that this vast land of 100000
900 people-almost, indeed, one
fifth of the population of the
world-a land whose glamorous
history goes back to the glorious
eastern march of the great
Alexander, whose annals we fol-
low through the incredible ex"
ploits of Robert Give and the
swashbuckling craftsmanship OF
Warren Hastings, whose whole
record, one may conclude, ex-
ceeds in color and picturesque
ness the tale of any other land
on earth, becomes today a unit
of itself.
Not wholly independent Of
British authority yet, certainly
in the first stages Of democracy
which has been the ambition OF
every honest Indian patriot. 1t
is one of the most arresting
political experiments the world
has ever seen.
The great majority Of the
population are Hindus, Brah-
mans and Buddhist, and wor-
shippers of many weird gods. The
minority are Mohammedans,
fiercely fantastic in their devo-

JEALOUS RACES
Two hostile and jealous races

bitterness past all reSolvement.
That is one element OF the

which elevates one group Of
mankind to the heights and

two centuries. That they &C.

Reds Renew Attack
Bu James T. Williams. Jr.

Ten years ago the Constitu-
ton and the Supreme Court
were the target for an attack
by the Radicals not unlike that
which the Radicals Of today
are provoking.
Now, as then, it Is contended
by the Reds, Pinks and Fellows
of politics that the Constitution
was out of date and that the
Supreme Court was guilty of
usurping powers not granted it
under the Constitution.
Now, as than, there is heard a
demand from the Radicals for
the setting up of a despotism in
ongreSS-a substitution of
some sort of European for the
American system Of govern.
ment.
Then the Radicals were at
tempting to capitalize the un-
rest which followed the war.
Now the Radicals are attempt
ing to capitalize the bitter
fruits of the depression and in
cite the unemployed and other
victims of hard times to turn
against the government of the
Constitution.
Now as then, the Radicals
attempt to popularize their in
Sidious scheme by insisting that
the power to declare an act
of Congress unconstitutional
is a usurpation of power by the
courts and was not given to the
Court when the Constitution
was adopted, one hundred and
ninety eight years ago next
week.
One of the real progressive
leaders of his day-he was a
leader during the life and times
of Theodore Roosevelt and
during the subsequent fight
against the League of Nations
was the late Albert j. Beveridge,
United States Senator from the
State of Indiana, who is best re-
membered today for his brilliant
biography of John Marshall
the great Chief Justice Of the
United States.
UPHOLDS COURT
Senator Beveridge, writing on
Common Sense and the ConSti-
tution." when the Radicals of
ten years ago attacked the
American system Of Govern
ment, then said:
"The peoples fundamental
law (the ConstitutiOn) gives the
Supreme Court of the United
States the exclusive power,
and makes it the particular duty
of that court to be the final
arbiter in conflicts between
mere temporal legislation and
the peoples permanent COnsti-
tuition.
Indeed it is not too much to
say that this power of judicial
view is the most important
function of the nations high

(the eminent American his
torian) says, it is absolutely in
dispensable that the Court

deep at heart many of political
enemies will not sorrow.
In the House cloak rooms, no
Senator was as much discussed
as Long.
His name was constantly on
the tongues of the members of
the lower branch of Congress.
In the Senate it was the same.
He had attacked almost every
one there in the Upper House.
One man Who escaped the
Scathing tongue 1DGS the neD
Senator Theodore G. Bilbo OF
Mississippi, the man 1Dho came
to the Senate With the threat
that he would "out-talk Long"
but never opened his mouth.
Bilbo refrained from crossing
swords, but it was equally true
that the Senator from Louisiana
did not bait the fiery Bilbo.
1t was not that BilbO was a
match for Long. But the
Louisianan knew that the sandy
haired Senator from Mississippi
would have been a bad enemy.
BiIbo had no comment to
make when Long was shot.
Senator Joseph T. Robinson,
majority leader, waS no tr1end
of the slain Senator, as all
knew. The conserUative Sena-
tor Carter Glass OF Virginia
1Drithed at the mention OF
Huey'S name.
Others condemned publicly
and privately, but most of those
who criticized feared the man
who rose to amazing power be-
cause of his brilliance and abll-
ity to appeal to the public.
The Washington times., 1935-09-11

