II anyone seriously doubted that the
Nineteenth Amendment was consti-
t%utional, the decision of the Supreme
Court IN the Maryland cases ought to
reaSSure him-or her. The court is
unanimously of the opinion that the
amendment meets every requirement
OF the fundamental law. The court
handed down another important de-
GlSlon, also unanimously: that on the
Wisconsin rate cases, in which it up
holds the power of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to fix railway
rates within a state. even against the
opposition of a state railway COM
mission, whenever the national COM
mission finds that state-made rates
cause unjust discrimination against
interstate commerce. The decision will
prevent certain states from enforcing
the "two-ccrts- annie laws" that their

It's Spring Again

Old worlds awfuliy troubled;
Men Know not where to turn
From .aes and strife and discord;
Hate and anger burn,
Everybody worrying,
Everybody fears;
Seems like things are lettering
Rank disaster rcars,
YET, midst al. the turmoil
Rains the grasses bring,
Leaves and buds are bursting.
Carcfrec brides sing;
As from the beginning.
Comes another spring.
