If any poor children in this city,

not had the joy of having visited

reason why the privilege should be
denied them. They merely have to
travel north to Forty-second street,
then to a section between Forty

be brought to the view of youthful

Cherrypatch to the older natives.
AS youth strolls down the dusty

the sweet aroma of a horse stable

ATOP MT. FORAKER

scaled the twin peaks of Mt. Foraker. Drawing
a subzero blizzard, they climbed through deep
drifts of new snow to three mile SUBMITS.
1t was no afternoon outing, but required

the establishment of six base camps.
Standing where no human ever stood be-
fore. the trio perhaps gazed through the clouds
toward the twin crests of nearby Mt. Mckinley,
5000 feet higher and marveled at the forti-
tude of the Lindley expedition which assembled
to those SUBMITS two years ago. Or perhaps
they thought Of the dozens of hearty fellows

placed upon them. the statement carries its
own refutation.
1T was to guard against such narrow
conception that Chief Justice Marshall ut
tered the memorable warning-We never must
forget that it is a Constitution we are ex-
pounding-a Constitution intended to endure
for ages to come, and consequently to be
adapted to the various crises Of human af-
fairs"
So this continual gnawing at the vitals
of the Constitution" which the Liberty League
hopes to stop, was started by the arch-conserv-
alive John Marshall himself and is being car
ried on by Chief Justice Hughes and the
present court-only they have not described
the DEMONSTRATING process by such harsh
words as Mr.. Du Pont. The chances of the
Liberty League stopping that process are ex-
ceedingly slim.
That creates dilemma for the league: On
the one hand, it can not stand the conserva-
tive supreme court gnawing at the Constitu-
ton; and on the other hand, it dare not re-
strict the powers of the supreme court over
legislation because congress is much less con-
sentative and property minded than the court.
Perhaps the Liberty League will decide soon
to forget about the Constitution so long as
nothing can be done about that, and concen-
trate on its self-imposed task of combating
radicalism in congress- in the administrative
agencies of government, and in the country.
This in itself is pretty big Job. without tax
ing on the supreme court and the fathers of
the Constitution.

PERFECT, IN THEORY

TT will be interesting to see whether the On
tario legislature puts through the anti
ransom" law suggested by Attorney General
Roebuck. This official would have the po-
lice given authority to close the bank accounts
seal the safety deposit vaults, and otherwise
supervise the finances of kidnapped persons
and their relatives.
The idea of this, of course, would be to
make the payment of ransom impossible; and
in theory, at least, it is a sound program.
1t is perfectly obvious that if you make it
impossible for kidnapped mans family to pay
ransom, and apply the rule without fail in
any and all kidnapping cases, you are going to
take all the profit out of the crime-which, of
course, means that it will presently cease to
exist
The practical obstacles in the way of such
course, however, seems pretty big. 1t will be
interesting to see whether the Ontario author
tiles are able, first, to get the law passed, and
second, to make it work

BREAKING A POOR CUSTOM

MRS. HENRY T. RAINEY, widow of the
A'A late Speaker of the house of representa-
tives announces that she will not be a candi-
date for election to succeed her husband
thus reversing the tendency which had become
more and more noticeable in recent years.
In a great many cases, congressman who
have been removed from public life by
death have been succeeded by their widows;
and in some instances this simply was re-
1ected in wave of sentimental sympathy on
the part of the voters.
Such elections do small service to the
cause of good government 1t would be a
bad thing if we came generally to accept the
custom of putting widows in the line of sue
cession. Mrs. Rainey does us a service by
refusing to help establish that custom-al-
though she herself, having served as her
husbands secretary, and knowing politics
thoroughly, is better qualified than most
women to take place in congress.

PARIAHS IN LAW

EARLE w. EVANS of Wichita, president
of the American Bar Association, de-
serves the thanks Of the country for his ring
ing demand that the bar institute vigorous
campaign against the crooked lawyer.
The lawyer criminal" he declares sis an
offensive creature, usually found in the large
centers of population. who advises clients
how to commit crimes with the minimum risk
of detection"
This is true enough; and it might be added
that some of our most dangerous law
breakers would have been jagged long ago
if INSCRIPTIONS lawyers had not been will
ing to use any and every means to keep them
out of jail
Such lawyers, Of course, are numerically
an insignificant group in the countrys bar.
The things they do. however, have a far
reaching effect. 1t is good to see that the
head of the countrys bar association is alive
to the harm they do and is determined to
stamp them out.

