bowed and they would not be salts
fed They were shouting, clamoring
for more. The house had gone mad
AT last the girl ran through the
wings and the curtain came down
The orchestra started into the next
piece, but the applause only in
creased. The next number went on,
but it was drowned out.
The show was stopped!
The curtain was rung down again
Goldberg was in white sweat
He was wringing his hands and
moaning.
"Oh, why didn't give her an en-
core? Oh, why was I SO dumb not
TO see this thing ahead of me" He
caught the gypsy by the arm. "Go
on, kid. do anything-talk to them
you're Knockout"
Pushing her on. The curtain up
again. The applause only increasing
until it was a deafening roar, Now
! it was quieting. The girl had ceased
bowling and had stepped to the front.
: AS she started to speak silence set
tied. over the house, but it was a<vi-
brant silence of appreciation no
.'longer a challenge. "<5iI Z
: "I have not words to thank you,
!: my friends. but listen and you can
hear what my heart says to you-"
; into the silence she began to
sing. The words were in Romany
and the audience could not under
. stand them. At first her voice trem-
bled with this gladness that was hers
that now at last the dream had come
true. Then the sound of their clap
ping echoed in her ears and her
voice rose full and strong and swept
through the house in it's clear mel
ody and she caught up these people
on the sweep of her spirit, for this
was a wild gypsy song of triumph
she sang. When the last word had
Mowed from her throat she stood
with arms outstretched, victor, -
For an instant there was silence
and then again the SOUND of their

doubts that he can win a

the defenders Of States rights
and insinuated that they were
inspired by sectional prejudice
against the Southern farmer,
Taking the Supreme Court to
task, he declared in favor Of a
constitutional amendment re-
curing a two-thirdS majority
Of the court to invalidate an
act Of Congress. This change,
he said, would make the court
more a judicial and less a legis.
lative body"
Defense of States rights has
not been confined to the Repub-
lican Senators and Representa-.
tiveS in Congress. Neither has
the criticism Of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration rep
resented by Mr.. Cobb in his at
tack at Baton Rouge, upon the
Constitution and the Supreme
Court.
Senator Byrd Of Virginia Is
only one Of a number Of life
long Democrats in the present
Congress who have defended
States rights and criticized the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration. So have Senator
George Of Georgia and Senator
Bailey Of North Carolina.
It is reasonable to expect.
therefore, that either Mr.. Cobb
or some other walking delegate
Of the AAA will soon invade the
States Of Georgia, North Caro-
lima and Virginia.
All Of these States are repre-.
Sented in Congress by national
legislators who believe in States
rights, who uphold the Consti.
titution and the Supreme Court
and upon occasion have even
dared to criticise the ukases of
Cotton Clerk Cobb and other
bureaucrats in the Department
Of Agriculture.
APPARENT PURPOSE
There is nothing new ard
nothing surprising about pro.
posals to amend the Constitu.
ton. These are advanced at
every session of Congress. Nor
does any novelty attach to the
demand that the Courts Judi.
cial power be limited.
What is surprising is the use
by a member of the Presidents
Cabinet of a clerk in his de-
partment as an organizer of
guerilla warfare waged with the
apparent purpose of stirring UP
the South against the North,
the West against the East, and
of incubating disgust with the
Constitution, distrust of the Su.
preme Court and contempt for
the whole American system OF
government.

Gently pounded on his desk and

The business of matching
legislation in the process of
undergoing congressional con.
SiderGtion seems to haze had
its effect on Representative
Paul KUGle, GctiUe young
Farmer Laborite from Minne-
sofa.
One Of the most popular
young men in the House, Paul
is to be seen at golf matches,
poker tournaments, etc.
But the business of watching
the boys move political rdnS
has affected him. He has the
reputation for being the best
adviser on chow to play the
game" in the House.
Majority Leader Joseph T.
Robinson, Democrat Of 4Arkan-
Sas, in recent debate was talk
ing about the transportation Of
whisky in bulk.
He said that whe1 he crossed
the Canadian border on one
occasion he had been searched
and then shown 12O bottles of
liquor that had been seized
from other people.
Robinson said he didn't have
any when searched.
Apparently Robinson Is un-
like another man who once
was a member of the Senate.
One prohibition day he and
a group Of friends went to
Canada aboard a yacht stopping
on the way to pick up a Gus
toms officer at the last port
Of call in the United States.
In Canada, the Senator took
the customs officer for a little
walk. When they returned the
yacht had been loaded with
fine whiskey and ale.
They then set sail for the
United States.
On the nay home they ,Dere
stopped by a cutter. But the
customs official shouted to the
commander of the revenue ship
that he had been aboard the
yacht on its trip and that he
had seen no liquor put aboard
the ship or any of the men
on it.
The yacht was allowed to
proceed without a search.
After it deposited the Gus
pms officer, the yacht pro
ceeded to its destination and
unlOaded its cargo Of which
the Senator had more than
one quaff.

satisfaction with the ConStitu.
ton and national distrust Of
the Supreme Court.
The fact that this campaign
has early been cvarried into
Louisiana naturally gives rise
to the suspicion that it is the
brain-child of Postmaster Gen.
eral Farley who divides his
time between his duties as head
Of the Post Office Department
and his work as chairman of
the Democratic National Com
mittee.
POLITICAL WARFARE
Mr.. Farley has long availed
himself of every chance to wage
political warfare against Sena-
tor Long Of Louisiana. When
the Supreme Court last May
handed down three unanimous
decisions, two of which declared
invalid recent acts of Congress,
Senator Long went to the de-
tense of the independence and
integrity of the great tribunal.
He publicly returned thanks
both for the Constitution and
the Supreme Court.
Now comes a subordinate Of
Secretary Wallace - Gully A.
Cobb, director of the cotton sec.
ton Of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, with q
prepared speech which he de-
livered before 1900 farmers as
Sembled at the Louisiana State
University at Baton Rouge.
In this speech this minor Off.
cial in the Department of Agri-
culture urged the farmers to de-
mand drastic changes in the
Constitution, in C lu ding an
amendment limiting the power
of the Supreme Court to declare
invalid an act of Congress,
This cotton clerk, speaking
presumably with the approval
of Secretary Wallace, ridiculed

Congress has no authority to
which it may turn to seek
advice on the constitutionality
of bills it is considering.
Drafting clerks who, as the
name implies, draw up bills,
cannot be expected to be def
mite on constitutionality, it is
claimed.
Although even with the con-
stitutiOnal committee the final
test of all legislation would be
the courts, Mcleod believes
that his proposal would prevent
enactment Of some measures
which would later be chal-
lenged.
According to his plan any
member might challenge the
constitutionGlity of bill after
it had been reported By a legis-
lathe committee. The ConStitN-
tionnal Committee Mould then
pass on it..
In view of the indecision on
the constitutionality of much Of
the legislation that has been
adopted or showed at Congress
with orders that it should pass,
there is increasing sentiment
for the Mcleod plan, supporters
maintain.
With all Of this talk floating
around the National Capital
concerning what the Govern
ment has or has not done for
the farmer, there is one out
standing story about a big

ment official.
