The Editors Eve

An item was noted IN the trade
news recently, to the effect that man
ufacturers of overalls received many
orders curing recent months and
consequently been quite busy, This
is cheering sign and suggests the
probability of continued business ac
tivltY. Tue news that luxurles are
selling freely may indicate prosperl-
ty, but 1t may also suggest extrava
gance and the danger of financial
smash. No such idea Is gwen by
the ready sale of overalls, which In.
dlcates busy conditions in the tsc
tories and full paYrolls for the work
people.
Overalls may be regarded by some
as mean and plebisn garment, but
they are a symbol OF the forces OF
American industry and spirit. When
the country was JOY riding IN 1920
on a wave of luxurious spending, ov
erall parades we're held in many cl-
ties as a protest. They symboli=ed
the need for a change of temper, and
emphasized the thought that work
aud thrift should be the ideals IN
stead of free spending. Overalls are

than any fine garment. The man

that suggests that they have not lost

The man whose occupation is such
that he needs to wear overalls should
never apologize for them. He is ap
propriately dressed and senators and
presidents may we'll grasp his hand.

T IKE LAWLESS was a lawyer in st.
~ Louis. back in 1926. One day he deliv-
cred his personal opinion of a decision rem
dered by Federal Judge James II. Peck. A
st. Louis newspaper printed Lawless' views.
Judge Peck punished Lawless. He impris-
oned him for "a hours, and disbaTed him.
For so doing, the United States house of
representatives impeached Judge Peck and
put him on trial before the United States
senate. which is the procedure in such im-
peachments. Appearing to prosecute Judge
Peck was Congressman - afterward Presi-
dent-James Buchanan.
Many senator's, who believed Judge Peck
had exceeded his powers, still believed he
had acted in good faith and he was acquitted
on January 81, 1881. The vote was 81 to %.
To prevent the recurrence of any such
attempt, and in order that no other federal
Judge would mistake his authority, congress
in the same year enacted statute on the
subject of contempt of court.
Among other things that statute provides /.
THAT said courts federal courts)
shall have power TO punish,
by fine or Imprisonment, at the discre-
ton of the court, contempts Of their
authority: provided that such power TO
punish for contempts shall not be corr
strued to extend to any case except mis-
behavior of any person in their pres
ence. or so near thereto as to obstruct
the administration of justice"
