the kindergarten and that of the pri-
mary grades now has a common basis
and the work of the former contri-
butes to the work of the latter. This
new relationship has strengthened the
work of the kindergarten also, in
giving it more definite aims and new
standards by which to estimate its
value.

VALE THE PROHIBITION PARTY

Gator" you mean liar; when you call
man Munchausen, you mean liar,
and when you call a man "elastic in
his talk" you again mean plain,
everyday liar.
The Rev. Aaron S. Watkins, erst-
while candidate for president of the
United States in 1920, in a keynote
speech at Columbus, Ohio, at the
opening of the annual gabfest of the
side-door boys, made statement
according to the Associated Press,
that comes under the head of all those
definitions used at the beginning of
this editorial.
"Rev." Watkins declared "that the
prohibition party had been the pio-
neers in every great reform, political
OF moral, in the United States for the
past fifty years.
If prohibition, gagged from his
standard, meant anything during that
time, the few followers Of the would

Another advance toward judicial
autracy was made when Federal
Judges Carpenter and Wilkerson, of
the Chicago district, refused to recog-
nize pardon issued by the president
Of the United States to man SEN
fenced to one year in Jail for con-
tempt of court.
The judges ordered the mans ar
rest and confinement in Jail.
The injunction victim is boot leg
ger, but the judges made it clear that
they do not ask support for their act
because the defendant has 6, low moral
standing.
The judges presented clear-cut
issue. They said the president has
no power to pardon in contempt
cases.
The constitution gives the presi.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1924-06-13

dent power to pardon "offenses
against the United States" only, and
contempt of court is not a crime, said
Judge Carpenter.
The decision is easily understood.
1t means that the judiciary considers
itself supreme in contempt cases. 1t
enforces law by jailing for contempt
of court those who violate its edicts.
To the injunction judge disregard
of statute is nothing as compared
with violation of the orders of one
who has taken strange powers unto
himself
The president can be overriden by
congress. The lawmaking body can
have it's decisions set aside by the
president and the courts, or can be
repudiated by the people.
But the federal judiciary, appoint
ed for life, is supreme. 1t is beyond
the reach of those who give it life.
The judiciary is the one autocratic
institution in a land where the peo-
pie are arbiters of law and rules that
| effect their lives.
The judiciary is not only assuming
| greater power, but it denies the right
of anyone to criticize it.
| Like the Roman tribunes, against
whom comment was capital offense
the federal judiciary resents criti-
cism.
| 1t would assume an attitude supe-
rior to it's creators as it wanders into
legislative fields, issues guarantee
ing-annulling writs, jails citizens il
| it's command is disobeyed, and then
declares it is above and beyond every
control.
Our federal judiciary is travelling
the road blazed by the tribunes OF
old. 1t is repeating the historic truth
that power begets power.
The injunction judge is democrocy's
foe. He sets government by law
aside and establishes government
by the individual. He is less frank
than the Hohenzollerns and Roman
offs, whom he would initiate.
/ The remedy for the injunction evi
is light-agitation education. Lee
the nation understand this danger tt
democratic institutions and the wrong
will be quickly set aside by an en-
lightened public opinion.

could go on indefinitely.
Self-centered, egotistical to the
extreme, Rev. Watkins and his pur-
blind "goody-goody" followers, never
had a thought of doing anything for
humanity but keep their name before
the public and get some easy political
money.
Gods children did not mean any
thing to Rev. Watkins and his puddle
jumpers.
Egotism was his God, his self-cen-
tered end. And today the prohibition
party, of which he claims to be the
toes, foot, ankles, calf, belly and
snout, is given burial, never having
accomplished anything; never having
assisted in the making of better
condition for the toilers; never having
had the real Christian spirit to GRASP
the fact that this life of ours means
something else than receiving the
easy money that comes to those who
are fanatics and those who give them
sustenance.
The machinery of the prohibition
party was so efficient that it never
did anything, and now it has decided
to do nothing more for evermore.

THE IMMORTALITY OF PRO-
HIBITION

The president of Columbia Univer-
sity cannot be accused of viewing the
prohibition amendment and the Vol
stead law from the standpoint of an
old topper deprived of his regular
dram; from that Of manufacturer
of LIQUORS deprived of his business, or
from that of retailer whose place
has been closed; or, if open and dis
pensing unlawful beverages, is period
ically raided by the hounds of claw
enforcement" Dr. Nicholas Murray
Butler is one of Americas foremost
educators and a law-abiding citizen.
His viewpoint is that of a private
citizen of high standing, who recog-
nizes the fallacy of the prohibition
amendment, who has daily evidence
of the futility of the enforcement act,
and of the widespread immortality
that has followed. When he de-
nounced the amendment and urged
modification of the enforcement act
before the Missouri Society of New
York, he spoke as disgusted citizen,
one of millions such, who has seen
the mounting wave of law violation
and of immortality that has succeeded
the enactment Of this legislation and
the monstrous efforts that have been
made to enforce it's unenforceable
provisions. President Butler did not
exaggerate when he termed senators
and representatives in congress who
voted for the legislation "hypocrites,"
or when he arraigned them as open
supporters of prohibition while secret
ly bibulous in their Washington re-
treats. Nor did he mince words in
criticizing the sanctimonious men,
bers of the Anti-Saloon League who
exhort God in one breath and lin
another declare their confidence in a
convicted forger of the books of their
own organization. There has not been
severer condemnation of the Anti
Saloon League and of the prohibition
outrage than this from DR.. Butler
He disclosed the deceit that has in
volved the whole movement in dis
credit. He unveiled the reign of i'm
morality and of lawlessness that has
followed it. He pointed to the as
saults on constitutional rights, or
state rights and on personal rights
all endangered by this Legislative
violation Of vested prerogatives OF
citizenship. DR.. Butler said, and
truthfully, that the prohibition Law
has not been enforced and cannot be
enforced. He declared that neither
the amendment nor the enforcement
law should have been passed. They
have failed here, as their counter.
parts have failed in Canada, Norway
and Finland. He says it is time that
this situation was recognized, tins
that change should be affected that
will correct the mistake and restore

BIG ONES GET AWAY-EAS


AS is always the case in the most
exciting fish stories where the big
gest ones get away, SO it seems in
the case of the grafters who happen
to get into the clutches of the law
the biggest ores get off the easiest
Just last week was witnessed a case
of this kind where big one got
away-easy.
1t was the case of Henry L. Joyce
who pleaded guilty to defrauding the
government of between ST 600 900 and
100000, and to whom was traced
some of the railroad costs under gov
ernment control that standpatters
keep telling US about.
Joyce was manager of the marine
department of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey when that company was
operated by the government. He
awarded contracts without competi.
tive bidding to firms he was interested
in. When the indictments were hand
ed down his profits were placed al
100000, but Hiram C. Todd, spe.
cial assistant attorney general, very
considerably declared that the thefts
"probably" did not reach more thar
half that amount.

1.-The labor movement in Canada
and the United States is the most
potential, important and successful of
any country in the world. 1t deals
less in fiamboyant declarations and
proclamations, but our movement is
engaged in the interests of those
associated with it, and compared with
the economic and social conditions in
Canada and the United States are
better than those of any other coun-
try in the world. These things have
not been handed to US on silver
place, but have been won at the price
of struggle and sacrifice and achieved
by continuous and persistent effort
