here about fifty years
ago. Bartlett then asked the court
for leniency and made such an i'm
pressive talk in his own behalf that
Judge Cothren gave him the lightest
sentence possible. Since then he
drifted, coming back to Lancaster at
intervals. His father, shoemaker,
died many years ago. Now the son
comes back to spend his declining
days at the county farm.
