governmental powers being voted by
Congress.
How the conservatives look at this
possible change in court balance and
at the new legislation was indicated by
Justice Sutherland, when he said In his
dissenting opinion:
"The effect of the Minnesota legisla-
ton, though serious enough in itself Is
Of trivial significance compared with
the far more serious and dangerous in
roads upon the limitations of the Con-
stitution which are almost certain to
ensue as q consequence naturally fol-
lowing any step beyond the boundaries
fixed by that instrument"
It remains to be seen, however,
whether the court really showed its at
titude toward the whole new deal in
its decision on the Minnesota mortgage
case. II either the Chief Justice or
Justice Roberts should switch. the court
attitude would be changed. That would
mean thumbs down on the N. r. A.
and the A. A. A. and other recovery
agencies.
officials have talked Of the situation
that might follow a Supreme Court de-
cision invalidating some Of the impor-
tant recovery legislation. They have
expressed the opinion that a crisis
might then be precipitated and that
Congress might be called upon to take
an extraordinary step.
The Supreme Court itself q q Gre
alton Of Congress. The Constitution
makes no provision for a court of a
definite size. The judiciary act Of 1888
created Supreme Court to consist of a
bench of a chief Justice and five asso-
ciate justices.
Twelve years later. in 1901. the. size
justice and four associate Justices A
year later one associate justice was
added. Then In 1906 the number of
associate justices was raised to six, In
1887 it was raised to eight and in 1853
In 1866 Congress decided that no va
cancies In the position of associate JUS
tice should be filled until the number
should be reduced to six, and that that
number should be maintained. But
three years later Congress provided for
q bench of chief justice and eight
associate justices. It has remained at
that size ever since.
While reasons differ for the changes
IN the size of the court, political ext
gencies sometimes played a part. In
the present situation there has been
some comment that Congress might, in
case OF an adverse court attitude to-
ward emergency legislation, again in
crease the size Of the court. That would
permit the appointment of a majority
favorable to the legislation.
However, this Is an extreme sugges-
ton. It never has been hinted at
among high officials, and the way the
Minnesota mortgage case is being in
terpreted by administration supporters
leads to the thought that a sharp issue
involving the Supreme Court In politics
may not arise during the period aheao.
In trying to make his program per-
fnanent, time is on MI. Roosevelt's Side.
At least two Of the conservative Justices
are at an advanced age and may soon
retire. Should an opportunity arise for
new appointments men OF friendly
viewpoint could be named to the court
by the President

some Of the Federal aid from washing

give the Federal Government the privi-
lege Of determining In each case the

determining the cause. In some cases
1t win doubtless be found that schools

I'VE. according TO His promise. look
for new heavens and . new earth
wherein dwelleth righteousness"
These words were written by IN early
Christian disciple at Q time when
everything appeared dark and unprom-
Using for the new Christian religion.
There was nothing to encourage the be-
lief that the little group. courageous Is
It was. to whom had been committed
the propagation Of the new faith, would
meet with measurable success.
But q few years before, the Master
who had taught them. had been brought
to His crucifixion. His memorable utter
ances. as well as the philosophy Of life
which He had brought to the world,
were preserved In fragmentary accounts.
The young church had hardly estab-
lished itself In few and scattered
places, and strong and powerful forces
had consptred to defeat 1t.
In the face Of such unpromising con-
ditions bold exponent Of the new cult,
looking out upon Q world that was un-
responsive, II not antagonistic to the
Christian faith, dared to affirm, I'VE,
according to His promise, look for new
heavens and new earth wherein
dwelleth Righteousness" He combatted
the skepticism and misgivings Of those
who affirmed that no change had been
wrought In human society or In the
habits Of men. notwithstanding the
strong and urgent appeals and encour-
aging prophecies Of the great leaders
that had gone before. These skeptics
af1rmed: "Stnce the fathers fell asleep
Ill things continue as they were"
When one studies this early period
Of the church's development 1t is annax-
ing to find how 1t resisted all the ele-
ments that conspired to defeat 1t. As q
matter of fact, those early centuries
witnessed to a growth Of this seemingly
impotent body that is nothing less than
phenomenal Down through the long
centuries that have followed, men have
repeatedly affirmed that the Christian
religion has failed Of its high purpose.
One daring commentator over q CEN
tury ago maintained that 1t would not
last out another half century Of time.

Federal Aid to Schools.

A great many people who might
otherwise oppose in principle the allo-
cation Of vast sums by the National
Government to aid directly the public
school systems Of the States and cities
are In favor Of that action today. This
Is because past restrictions on-the use
Of Federal money have been lifted.
Money from the Federal Treasury Is
being spent by the hundreds Of millions
to aid all sorts Of causes. And when
the question is one Of what cause to
aid. the public school systems now so
desperately stricken by depression claim
priority.
The meeting here last Saturday Of
the Federal Advisory Committee on
Emergency Aid in Education has asked
for Federal aid to tbs extent q about

A BETTER TOMORROW
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN D. D, L. D, C. L,
Bishop of Waskington

There are doubtless many today who
regard the church and Christian insti-
tutionS generally as failing In their de-
signs and purposes and threatened with
ultimate extinction. Their claim u that
they can see no Improvement in the
life Of the world and that Christians,
generally, contribute little or nothing to
the betterment Of human conditions.
It was interesting to note In q re-
cent article from the pen Of a gifted
journalist that after so years Of close
observation he had reached the definite
conclusion that. this mad-house world
Is getting better" He says: Prom
time to time among US arise Sad-voiced
prophets, who assure us that mankind
Is hopelessly wicked, that the world
grows always worse instead Of better,
all attempts to reform 1t are ridicu-
lously futile and all is lost. As q mat
ter Of fact, however, 1t Is impossible
for this old reporter, looking about him
now and recalling conditions SO years
ago, to escape the conclusion that the
grows better" It is popular nowadays
to write and discourse eloquently upon
the degeneration Of human society.
Max Nordau's Degeneration" has
many exponents In our modern life.
BOOKS are pouring from the presses
today that set forth the theory that
our present form Of civilization Is
practically doomed: that there Is moth
ing in it worth salvaging. The popu-
lar text Of such pessimistic writer's
might well be: "There q none that
doeth good. no not one" It is curious
how readily and without accurate
knowledge Of actual conditions men
and women fall under the spell Of these
doleful prophets. We are by no means
approximating those ideals Of life set
forth by the Great Master, but we are
encouraged to think that those who
believe in His teachings are giving
more serious thought today to a world
wherein dwelleth Righteousness"
than they have for a generation past.
OF one thing we are certain, that, un-
constructive criticism contributes lit
tie to the healing Of the wounds Of

SHOOTING STARS.

Holidays.
We've had our Happy New Year-and q
happy day indeed.
We are thinking of the holidays to
come
We're very often startled by the things
we hear and read,
For this good old world Of ours Is
going some.
We will celebrate the heroes Of our pa
triotic past
As we were always taught to do in
school
Oh, what a disappointment it will be to
us at last
II Happy New Year turns to April
fool.
But we're waiting for the showers and
the blossoms that will smile
As the rainbow scatters colors from
the sky.
Well still remain courageous. though In
Just little while
A frost may change our laughter to
a sigh.
We can make new resolutions at most
any time Of year.
Nobody can suspend the Golden Rule.
So well each keep going forward to an
other day Of cheer,
If Happy New Year turns to April
fool.
