PASSING THE BUCK

TT is such an event for conservative Republican
leader in these times to admit the possibility of
improving the Constitution that our first impulse
is to fnd something good say for the proposal of
youthful Gov. Hoffman of New Jersey.
His suggested amendment, requiring the Supreme
Court to pass on the constitutonaty of all Federal
laws before they become effective seems on its face
a reasonable way to eliminate the troublous period
of uncertainty which sometimes extends for months
and years between enactment OF law and the
final edicv of the Supreme Court.
Also such plan might serve to cause Congress
to legslate with more elaboration.
But would it do either?
The Supreme Court itself frequently changes its
mind, it might hold freshly passed law constitu-
tional, not foreseeing how the law would work out,
and then years later rule otherwise on appeal of
specific case. Wouldn't we still have uncertainty?
Under the present system, Congress enacts legis-
laon knowing it will be the law of the land at least
until it be carried up to the high court by
litigan Would congressman be more careful if re-
leved of that responsibility? Or would they habit
ually pass the buck to the court?
In the last two and one-half years. according to
a checkup by President Harper Sibley of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, Congress has passed
than 900 laws. 1t would be sizeabe job for
nine elderly justices to examine the constitutional
aspects of that many laws in that length of time.
But you may say, they would examine only those
laws against which constitutional objections were
raised.
That would mean every law any one happened
to oppose.

VAN SWERTNGEN TURN
AMAZES STUDENTS

BY Puzzled
These Van SWeringen brothers
probably will go down in history
books as twin phenomena to puzzle
and disturb the students Of Ameri-
can life century hence.
They built themselves up during
the boom until they owned a giant
railway empire. They did it all
through using other peoples money;
from first to last. the part that their
own savings played in the erection
of the vast pile was unimportant.
Then came the depression, and
they went into debt. To clear the
debt, their creditors auctioned off
the brtohers' holdings; and the
brothers bought them back again
for less than a tenth of the amount
of the debt and came out into the
clear again. debt-free and masters
Of their domain-using, once more,
money that was jn large part put
up by some one else.
It's hard enough to understand
right now. What won't it be for the
students of the future?

We Are Lucky at That

With signs the broadcasters gave
up. The radio stations climbed
on the Detroit hookup-and we
got baseball instead of Mussolini
And if the broadcasters had
kept on with the speech instead
of going to the Tigers ball park,
I would have torn my radio out by
the roots. But that's just the
point.
Here in America we still feel
that way. Mussolini is at war,
the British fleet is closing in on
the sea lanes. Europe is watch
ing the horizon with strained
anxiety, but the Atlantic is wide
and deep, and we are on this side
Of it, and we can afford to put
war threats out of our minds and
listen to an afternoon of base
ball
We do not live under the ten
sion that torments Europe. We
do not have to wait before our
radios to hear some dictator pro-
nounce the words that will change
the course of all our lives. We
can cut him off, before we know
what he said, and tune in on the
World Series.
We are very lucky.

WAR is CALLED GRAND
CLIMAX TO LIVING

By Times Booster
The war drama now being staged
by the white race of Europe, in
conquest of the unattached portion
of the black race, is a fitting sequel
to the war to end war;" and to
make the world safe for democ-
racy" and international f1nanciers.
War is a necessary and unavoid-
able concomitant of our capitalistic
system of production for profit. War
is not determined by propaganda or
stayed by peace resolutions of paci-
fist organizations. War is the nat
ural road for capitalism, determined
by the monetary gain to be OBJ
tanned, either as supplier of goods,
credit, or as participant in the muir
der struggle for land, resources or
trade.
In our own country, the struggle
for personal gain at the expense of
the more scrupulous and ignorant
people breeds crime, slums, poverty,
disease, and great so-called depres-
sions, due to failure of proper dis
tribution of social income.
Our distinguished citizens, who
are advertising the building of
"precept on precept" to insure char
acter building in the homes Of to-
day, can expect little change IN
youths attitude toward handmade
law while the best parents succeed
in wringing profits from the unfor-
tunate in violation of Gods law of
love and brotherhood.
We may have the outer earmarks
of civilization. but scratch the skin
and we still find the savage ready
to kill, steal, bride, cheat, deceive,
and gloss over iniquity.
Our religion acts as an opium to
encourage us to drive on mercilesSly
over those whom we force into eco
nomic degradation. We climb 70
fame and fortune over the corpses
and wrecks of our fellow men and
under privileged children.
So why hesitate about war? 1t is
the grand climax of our living.

