at first, but with an ever-increaSing
recognition that since they cannot be
escaped from they may as we'll be
taken with good will We have the
assurance of an International loan to
help in setting Germany on her feet.
We have. above all, a prescribed limit
set to the duration of the Ruhr ad-
venture, and the certainty that no
such enterprise will again be at
tempted.
These are huge gains. They open
up real prospect of reha bilitation
and the return of Europe to a COM
paratively tranquil and stable condi-
ton. They clear the ground of a
whole mass of obstructive and in
fammable material that was not only
dangerous in itself, but that blocked
the way to the considera ton of other
and in some ways deeper problems.
Europe has not necessarily been saw
ed by the London Conference; but it
mas been put in a state where safety
with relatively little further effort is
attainable. The most obstinate part
of the wreckage left by the war is
now well on the way to removal; the
question of how Germany is to pay
for the damage she wrought is as
good as settled. But there will still
be left plenty for craftsmanship to
do in seeing that a Germany which
Will rapidly recover and become SOL
vent and prosperous does not also
become menace. A durable and
an1icable European dispense ton is
still to seek, but the results of the
Londcn Conference are a step, and a
long one, towards it.

right of life, liberty or property,
or prohibit the free exercise Of
religion or the freedom Of speech
or of the press.
IF the authority now vested in
the supreme court were transfer
red to the Congress, any major
ity, no matter what their motive,
could vote away any of these
most precious rights. Majorities
are VIGOROUSLY irresponsible.
After irreparable damage had
been done, the only remedy that
the people would have would be
the privilege Of trying to defeat
such majority at the next cleo
ton. Every minority body that
may be weak in resources or un-
popular in the public estimation,
also nearly every race and relig-
ious belief. would find themselves
practically without protection if
the authority Of the supreme
court should be broken down and
its powers lodged with Congress.
1.-THE same reasoning that ap-
plies to the individual person ap-
plies to the individual state. A
very broad twilight zone exists
in which it is difficult to distin-
guish where state right ends and
federal right begins. Deprived of
the privilege Of its day in court,
each state would be compelled to
submit to the eXactions of the
Congress or resort to resistance
by force.
ION the other hand, the legis-
lators of states. and sometimes
the people, through the initiative
and referendum, may pass laws
which are very injurious to the
minority residents of that state
by attempting to take away the
privileges which they hold under
the federal constitution. Except
for the courts, such a minority
would have no remedy for wrong
done them. Their ultimate refuge
Is the supreme court of the
United States.
AT time when all the world is
seeking for the adjudication of
differences between nations, not
by war. but by reason, the sug-
gestion that we should limit the
jurisdiction Of our domestic
courts is reactionary in the high
est degree. 1t would cast aside
the progress of generations to
begin again the contest for su-
premacy between executive and
legislative. Whichever side has
won in that struggle, the people
have always lost.

Editorial Comment
Preaching Tolerance
(PresS-Herald)

One of the amusing things about
this campaign has been the introduce
ton of several southern Democrats
who have been brought to this State
to talk to the Maine voters about
tolerance" They all come from
states where such a thing as "toler-
ance' is not known and has not been
for many years.
In the states of Alabama, Georgia,
Texas and Virginia, from which
these distinguished speakers come,
lot. There are hundreds of thous-
ands of them who dare not so to the
polls or take any part in elections.
II they attempted to do SO the halt
err. the bonfire or shotgun would
settle their fate very quickly.
These eloquent men and women,
fired with zeal for tolerance" have
been participating in politics in these
southern States for years and the
voice of none of them has ever been
raised in behalf of giving the negro
voter the rights which the Constitu-
ton of the United States guarantees
him. To think Of these people enter
ing the State of Maine and talking
to the people here about tolerance"
is enough to make the devil himself
chuckle with glee.
In Texas, where there was recently
battle royal between the Khan and
Anti-klan forces, the latter party
won a decisive victory, but no negro
helped in achieving 1t. The battle
was fought out by white men and
women. Texas negroes have learned
by sad experience that the franchise
is not for them, whether the Khan
be in power or the Anti-Klan.

PUTS THE BRAND ON
laEOLlE1TE

The platform made by LaFollette,,
his public record and utterances in
the past are conclusive evidence of
his intent to weaken the Supreme
Court and subordinate it to Congress
sional majorities. He has not said
much about this so far in this cam
paign, but there Is not a shadow of
doubt but it is one Of his basic pur-
poses. And while he poses as pro-
gressive his attitude toward the
Court Is reactionary in the extreme.
1t would undo constructive effort,
which suffered and endured to the
end that there should be protection
for the minority as we'll as for the
ma jority. He would take us back to
conditions under which the rich and
powerful were more arrogant and the
humble individual own-trodden and
impoverished.
President Coolidge took occasion
in his Lafayette day address to call
upon people to take a stand against
a deliberate and determined effort
being made to break down the guar
antees Of our fundamental law. 1t
was not necessary for him to mention
LaFollette, nor point to what the
LaFollette campaign means when he
declared that the question is "wheth-
er America will allow itself to be de-
graded into a communicate and So
cialist state, or whether it will re-
main American"
We can think of no one better
qualified for stating this great issue
clearly and authoritatively. than is
President Coolidge. In his own life
he has demonstrated the possibilities
afforded under our form Of govern
ment for one capable and willing to
make good use Of the tools at hand.
No man in public life has given
greater evidence Of ability to see to
the heart Of things and to express
what he sees.
He brands LaFollette's scheme to
emasculate the Supreme Court. as
the scheme Of 4 reactionary. not a
progressive. Aware that little danger
Of direct assault on our institutions
need be feared he lays bare to the
view. even OF those who run. the
logical results to be expected from
the most insidiods appeal ever made
to the American people.
II people will but read what he has
said and keep It in mind there need
be no apprehension respecting the
result. he has made it 80 plain. When
he tells US the Court il not tyrannical
but our safeguard against tyranny,
that the Constitution IL the source
Of our freedom. that somewhere must
Be lodged the power to interpret it.
that It will not do to leave this either
to the President or to Congress.
sometimes dictated by a President,
sometimes reactionary and some
times visionary, he tells It 30 clearly
all may understand and none may
successfully dispute in the presence
Of intelligent people.
Consider this:
Some people do not seem to
understand fully the purpose of
our constitutional restraints.
They are net for protecting the
majority. either In or out Of the.
Congress. They can protect
themselves with their Votes. We
have adopted written constitu-
ton in order that the minority,
even down to the most tnsisnif-
cant Individual, might have their
rights protected. So leng as our 4.
constitution remains in force, no
majority, no matter how large,
can deprive the individual of the

LaFollette has made his reputation

would strip from the Supreme Court
the power to protect minorities and
