BACK TO LONDON
(MinneapOlis JournaD

minneapolis JournaD
John w. Davis says that Senator
LaFollette would have us go back
to London. The statement is cor
| rect.
The House of Commons is the
! whole works in Great Britain.
Once there was royal veto, but
that long has been in allegiance.
Once the House of Lords was
equal to Commons, but today it
can only delay the will of the low
er house and rarely dares do even
that. No court in Great Britain
has power to correct or to annul
an act Of the Commons. The
Commons can theoretically, or as
we say constitutionally, decree
any thing it's sweet will desires,
from confiscation of property to
suspension Of private liberties.
Actually the Commons Dies no
such thing, or rather has done no
such thing up to date. But if
Prime Minister Macdonald could
get majority in the Commons to
authorize him, he could put gen
eral levy on capital, or take over
the railways without compensation
Of the owners. or replace the
union jack by the red flag, or
sovietize the United Kingdom, or
imprison anybody, or do any old
thing that is outrageous, despotic,
and dishonest.
To he sure. the Commons is
bound by traditions which COM
pose an unwritten constitution
such as Englishmen respect and
have been obeying for centuries.
The force of tradition over there
we Americans cannot we'll under
stand and do not reckon with.
But tradition does supply the
place of written constitution
very largely, and so far has suf-
feed. The fact remains, however,
that in the last analysis a major
itv Of the House of Commons is
sovereign in Great Britain and
nothing substantially exists to
limit or restrain its authority.
That condition is what Senator
LaFollette's proposal would trans
fer to the United States. He would
abolish the Supreme Court as a
coordinate department Of govern
ment. He would make Congress,
except as restrained in part by the
executive veto, master Of our Gov
eminent and arbitrary in power.
He would grant to Congress not
those powers which are expressly
enumerated in the Constitution,
but all powers, the power to do
anything it wished. Against such
a Congress as LaFollette would
have. our States would have no
rights, we as individuals would
have no rights, there would! be no
rights outside it's permission or
tolerance. We should be subjected
to a legislative tyranny such as
even the House of Commons does
not exercise, for we have no body
of traditions providing us an un-
written constitution such as Great
Britain possesses and respects.
So that Senator LaFollette would
not only "go back to London" as
Mr.. Davis charges, but also he
would out-London London, as we
have set forth.
The thing the Wisconsin states
man proposes isn't American, it is
English. 1t is super-English. Mr..
LaFollette has been pro-German.
He would now out-England Eng
land. But real Americans are
American still.

But the Twins weren't going

another look. They hated to tell
the poor Sand Man that the sleepy
sand was net to be found. =
They passed a bank called "The
Sand Bank" and peeped in the
window. There were bushels and
bushels of sand heaped up.
"I'll say some magic words and
if the sleepy sand is there it will
jump out" said Nick. So he said,
"1miny Jimmy" But not a thing
happened.
; mo, it isn't there" he said.
They passed a fiddler playing a
fiddle, but making not sound.
"What's the matter. Why don't

Nancy.
"The most beautiful music is
the music you don't hear" said
the fiddler with a queer lock.

LETTER FROM RUTH BURKE TO
LESLIE PRESCOTT, CON-
TINUED

OF course, Leslie, you know that
Julia Ansted wants to have an inter-
est in the shop. She has made a
wonderful manager, and sometimes
think it is due as much to her as to
ME that it has been successful. Not
withstanding, you seem to think l
am absolutely necessary to it's pros
perity. What would you think of
giving her a small interest in it
That would leave us in comparative
independence of it.
Write and tell me what you think
of the plan.
l don't imagine you will be home
very soon, if your love has not made
you too fearful of your fathers con-
dition, and he is not better than you
think.
My heart goes out to you and to
your mother. The sufferings of those
we love are perhaps the hardest
things we have to bear in this world.
We can suffer our own pains, our
own misfortunes, our own mental
hurts, because most of US have hearts
that are stout enough to bear the ills
that come to US; but always we seem
to feel when we see the sufferings OF
those who are very dear to US, that
we must give them some impossible
relief.
However, my dear Leslie, you have
one great solace. Your father, my
dear. is great and good man. What
ever comes, that satisfaction cannot
be taken from you. 1t is the great
est heritage he can leave to you.
This is a very long letter, my dear
and there is still much l would like
to say. But after all, when one
wishes really to comfort friend
one must talk face to face. So 1 will
just add the words
Until soon, RUTH.
