"I felt bad" said Hughes. He
couldn't take it-he couldn't stand
prosperity. And the old man de-
served his happiness"
Three days ago, Greges' arrogance
became psychopathic. He would race
out into the street and push pedeS-
trians about. Thursday he Knocked

Before the presentation of the

installed a new convertible scenery
set. capable of 20 changes of scenes,
and costing $3.50.
Student body funds will finance the
purchase of this new equipment.
One of the most convenient things
about this set is the fact that it
can be set up in a few minutes and
changed in as short a time. All parts
of the set may be kept back-Stage
in a cabinet, on which is a chart
showing floor plans for each scene
and giving directions for the con-
struction of possible scenes. Not
only will this facilitate the presen-
tation of the annual class plays, but
il will also make possible the pre-
sentation of short skits in assem-
blies. Some changes of scenes can
be accomplished merely by change
of lighting.

Not even the chance of liv- ing almost two centuries would tenn pt most of us to a latter-day Colum bus voyage.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
IN NEW YORK ALSO

President William L. Green Of the american
Federation of Labor has protested to Secretary
Ickes the purchase of German steel for the Dig
Triboroush bridge in New York.
We assume this means that the New YORK pqqr
chase, which was recently reported as having oeen
held I'D because of protests at use OF German-naoe
stool for the port project at Morehead City, has
come through ....... =,
The reason for German steel being cheaper than
American is quite simple. 1t is the same reason
which makes the great majority of articles manu-
featured in foreign countries cheaper than the
same or similar articles made in this country. For
eign workers are paid less.
People sometimes talk about the tariff or import
tax barriers raised against foreign imports as If
thew were solely for the benefit of stockholders Of
American corporations. Actually according to the
figures which give the facts of workers income be-
ing much more than stockholders, the tariffs are
much more to the advantage of the mill and factory
worker than to the benefit of the person having
some share in ownership of the factory or mill

on all laws, state and national, b.
fore they become effective, there
would be no confusion about the
constitutionality Of the laws.
Then people would not be COM
PEELED to obey, for a time, laws
that are unconstitutional. People
would have more respect for laws,
they would try harder to under
stand and appreciate law, and
they would cooperate better in
the enforcement of law. There
would be less crime. and hence
our court costs would be less, and
in many cases taxes would be
lower. AS result, ] believe, bet
ter men would be elected TO Of
flee, especially to the legislature
and congress, and then laws would
be enacted for the benefit OF all
the people, not for Just q few.
The supreme court is our guar
antee Of constitutional govern
ment and that our republic will
survive. To curtail the power o.
the supreme court is TO make less
secure our republic. To do away
with the supreme court Of the Uni
ted States is to destroy our pres
ent form of government and place
our ship OF state adrift upon I'M
charted and. uncertain scas-per-
haps the dangerous seas OF fascism
or bolshevism. God save us from
this danger!
Let us keep our folm OF govern
ment, it's constitution and supreme
court. All necessary changes can
safely be made as provided IN the
constitution. The supreme court,
those nine men robed in black.
means more to the preservation Of
this nation than any other leo
men that can he found anywhere.
They are tho clamp that holds to-
gether. They are the scntinels -
our liberty. They are the jewels
Of our nation.
But what about the millions Of
dollars now being .pent 10 get
those unconstitutional laws to the

PRIVATE VERSUS PUBLIC CREDIT

Private vs. public credit-that is the theme-song
of the American Bankers Association holding their
annual fest in New Orleans.
Key-bankers of the country are there to accuse
and to critcise, even, it appears, to malign.
They are giving the present national administra-
ton heavy thunder for its usurpations and occu-
pancy of their field
They would wish that the government would put
an end to its business of competing with them a
natural, reasonable request.
On the other hand, one of their own number,
Jesse Jones, head of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, turns up to say that what they are
demanding is entirely within reason except that he
wants them to do bit of recollecting.
| And that's the point-the federal government
has no business in the banking and credit business
so long as these affairs are properly handled by
private agencies.
Time was when these latter said they could not
meet the issue-has the moment now come when
they can handle the problem, their own problel, in
a manner that will fit the requirements?
| The answer is for them to make not the govern.
