Paintings of FloUers
Cultivated in HdWaii.
A COLLECTION of paintings of
- flowers which grow-and in some
instances bloom-all the year round
in Honolulu, Hawaii, will be placed on
exhibition in the reception room at the
Arts Club tomorrow afternoon. They
are the work of Olive Gale Mclean
(Mrs. Ridley Mclean of this city,,
who spent the last few Summers
studying and picturing the flowers in
Pacific Islands that have attained to
greatest perfection. Some of these
flowers were not indigenous to the Ha-
waiian Islands. but were brought there
by missionaries and other travellers.
BY careful cultivation, however, they
have been acclimated and now bring
forth blooms to utmost perfection.
The Outdoor Circle of Honolulu, an
organization purposed to beautify the
city through landscape gardening and
other means. sponsors enthusiastically
Mrs. McLean's flower paintings and
declares them veracious.

incident, but the subconScious
mind brought it back vividly with
the subsequent results.
a like explanation may hold for
a recent case in Connecticut in
which a father dreamed two nights
in succession that his young son
had been drowned in a rain barrel

On the third day, the mother.
looking into the yard, saw the feet
of their two-and-a-half-year-old boy
sticking out Of the barrel. She
pulled him out just in the nick OF
time, and doctors revived him with
a respirator. Most likely the father
had constantly associated the
barrel of water with the danger II
held for an inquisitive youngster
INACCURACIES
Many people dreamed about
the Lindbergh baby kidnapping
Prof. Murray, of the Harvard
psychological clinic, investigated
1900 such dreams, having asked
that persons report them to the
clinic.
Not one of this large number
approximated the facts in the
case. In only a small proportion
Of the dreams did the baby ap'
pear as dead and in none ap'
peared the true circumstances Of
the discovery of the body.
An old belief had it that If a
person, dreaming of a fall from
a great distance, hit the ground
in his dream. he would wake up
in the next world. This is not
true, although deaths occurred
from Nightmares, and dogs have
died in the midst Of violent
dreams. It is usually matter Of
q weak heart giving In to the
fright or terror occasioned by
such dreams.
A celebrated trial in the recent
records in New Jersey is that OF
a man who shot and killed his
wife when dreaming that he was
killing a burglar. Another has to
do with a young man in Brooklyn,
who, from the practice Of sleeping
with a revolver under his pillow,
dreamed that he had killed him
self. He was awakened by a call
from his sister.
A moment later, she heard q
shot and found her brother lying
in bed with the pistol at his side
His dream had been so realistic
that when he woke he had an ir'
resistible impulse to shoe him

lice headquarters and selected
one as that Of the slayer.
Two months after the fatal
night, the mother had a dream.
In 1t, she saw the slayer as she
had seen him during the fight IN
the cellar. She also saw her
daughter going to a street corner
in the neighborhood and captur-
ing the man.
So vivid was the dream and
so impressed was the family that
the daughter and her brother went
to the corner and, as indicated
in the dream, there the daughter
saw the man whose picture she
had found in the rogue's gallery
and which she had identified as
that of the killer of her father,
"There he is!" she cried.
The man fled but was captured.
His was the face on the rogue's
gallery picture. He was the man
of the cellar, according to daugh-
ter and mother, and although ne
denied the murder, the police held
him.
Of such stuff are dreams made.
SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
The doctors tell us we always
are dreaming, awake as well as
asleep. The brain never rests, and
the subconscious mind gets in its
chief innings when the normal
consciousness has been put to
slumber by the physical exhauS-
tion Of the body.
Dreams have been news since
the day in Pharaol1'S palace when
Joseph interpreted the kings
dream as foreshadowing q period
Of plenty after which there would
be famine.
The Egyptians went in strong
for an explanation of dreams, and
a visitor to the British Museum
may see a dream book of theirs
which goes back IL centuries be-
fore the Christian era and in
which 100 dreams are recorded
with their probable significance
and the results to be expected.
Napoleon, supposedly, put great
stock in his dreams: Those Of us
of pre-war vintage will remember
the pink-colored dream books
which used to decorate the news
stands of the country, which were
called "Napoleon's Dream Book
and which bore a picture Of the
Little Corporal on their cover.
Association of ideas and the de-
velopment of fears in the subcon-
scious mind play a large part in
dreams. The case Of the suspected
slayer might be traced back to the