army which depended on sheer weight Of num-
bers for its triumph was practically unheard
Of. Even the largest nations had small armies
by modern standards.
Military science was formalized and in
tricate. It took years to create professional
soldier; once created, however, he was invinci-
bic to all opponents except those as fully
trained as himself.
Then came the French revolution, and the
application Of CONSUMPTION. Time and again
the French defeated better troops by the sim
pie process Of overwhelming them with
numbers.
The art Of war changed Armies grew enor-
mously. Numbers became more important
than professional skill.
This condition lasted to the present day.
But the tide began to turn several years ago.
The machine gun gave one man the fre-power
Of a company; the airplane became more
potent than the cavalry regiment the tank
acquired the hitting power Of brigade.
The result has been to lessen the impor-
lance Of mere size. AS things are now, the
strength of an army depends on its equipment
and training not on its size. Because of this
it may be that we never shall again see armies
as gigantic as those of the World war;
AUD that, in its turn, would mean that the
frightful mass slaughter of 1914-191S would
not be duplicated.

HIGH COST OF STRIKES

IF you ever have doubted that the strike is
the most expensive way of settling labor
difficulties you might scan the figures pre-
sented by the Minneapolis Junior Chamber
of Commerce, dealing with the recent truck
strike in that city.
The truck drivers themselves, in wages,
lost S575 900.
Employers lost, in diminished business
s2OOOOOOO.
Taxpayers, through the calling of the ma
tional guard, had to foot bill of $450,000.
In addition there were deaths, injuries,
much property damage, wage losses to thou
sands of workers not directly involved in the
dispute, and the loss of much business some
of which will never return.
All this makes a pretty heavy bill for a
community to pay. Almost any kind of peace
full settlement would have been cheaper than
that, in the long run.

To the author of Drive Them
Out" and 1.-THE Sinclair Sign:
Because of the worth of your edi-
torials, I find joy in writing letters
Of praise to The Times But I like
better to offer you a higher COM
pliment, the one which is reserved
for men who are above the petty
things. I like to tell you how an
important group of your readers
actually think and feel.
In your editorial, Drive Them
Out" your indignation is righteous.
But will not your fine work and
spirit appear in a nobler and more
effective light if it be seen in the
essence of Let not your right hand
know what your left hand doeth?"
Surely, an institution which is
worthy of so many grateful friends
as is The Times can find no just
excuse for exposing itself to the
charge of Boosting or praiSing itself.
1t is the function of our friends
to do for us those things which we
can not do we'll for ourselves. AS
devoid of honor as those hard
boiled gamblers, politicians and Off
Gals may be, can we, with wisdom,
entirely ignore this rule of common
sense?
Never permit others to realize
that you are controlling them. Tact
fully allow them to believe they are
free from outside influence as they
obey your commands" We must
not fall below the Communists
standards of psychology.
Because of the significance and
excellence of your second editorial,
it deserves first place. In THE
Sinclair Sign" you attack the cause
1t, is no eXaggeration to state that
the Importance Of this fight tends
to make the first editorial appear
ridiculous by comparison. But why
did you not finish it? Why did you
not give your genius its way? Why
did you not give the people hope
and courage? Remember your
statement, "Our troubles begin and
end at the polls" Then with all Of
the nobility of unselfish service,
write with this spirit, Give them
liberty or give them DEATH"

PSYCHIATRY SUGGESTED
FOR CURLING CRIME
By B. R. o.

By B. r. o.
Recently in an article you made
reference to the use of psychiatry
in prisons in New York
An epidemic of escapes and the
desperation of some Of the criminals
should not blind us to the fact that
many others in the hands Of COM
petent psychiatrists, could be made
useful members of society. And If
they can be, what is the sense in
the state supporting them behind
bars and thus adding to the cost OF
government about which so many
are yelling?
It is known, for instance, that the
flrebuy usually is person suffering
from compulsion neurosis which
can be cured like a physical dis
ease.
Many thieves are kleptomaniacs,
whose trouble is neurotic in origin.
In many instances it can be cured.
A failure to cure these durable
cases means a tremendous waste in
public funds and in manpower.
Those who look upon all
criminals as desperate and incur
able, and whose ideas of punish
Iment reflect their Neanderthal past,

"GNAWING AT THE VITALS"

