detail the origin and function of the

good and evil invested in a president
of the United States when elected TO
that high office by the voters of the
country. After the president the speak

in Douglas has received a great deal
of hearty cooperation from it's schools
in the civic education of it's women
voters and on no occasion has this CO.
operation been more practically DEM

Cherniavskys Will
Appear Here Mar. 81

The CherniaVskys will give con-
cert here on Thursday evening, March
31st Like a fresh breeze blowing be-
meath the tropical sun, the music of
Leo, Jan and NIischel Cherniavsky has
spread a novel and delicious atmos-
phere in the musical world.
The Cherniavskys' dash and the mag
netism. of the young artists bring a
new glamour to their Interpretation
of the great masters works. Not only
is their collective technique something
to marvel at, but their most precious
gift is the wonderful inspiration which
they are able to draw from their mu-
sic.
These triumphant young, but great
artists, have radiated their power over
five continents, and the stories of
their adventures sound like the Ara
bian Nights
Born in Russia of parents unable
to procure for them an expensive mu-
sical education, they struck out as
concert artists at about the age that
the ordinary child comes to the use
of reason and for twenty years they
have carried the flag of their genius
into twenty eight countries.
1t is unique to find three great So
loists such as Leo, Jan and Mischief
Cherniavsky combining regularly to
interpret trios. Their program always
commences with trios, then each OF
the soloists makes his appearance and
the combination brings it's dynamic
program to conclusion with final
trio. Their appearance here shortly
should undoubtedly draw a record au

he believed to have been sad msconception of the
law when they decided that the law makers, who
had also voted to increase the salaries of judges had
perfect right to dip into the treasury That ques-
ton is still held up.
Another of these important questions had been
before the court for more than eighteen months. II
deals with the dignity and power of the court itself
In the case Rev. E. E. Shumaker stands charged
with contempt of the court, the contempt being that
he had scattered false statements concerning de-
cison of the court liquor matters.
The attorney general said that the head of the
the court to fearlessly discharge its duty in liquor
cases and cited the fact that appeals were pending
in some twenty other liquor cases.
In this matter the judges called six of the most
prominent lawyers of the State first carefully inqur-
ing into their political affiliations and selecting them
with an even balance between parties, to tell them
whether there contempt not
1t is perhaps beside the question to suggest that
the judges introduced a rather strange note into
jurisprudence when they announced that they picke
their advisers on political basis 1t may have been
expected that they would choose them for regulations
for legal knowledge and courageous character. But
they picked them. And these lawyers gave report
which said that Shumaker was contemptuous
1t might be suggested that the judges then ought
not to have had any trouble in reaching decision But
for months there has been delay. What does that
suggest Has law ceased to be exact? Or are judges
proving that Gilliom right when he said that
courts are tyrannzed?
The other question involves D. c. Stephenson once
the most powerful political figure and perhaps the
States greatest dub in horse trades.
He wants. to get out the excuse that some
clerk failed to put the seal in the right spot in a
document or did not put it there at all.
That may be a very involved legal question 1t
may require research and study of all the decisions
of the past. 1t may be very necessary to discover
whether human liberty is at stake because of such
clerical omissions as ne cited.
Meanwhile the people of the State must be left
to ponder on what is law.
Can every Legislature raise its own pay? What
will the next do?Is it safe to crticise the de-
csons of the Supreme Court not? Can the acts of
a clerk upset decisions of juries? Who knows?

Lau, and Justice
BY Dexter M. Keezer

A 14year-old boy, through his father with whom
he lived, sued automobile bus company for dam
ages account of injuries resulting from being hit
by one of the companys cars. The trial judge, in
nstructng the jury in the said that if it should
find the boy entitled to damages it should take &C
count of Gloss of time inability to perform labor
or capacity to earn money on account of the acct
dent Attorneys for the bus company commended that
this because minor children, living with
their parents, cannot recover damages for loss of
time or reduced earning capacity because the par
ents entitled to the childs services and earnings
Attorneys for the boy contended that many such chill
dren do work and living and the damages
arising from an accident could properly take account
of this fact.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision The Supreme Court of North
Carolina held that the trial judge had erred in in
strucrng the jury to take account of the boys loss
of time and earning capacity The court said, "It
seems to be the universal holding that unemanci-
pated minor cannot recover, as an element of dam
ages in suit for personal injuries for loss of time
or diminished earning capacity during his minority.
The reason given that the father is entitled to
the services and earning of his minor child long
the child is in his custody and under his control
