in a third decision.
n
WHETHER or not the Con-
w gress and President Grant
packed the court to obtain re-
versal, it is true that two power
full economic factions we're bat
ting for supremacy at that period,
the railroads and the banks. The
railroads we're the chief debtors of
the bankers. The first decision
that debts must be paid in gold
rather than legal tender was a
crushing blow to the railroad mag
mates and a handsome victory for
the bankers.
1t is also true that the two new
justices appointed in 1870 both
had been conspicuous railroad at

them, Justice Strong, wrote the
1871 decision reversing the earlier
decision, and Justice Bradley con-
Cured in an opinion in which he
expressed belief that Congress had
intended to make the legal tender
valid for debts, even where the
contract specified gold
Justice Bradley's opinion echoes
with a special meaning today
when that exact issue is before the
court. He said:

not be crushed out. Tie people

Historians are not agreed as to
what happened then. At the very
moment Chief Justice Chase was
reading his decision President
Grant was submitting two new
Supreme Court nominees to the
United States Senate, Joseph B.
Bradley and William Strong.
Official historians of the Su-
preme Court commended unani-
mously that the appointment of
the two new members at this criti-
cal hour was a mere coincidence.
Critics have contended that the
Congress and the White House
deliberately enlarged and packed
the court for the purpose of OBJ
tanning new legal tender deci-
sion. You can have your choice.
At any rate, year later, on
May l, 1871, the nine member
court reversed the decision of fhe
seven-member court and declared
the Legal Tender Act to be con-
Stitutional. In 1884 the consti-

The courts objection to the hot

him a blank check. This also may
be the Courts objection in the

The controversial issue of
whether President Grant and the
Congress packed the court in 1870
is of extreme Importance today.
In Washington and elsewhere it
is being widely suggested now
that if the high court declares the
gold clause abrogation unconsti-
tutional Congress and President
Roosevelt can appoint additional
members and get new decision.
The Constitution does not specify
how many justices there shall be.
CONGRESS has varied the
~ number more than once, and
presumably for a definite purpose.
During the Civil War when four
members were Southern Demo-
Gratis, Congress increased the
number to ten, apparently so there
would be less danger of decisions
dangerous to the Northern cause.
When President Lincoln was as
saSsinated and Vice President
Johnson, sympathetic with the
South, came to office, the Con-
greSS reduced the court to seven
members, apparently so that the
new President would not be able
to appoint new justices who would
oppose the bitter reconstruction
policies put upon the South. Then,
when Johnson was out and Grant
was in, the number was made nine
again.
1t was after the reversal of the
legal tender decision that Ameri-
can creditors began writing the
gold clause into debt contracts. 1t
became routine practice. No
lender would provide money I'M
less the borrower agreed to pay it
back in gold of the weight and
fneness current at the time the
debt was created. The gold clause
developed out of the disillusion-
ments of the legal tender contro-
versy.
Long after the alarms of that
period were forgotten lawyers con-
tinued from habit to write the
clause into all bonds and con-
tracts. For decades it remained
an empty phrase. a legalistic re-
minder of time past, Not until
Washington deserted the gold
standard and devaluated the dol
lar to 59.06 cents did the clause
come alive with meaning again.
The droll thing about the gold
clause is that it has never meant
exactly what people thought it
meant. The true meaning of the
gold clause is hidden in the true
meaning of the gold standard The
gold standard has always been a
mythical thing.

Your Health

WHEN YOUR arm has been injured particularly
w at the elbow you are likely to develop STIFFNESS
and difficulty Of motion.
The elbow, Joint moves in two ways; by fexion
and extension Flexion is that motion in which the
hand is drawn toward the shoulder; extension the
manner in which the hand is drawn away from the
shoulder.
You also have two other motions known as pro-
nation and sUpination. These are brought about oy
rotating the elbow joint, moving the palms OF the
hand toward the body away from the body.
After the elbow joint has been carried for some
time in sling or cast it is necessary to develop mo-
ton again. The experienced doctor does this grad
ualy.
THE expert who handles cases of this kind tries

which the person with the injured sits Quietly.
The doctor then takes hold Of the arm with one
hand Just above the elbow and the other on the
wrist He moves the elbow joint very gently, but
firmly, using one or two motions the first day and
gradually increasing the number.
Once the arm is taken out Of the sling, however,
you can undertake certain exercises which "ll re-

never saw the sort of pitching that
was common up to the time of Babe

customers have not fully lived up to

Tired of All the Initiation

A ND then" Mr.. Evans reported, "he would throw
the damnest, craziest ball you saw. Not
even umpire with infallibe eyes and Judgment,
such mine, could tell what it going to do.
Often couldn't even tell what it had done after
it did it."
Mr.. Ruth and Hack Wilson, who hit SO home
in the National League few years ago. did not
have to deal with the gold standard ball or gold
standard pitching when they hitting their in
fated home runs.
Mr. Ruth did face the old ball and old pitching
early in his artistic life but his achievements then
we're comparatively modest. His average for those
DAYS might provide mathematical basis for the
final evaluation of the inflated home run.
Now the citizens seem to have tired of home run
imitation and they might be attracted back to the
ball yards by promise OF gold standard oaseoali'
That seems to be the way it is with all imitation,
eventually.

Theu Knew Some SweH Tricks

CONSISTENTLY. the soulleSs corporations which
~ own the baseball industry altered the formula
for the manufacture of the standard baseball and
took away many little tricks and devices previously
allowed to the pitchers Contrary to popular belief,
baseball is not national treasure but the property
of the soulleSs corporations They specify the size
and weight of the ball and the ingredients at their
discretion.
Thus, they may add rubber or kangaroo fuzz
or other lively ingredients at Will whenever they be-
lieve that more home runs will draw customers.
The pitchers, up to the time Of the initiation were
constantly improving their science whereas the hit
tiers had reached certain point Of development and
then stalled. The pitchers were using slippe% elm,
Hcorce and tobacco juice resin, emery and paraffin
and were known to nick scuff the hide of the
ball with their finger nails to make it perform certain
trick in flight.
Some of them, with their big, banana bunch
hands, could wrench and stretch the leather peelng
until the ball wobbled around in its like lone
potato in gunny sack, and fell dead with a dull,
punk sound matter how hard square it was
Swatted.
The master pitchers themselves never knew why
the ball did what it did in response to their tricks
Mr. Will Evans, colege-taught umpire of many
years service studied these problems devotedy, but
never arrived at any explanations.
He learned that Eddie Cicotte the shine-ball
pitcher for instance given a smear of paraffin wax
on his baseball pants could rub a ball the
until he had shined high polish on spot about the
size of a quarter.
