Courts and Coolidge Protect

During the world war, passion and
prejudice infamed the minds of the
people. Suspicion and hatred influ.
enced opinion and action. Frequently
individual, neighborhood and COM
munity bitterness resulted
During this time of inflamed and
often unjust public sentiment, let us
assume that constitutional safeguards
had been made imperative, or could
have been nullified by act of Congress
as is proposed in the personal plat
form of La Toilette, what could have
been the result?
Let us assume that under the in
1uence of this infamed wartime senti-
ment, Congress had passed a law af.
fecting the rights of naturalized citi-
zens, declaring that the civic and pro-
perty rights of those coming from
countries with which the United
States was at war was null and void
and that the property Of such persons
should be under the control of the
alien property custodian. There were
hundreds of thousands of newly natur.
allied citizens. 1t is further assumed
that such law might be made retro
active. Suppose Congress had passed
such a law-and in the highly i'm
famed sentiment existing no one can
dispute that there was agitation along
this ine-and the constitutionality of
such law had been called to the at
tention of the Supreme Court. Doubt
less the Court would have declared it
unconstitutional. Passion, prejudice,
mob thought and action influencing
Congress to re-enact the same law, ac-
cording to the La Toilette proposal,
would give it force and effect. This
Illustration furnishes an undoubted
example of what might happen any
time under an inf1amed public senti-
ment.
Again, article one, declaratory of
those fundamentals Of religious free
dom, free speech, a free press and the
right to peaceably to assemble, sought
to be abridged and invaded times
without number in our history. but
always preserved by the Courts, af-
fords another illustration Of the pos
sible destructive use of this pernicious
La Toilette doctrine. The Oregon
school case. the Nebraska language
case and others, show how vigorously
the federal courts have steadfastly ad-
hered to the principles adopted by the
American people and made effective
in 1871. In the preservation of human
liberties and rights these sacred prin-
ciples are as effective to-day as they
were then.
Another illustration is afforded by
the operation of the Eighteenth amend
ment. Here again the federal courts
have vigorously enforced the rights
conferred upon the people under

There are 100000 qualified voters
in Wisconsin. Approximately one
half of this number do not go to the
polls on election day. Are you a stay
away? Government affects the stay
at-home voter just as it does the citi-
zen that votes. In many elections,
a minority vote controls the selection
of officers. For years, an organized
force of State-paid workers-paid by
the Wisconsin taxpayers infu-
enced and controlled elections. If
Wisconsin citizens-all those who are
qualified voters-took an hour off to
escort themselves to the polls, a mi
nority vote would not control. The
attacks upon existing government at
this time should command the atten-
ton and action of every voter on No
vember 4.

Watson has consistently fought the
commission in every conceivable way
ever since it exposed the unfair trade
practices of the packing industry. A
few years ago the Indiana Senator
sought to discredit the commission
and its work by charging that it was
"honeycombed with dangerous radi-
Gals"
The appointment of Vernon E. Van
Fleet, a reactionary, was made by
President Harding at the instance of
Senator Watson. Van Fleet, with
Nelson B. Gaskill, the second reac-
tionary member named by Harding,
has opposed many of the important
findings of the commission.
As a fair example of their attitude,
it may be recalled that Van Fleet
and Gaskill voted for the Minneapolis
grain gamblers when the commission
recently arraigned them as guilty of
using brutal and unlawful methods to
destroy farmers cooperative market
ing organizations.

CAN'T STRIKE COURT

TOPEKA, Kans., Feb. 7.-Governor
Aliens industrial court has fallen so
low in popular esteem that it is sell
dom referred to except in terms of
contempt.
Former defenders of this system
have changed their viewpoint, and the
court is now considered a drain on
taxpayers for the benefit of polite
ians.
Governor Davis suggested that the
members of the court investigate coal
prices, but the members refused to
act. In asking the attorney general
to aid him, the governor said:
at is quite evident from Judge
McDermott's letter that he does not
think that he, or any other member
of the court of industrial relations,
should give any active or valuable
service to the state in return for the
munificent salaries allowed them.
at is too bad that the public serv-
ice should be encountered by those
who take that view of their response
bilities. He does not say that he is
too busy with the business of the
court. He do esnot say that it is
out of the jurisdiction of the court.
He just simply indicates that he
wishes to have this salary in return
for no service whatever"
Governor Davis estimate is the
view of the average Kansas citizen.
The court has cost the people more
than $1,000,O0O and despite frenzied
publicity it can not show a single So
cial gain for this expenditure. The
next legislature will undoubtedly re-
peal the law, and the thing that AL
len would ride into the vice-presi-
dency on will disappear.

ing Woodrow Wilson's presidency.
The meeting assumed an interna-
tional aspect by Vargas of the Pan
American Federation Of Labor de-
claring that the workers of South
America and the other Latin republics
hold the memory of Woodrow Wilson
in grateful remembrance. It was he
who checked the gray wolves of re-
action when they howled that Mexico
must be invaded. Iglesias of Porto
Rico said it was Woodrow Wilson who
inspired the people Of that island, and
who urged congress to give to Porto
Ricans the status of citizens of the
United States.
These stories were quietly told, and
they were as quietly received. They
were doubly dramatic because of their
simplicity. These veterans Of num-
berless industrial struggles related
for first time many other incidents
in connection with the dead presi-
dent; of his hopes; of his knowl-
edge of the workers ideals - and
his knowledge of forces that would
subjugate the men and women of
toll.

an employee of the commission, or
Charles Lyman, former secretary of
the National Federation of Farm Or
CARNATIONS.
When the appointment of Christian
reached the Senate it was quietly
shuttled to the committee of COM
merce which is controlled by Old
Guard members. Progressives discov-
cred the trick and made a protest that
brought the nomination to the COM
mittee on interstate commerce, where
it will remain as long the the Pro-
gressives consider expedient. Mean
while, an effort is being made to line
up a majority of Senators to vote
against confirmation when the nomi-
nation is reported.
Pregressives declare that Christian
is a reactionary, that he lacks essen
tial qualifications for the important
position, and that he is otherwise per-
sonally undesirable.

1t is asserted that President Cool
idge was induced to name him at the
solicitation of Senator James E. Wat
son of Indiana, in return for the lat
ter's retirement as a possible contend
er for the Republican presidential
nomination and his Endorsement of the
Coolidge candidacy.
The mere fact that Senator Watson
wants Christian on the Federal Trade
Commission is the best reason why
he should not be there, according to
Progressives and farmers represen-
tatives.
