Defense of Constitution

Washington, Oct. 4 (Capital News
Servicel Senator Frank b. Willis, OF
Ohio, has rendered the country SER
vice by calling especial attention at a
memorial service TO the late Warren
G. Harding. to the Presidents love
and veneration for the Constitution.
The Constitution" said the Sena-
tor, lis being attacted from two angles.
First, it is being attac.ed by those
who consider themselves above the
law" he said. BY those who sneer
at it and arrogantly assert for them
selves the right to pick out particular
provisions which they propose TO vio-
late at win because they do not ap-
prove Of the provisions OF the law.
ITO those advocates Of lawlessness,
President Harding spoke in no un-
certain terms when he said What
ever objection there is to this so-called
invasion of personal liberty does not
hold when the supremacy of the law
and the stability of our institutions
are menaced. do not see how any
citizen who cherishes the protection
of law in organized society may feel
secure when he is an example of con-
tempt for law. There must be no issue
in this land paramount to that Of en-
forcement Of the law"
"Such is the present attempt TO
prove the law lawless, and the Con
stitution unconstitutional continued
Senator Willis, "by taking from the
Supreme Court Of the United States
the power to declare acts Of Congress
unconstitutional. II this spurious re-
form shall be adopted, there will be
an end to constitutional government
in this country"

FRAUD CHARGED TO
STEAMER LINE AGENTS

BUCHAREST, Nov. ia SEN
sation was caused here by the ar
rest of the Bucharest agents of the
Baltic American Line. They were
charged with selling emigrants third
class passages from Hamburg to
New York as first calss - charging
first class rates - and Thereby
making an additional profit Of some
5000 lei on each ticket so sold.
1t is stated that several hundred
emigrants have been defrauded in
this manner. As an agent of the
line conducted the emigrants TO
Hamburg, they apparently had no
means of learning what class of
steamship accommodation they were
booked under until actually board
ing the vessels. The conductor who
accompanied the last batch has
been arrested by the Hamburg po-
lice, and is being turned over to
the Roumanian authorities

Legally the taxicabs could charge

Mr.. Jordan said the organization
had invited the cooperation of
business in New York, New Eng
land and other states and had been
successful in inducing men and or
CARNATIONS controlling large affairs
to give their aid in the fight against
the cotton parasite.
"We have the poison, we know
how to use it and we know that if
it is generally used we will relegate
the boil weevil to a, rather nnel-
viable place in history instead of
allowing him to continue his deadly
work against the cotton crop in this
country" said Mr.. Jordan. " 1t is
one thing to have the means of
killing the past. j, 1t is quite another
to induce the farmers to use them.
