THE SUPREME COURT


By ]. Z. JONES
The decision OF the Supreme Court
in holding the Quincy Coal Act un-
constitutional is far-reaching IN
denying the right Of the Federal
Government to continue to perform
surgical operations to cure indus
try's social and economic ailments.
In spite Of the MIRA, AAA, and
"hOt oil" decisions President ROose-
welt demanded the passage Of the
Guffey Act. He admitted that its
constitutionality was questionable
since he said one might ask 1000
lawyers about It and get a Thousand
different opinions. BY the time Con-
gIess acted about 999 Of the thous-
and lawyers were saying that the
measure was unconstitutional In
view Of the decision Just rendered
It is pertinent to suggest that menu
bers Of both branches Of Congress
might be asked to explain the pub
lie, including their constituents.
why they have continued TO defy the
Supreme Court.
When Thomas Jefferson introduce
ed the first New Deal into American
politics he found that the Supreme
Court didn't accept all Of his plans,
and he dropped a peg in history by
partisan criticism of Chief Justice
John Marshall for the way the Con-
stitutiOn was being interpreted.
The Supreme Court from Marshall
to Hughes has been the bulwark OF
safety for the American people
even In times Of recorded history
when Presidents and Congresses
have been more partisan than SEN
sible.
When the MIRA was declared I'M
constitutional the President wise
cracked about horse and buggy
DAYS" Yet, most lawyers. except the
ones who voted for it in Congress
thought that the measure was un-
constitutional when it was passed.
On Capitol Hill the alibi was used
that MIRA was an emergency plan
that would be dropped before the

Supreme Court had a chance to
scrap it. We all remember how
hard it was for the fellow who mad
bull by the tail to let go.
At present there is a weIl-balanc-
ed Court with a healthy divergence
Of opinion among its members. This
is an element of strengthened Of
weakness as some persons try to
believe. In this same connection
Chief Justice Hughes recently said
that Gin the midst Of controversies

expect unanimity of opinion upon

ship is a record Of disagreements,
and when we deal with questions
relating to principles Of law and
their application. we do not sudden
ly rise to a stratosphere of icy GER
tainty."
The fear is frequently expressed
that if President Roosevelt is given
the opportunity to change the COM
plexion of the Supreme Court that
he may fill the vacancies with men
who would destroy the traditional
liberties of the American people.

member of the Senate a few days
ago that is the most serious thing
confronting the country today"

HOW'RE YOU BETTING?

THOSE loose old days, before
L. betting was considered illegal
brought considerable wagering or
the results of presidential cam
paigns-the amounts at stake fre.
quently totalling millions.
1t was back in that era, 1903 tc
be specific. that brokers making
book on the election actually record
ed 10000 to l against the chances
of one of the candidates. The long
shot entry was Eugene V. Debs,
perennial Socialist candidate.
That same campaign demonStrat-
ed thai the professional odds-layers
knew considerable about their bust
ness. In September, 1908, Taft was
the 2 go l favorite over Bryan;
by October the odds heightened to
to l and on election day Taft 5
chances were rateo at to /, with
few takers.
Anyone who believes the pro-
fessional wagerers are infallible
should thumb back the record to
1916 when it is estimated from five
to ten million dollars changed
hands on the result.
Wilson and Hughes were the
leading contenders, with Wilson on
the inside TRACK because he was
up for reelection. In September,
1916, the financial district in New
York was betting to l on Hughes.
In October the odds were 10 to
7 and even money was placed the
day of election.
Closeness of the contest, in doubt
for days until California returns
moved into the Wilson column
perhaps was excuse for the error
in judgment by the financiers
They may be wrong again in
1896 but perhaps it would be well
for reauerS TO confine themselves
to freak bets, if any at all are
made. Perhaps the most ingenious
of these occurred in that same 1916
election.
A man, apparently three sheets
in the wind, strolled into a COM
missioner office, bet SIS he could
name 20 states Wilson would car
ry. He then bet $40 he could name
ten additional states. Then he Of
fered 500 he could name still an
other 10 states.
And now" he announced
heres $50 says 1 can name eight
more states for Wilson"
When the rush to take him sub
sided, the bcttor, miraculously So
bered. named his states. The
pitch" of his game was that he
reserved eight States of the solid

League Council to Deal
With Spanish War

CPAIN'S government appealed to
~ the council of the League of
Nations to deal with the menace to
peace and good will among ma
tions" allegedly created by Italo-
German recognition of the fascist
rebel junta. Secretary ]. A. c. Ave-
mol thereupon convoked tie council,
though at this writing the date for
the meeting is unsettled. 1t was be-
lieved Italy would refuse to attend
the session; Germany is no longer
member of the league. French
statesmen didn't approve the Span
lsh action, feeling that it compli-
Gated an already serious situation
and could do no good.
Excitement over the torpedo at
tack on a loyal Spanish cruiser by
submarine which the Madrid gov
ernment more than hinted was
German vessel was allayed by the
report that the undersea boat was
Spanish submarine that had gone
over to the rebel side.
Madrid was being continually
hammered by rebel shells and
bombs, and there was intense fight
ing daily in University City, the
northwest section of the capital,
where the insurgents had penetrat-
ed. The American embassy was
closed on orders from Washington
and Eric c. Wendelin, charge daft
faires, gave protection to those
Americans who wished to go to Va
lencia to board United States war;
ship. The German and Italian en-
baSsies, abandoned by their staffs,
were seized and sealed by the de-
fense junta and a number of Fas-
cist refugees were arrested in the
former. Berlin scoffed at this ac-
tion but Rome called it banditry.

The Power of Life

A mans purpose in life should be
like a river, which was born of d
thousand little rills in the noun
tains; and when at last it h a S
reached its manhood in the plain.
though, if you watch it, you shall
see little eddies that seem as if
they had changed their minds, and
were going back again to the noun
tains, yet all its mighty current
flows, changeless, to the sea. If
you build a dam across it, in a
few hours it will go over it with
a voice of victory. If tides check
it at its mouth, it is only that when
they ebb it can sweep on again to
the ocean. So goes the Amazon or
Orinoco across a COntinent-never
losing its way or changing its direc-
ton for the thousand streams that
fall into it on the right hand and
on the left, but only using them to
increase its force, and bearing them
onward in its restless channel.

planned to give him an elaborate
reception, but it was toned down
somewhat at his request. President
Justo, who already had greeted the
distinguished guest by wireless, met
him at the dock and accompanied
him to the American embassy. Then
Mr.. Roosevelt, Secretary of State
Hull and members of the American
delegation to the peace conference
made formal call at the govern
ment house.
Next day, after a ride about the
city, President Roosevelt attended
the extraordinary session in the leg
islative palace to open the Pan
American peace conference which
he initiated. A formal dinner for
him at the government house and
a reception for all conference del
egates followed. The event of the
third day was a luncheon at the
American embassy in honor of
President and Mrs. Justo. Then
Mr.. Roosevelt embarked and started
on the return trip, with brief stop
scheduled for Montevideo, capital
of Uruguay.
On his way south President
Roosevelt stopped a few hours in
Rio de Janeiro, where half a mil
lion citizens turned out in the rain
to give him an enthusiastic well
come. President Vargas showed
him the magnificent Brazilian cap
ital, and he addressed an extraor-
binary session of the parliament
with an eloquent plea to all peo-
piles of the western continents to
keep out of war and settle their
problems with good will and under
standing.

Depew was president of a rail

he turned thumbs-doWn on Allison.
Subsequent events proved that if
Depew had not baked, the CON

elected President in place of Har-

The ironical part of this personal
catastrophe is that Allison'S stature
