amendment had provisions in their
state constitutions which prohibited
the legislatures from ratifying, could
not be entertained, the court stated,
because the state legislatures derived
their power in such matters from the
federal constitution which "transcends
any limitations sought to be imposed
by the people of a state
The remaining objection that the
ratifying resolutions of Tennessee and
West Virginia were imperative, be-
cause adopted in violation of legisla-
tive procedure in those states, may
have been rendered ''immaterial," the
court declared. by the subsequent
ratification of the amendment by Con-
necticut and Vermont. The conten-

broader ground.

AN EYE ON NEXT CONGRESS
Official Washington Is Specializing on
How Many Elk. Service Men Will
Be Returned.

Official Washington Is wondering
how many ex-service men are. to be
returned to congress at the election
next fall. Speculation is rife, with the
bonus controversy at full tilt.
Veterans of the World war already
have formidable strength in the house,
81 seats being occupied by former
service men, according &c a canvass by
the American Legion. The senate has
two NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Newberry Of
Michigan, and Senator Elkins of West
Virginia. Twenty-one states are rep
resented by ex-service men In con-
gress, New York leading with four,
Massachusetts and Tennessee being
second with three each.
Far-sighted persons have hazarded
the opinion that when the votes are
counted in November, it will be found
that the number of ex-soldiers in the
house has been materially increased.

them 1926 personal letters while they
were away from home, an average of
one letter a month for each fighter or
nurse In addition he mailed a copy
Of the hometown paper to each of

not the "Dear-Jim-I-r emain-yours-

of "home gossip" and local color for
which the doughboys were willing to
give their last cigarette.

Department of Agriculture in connec-

newspapers to give full reports of the
proceedings of senate and house, and
the operations, Investigations, inquiries
and conclusions Of their various COM
mitteeS.
In the Sixty-sixth congress no less
than 1929 public bills and 481 joint
resolutions were introduced in the
legislative grist mill of the house Of
representatives, and more than 5000
in the senate, of which 401 of the for
mer and SO of the latter class be-
came laws, ia addition to the 124 pr!-
vate bills and resolutions which were
enacted Not even congress itself is
able to visualize at a single sweep Of
the eye labor so vast in scope.
A follow-up system of federal pub
icity, probably through the executive
departments, to keep the country in
formed, might be desirable. No single
newspaper can report adequately every
new act of congress and every inter-
mediate step taken in the process Of
converting the twenty-odd thousand
bills into the give hundred-odd laws
But it may be taken for granted with
safety that there is adequate presenta-
ton by certain Of the newspapers Of
every act and process of legislation Of
special interest to their particular
constituencies.

Long in time and short in impor-
lance" is the way Mr.. Hughes de-
scribes his military career. AS a mat
ter of fact he was fairly important
soldier. He started as private in
the Seventh regiment in 1897 Ten
years later he was offered a lieuten-
ant colOnelcy, which he did not ac-
cept. He served on the Mexican bor-
der as captain, and only deafness
kept him from service abroad during
the World war. During the raising
Of troops in New York he served as
adjutant general, where his deafness
was an asset rather than a liability
with the pacifists footing their tin
whistles, and then he became a cap
tain in the Intelligence service, being
just as intelligent when deaf as when
sharp of hearing

most important organizations in the

heard in Congress from time to- time
of the failure of the American press
adequately to report its proceedings
to justify them as a matter of alb
