LARGE CROWD
HEAR SPEAKERS
Congressman Robert A. Greene
of Florida, is Democratic
Rally Speaker.

A rousing address in the interest of
President Franklin Roosevelt and the
national Democratic ticket was de :
livered here at the final Democratic

gresham Robert A. Greene Of Florida,
in which he spoke of the benefits de-
rived by the people since the Demo-
cratic administration took charge of
affairs in this country.
The large audience were unanimously
of the opinion that Congressman Greene
was one of the best speakers to appear
in this city during the campaign. He
was sent out by the National Democratic
committee and has been making ad-
dresses in behalf of the party in several
states of the Union.
National Committeeman John p
Erickson of Duluth was scheduled to
appear here on that evening along with
Gerald Derry Barron of Cloquet
Owing to the appearance in Duluth OF

gresham Greene, Mr.. Harri asserted his
loyalty to the party, Notwithstanding
the DETECTION of the wing of which he
is a member, to the Farmer-Labor party
in Minnesota by stating that were
to follow in the lead of my friend, John
E. Regain, would be lining up with tbs
enemies of our national administration.

Ernest Lundeen as senator and Elmer
Benson as governor.

AUXY PROGRAM
MEANS MUCH
Benefits for Disabled Veterans
and Americanism Education
Proposed for 1887.

Disabled World War veterans through
out the country will have the 100000
women of the Aemrican Legion Auxi-
iliary working actively in their behalf
again next year, Mrs. Marie Buckley,
rehabilitation chairman of the Frank
Lozar Post, Auxiliary unit, stated today.
Rehabilitation was made major ac-
tivity for 1887 by the recent national
convention in Cleveland and will occupy
much of the time and energy of Aux
iliary workers during the year.
Christmas gifts from the Auxiliary
will go to every veteran forced to spend
Christmas in a hospital, and the fam
lilies of hospitalized men left in need at
home will receive Auxiliary aid. Gov
eminent hospitals will be visited regu-
larry and everything within the power
of the organization done for the COM
fort and happiness of the disabled vet
Grams. Hundreds will be given employ
ment making peoples for the Auxiliary'S
memorial poppy sale. Aid will be con-
tinued for the disabled men after they
leave the hospitals and are endeavoring
to reestablish themselves in life.
| The Auxiliary will support the Lee
gion's requests for legislation to bring
the widows and fatherless children of
World War veterans under government
protection and for needed changes in
laws governing the care and compensa-
ton of veterans.
Continuous effort to teach construc-
tive AmericaniSm also will be made by
the American Legion Auxiliary during
the coming year, Mrs. Gustava Gian-
otti, chairman of the Americanism COM
mittee of the local unit has announced
The recent national convention made
Americanism one of the major activi-
ties of the Auxiliary for next year
adopting resolution which stated:
"a great and CONTINUOUS effort shall
be made to teach constructive Ameri-
canism on the principle that this is the
best weapon with which to attack radi-
calism. Such effort should be directed
especially at school children and the
members of our own organization, the
former because they are at an age wher
permanent ideals may best be instilled
the latter because we cannot hope tt
bring others to a belief until we our
selves hold it u2swervingly."
The convention also posed resolu-
ton urging full cooperation by all AUX.
iliary units in the observance of the
Sesquicentennial of the adoption of thu
Constitution next year.

The Bill of Rights

The first ten amendments to the
United States Constitution were pro-

are usually regarded as the bill OF

specific title. The ninth and tenth
amendments are of different char
acter than the first eight, which deal
with the rights of the Individual.

ELY POLLS

Evening star., 1936-03-03

Of the Supreme Court. It lacks one
single power Of Affirmative enslave-
ment. It cannot take one single step
toward oligarchy. But you can make
any sort Of monster, suited to the
prevailing appetite Of the ruling pas
sion, out Of supreme Congress which
is above all things and all men. Again
I quote the Federalist Papers:
ITO accumulate in a single body all
the most important prerogatives Of
sovereignty Is to entail upon our pos
terity one of the most execrable forms
Of government that human infatua-
ton ever contrived."
Proposals to escape the existing ju-
risdiction of the Supreme Court peri
odically take differing forms. Some
times it is urged that Congress be
freed entirely from restraint. Some
times it is urged that more than a
majority Of the court be required to
stop a congressional invasion Of the
Constitution-perhaps that a unani-
nous court be required. These latter
propositions differ only in the matter
Of degree. The same infirmity. from
the peoples viewpoint, attaches pro-
portionately to all. For example, If a
unanimous court be demanded, one
justice out of nine could tife the
voice of the Constitution. Thus one
ninth of the court would outweigh
eight-ninths. All Of these schemes
would increase the presumptions in
favor of Congress and relatively de-
crease them in favor of the court.
This layman believes that the di-
rection, even more than the length.
of such proposed steps is subversive to
the American system. The extent to
which the judiciary can permanently
usurp legislative power is utterly lin
ited-because the people can amend
their Constitution If, as and when
they please, and the Congress can
impeach the court If it misbehaves.
Furthermore, the court has no power
to enforce its decisions save the power
of loyal and enlightened public
opinion. 1t commands neither the
arms nor the purse Of the Nation.
But the extent to which the Legisla-
ture and the Executive can usurp
judicial power, in the absence Of these
American checks and balances, Is
wholly without any limits whatso-
ever. They command every imple-
ment of tyranny. Therefore, though
some may think that the former evil
exists in some degree, the people will

For W. 81.

Washington and Lee, unless 1t
changes it's mind in the last min
ute, will start seven letter men
and four sophomores against Mary
land in the Thanksgiving Day
game in the Baltimore Stadium.
Outstanding of the washington
and Lee veterans are Capt. Duane
Berry. one of the South'S best
guards; Bill Rogers, wide-rang-
ing center and accurate snapper
back; Frank Jones, a massive eno'
and Preston Moore and Wilton
Sample. both all-around backs
with last named scaling 200
pounds.
Don Dunlap, who used to play
football for Central High OF
Washington, appears to be the
Generals ace sophomore. He
made the team from the outset
of his first varsity year and
evidently has proved a smart
general as he has been calling
the signals consistently.
Washington and Lee, ike
Maryland, has a small squad for
big university team, but the Gen
erals have the advantage over
the Terps in that they have not
played since defeating William
and Mary on November IA while
Maryland, instead of any mten.
Sive preparing, will have to spend
most of its time recuperatlng
from the grueling clash with
Georgetown at College Park last
Saturday.
Maryland had no real casuals
in the battle with Hoyas but in
such a hard-fought game, a lot is
taken out of the players, espe-
cially those like the Is Terps
who have carried the burden in
eight major games in a row.
With a non-scouting agreement
existing between the schools, the
way is open for each to spring
some tricky stuff.
