can lawfully arrest, try or punish n

officers of the law, and such officers
only when they proceed in the manner

such things. Ours is n government of

our government cannot continue To ex-
iSt, and the rights. privileges and i'm
munities guaranteed by the constitu-
ton TO all citizens Of the republic will
be irretrievably lost.
But for the courts the Constitution
would speedily become a dead letter.
Congress has practically ceased to re-
gard the Constitution in enacting legis-
lation. and has shown a lamentable
disposition TO yield to clamor and pop
ular pressure. even when in doing so it
is violating both the letter and the
spirit of the Constitution. The execu-
tive is tending rapidly TO become SIM
ply popular magistrate-to become
the tribune Of the people instead of
remaining the defender of the consti-
tuition. Legislative and executive vio-
lations of the Constitution have been
approved by popular opinion when
committed to further the popular will.
We repeat. that but for the courts the
constitution would speedily become a
dead letter. Whenever a law is passed
that infringes any constitutional right
of a citizen. he may have the question
of the laws constitutionality decided
by the courts: and the courts usually
refuse to let the citizen be deprived of
his constitutional rights either of per-

rights. 1t is because these things are
so that a persistent war is being waged
on the courts and powerful Influences
are working to have the courts shorn
of their power. 1t has been proposed
to provide for a popular or congress
siOnal referendum of court decisi. ms.
and TO require that decisions holding
laws unconstitutional shall not be of
any force or effect unless render,l by
unanimous vote. or at least by two
thirds vote. of the Supreme Court of
the United States. If this war on the
courts should be successful. and the
courts be shorn Of their present power
to apply and enforce the Constitution
for the protection of individual per-
son nd property rights. then the con-
stitutiOn is certain to be done to death

WARNING SOUNDED
ON GRIP DIAGNOSIS

symptoms OF the devils grip"
disease now prevailing in Virginia,
exactly coincide with the symptoms
marking ten or more maladies OF seri-
Gus nature, according To DR.. James
Fl. Cannon. chief surgeon OF the Gal
lInger Hospital.
He warned readers of the list of
symptoms. as printed in The Star
yesterday and as taken from letter
from DR. W. {. Fowler. District health
officer, to local physicians. not to
jump to the conclusion they had the
new disease.
There are ten or more serious dis
eases that begin exactly as does the
devils grip as described by DR.. Fow-
ler." declared DR.. Cannon today. voic-
ing the opinion of other physicians
with whom he has consulted. who
feel that the list OF symptoms may
lead laymen into serious error.
Other Possibilities.
Here are some OF the things you
may be suffering with, even il the
SYMPTOMS are exactly those OF the
disease with the lurid name:
Perforated gastric ulcer. perforated
duodenal ulcer, gall bladder intectlon,
citis. pyelitis. stone in the kidney

which would speak volumes TO the
medical man, would be passed over py
the layman, who might think that ne
was suffering only from a case OF the
devils grip when, as mater Oh
fact, he might be in the frst stages
of an attack of appendicitis. requlr-
ing immediate operation.
DR.. Cannon believes that no one
can say a person died of the "devfIs
grip" without an an ansopss' disepss sEe as tse se
similar to the symptoms of the other
diseases named.
The letter of the health officer of
the District was to physicians, Dr.
Fowler bringing to their attention
pany the disease" 80 that they may
more readily recognize it, should it
make It's appearance in Washington.
DR.. Fowler told physicians that
while the great majority of the vic
tins are under twenty years of age,
older persons are not altogether i'm
mune from attack. The number Of
fatalities are few. he said.
1t is this last statement which DR..
Cannon, who is attending staff sur
geon at Georgetown University Hos
pital, objects to, as do other physi-
clans They feel that if the average
layman is told that the new" disease
Is not often fatal and is supplied
with list Of symptoms he will jump

himself.
If, however, he in reality Is suffer-
ing from pneumonia he will lose pre-
cious hours in correct attention and
the physician will be called only
when 1t is too late.

S. f. KRAMER BACK
FROM TRIP ABROAD
Assistant School Superinten-
dent Reports England Sac
rificing for Education.

Assistant Superintendent of Schools
Stephen l.. Kramer has returned to
his desk after an extensive tour in
Europe, and is now busily engaged
in getting all the necessary prepara-
tions made for the coming school
year. One of the first matters Mr.
Kramer is planning to devote his at
tention to is the assignment Of
teachers to classes.
Mr.. Kramer expects a normal in
crease In the number of children that
will attend the District schools, or
about 1,200. With this increase the
| number OF students attending both
the grade and high schools will range
from from $1,000 to 10000. This will mean
the continuance Of the enlarged
classes and the double-shift system
which heretofore has been necessary
to take care of all the students at
tending the District public schools.
Eastern High an Exception.
The Eastern High School alone will
not have two shifts during the next
school year. and it is the plan of
school officials to transfer as many
students to that school as is possible
in order to relieve the congestion
in other schools
Mr.. Kramer, who, during his tour in
!, Europe this summer visited England de-
clared the English people are going to
the point of sacrifice in order to main
tain and better their Uublic schools. The
pay Of the English teachers is proper
tionately niger than that in America,
says Mr. Kramer, who pointed out that
the pay of the school teacher in Britain
IA" for Il long time been one and a
half that of the best paid artisans In
| that country. The American teachers $
SALARY is nowhere near such a proper
ti"n when compared with the Amcri-
can artisan.
British Budget Increased.
! Mr.. Kramer stated that the British
| budget dealing with public schools has
1 been Increased as much II not more than
/ any other item given consideration by
| the British government. He pointed out
| that the English people now are re-
| garding public education as it is re-
! garded in America-that is, as a ma
| tlonal investment rather than as d gift
| or charity.
! On September Il, the first day of the
school year. the old Eastern High School
building will open as a junior high
school. The Langley and Macfarland
! junior high schools now under construc-
ton will be open about October J.
