CHRISTMAS SEALS

It is rare indeed to receive a call for financial assistance and to feel absolutely no involuntary antipa- thy to the emblems of the cause seek ing aid. And yet, it is believed, this is the situation in regard 10 the Christmas Seals which we have been receiving through the mails just now. We are all asked to buy some of these little seals in order that the great cause for distress in New Britain and in the world may be attacked at its roots--in order that there may be less sickness here. more of the sunshine of health and happiness. And when s letter comes to us with ono of these Christmas seals on the back, its pres enCc there inspires a feeling Of tri"nd- illness toward the sender of that letter which few similar evidences Of thought or others could do. The per son who sent that letter is one of the army Of generous hearted who want to help others to strength and hope. That is our immediat" thought. He or she has purchased somc Of those seals, and, by aniNng one to every letter he or she is doing just one more little thing, at the cost of some trouble, to inspire others. too, 10 buy some of tho seals.
 And SO when one ls asked to speak word urging the universal purchase Of the Christmas seals, 1t would seem illc an ungracious action indeed. thoughtlcss, cold deed, to turn away from the appeal and remain silent. II would he quite as offensive an act as would be that Of the man who. seeing another human being pale and suf- fcring and ill., turns his face the other way and passes on. deafening his ears 10 the groans Of distress which the sufferers can not still
 IL is with thc utmost confidence that ono calls attention 10 this time Of the year, when the season for universal frstivtty is SD near--the time when. above all other hours. we are inspired io heed the word of "Pcoce and Earth Good Win Toward Men" and to do our little toward bringing happiness 10 whenever we may; and it is with the utmost confidence that one may sense tho Unusually generous response which will bc made this year 10 this call Of the $cw Britain Tuberculosis Renef Association 10 aid tho ill by doing the one little thing now which will spread comfort. renewed hope. to tho sick and unfortunatr throughout all the year that is 10 come. and which will bring to us who are healthy of body a new prosperity. a new joy. greater. more satisfying be- cause or the remembrance we make today Of those who have no such health and happiness as ours, Buy our seals now. for them.

What the Public Wants

Ben HOOPER, chairman of the railway labor board, is
deeply concerned because of attempts ITO curb or hand
cap the supreme court in order that the constitution
may be Subyerted and broken down." Recent proposals
to REQUIRE seven members in nine, or twothrds vote
of the supreme court TO declare law unconstitutional
constitute the curb and handicap that perurb his spirit
Usually BenS clarity of vision IS pronounced In TINS
case he misses the point
No one desires to subyert the constitution-no one
aims or seeks to break il down. What Is widely desired
is that when the supreme court considers conStitu
tona question il shall be convincing not only IN ITS de-
cision but in its analysis of the points ut issue.
Perhaps Ben will admit that a definite, satisfactory
and convincing decision is not entirely attained when the
court is as evenly divided il is possible to be, and
when also the dssenters dissent from each other IN
various WAYS Certainly such divergence of opinion
such lack of unanimity-among trained and learned
minds is bound TO doubt and dsrust to possess
the minds of laymen. Naturally when doubtful, they
grope for remedy And the remedy they seek Is one
that will heighen their respect for and confidence IN,
the court and its decisions instead of the reverse.
Old Sam Johnson said, The law Is the last result
of human wisdom acting upon human experience Tor the
benefit of the public" Largely this is true. 1t Is not
To wondered at therefore, that the public is aroused
when its sentiments crystalized into law, are thrown
into the discard by the margin OF one vote IN
its highest court-a margin born OF hopeless dis
agreement Without dSrespect for the court, the public

presentment of its constitutional error than that
