No Abuse of Power

Justice Parkers appointment to the supreme court has
died down, we might just as well get Strengthened out
on one thing.
Regardless Of whether the senate did wisely or other
wise in rejecting the appointment, there is no basis
whatever for the complaint that the senate was strain
ing its powers in presuming to pass on it at all.
The writer's Of our constitution described their plan
for the federal government as a system of checks and
balances, with the executive, legislative and judicial
branches all held within bounds by their powers over
each other. The senate was given the power to pass
on presidential appointments for this reason, and in the
Parker case it simply exercised that power in the manner
designed by the constitution.
What the senate did may or may not have been un-
wise: it quite certainly was in no sense an abuse of
power.

Question-G. McC. writes: II have

Editorial Comment
That Diversion Meeting
(DeVilS Lake JOurnal

.: The meeting in Jamestown last week on the Missouri
river diversion project must have impressed the army
engineer who called it with the state wide interest in
the proposal, and the large delegations from many cities
of the state could not help but impress upon him how
earnestly the people of the state are interested in their
future water supply.
o. OF course no action was taken at the meeting. One
of the army engineers stated before the meeting that
he went to jamestown to listen and not to talk, which
foregone conclusion that the engineers were told much
which will be Of advantage to them when they prepare
their reports on the proposed plan. The various cities
which sent large delegations are to be c~omplimented
on their foresight and on their understanding of the
situation, and out of their converted action may come
something which will make North Dakota a greater state
in the future.

Politics

very fellow who should engage in it. What if George
Washington had never been born because of birth con-
troll? Or Abraham Lincoln? What II Calvin Coolidge

Shortly after his campaign manager and eight of his
workers had been arrested for alleged election Irregular
jties. former Mayor William j. Fulton of Gary, Ind,
shot himself to death in the bedroom of his home. He
left a note to his family, containing this significant mes
sage to his son:
BILL, you have been a good boy. Take care Of mother,
finish school and carry on; but don't get into politics"
It is that final admonition that makes one stop and
think.
Don't get into poliics!" The last word to his son of a
man who had been in 1t for II years. Don't get into
politics!"
It signalizes the result Of a trend that has long been ap-
parent, but that we seldom have brought home to us so
closely the long, steady decline of politics from the hon
pred place it used to hold.
A couple Of generations ago a political career was the
goal of every ambitious young American. It was a highly
honorable career; to be a senator, a mayor, a congress-
man or q governor carried a great deal of prestige,
marked one as a man of exceptional talent, testified to
ones ability and rectitude.
The result was that with few exceptions the best brains
in the country turned to politics. and the public service
was enriched with statesmen of a high order. There
were rascals in high office, to be sure-no country was
ever without them-but on the whole politics was the
one profession for the energetic man who wanted to make
his mark upon his times.
But now? The ambitious ~youngster, 20 to one, will
look to business. to the law, to industry. Politics is in
bad repute. The easiest way to get a reputation for
sophistication is to ridicule congress. We are no longer
surprised to read Of a congressman or a mayor being
caught in some law violation; nor are We surprised to
find this Gary politician advising his son. Don't get into
politics.
We have brought all Of this on ourselves. Politics
doesn't interest US as it used to. We devote all of our
attention to other matters, and let the politicians do
about as they like. We feel. broadly, just about as this
Gary man evidently felt: that politics is no place for a
tine. ambitious ~younsster.
Politics won't regain its old eninence, either, until the
day comes when we make 1t our business to study CUES.

A Navy Merely for a Spectacle

Even If the cause of world peace does some day pro-
gress far enough to make disarmament possible, it may
be necessary for us to maintain a big navy simply for
the sake Of the spectacle it provides.
Nothing on earth gives quite the thrill that comes
from the sight of a great fleet steaming along on its way.
The thing is in a class by itself. Even the most con-
tirmed pacifist can hardly help feeling a tingling in his
spine at the sight.
The United States fleet descended on New York the
other day. and the rest of the country got a slice of New
Yorks thrill through the newspapers and moving pic
lures.
The navy always stages its pageants beautifully, and
this one was no exception.
First, out OF the sea -mists at the entrance to the har-
Dor. came the battleships, gray and ponderous, majestic
and sinister. Then came the lean, graceful cruisers with
flags ~aflutter, the knite-edged destroyers, the unromantic
but necessary supply and repair ships, the Flooding SUBJ
m~arines-five dozen ships of war, with enough concen-
trated destruction in their innards to blow New York
off the face of the earth.
1t was a great spectacle: and fully as impressive was
the sight of the vast fleet anchored in the Hudson later.
But there was a sideshow to this spectacle that limited,
very quietly, that this tremendous fleet may be out of
date in the very near future, disarmament or no disarm-
ement.
For this great fleet was greeted by another great fleet,
less bulky but equally thrilling to look at-a group Of 10
naval airplanes that circled over New York in geometric
formations, dived down with roaring motors and saluted
the gray warships as they steamed slowly along the bay.
And if the surface fleet was potential destruction on a
huge scale, so was the aerial fleet. If those warships
could have destroyed New York in half an hour, so could
the %airplanes.
So this naval demonstration left us, once more, with a
question: which Of these two fleets is the stronger? Is
the airplane making the warship obsolete. or is it mere
ly ~supplementing it and giving the navy a new weapon
to use in conjunction with its surface vessels?
A great many people would like to know the answer.
We civilians, who also want enlightment, can only hope
that there will never be an occasion to settle the mat
ter in combat with a foe. Meanwhile, we might re-
member that that whole fleet Of IL dozen airplanes cost
less than one Of the dreadnaughts on the water below.
