SE!y21E CRITIC
La Toilette Tells Senate Of
Censure Given by. Justices;

Members of the supreme court
themselves have administered much
severer criticism of their associates
and their court than anything I have
ever uttered against them,'' declared
Mr.. La Toilette in the United States
senate last week in a speech along
the same lines he delivered at the
a. F. of L. convention in Cincinnati.
In giving notice that he would
submit an amendment to the con-
stitution that will check court
usurpation, the Wisconsin lawmak-
er said:
when I present it, or shortly
thereafter, I am going to make to
the senate an argument in support
Of the proposed amendment. I am
going to review in that argument
all of the decisions Of the supreme
court from the beginning of the
government down to the present time
in which the court has declared un-
constitutional the acts of the legis-
lative branch of the government.
Il am going to submit an analy-
sis Of these decisions. I propose to
show that the supreme court has
departed from the position allotted
to them by the founders of this
government to interpret the law and
administer justice and that it's mem
bers have become, in large measure,
a legislative body. injecting their
views into the acts of congress and
modifying those acts by construc-
tons, in plain violation of the pur-
pose and intent of congress.
Indeed, so far have they gone
in this respect that members of that
court-such men as Justice Harlan,
Justice Day and Justice Holmes, men
whose views should command the
respectful attention Of this body
have said that the majority of the
court were violating the constitu-
ton of the United States; that they
were assuming to legislate, when the
founders of this government said
that congress alone should legislate
and that the supreme court should
adjudicate the law as written.
mo one, sir, I take it, will assert
that there is anything in the con-
stitution which gives the federal
courts the right to declare a lew un-
constitutional. I pause to let thai
soak in.
Il repeat it. No one, sir, I take sit,
will assert that there is anything in
the constitution which gives the fed
eral courts the right to declare a
law unconstitutional.
The fact is that the federal courts
by their decisions, have worked a
complete revolutionary change in
our form of government, and it Is
none the less complete because the
change has been made gradually.

luton has created are no longer

simply to proceed in accordance
with the law and in accordance with
the constitution to restore to the

''The engineers" continued Mr..

GERMANS WORK
E|CHT-H0UR DAY
Almost Universal in German
Iron and Steel Trade.

Investigators employed by The
Iron Age. a journal devoted to the
iron industry, reports that the eight
hour day is almost universal in the
German iron and steel trades.
The eight-hour day was pro-
claimed by provisional revolutionary
decree, it is stated, on Nov. %, 1918,
and although the decree expired on
March 81, 1922, it has been pro-
longed until October, pending the
passage Of a definite eight-hour bill
which is now before the reichstag.
In coal mining there is legal
maximum seven-hour day. The gov
ernment lately submitted, under la
Dor pressure, a seven hour day bill
for all underground mining, iron,
ETC., but this has not been passed,
and the most general rule in the
iron and steel trades, ship building
and allied branches ic 46-hour

St. Paul Citizens Alliance Sec.
retary Reveals Method.

Just about the time that labor Is
letting up on the boycott the anti
union organizations of business men
and employers are taking 1t up and
are using it with a vengeance.
Evidence Of the use of the boycott
against business men and others who
do not tote with the Duluth Citi-
zens' Alliance is now and then pre-
sented to the Federated Trades as
sembly. Only this week q small con-
tractor and builder who employs
union men related how he was denied
certain work unless he ran am "open
shop" which he refused to do.
In st. Paul the union men have
the goods on the Citizens Alliance.
It is in the form of letter sent by
E H. Davidson. IT'S secretary, to the
notorious and falsifying Buffalo Com
mercial. The letter discloses the rea-
son why the st. Paul Daily News
was forced to throw down union la
Dor and how the St. Paul Athletic
club was threatened with boycott
unless it gave the printing of its
official publication. 1.-The Ace," to
a non-union firm.

The Home Garden

LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 27.-The
rapid increase of the San Jose scale in
Indiana orchards the past year and the
conditions which indicate a continued
increase in the numbers and destruc-
tiveness of the scale the coming sea-
son, make it imperative that orchard
lists adopt immediate and stringent
measures to control the pest, accord
ing to Prof j. j. Davis, head of the
department of entomology of Purdue
university.
THE scale increased in incredible
numbers in many Indiana orchards last
year and went safely into the winter
alternating condition" said Prof Da-
Wis, who has just returned from a trip
to southern Indiana. THE winter NOR
tality is only slightly more than so
per cent, much less than in normal
years, which means that even in orch.
ards now slightly infested the trees
may become incrusted by late summer

and in the heavier infested orchards,

The treatment recommended by Pur-
due for the San Jose scale is liquid

oil, sold under such trade names as

Brand" Target Brand" ETC., diluted

they must be applied before the buds
open, but the lime-sulphur applications
can be made even up until the leaves

blessed, ad all of us woul do well to appreciate
the blessings which have been showered upon us.
Some of the disgruntled citizens, who have
lost faith in the efficacy of our institutions, or
have come to doubt the permanence of our gov
eminent, might take trip to Europe to learn
how to appreciate our country.
The trouble with most of us is that we nat
urally like to find fault instead of trying to find
things to be happy about and for which we
should be devoutly thankful. Senator Owen,
gifted orator, summed up his feeling in the
laconic utterance, "God bless the United States"
If we looked about us to find the hundreds OF
things in which we as country excel, we would
find so many of them that we would cease to be
pessimistic critics This also holds true OF our
state and city.
A Richmond attorney few days ago ex-
pressed happy thought when he said that God
must have made Indiana on day In June.
Translated into prose, he meant to say that the
natural, social moral, educational, industrial and
business conditions of this state are so good and
alluring that only professional knocker would
find fault with his own state.
The growing faith which many persons are
having in the goodness of their city, state and
nation is pleasing commentary on the trend OF
public faith in themselves and their projects.
This confidence does not grow by feeding on
doubt and a disposition to find fault, but wakes
strong on the desire to help and upllft rather
than to condemn and denounce.

God Bless the United States

So said Senator Owen upon his return from a
long tour of investigation in Europe. 1t was his
commentary on conditions overseas, and, per-
haps voices the sentiment of every person who
has travelled through the countries of that con-
tinent.
Long before the war, returning tourists hailed
with delight the colossal statue of Liberty in
New York harbor They never fully knew for
what exalted principles that gigantic piece of art
stood until they had seen conditions in other
countries where the priceless principles of lib
erty do not prevail as they do here. How much
more fervent must not be the thoughts of return
ing travellers today when they come back from a
devastated continent to land of peace and happi-
ness

We may have problems to worry and harass us.

conditions of other countries, we truly are doubly