Washington, 312 by IL miles, with
population of 60; and Tanning,
912 by 4 miles, with a population
of AT, are of much greater i'm
portance, both having for many
years been more or less success

ploying labor imported from the
Gilbert Islands. Tanning, since
1902, has been a Pacific Gable sta

Whatever else you may say
about us Americans, you will have
to admit that we are very lucky.
A good part of our luck con-
sists of the Atlantic Ocean. 1t
sure cuts us off from the great
est headaches that afflict this old
world. We may get some of the
after-effects, but we don't get
them right between the eyes the
way the Europeans do.
A beautiful example of our luck
occurred on the day when Musso-
lini called 100000 Italians to-
gether and made blood-and-
thunder speech.
This speech was rebroadcast in
the United States. 1t was in
Italian, and we American citizens
who sat at our radios waited pa
tiently for the gentleman to finish
so that studio commentators could
read translatiOns and let the
people know what it was all about.
At last Mussolini got through
and the tranSlators got to work.
But there was an interruption,
Up in Detroit the World Series
baseball game was about to start.

are having little depression.

Oh. matchless morning star,
What beauty fingers in your

To glow while nlortals dream.

And yet, I CLEAN tranquility

HIGH HOG PRICES GET A
RISE FROM LAWRENCE
BY Victor XoImer. LaWrence.

BY Victor Volmer, Lawrence.
What is the most important topic
of today-hog prices, the Italian
Ethiopian row or the soldiers bonus?
I have come to the conclusion that
the housewives war against the
high cost of food is the most i'm
portant topic of today in the
United States.
AS far as the war in Ethiopia is
concerned we're out of it. Where
there is a dictator you can always
expect war. The country is not
even concerned with defense formal
tiles which, as a rule, goes along
with the Geneva peace conferences.
The bonus topic is gradually fad

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

A A-YEAR-OLD GIRL writes: my mother is
opposed to the attentions of a young man who
Is coming regularly TO see and whom I like very
much. She reminds me that I have always depended
upon her advice and her Judgment and warns me
that unless do in this I'll probably regret it,
Do you think she is right?"
daresay she is, my dear If a girl of q has
never been allowed to make her own selections in
minor matters there's no reason to think she know
now to decide wisely in the matter of a husband
The selection of a dress is far less important The
person who can't do that without mamas helm will
be in terrible mudde when she has to weigh the
qualifications of a prospective life partner Good
Judgment is quality which is not picked up at
moments notice
This kind Of situation makes me boil. It's the
sort OF thing thousands of girls are up against From
the day they are born mama has guided them.
She superviseS their play, picks their playmates
selects their school, arranges their social activities
Isn't it only natural she wants some say-so when the
time comes for choosing husband?
The position of the girl is tragic of course For
although she may rebel at authority she can't
change one fact If she selects the right man it will
De merely streak of luck The only thing she has to
go oy Is her emotional reaction to the man-and
this, as mama we'll knows can be utterly deceptive
HOO4e4 VI 4dteA every mOIQer-QaugAter closed
corporation hits this snag. Then both are to be
pitied, for both will suffer
"Oh, please let me have this one mother" That's
cry you hear every day in department. stores and
shops. Generally the reply will be: Mother knows
best"
That mother knows best stuff is bad medicine for
children. Even if mother does know best she's got
to prove it by letting the youngsters make bad elec
tons once in while. Before they will be convinced
she is right, they must be convinced they can be
wrong.
