SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Journey.

The Journey.
Little bit O. hot July.
Summertime gets weary!
August comes a-buzzin' by.
Dusty roads an dreary!
AS we journey day by day,
Let US all remember
That it's just a little way
Till we reach September.
Autumn with a golden CLEAN
Smiles to check all cavil;
Makes the destination seem
Worth the toll and travel.

- underlying spirit Of rcstlessness
in political and social thought
of the country. outcroppings
OF which are becoming more in evil
dence as the summer draws on? This
question is receiving serious atten-
tion in congressional, administration
and general political circles at the
National Capital.
And another question being asked
Is this: Is the public at large fully
aware of the situation or is it rather
disposed to minimize it and scoff at
it? Some of the more thoughtful
publicists whose attention is con-
cerned with conditions voice the ap-
prehension that the average citizen
is loath to believe that the danger
amounts to much. having broad con-
tidence in the common sense of the
mass of the people.

An instance In point is cited of the
asserted prevailing Indifference which
occurred last week Addressing a
gathering of labor union men, sena-
tor of the United States vigorously
criticized the Supreme Court. In the
course of the meeting the name OF
the chief justice of United States was
hissed. Radical feeling ran ram
pant in the meeting, according to t-le
press reports.

Some observers were curious 10
know what was the state of mind IN
the law making body which coulo
contemplate with indifference that
incident.
Days later. and after there had been
sharp editorial reflection upon the at
tack on the Judicial system, several re-
publican senators joined in the defense
Of the court and depreciation OF the pro-
posed changes.