Few who knew him doubted
his brilliance.
They knew that he could not
have achieved the heights he at
tained without the guiding light
of near-genius.
But they considered that the
light had been miSguiding in his
case.
Condemnation Of the shoot
ing of LouiSiana's dictator is
louder now that similar con-
demnations at almost every elec-
ton time when in certain States
men are almost certain to lose
their lives because of political
animosity.
In mountains Of Kentucky
men die at most elections.
ShoOtings occur in Chicago, New
York and other large cities. But
usually the dead men are lesser
lights.
The long standing political
feud of Alexander Hamilton and
Aaron Burr that climaXed in the
Bladensburg duel created no
greater comment than this mod
ern-day settlement of a differ
ence in politics.
The quarreZS, fights and
deaths over politics Would fill
pages of American history.
They are not 1ueD.
The general question today
is what will become Of the Long
political machine of Louisiana.
The consensus Is that it will
crumble.
Huey was careful not to let
any one man assume such a
prominent position that he
might become a successor to
the "Kingfish.'
He Uon his place by popular
appeal and the control he erer'
ciSed oDer his puppets.
Political obSerUerS agree that
the puppets can not be er-
pected to assume the dominant
position their master held.
There is another thought in
the minds of many concerning
tho 6aoth of Tnnp
It demonstrates to a great
number of persons, they say,
that the protection Of body
guards means little when the
assassin plans to kill.
They point out that Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson travelled often without
the protection Of the Secret
Service and that other great
men have not considered an
armed guard of material aid.
Further, they contend the
protecting arm of the Secret
Service DouId not be a bul10arE
if a President 1DGS marked.
Their view is that in this day
of high-powered arms public
men are always vulnerable de-
spite the fact they may be sur
rounded by the best marksmen.
In defense of their theory
they point to the death Of this
man from Louisiana who fOs-
tered the slogan, every Man

Huey Long Dead

The death of the powerful Senator Huey p Long,
victim of cowardy assassination is important far from
New Orleans important in every corner of the United
States where Senator Longs was known, his po-
litical theories discussed.
His sudden disappearance from his field of intense
political activity emphasizes the power of DEATH that
cuts short our efforts and planning
The past and the dead are too soon forgotten; men
look always questioning to the future millions ask
today:
WHAT EFFECT WILL SENATOR LONGS
DEATH HAVE ON THE ELECTION OF 1886?
Huey Long bitterly opposed to the policies and
the reelection of President Roosevelt. Now over
night, he disappears from the scene.
I He had said in talks to reporters and senatorial
speeches, that he would devote all his energies and
influence in 1886 to fighting President Roosevelt.
Circumstances would decide whether he would make
his fight against the Presidents administration by
supporting Republican candidate, if that candidate
suited him, or by running for President himself
independent Democratic ticket. Death changes all
those plans to eternal inaction.
In his book soon to be published, my First Days
in the White House," Senator Long assigned an i'm
portant position in his administration almost the most
Important that of Director of the Budget with Cabinet
rank to former Governor Alfred E. Smith.
In his book with the sense of humor that never
failed him. Huey Long publishes caricature of him

bullet decided that he should never see it printed It
must be admitted of Huey Long that at least he made
men THINK.
Whether you believe that his thought led in the
right the wrong direction you realize that any stim
ulation of thought based sincere belief not per-
sonal selfishness, is desirable.
Of all mental conditions, short of frenzy, STAG
NATION is the worst. Mental stagnation means the
death Of progress.
Deeply tragic is this passing Of powerful figure
in American life. Huey Long possessed to an extraor
dinary degree that personality called by Goethe the
