If the Court Please

TINTED STATES SOLICITOR GEN
u ERAL BECK has proposition which,
while not new, is interesting at this time
in view of the usurpation of law-making
power by the federal courts. Mr.. Beck
proposes that when congress wishes 10
mass a law which the supreme court might
overlule it shall ask that court for an
advance or advisory opinion.
Certain it is that enormous waste OF
money and labor and endless confusion
have resulted from the enforcement or
partial enforcement of congressional acts
that were finally nullified by the supreme
court.
While it may be said that that court
has been fairly consistent in combining its
decisions to matters actually in litigation
and could not be required to render such
advisory opinion, it is fact that courts
of Maine, Massachusetts, Florida, Colorado
and South Dakota do so function.

KEEP vIGILANT EYE ON CHIEF EXECUTIVE

which declares that the president sha nominate and by and
with the advice and consent of the senate shall appoint
If the constitution means anything Warren opponents it
that the senate has constitutional duty to perform and
that the members thereof must exercise their judgment rather
than the executives
The question is the ageong struggle between the executive
and the lawmakng branch.
For this every friend popular should be cautious
in his judgments against the lawmang branch which is under

the wish is befogged by alluring terms
Since the world reactions policy is to bring the legislative
branch into popular contempt
In country the claim is made that this "a government by
parties The inference is that when political party
control should be given free hand and then held accountable
at the next election.
This theory will not stand analysis.
Constitutional Fathers did not base this

On the contrary when political parties began taking shape

LABOR SURPLUS, BOTH
SKILLED AND UNSKILLED
EXISTS IN WASHINGTON
By international Labor News Service

BY International Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, d. c., March &C.
There is at the present time a sur
plus of clerical help and labor, both
skilled and unskilled, in this city, ac-
cording to Robert NJ. Pilkington, fed
eral director of employment. The
director, however, says employment
is increasing gradually, and more
men are working than in the first
two months this year.
Considerable building is under way
here, and several rather large pro-
jects are scheduled for the near fu-
ture. In view, however of the atti-
tude of the newly organized Opera
tive Builders Association toward
meeting demands of local building
tradesmen, it is not unlikely that
some of the building crafts may ask
that Washington be given a wide
berth. If strike is forced it will,
of course, be poor policy for union
men to come here looking for work.
Industrial activity in Maryland is
reported as fairly satisfactory, and
though there is unemployment in the
cities, it is said the volume is no
greater than is usual at this time of
year.

CAPITAL COMMENT

Congressman Frear of Wisconsin
says the Progressives were left off
Senate committees in order to grease
the way for legislation favorable to
special interests. Ordinary folks from
now on will read the Congressional
Record without hope.
Doctors are organized, nurses are
organized, and undertakers are or
ganized. And when they are at work
they usually have a central body.
We didn't take much stock in the
rumors of bootlegging in the Capitol
until senator's and congressman raised
their own pay 30 per cent. What else
would they want an increase for?
Colorado, Iron and Fuel Co.'s COM
pany advised its own company union
that if it didn't ask for a reduction
in wages mines would close. How's
that for free and independent work
men?
Governor Gore of West Virginia has
asked organized labor to join in the
discussion of problems of state. West
Virginia, evidently, in some manner
has elected different kind of gov
ernor.
Uncle Sam is going to ask the
Northern Pacific railroad why it has
never paid for several million acres
of land illegally secured in the West.
The railroad, no doubt, has a corps of
lawyers any one of whom can explain
this to the satisfaction of the govern
ment.
Washington is an excitable town.

'You can't brighten man into

These sermons create a spiritual
inferiority complex. It is infinitely
better to tell them what they can do
with Gods aid than what they can't
do without him.
There are some plays now being

II warn those who are closely allied
with the interests of wealth that the
march of monopoly and the continued
advancement of trusts will spell dis
aster in the end for those who today
seek by every means in their power to
defeat the purposes of the law and to
enthrone great wealth in this country
l warn them in that great combina-
tions have resulted in the past in gov
eminent control, and great combina-
tions in the future will bring govern
ment control. Those of you who pro-
pose to stand here today and uphold
the hands of this trust organizer, this
trust promoter, this trust conspira-
tor, thinking you are doing a service
to wealth, are in the end doing it a
great dis-service; for be assured of
this: When the markets are suffic-

been practically throttled, when few

BY The Way

John Garibaldi Sargent, from up in
sold Vermont state, as the real YER
monter has it, is now Attorney Cen
eral of the United States. Don't for
get it.
The name is one to cause pause,
hesitation and trepidation. John Gar
ibaldi Sargent sounds like the name
of one who might hold the scales of
justice up doggone rigidly, to the end
that no rich man shall be gouged out
of more than his proper share of in
come tax and no railroad hectored by
restless roisterers.
John Garibaldi Sargent wasn't the
Presidents first choice, as the country
apparently knows. But the senate
wouldn't let him hire his first choice
and so John Garibaldi got the job.
1t was a terrible joke on those who
vote dry in the senate that they didn't
find out until after they had approved
Mr.. Sargent that he is classed among
the foes of the Volstead act.
Nine out of ten persons probably
already have forgotten who it was
that the senate refused to confirm for
the place, which shows whatever it
shows. But anyhow we've got John
Garibaldi Sargent as result and here
we are-all ready to see what hap
pens. Cabinet making is a funny
business, if you are given to seeing
the funny side of life.
Many weary months ago, when no
body much would listen to what all
good people called wild rawlings, In
ternational Labor News Service, this
newspaper and other labor papers re-
ceiving this news service, were telling
their readers that great oil steal
had been put over. They were telling
all about Teapot Dome.
Finally enough persons woke W
and a senatorial investigation proved
that there were was something to the
charges. A national scandal was
kicked up and the matter became 9
campaign issue. Secretary of the In
terror Albert B. Fail resigned and q
lot of other things happened.
A couple Of weeks ago a great Law

ut is vitality important that we do
all we can to help the farmers of the
nation. Some say they can not be
helped by legislation and that they
must work out their own salvation.
The trouble is that we are everlast-
ingly legislating for all other business
and enterprise even when the legisla-
tion really hurts the farmer; then if
he is to have a square deal we must
legislate for him. "-Representative