TRENEE DU POINT, one of the founders of
the new American Liberty League, has
amplified somewhat the vague statement in
the league charter in favor of upholding the
United States Constitution. According to him,
the league was necessitated by "the con-
tinual gnawing at the vitals of the Constitu
ton, both by change Of Interpretation and
by giving fictitious names to unconstitutional
acts so as to make them appear constitu-
tional"
OF course the only agency that has power
to interpret the Constitution is the supreme
court. Many liberals insist that the supreme
court has usurped legislative function in max
ing law through Interpretation and the power
to declare laws unconstitutional.
Is it possible that the conservative Amer
lean Liberty League is trying to get rid of or
restrict the supreme court, historically the
chief buiwark of our government? Probably
not. And yet, at what can the league be hit
ting for continual gnawing at the vitals of
the Constitution" and for change of interpre
tation," if not at the supreme court?
Assuming that the august members of the
supreme court are gnawing at the vitals of
the Constitution, just what can the American
Liberty League do about it? The only appar-
ent answer-besides agtating for abolition or
restriction of the courts to substitute better
lawyers to present property's case before the
court But that would seem far-fetched since
property always has been able to command
pretty fair talent.
Most of the justices of the supreme court
were once lawyers for corporations, and any
prejudices they may have are apt to be on
the side of property.
Yet even this supreme court recently has
held that "the Constitution does not secure
to anyone liberty to conduct his business in
such fashion as % inflict injury upon the pub
lie at large or upon any substantial group of
the people"
Again the court recently has held. in the
words Of Chief Justice Hughes. that 'the eco
nomic interests of the state may justify the
exercise of its continuing and dominant pro-
tective power notwithstanding interference
with contracts"
But. the American Liberty League may
protest. this radical legislation is danger
ous To which the supreme court already has
replied, through the chief justice, Whether
the legislation is wise or unwise as a matter
of policy is a question with which We dhe
court) are not concerned"
BY anticipation the supreme court also has
ruled out of court the complaint of Mr.. Du Pont
of the Liberty League as to change of inter-
probation" of the Constitution. The conserva-
tive chief justice in the recent Minnesota case
held:
1T is no answer to say that this public
need was not apprehended a century ago. or
to insist that what the provision of the Con-
stitution meant TO the vision OF that day 1t
must mean to the vision of our time. If
It is intended to say that the great clauses Of
the Constitution must be confined to the in
depreciation which the trainers. with the con-

OBSERVANCE Of Labor day has had dull
- gray tinge. in recent years, due TO the
unpleasant fact that the spirit Of earnest toll
which the day is supposed 70 commemorate
hasn't been getting much chance to exercise
itself
It has been little difficult to put on a
good. old-fashioned Labor day celebration at a
time when millions upon millions Of erstwhile
wage earners we're out Of work. had been out
Of work for months and saw little chance Of
being anything but out of work for months to
come.
Now it would be very nice to report that
Labor day Of 1884 is different from its imme-
date predecessors in that unemployment has
practically ceased-nice. but untrue, because,
unfortunately. unemployment is still very
much with US
We can say that things are somewhat bet
ter than they were. and that the future is
pretty encouraging - but. meanwhile, the
American Federation Of Labor estimates that
there are something Ike 100000 man who
want to work but have no jobs, and the fed
eral government continues to spend millions
OF dollars every week for unemployment relief.
However. We can say one more thing. and
by saying it can help to make Labor day far
more significant than it has sometimes been
even in eras of high prosperity.
We truthfully can say that the depression
years have taught US to reaSsess our old ideas
about the place Of labor in organized society.
We have learned that the community is not
healthy when labor is not healthy; that I'M
employed workers mean trouble for farmer
and banker and industrialist and white
collar worker; that we are ALL in short, in the
same boat, and that none of us will get along
properly unless all Of us are getting a fair
break
once We fully realize this-and We are
lot nearer to its realization than We have ever
been before-the way will be open for labor to
travel a much smoother road than it has trav-
eled in the past There will be less exploit
tation and more fairness; less class antagon-
ism and more cooperation; less aimless drift
ing and more progress along the road to
broader. fuller richer life for every man which
is the essence of the great American dream.

TRAFFIC COURT ON
RADIO CONDEMNED

BY Another Listener.
I want to compliment "a Radio
Listener" for his letter to The
Times, expressing his views, which
incidentally are mine also on the
traffic court broadcast.
1 have listened many times to
the proceedings and have wondered
why such broadcasts are permitted.
AS the writer of the letter pointed
out, it seems impossible for the de-
PENDANT to obtain fair trial while
the proceedings are broadcast, be-
cause there is no doubt but that the
decisions are for the effect they
have on the listener. The decisions
are given too hastily, with too little
time for concentration on the Sc
robustness Of the offense. I'm in fa-
vor of ending the broadcasts.

Light Loves

I love a gay poplar,
A light laughing poplar,
Whose tinkle and jangle Is sweet,
In silver green fashion
Beneath the winds passion
It's music is lovely and fleet.
I love white birch tree,
A slender white birch tree
To grace an inconsequent hill,
It's dances are maddening,
Inspiring and gladdening,
It's f1uttering hands never still.
But, an, more than each
Of these I love the beech,
So staunch and so grey and %
tall,
Oh, I love a poplar,
A birch and a poplar,
But love the beech best os al
