over the boats very carefully
before committing myself to any
of the runners that try to sign up

SUPREME COURT
Restriction Of Tribunals

and Con.

Times Special
BALTIMORE, March 5. - Rep
John W. Boehne Jr., Evansville, to-
DAY presented the pros and cons re-
earding restriction or abolition of
powers OF the Supreme Court to de-
-lare laws unconstitutional in adj
dressing the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sIty student body.
He termed his talk a sort of one
man Town Hall and asked that in
terested students write him their
reactions.
UNFOLDING the court, Mr.. Boehne
said
TO those who contend that a
change of some kind is necessary,
may l direct these quest;cns:
II the trainers of the Constitu-
ton did not intend to subject Acts
OF Congress TO judicial review, and
still did not intend that Congress
should have unlimited power. then
what check upon Congress did they
intend to impose?
Congress holds a check upon the
Executive and Judiciary through
the power Of impeachment, but who
holds a check upon Congress?"
Closes Argument for Court
In closing the argument for the
courts powers, Lfr. Beohne con-
cluded:
II maintain that a court with this
power is necessary in a union of
sovereign states. 1t is necessary
to the preservation of order and as
a protection against the tyranny Of
the majority"
Reversing his role, Mr.. Boehne
then outlined arguments for such
changes as requiring decisions on
constitutionality to be unanimous
or taking this entire power from
the Supp enc Court.
Decisions Political Opinions
Such decisions of our courts are
mere political opinions and not jul

They are wholly unauthorized by

FAv0RS BRAN
Relieves Common Constipa-
tion* Safely

Read this statement, taken from
an article in the Journal of the
American Dietet tic Association,
pages 133-134, Nov, 1882:
'The inclusion in the diet of a
small portion of bran would
seem a very practical way of get
ting fiber which is not likely to be
disintegrated. This bran has the
additional advantage of furnishing
a considerable amount of vitamin
b and of readily available iron"
Exhaustive tests, over a period
of five years, have proved Kellogg's
ALL-BRAN to be a safe, effective
way to correct constipation due to
insufficient "bulk" or fiber in meals.
1t is accepted by the American
Medical Association Committee on
Foods for this purpose.
You will enjoy this pleasant way
to prevent the dangers of constipa-
ton. You can eat Kellogg's ALL
BRAN as a cereal with milk or
cream. Or cook into delicious
breads and mullins.
Usually two tablespoonful apiece
daily are enough to protect your
