Now that the Standard oil tanks are assured, our people are beginning less fault-fnding. There is nothing so exhilarating as success, and Seward has certainly been strangled long enough to have quit it's existence save for the fact that climatic conditions and location made it impossible to do without the harbor. We believe our worst days are over and that from now on a good healthy growth will be apparent.

While we will admit it is more eco nomical the town presents a depress- ing appearance with no street lights. One of the chief attractions of Seward ard was it's appearance as one came into the bay, with it's glittering lights and well lighted appearance. A town like a kid may be starved by too much economy.

The UnshakabIe Court

IN. 1 lTlDune)
Speaking Of the unwilling Of a
monument to Chief Justice Chase,
Chief Justice Taft recalled other
days when the highest Federal court
was under fire from radical opin-
ion. The radicals of the SOS were of
a different stripe from the radicals
who now thunder against the court 5
'reactionary" decisions. Thaddeus
Stevens and Benjamin F.. Wade were
black Republicans, who would have
spurned the hybrid Republicanism of
Robert NJ. La Toilette. In their time,
however, they were as resentful as he
and his followers are now of court
disapprOval Of measures embodying
their particular kind of radicalisnn.
Stevens and Wade felt that Andrew
Johnson was trying to block their
plans of Civil War reconstruction.
They shackled him as far as they
could They also girded at the court
because it baked at some of Recon-
struction's eXtravaganceS in law and
theory. Bills were introduced then.
as they have been now, abolishing the
courts power to declare legislation
invalid by a bare majority decision.
There was talk then, as there has
been since. of taking from the court
the right to nullify acts of Congress-
In Chase's era the court faced the
resentment of militant party with
a two-thirds majority in each branch
OF Congress. Yet it came through
unscathed, chiefly because the pas
sions Of the hour could not blind men
long to the fact that the court was an
Indispensable instrument of govern
ment and that it could not function
successfully unless it continued to
have the power to interpret by inval-
idation as well as by approval.
What was true sixty years ago is
even truer today. The Supreme
Court was weak and little respected
when it began it's labors. jefferson
treated it contemptuously. But under
Marshall 1t found itself and made
good it's claim of judicial veto, since
without this veto there could be no
real future for it as coordinate
branch Of the government.
Marshall read the stars better than
Jefferson. The court has grown stead
lily in authority and esteem. 1t was
the most agreeable surprise in our
whole constitutional experiment. Talk
OF dismantling it or abolishing it falls
on tnattentive ears. It has served us
superbly. We honor 1t and believe in
1t. And its critics have never been
able to show us how we could get
along without it.

TENDING TOWARD TYRANNY

Many times Thomas r. Marshall.
former vice president. has given ut
terance to timely words, none more SO
than those he spoke yesterday about
class legislation. THE old American
order, he said, was an order Of rep
rosentative government. consisting of
three branches, one to make laws, one
to interpret them and one to execute
them 1t was an effort to remove law
making. law-prosecution and law en-
forcing from a sudden outburst Of
anger and passion that sways the
minds and judgments Of men.
1T is up to the American people
pretty soon to determine whether
they care to maintain the old fash
toned system of government which
preserved the life, liberty and proper
ty of it's citizens, or whether they are
to plunge into the experiment OF a
new democracy, where the shifting
tides Of the passion of self interest
or class interest vary standards from
day to day.
Every indication points to the COM
ing of such test. The tendency to-
ward class legislation if continued
must inevitably arrive. as he points
out, at the control of government by
one class and when that happens it
will be the end of democracy. He
W ell said: THE tyranny Of the class
is just as ininlical to the rights Of
the people as the tyranny Of single
man sitting as the representative of
an unlimited monarchy.

years later the 10 Negro Masons APP
piled to the grand lodge Of England
for permission to be set apart as a
regular lodge. The application was
granted and a warrant issued them,
Sept 9, 1874, authorizing the setting
up of a regular lodge to be known
as African lodge, No. 459 with Prince
Hall as master. 1t was not until
April 90. 11S7, that the warrant from
the mother lodge of the world was
received. the delay in delivery being
primarily due to chaotic conditions
, superinduced by strained relations
existing between the colonies and
Great Britain. Four days after the
warrant had been turned over to
Prince Hall and his colleagues, the
lodge was organized and entered on
the English registry with other COL
Onial Masonic bodies. In 1877,
Prince Hall as gradn master issued a
license to IS Negroes in Philadelphia,

Quaker City, about the same time

organized by authorization of Prince
Hall in Providence. r. l. The lodges

was changed TO the Prince Hall

spread throughout the United States.

hundred thousand members.
