More False Theories
By James T. Williams, Jr.

All ciUic Uirtue, all the hero
ism and Selt-SGcritice of patriot
ism spring from the habit men
acquire of regarding their nation
as a great organic whole. tden-
titying themselves NTH its for
tunes in the past as in the
present, and looking torWard
GnriouSly to its future deStinieS.
-LECKY.
Mendacity is favorite
weapon Of those Sappers-
Alien, Allied and Associated
that are seeking to undermine
the Government of the Consti-
tuition with a view to its ulti-
mate overthrow.
Having overthrown it they
propose to set up in its place
a despotism in the Congress
that can easily be changed into
a dictatorship in the presidency.
This mendacity sometimes
takes the form Of deliberate
Misrepresentation of the trainers
of the Constitution, Of their
purposes and of the fruits of
their laborS.
At other times it appears in
the shape of false statements
concerning the members of the
Supreme Court of the United
States or of distortions of the
records of the Courts decisions.
PREJUDICED VIEWS
Many innocent but unwary
Americans are in danger of be-
ing trapped by this trick of the
Reds, Pinks and Fellows into
erroneous impressions of the
American system of Govern
ment. Prudent people will take
the precaution to check on these
attacks upon the Constitution
and the Supreme Court, which
are appearing with increasing
frequency in the Congressional
Record.
The more gullible, however,
may be tempted to swallow
whatever any radical Congress
man says if it appeals to the
prejudiced views of his auditor
or reader.
The Reds, Pinks and Fellows
are just now engaged in spread.
ing far and wide false state.
ments regarding both the Fed
eral Constitution and the Su-
preme Court. The public is be-
ing told, for example, that the
so-called veto power" held by
the court was an invention of
Alexander Hamilton, and that
his resolution in this regard was
voted down.
Turn to the records of the
Constitutional Convention and
what will you find to be the
truth in this regard? The rec
ord shows that no such resolu-
ton was introduced into the
convention, if by veto power is
meant the power to hold an
act of Congress unconstitutional
in a case instituted in the court.
The record in this regard has
been clearly set forth by the
distinguished historian of the
Supreme Court-Hon. Charles
Warren, of Massachusetts-in
his most timely book on Con.
gress, the Constitution and the
Supreme Court"

within against the American
system of Government, is on
this wise:
1t is contended that the Court
has usurped power not given it
by the Constitution and has
thereby set itself up as "Su-
perior" to Congress.
This charge is wholly without
foundation and, as Mr.. Warren
points out, proceeds from a
complete misunderstanding of
fundamental principles Of the
American Constitution"

Constitution established a new

tinueS, with three Independent

they did not intend nor did they
provide, for a government in
which these three branches
should be absolutely indepen-

ers constituted a government in
which not only should each
branch have limited powers for
itself, but each branch should
also have a curb or check on
the operation of the other. This
is what we mean when we speak
of the American Government
as being one of Checks and
balances"
SINISTER PURPOSE
This is what we mean when
we speak of the American syS-
tenn of government-the Gov
eminent of the Constitution. To
remove all check or curb on the
power of Congress would be to
Europeanize the A m eric an
system.
This is the sinister purpose of
those Radicals in Congress who
are attacking the Constitution
and the Court. These Radicals
intend to set up in Congress a
despotism having the power to
violate each and every consti.

These Radicals insist on de.
priving the citizen of his right

Now is the time and every
State is the place for all thought
full Americans, and first of all,
young Americans, to study for
themselves the records that re-
veal the truth about the Amer.
lean system of Government.
Now is the time for them to
take to heart this admonition
of a gresS historian:

LA SALE. ILL.,, January l6.-Five
terrorist bank robbers, who killed a
bank cashier and the sheriff of
Marshall County, wounded two others
seriously and kidnapped l3-year -old
farm boy whose automobile they had
stolen, were surrounded by the police
in a field near Varna, Ill.,. today
Three of them were reported wounded
The dead we're Glenn Axline, sheriff
of Marshall County, and Charles
Bundy. cashier of the Leonore State
Bank.
The wounded were Charles Feipp,
member of the Board of Super
visors of La Sale County, and Deputy
Sheriff Brown of Marshall County.
Sheriff Slain in Fight.
Sheriff Axline was shot and killed
near Varna, ILL.,, by the bandits when
he and his men attempted to halt the
robbers in their fight from Leonore,
where they had killed Bundy and
wounded Feipp in an attempted bank
robbery.
City and county police from La Sale,
Putnam and Marshall Counties and
La Sale, Peru, Peoria and other cities
were closing in about the bandits.
The five desperados gained entrance
to the Lenore Bank during the night,
apparently through coal chute. When
Bundy, accompanied by Feipp, opened
for business shortly before 8 am, they
were confronted by the robbers, who
fled, abandoning their automobile. As
they neared a cornfield the robbers
split up, four taking to the highway
and one dashing into the field
Bundy and Fiepp followed the man
into the field and overpowered him.
Farm Boy Kidnapped.
The four who had escaped encoun-
tered a farmer and his 13-year old
son driving to Leonore. Forcing the
farmer from his car, they compelled
the boy to remain and returned toward
the city.
They came upon Bundy and Feipp
as they were marching their prisoner
from the field. The four bandits
opened fire and Bundy and Feipp re-
piled. In the exchange the two men
fell wounded, Bundy mortally and
Feipp seriously.
The freed robber Joined his COM
panions and the five sped south.
The boy hostage was later freed, un-
harmed.
One of the bank robbers committed
suicide in preference to capture.

Political Abuses Under

Overwhelming sentiment against the

Overwhelming sentiment against the
proposal to give the Commissioners
authority over the Board of Education
and Public Library was voiced today
by civic leaders at the opening ses-
sion of public hearing on the ten
tative bill to expand the powers of
the city heads.
This feature of the bill monopoliZed
practically all of the debate and there
was a veritable revolt against the
change, which was regarded by speak
ers as opening the door to the pos
sibility of political influence over the
school system.
With the exception of a number
of District officials who championed
the objectives of the proposed bill,
there was scarcely speaker who did
not register opposition to the plan to
give the Commissioners power of veto
and direction over the actions of the
Board of Education.
Another Session Expected.
The hearing was concluded at 12:45
pm. Commissioner Allen said it was
probable another session would be
called soon to afford more deliberate
discussion of the many questions in
volved in the whole bill.
The measure would give the Com
missioners control over many other
agencies as well as the Board of Edu-
cation and deals also with a wide
range of matters, including finance,
recreation and police powers.
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman, who drafted the tentative
measure at the request of the Commits
sioners, opened the hearing with a de-
fense Of the need for the change, de-
claring the District now has a verita-

While favoring the broader general
powers for the Commissioners, Edward

tory in last Sundays plebiscite
Despite the cancellation of a Coun-
Gil meeting today amid rumors that
France and Germany were disputing
conditions for the date of transfer,
experts said they saw every reason to
believe that an accord would be
reached and that a Council meeting
was likely tomorrow
A French spokesman said an agree
ment already had been achieved. A
German negotiator. however, told the
Associated Press the accord had not
been completed late this afternoon,
although an agreement seemed prob
able.
Germany, it was learned. has been
holding out for transfer on Febru-

The thorny problem of armament of
the Saar, it was said, will probably be
overcome by resolution saying that
the Saar is to be annexed to Germany
under provisions of the treaty of
Versailles. Such action would indi-
cate confirmation of article AZ of the
treaty, which prohibits Germany from
constructing any Notifications on the
