NEED CORN FIELD LAWYERS

President Roosevelt is lawyer. The majority
of the senators and the representatives IN congress
are LAWYERS Nearly all the Democratic majority
leaders, Robinson, Harrison, Wagner, Bankhead'
Byrnes, Garner, Byrns, are lawyers The president
has a legal adviser, Attorney General Cummings.
Four or five other members of the presidents CAB
met, Messrs. Hull, Roper, Swanson, Ickes, Cum
mings among them, lawyers. Probably hVe
thousand lawyers besides these are employed by
the administration in Washington, and Professor
Frankfurter in Boston can always be reached on
the telephone. What school gave them thel:
LII. BIS?
LAWYERS if they know any law at all, know that
an act of congress must conform to the constltu-
tion So far these Roosevelt administration law
vers have scarcely proved themselves able to pass
anv law of first Importance that can endure the
test of the courts examination.
Mr. Roosevelt and his associates may De cleVeS
nolitcians but what sort of lawyers are they! Inc
American people as their clients do not seem TO
be getting much for their fees.
We believe that President Roosevelt might nave
found among 1900 members of the South caro-
lima bar one hundred members who could have
saved his administration from its legal mistakes
Indeed, there are ten thousand corn held law

in the grip of politicians and
public officials who are on close
partnership with crime and vice,
and who get their vile share of
the earnings of gangsters end
racketeers, illegal lotteries, gamb-
ling establishments, speakeasies,
dives, and even the sorry wages
Of prostitutes. Directly and indi-
rectly they practise blackmail and
eXtortion; through their gangster
allies they murder persons who
are too much in their way, or
who trouble them too much; and
they can not be broght to justice
in those localities where they con-
troll law enforcement agencies
the police, the prosecuting attor-
neys, the jury-selectinG machin-
cry, and the judges. And business
and professional interests either
play along with them, or Law off
them, because it is the money
making way, or the easiest way.
But are we shocked enough to
remedy these diabolical cOndi-
tons that disgrace every Ameri-
can?
The churches alone could clean
out those evil practises if they
would attack this enormous iGi-
guilty with militant, smashing
blows-but the job calls for sac
rifice, for courage, for manliness
and womanliness; it calls for a
united, forceful, permanent stand
against those powers of darkness
which at the present time so con-
troll this nation that nobody
life, nobody's property is safe.
There is not a worse state in the
remote bandit-infested provinces
of China.
The churches have shirked their
duty; they have failed their God:
and because they have shirked
and failed, they are steadily los

The idea is embodied in a bill

THE COURTS AAA DECISION WILL
HELP

The Supreme Courts AAA decision,
whatever else it may have done, certainly
filed the newspapers with comment and
filled the air with audible views, opinions
and mere words. Millions have been heard
in comment on the decision and there are
about as many opinions as there have
been newspapers and individuals under
taking to interpret the decision, to approve
or condemn it, or project into the discus
sion prophecies as to the results to be ex-
pected on account of it.
However, the country remains intact
and large majority of its citizens are go
ing about their daily business, most OF
them lin this section, at least) appearing
to be reasonably we'll satisfied in the belief
that constitutional government has not per-
ished in the United States and we are to
continue to have in this Republic a govern
ment of laws and not one controlled by die
tators or based on the whims or notions OF
individuals or classes or minorities OF the
voters.
The country is calm, and probably will
continue so, although it probably is head
ed back beyond horse and buggy days to
o&-cart days, according to the estimates OF
New Dealers.
The cohntry will know in a few weeks
or months definitely about the result Of
the upsetting of the chief cornerstone OF
the New Deals Socialistic program; and
we are confident that the spirit of reassur-
ance and encouragement, as we'll as the
concrete improvement in general condl-
lions which will follow the action OF the
Supreme Court will go far toward swing
ing the country back to that normal Pc
sition which it has been seeking during the
depression"
The country has not reached the end OF
it's troubles-not by any means-ln tact'
il Just at the beginning of it's hardest ex-
periences, because payday looms IN the
Immediate future and payday is one OF
the darkest and most fearsome days that
can come in the history of country.
However, if and when the country has
the assurance that the Socialist program OF
folly has been thrown. overheard for good
and a majority of the people of the couu-
tty have definitely placed their disappro-
val on national experimentation with the
lives and social and economic interests OF
more than hundred and twenty million
people, the United States will face real
it so disagreeable and fearful as payday
with something of the old Fashioned Amer
iean spirit and determination.
THE sustained recovery Of the country
dates from the Supreme Courts MIA de-
cision. The country began to revive and
the Improvement was maintained for the
first time during the depression after the
country developed reaction to that deeI-
sion. The AAA decision is certainly as I'M
portant and far-reaching as the NRA deel-
sion and if the good results are IN proper
tion, the country will travel far on the ROAD
to recovery this year. In addition there is
the certainty that the high court will elm
mate several other obnoxious, oppressive
and destructive Socialist measures this
wear. That ought to help, too. ..
