fusal Of the Senate to concur in the
appointment of Charles Warren as
cabinet officer.
Illustrative Of a number of the
restraints upon the United States
are the following:
No bill of atteinder or ex post
facto law shall be passed.
No title of nobility shall be grant,
ed by the United States.
No tax or duty shall be laid on
articles exported from any State.
No preference shall be given by
any regulation Of commerce or rev.
enue to the ports of one State over
those of another.
Some of the restraints upon the
States are as follows:
No State shall enter into any
treaty, alliance orr confederation,
grant letters or rnarque and reprisal,
coin money. emit bills of credit,
make anything but gold and silver
coin a tender in payment of debts,
pass any bill of attainder, ex post
facto law, or law impairine the obli-
cation of contracts.
The States were further restrained
In the selection of representatives,
senators and president by specified
qualifications as to age and resi-
dence.
The balancing restraints are
among the finest and most delicate
parts of the Constitution and one of
the very unusual features of it.
Probably more than we realize
they provide reason why the Con-
stitution has functioned so success
fully.

Loses Knight Errant Role

No small part of Governor
Smiths prestige as a national figure
comes from the pedestal of toler-
ance on which the McAdoo crowd
made it possible for him to stand.
Without any effort on his part, he
was literally lifted up before the
people as knight Grant of broad
mindedneSS.
Whether rightly or wrongly, the
people regarded McAdoo as a can
didate of the Ku-Klux Khan and
Smith as his logical opponent.
With McAdoo out and the Khan
going to pieces the opposition to
Smith can align itself on less Of
fenvise grounds. In that rises the
possibility that it may become more
formidable rather than less.

OLD WEATHER PROPHETS


The plamy days of weather pro-
phecy began after the close of the
Middle Ages. A new style of pro-
phetic literature then came into
vogue, consisting of small tracts
known as 'prognostica," most of
them written in Latin, each of which
contained a prediction of the wealth.
er for a single year, prepared in &C
cordance with the rules of astrology.
These predecessors of the alman-
acs appeared in astonishing num-
bers. In the sixteenth century fully
5000 were issued. One industrious
German, Hans Virdung, published
such weather forecasts annually for
fifty-eight years.
A memorable episode of this
period was the much predicted flood
that failed to arrive in February,
1924. Authorities were divided as to
whether this was to be a universal
deluge, like the Noachian one, or
merely an exceptionally rainy spell.
causing local foundations; but in
the works published on the subject
in different parts of Europe the fact
that three planets would be in the
watery constellation of Pisces at one
time during the month in question
was declared to be sure sign of tre-
mendous downpours.
These prophecies caused general
CONSERVATION. Everywhere people,
left their homes and took refuge on,
hilltops, where they remained until
the fatal month had passed. The
weather proved to be entirely normal
and the regulations of the astrolo-.
gers apparently did not suffer in the,
least from the f1asco!

With the wish obviously father
to the thought, most political
writer's in New York jump to the
conclusion that McAdoo's with
drawal makes it easier for Smith.
Far be it from me to throw water
on such a bright and agreeable
idea, but it has its weak points.
Whatever else may be said of him,
McAdoo has been a good fell for
Smith during the last few years, has
distinctly helped to visualize him as
the champion Of religious tolerance
and has made it rather Unnecessary
for people to think Of him in other
respects.

1t would not be surprising if Nc
Adocs withdrawal was designed to
pave the way for a candidate who
could hold his supporters and at
the same time suffer from no such
prejudice as has handicapped him.
He is looked on with disfavor in
some sections because of his attitude

son than that he comes from New

Used Silence as Weapon

BY remaining silent and letting
his opponents work up case, Smith
has made himself the most talked
of man in the country.
This was an element of strength
so long as he could depend on such
an institution as the Ku-Klux Khan
to do it with such man as McAdoo
in the foreground.
1t may become an element Of
weakness If the people are let free

IN which the United States Senator could inter.
vene in behalf of Shumaker.
The case at the time the Watson letter was
written was closed matter as far as the court
was concerned
All that was left for the court was to decide
and the court had the advice of six outstand-
ing lawyers appointed by the judges them
selves, as to the law and the facts.
Senator Watson, fortunately, has told what
he did in this matter and it is exactly the thing
which is charged by the Attorney General as a
corrupt effort on the part of Shumaker.
Watson wrote, in his letter, that he had
sent letters throughout Indiana which he hoped
would be helpful in keeping Shumaker out of
jail.
The people and the court must know.
eventually. and when the Senator leaves the
hospital, to whom he sent letters, what he sent,
and how he hoped that these letters would so
influence Supreme Court that the dry leader
would be kept out of jail
The Senator must bring to that court and
to the public his copies of letters so that the
people may know what he did that he hoped
would influence case then pending which
might have an influence on his own election.
He must tell what Senator Robinson said to
him when he asked him to do anything in this
case
This is "super government In action. It
is the hideous thing which affects not only In
diana but the Nation.
1t is the direct attempt to overthrow gov
eminent by law and make it government by
men.
1t is the great menace Of lobbying in courts,
which the people have so often declared must
be kept free from the profane hand of the
politician.
The Attorney General has accused Dr. E.
s. Shumaker because he enlisted the aid and
perhaps threatened political party if it did
not try to influence the courts That if true is
most properly denominated as corrupt act.
But the letter written by Senator James
E. Watson to DR.. Shumaker is an indictment
of his colleague, Senator Arthur Robinson, on
the same count
That letter is also an Indictment of himself
and confession.
If the act of Shumaker be corrupt, and if
true it was, then the actions of Watson as out
lined by himself, were more corrupt
When The Times asked Senator Robinson
whether he had ever tried for political pur-
poses to influence decision of the Supreme
Court, his prompt answer was that the editor
of this newspaper was an Infamous and ma
licious liar
He asked that the editor of The Times go
to,the Supreme Court.
The matter is now in the Supreme Court
we burden shifts from The Times to Senator
Watson and in that court the Senator will have
his chance, probably in all probability, to
answer the charge leveled at him by his senior
in service.
Once started, this can not stop.
Not money changers, but the politicians,
must be driven from the Temple.

MACHINERY TRIPLES OUTPUT.

Productivity of labor in the auto mobile industry has increased to the point where now the output per man. hour is more than three times what it was in 1914. Back of this, declares E. F. Roberts, vice president of the Packard company, is factor which has made it possible for twenty mil lion or more persons in the United States to own an automobile-virtu- ally new science that possibly has made the United States today the greatest industrial nation in the world.
 Tt is the development of machine tool equipment" this official points out, which makes it possible for one man to produce the work that former " was done by no less than three men-and do it infinitely better.
 "When the automobile was first de- veloped it was produced by the ordi- nary shop lathe and milling machine of that time and hand-fitted with the aid of file and hammer. As a ma chinist in the Packard factory in 1903 made piece for car, carried it to the place where the machine was being assembled and fitted it as well as hammer and file would make it fit in the place where it was to go, then started in on another piece.
 Back in those old days there were, in other fields of manufacturing, pro- gressive assembly lines, much dis cussed in connection with present-day automobile manufacturing. Machin- cry of that period, however, was as crude, compared with the equipment of a modern automobile plant, as the automobile of twenty-five years ago compared with the best cars of to- day.
 For quarter century there has been never-ending race between the machinery manufacturers and the au- tomobile factories Demands for more automobiles better automobiles and automobiles at less cost have kept the manufacturer of machinery striv- ing constantly to provide the auto- mobile plants with better and still better equipment for speeding their output, until today the American au- tomobilie industry ranks first among the worlds car producers"
