WHAT power has the SUI
w preme Court to repeal aetS
Of Congress?
The court neither repeats nor We
toes any act Of Congress.
1t is as if you appoint John Doe
your agent with certain limitations to
sell certain piece Of your property.
If he acts within the limitations, the
sale is valid. But if he exceeds the
limitations, you seek the courts pro.
lection. If it so finds, the court de.
clares there is no sale because Doe,
your agent, exceeded his authority.
Similarly, our Constitution is our
contract in which eve the people"
make Congress our agent with certain
specified powers. If in some act Con
gress exceeds its powers, citizen may
seek the courts protection, and if the
court finds Congress acted beyond its
authority, it so declares.
The Supreme Court neither vetoes
nor repeats the act. 1t merely protects
citizens against unauthorized action BY
their agent. by declaring such action
unconstitutional"

NOVEL PICTURE
WINS ART
AWARD
BY THE AMATEUR SECTION
EDITOR

Here's another one!
Another one of the amateur sec
tions Of The Washington Times is
again off the press, and, If we
may be so bold, it really is some
thing.
The one thing that we. are par
ticularly pleased about is the way
you amateurs have responded to
our insistence on the necessity for
writing news stories.
You've shown your ingenuity,
too. There are, for instance. the
interview with Sonora Najera on
Pan-American solidarity, the story
about Braddock Rock, and many
others that demonstrate that our
amateurs are wide-awake news
paper reporters.
We have an innovation for the
amateur section this week. The
Nnoleum cut of President Roose-
welt is the first time we ever have
had anything of the kind.
The cartoon strips are always
well received by the editor. And
photographs, don't forget photo
graphs. We can always use them
If they are good. The one we are
using this week, for example, is the
result of the first effort of our con.
tributor to make picture at
night, and we think it's pretty
good.
Don't forget, contributors. The
deadline is Wednesday and all
copy must be typed and double.
spaced. And most important of all,
keep your pieces short. You can
say it in a few words much more
effectively than if you use a lot
Of words.

When Pan-American

it is largely responsible
for the friendly relations
that have marked the
intercourse of American
countries. He recently
told the writer:
"The Union has
shown itself to be very

and frien d ship in

between a team selected
from the youth of his
country and our local

champions. This is a
definite example of the

United States, he ex-
planned.
| Asked if these events
would be repeated by
Mexico, he replied:
at is probable that
this will be repeated.

MT. Smith, in his speech insisted the New Deal had violated the Demo- cratic platform of 1892, and called upon the party to "re-establish the principles it embraced He reviewed the platform blanks in his conten- ton which intended to show the purpose had not been realized.
 How can you balance your bud- get if you insist on spending more money than you take in?" he asked Roosevelt's spending policy has not paid dividends, the speaker declared.
 1000 Hear Address
 MT Smith spoke before 2,000 per- sons at the dinner of the Liberty League organization which has been a caustic critic of many Rooseveltian policies. He said he spoke as Dem- ocrat and that it 'pained him" to speak against a Democratic admin istration, but that he put patriotism before party.
 The RooseveiLIan policies, the former New York Governor said, had not solved either the farm or unem- ployment probl em S. He warned against the dangers of class war and bureaucratic suppression of American liberties" as alleged dan gers of the New Deal. At one point, he accused the Roosevelt admins tration with substituting socialism for Democracy, adding, That is why the Supreme Court has been working overtime, throwing the alphabet out the window, three letters at time
 Claims Platform Voided
 The platform adopted at Chicago. except for regulation of the stocl. exchange and repeal of prohibition, has been thrown in the waste bas- ket," Smith declared.
 The speaker said the Democratic convention in Philadelphia probably would be called upon to endorse the New Deal in terms of Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland, but he ridi- culed the idea, indicating he him. self probably would take a walk" during the Presidential campaign
 His jaw set, MT. Smith sounded like a warrior, but not the happy one he has so often been called. He be- spoke himself as distressed and distrustful."

"SkOlU Ne" Says Youth
to Tracy Judge.

Tracy-Old Man Weather took a new
role when he stepped in as defense at
torney to win an uphill fight for the
acquittal of a Westbrook youth. 1t
was like this. The young son of Will
liam Anderson was tagged" when he
parked his car in the driveway of the
Tracy fire hall. In the court the youth
maintained the lane was not marked
the judge claimed otherwise, and the
judge won, imposing fine. Reluctant
ly, the defendant fished a five spot
from his pocket and handed it over,
receiving fifty cents back. Still in the
dark regarding the signs the judge re-
ferred to, the defendant left deter
mined to see the evidence. Unable to
find the discriminating signs, the youth
returned to request the judge to "shoW
him" Old Man Weather had played
a trick on the judge, having obliterated
all signs with a blanket of snow.
Smilingly, the city magistrate refunded
the money.

quarter of the globe strange and often
beautiful products of mans skill and
ingenuity all down the ages. Many Of
these belong TO dead civilizations, but
large numbers illustrate the customs
and fetishes of savage races. Recent
acquisitions of the latter kind are two
stone slabs from the Ngalia and Lor-
itZa tribes of central Australia, usual
ly reckOned the least advanced of the
human species. These slabs are called
Churinga, and are believed to contain

Harold Titus, whose fast-mOving
serial story, ''Flame in the Forest" APP
pears serially in this newspaper, was
born in Traverse City, Michigan, at
the end of the white pine era, and he
still lives there in home perched on
a hill overlooking Grand Traverse Bay.
Writing has been his vocation for
twenty years. All of his books have
been outdoor yarns, and most of his
several hundred short stories as well.
Since 1927 he has served as a member
of Michigan's Conservation Commits
sion, which keeps him in the closest
possible touch with forest, fish and
game affairs. His particular activity
is in forest fire control and refOresta-
ton. In 1881 the University of Michi-
gan gave him an honorary Master Of
Arts degree in recognition of the influ-
ence of his novel ''Timber!" on the re-
forestation movement and of his work
for conservation.
The reviewer of the Boston Globe
said of "Flame in the Forest: This
new novel is roaring story of adven-
ture in the woodlands" And that's
just what it is. You'll enjoy every
chapter. Don't forget to follow 1t as
it unfolds from week to week in the
columns of this newspaper.