United States in particular and
the Federal Judiciary in general.
There is no reason to believe,
however, that the suspension Of
this onslaught is permanent.
There are many reasons to believe
that it will be renewed next No
vember if Personal Government
prevails at the polls.
Not only will it be renewed, but
Personal Government would, in
the event of victory, then be in
a position to suit effective action
to its threatening word.
It could then fill the vacancies
on the Supreme Court and the
other Federal courts with those
followers of Personal Government
who had declared themselves in
sympathy with its efforts to de-
stroy the independence of the
Judiciary.
NOTHING NEW
It Is in these circumstances that
Personal Government has swung
its attack from the courts to the
press.
For the next few months a Free
Press must bear the brunt of the
attack so oravely borne in the
last two years by the Supreme
Court of the United States and
the other branches of that indie
pendent Judiciary which has been
alike the pride and the protector
of the constitutional rights Of the
American people since the Gov.
ernment of the Constitution was
established.
Nor will the people Of the
Southern States overlook the fact
that the enemies of an inde-
pendent Judiciary and the ira.
ducers Of a Free Press have
gone back to the dark days Of
the Reconstruction Period for the
weapons of legal precedent with
which to stage a new political
lynching- bee at the cost of those
age-old constitutional guarantees
embodied in the Bill of Rights
of the Federal Constitution.
There is nothing new in this.
It is as old as the history of
Personal Government in all times
and in all places.
And in due time the plain
people of this country will see
the issue as clearly as they have
seen it in the past whenever the
forces of Personal Government
have attempted, as George Wash
ington predicted they would, ito
undermine what cannot be di-
rectly overthrown" in the Amer
ican system of which the Consti-
tuition is the cornerstone, the
Supreme Court of the United
States "the keystone of the arch"
and a Free Press the Sentinel
on Guard.
The Washington times., 1936-03-23

In recent weeks the sinister
forces of Personal Government
have swung from their insidious
attack upon the independence OF
the Judiciary to a sapping ex.
pedition, the evil purpose OF
which appears to be to impair
the Freedom Of the Press.
The Freedom Of the Press and
the independence Of the Judi
ciary are the main obstacles to-
day in the path of Personal Gov
ernment.
It's janissaries are well aware
that they cannot perpetuate Per-
sonal Government in this coun'
try against the combined resist
ance of an independent judiciary
and a free Press.
The opportunity to destroy the
independence of the Judiciary
will not come until after the next
presidential election.
It is possible, If not probable
that the next President Of the
United States will have as his
most important duty the appoint
ment of a majority Of the mem.
bers of the Supreme Court Of the
United States. Six of these mem.
bers have now passed the age
which makes them eligible fol

that the next President will also

years following the next presiden-
tial election to appoint a third

INSIDIOUS ATTACK
To continue, therefore, between
now and election in full force its
insidious attack upon the inde'
pendence of the entire Federal
Judiciary would compel Personal
Government to go before the
great jury of the people next No
vember on this issue:
Will the liberties Of the
American people be safer
under a Judiciary packed by
the appOintees of Personal Gov
ernment than they have been
and still are under that indie

tuition provides?

I'D OF texas, ~R'
chairman of the House Agriculture
Committee, met the other day they
agreed to use the principal tea-
lures of the old Warren tobacco
act as the first part Of the pro-
gram.
Their plans will be to circum-
vent the decisions of the United
States Supreme Court in its rul-
ings on the AAA, the Kerr Potato
Act, and the Tobacco Act.
The Supreme Court in other
decisions has held that States
could make compacts or what
amounts to treaties. It has also
held that the Government could
give money to States for various
purposes.
Consequently, what the Admin
iStration plans to do Is set up a
structure which will permit 1t to
give money to States forming COM
pacts for the control Of agricul-
ture and industry. The tobacco
control legislation will merely be
used as a sample.
Under the present program,
the Federal Government would
be able to control industry and
agriculture to a far greater ex'
tent than it did with the NRA
and the AAA.
1t would not be a question Of
direct control but one of intlu-
ence.
It could provide that it would
give money to States that entered
into the compacts and refuse to
give funds to those States which
failed to make the treaties for
control Of production.
The Roosevelt regime plans TO
force as much legislation as pos
sible in this session to start the
new and revolutionary program
It plans to continue the pro-
gram next session believing it will
remain in power.
