Resolved, that throughout Amer
lean history the only danger to our
Constitution came from and still
comes from the judiciary branch Of
government which has constantly
usurped its authority"
Offering to take the affirmative of
that question, Governor Olson has is
sued challenge to debate John w.
Davis, former Democratic candidate
for president, corporation counsel, and
big business spokesman, or any
other nationally known lawyer.
Such a debate would be of inestim-
able value, especially at this time
when the conservatives are shouting
save the Constitution" for their
next campaign slogan. One wonders
just from whom or against whom the
Constitution is to be saved. The Gov
ernor proposes to prove that the real
danger of destruction of the Constitu-
tion comes from the judiciary. The
judiciary, he says, has done more in
jury to the Constitution than the ex-
ecutive and the administrative
branches of the government and all
outside influences combined. He main
tains that the right of the courts to
declare laws passed by Congress UNI
constitutional is a usurpation of pow
err. In many other respects, he main
tains the rights and liberties guaran-
teed the people by the Constitution
have been abridged through the usurp-
alton of the judiciary.
1t is time that the hypocrisy of the
save the Constitution" proponents be
exposed. Holders of special privilege
have used the Constitution as a means
of enslaving the people. while in fact

said that the Holiday group would
drop the policy of blocking mortgage
sales in general. The actual motive
behind the sale demonstrations he
said, was to dramatic and publiciZe
the plight of the farmers. This was
the only method open to the farmers.
In 1886, however, he said, an educa-
tiOnal program would be carried ON
by the movement wherein the neces-
sity of coordination of Minnesota
5000 individual cooperatives would be
taught. This will be done independ-
ent of any individual cooperative, Mr..
Bosch said.
The most heartening news emitting
from the capitol for long time is
the report of the division of employ
ment of the Industrial commission
which stated that there was a de-
crease of 5000 persons seeking en-
plOyment at the state employment
service bureau in September. The
number looking for jobs that month
was 56,O4O, as compared with 62,1OO
in August. During the month ABB
persons were placed in jobs. Does all
this point to brighter times?

During prohibition days, operators
of stills became so expert and in
stalled such excellent equipment that
the quality of their product nearly
approached some legal WHISTLES.
Now, however, David r. Arundel, state
liquor control commissioner, reports
that the quality of moonshine and
alcohol has dropped to the lowest lev
els. Analyses by the control office
chemist has revealed pollution of ev-
cry nature in confiscated moonshine.
Each month the quality grows worse.
This, Mr.. Arundel believes, is evil
dence that the big stills have disap-
peared and that the few that remain
are due for an early demise, if for
no other reason than the inferiority
of the liquor they produce.
