A CONCiLIATORY KING

The Greeks restored George II to the throne
and George promptly restored hand-organs to the
streets of Athens
These itlnerant purveyOrS of harmony had been
banned during the Ncnezest republic on the
sgOund that they were noisy and took the peoples
money.
The grateful grinders said to be repaying the
kings favor by playing little except the royalist
anthem!
There may have been meCuod in the Kings kind
ness
Was it not Slgnor Mussolin who said that he
wished to make his cOuntrymen something more
than "a nation of organ grinders?"
Any student OF history, ancient or modern, will
tell you that a nation may easily be engaged in
less estimable undertakings than picking, up an
honest penny with hand-organ.-Detro Free

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY LIES

Recent discussions Of Supreme Court policies
and the judicial attitude Of that body should
to impress upon the country and its government
agencies the fact That under system Of gov
eminent a grave responsibility must always con
tinue to upon Congress and the administration
to keep government actions within the spirit and
provisions of the Constitution.
II needs to be constantly emphasized that card
ina principle of Judicial Interpretation is that adop-
ton by congress Of measure carries certain de-
gree of presumption that it IS constitutional. The
courts, in other words, take into consideration this
congressional Judgment, and it must be OVerthroWn
by ciear-cut showing if adverse Judicial ruling
is TO be made. And it is also true under our fed
era judicial policies that to bring successful con-
test of this Sort the citizen be able to make
some showing Of direct and specific injury 70 him.
1t is thus clear that the Legislative branch may
frequently go beyond strict constitutional powers
in letter or spirit without the likelihood Of sue
cessfu challenge 1t is therefore of the utmost
Importance that the legislative branch bear in mind
constantly its own responsibility to abide by con-
stutional principles to the best of it's ability and
in accordance with its sincerest Judgment
Any spirit in the legislative assembly Of adop0-
ing measures with little thought as to constitona-
lily, and in the attitude of leaving it up to thu
court to say whether not a measure is const!-
tutional, is serious neglect of this responsibility.
The people have reason to feel that they should
look first and foremost to their Legislators sta
within the constitution, and to that the ship Of
state is steered along the course charted by this
document. An appeal to the courts should be a
course taken only as last resort, and congress
should feel the responsibility to do nothing, far
as it's considered judgment goes that will give the
citizen good reason to have to go to the courts.
The courts, essentially, place to have wrongs
corrected. 1t is a basic duty of the government
agencies, however, to avoid in the first place any
such wrong in the way of unconstitutional acts as
far as posSble.-GreenvilIe News

NEWSPAPERS OPINION IN
THE FREE" AND THE INDEPENDENT
PRESS

George Gordon Battle, long ago lost to his ma
tive state, North Carolina, and gained by New
York City writes the New York Times:
The recent decision of the supreme court en-
nbasizing the Importance of free press recalls
tho onnion of Thomas Jefferson on that subject
sxpre,sed in a letter written by him from Paris on
January Is. 1881, TO his friend Col. Edward Cac-
ripgton. Mr. Jefferson wrote:
THE basis Of our government being the opinion
Of the peope, the very first object should be to
keen that right; and were it left to me to decide
whether we should nave government without
pewspapers or newspapers without government,

latter"
Il IS | think imposs ole to conceive a stronger

Mr. Battles reference Is to the decision>of the
court in the case where the Long dictatorship nl-
posed punitive taxes upon a specified class Of
newspapers. The coUg. ruled those taxes uncon-
sttutional.
OF course Mr.. Battle $ right. A free" press
is of supreme Importance to the people of an
country. But we think that while We are demand

HERE IS THE BEGINNING OF A
BEAUTIFUL SCRAP

The politicians in Washington may hnd
that they are poking in hornets nest n
undertaking to punish General Johnson
Hagood because ne had the courage 70
speak the truth about the manipulation
and expenditure of WPA funds.
General Johnson has been relieved Of
hl, army command and ordered home AMI
whereabouts dates the beginning Of wha.
will probably prove to be one Of the no.
te,. scraps lhe War Department mas ever
Witnessed in peace time.
\ number Of Congressman, both Demo
cra.s and Republicans, hoped right on the
incident as soon as the news Of the order
Was made public Congressman Blanton,
scrapping Democrat from Texas, proposes
to- defend General Hagood in finish fight
and declares that the Secretary Of War, the
Assistant Secretary of War and General
Craig. army chief of staff, should De I'M
Deached and removed from office.
OF course the public understands thai
army officers and soldiers must be con-
sentative and careful in talking about
political or public affairs; but in the case
Of General Hagood the statement which
has offended the Washington political
bosses was not something in the nature o.;
ordinary criticism Of the administration &C
expression Of opinion Of public policies.
General Hagood was teStifying before d
Congressional committee and in answer to
questions by members Of the committee, in
his capacity as a witness, expressed the
opinion that WPA money is stage money"
saying you can pass it around but you
cannot get anything out of it.
The Generals remarks were interpreted
as meaning that WPA money is being
wasted, that nothing of lasting benefit Of
enduring help to the country is being Sc
cured for much of this vast expenditure.
If that is what General HagoOd intended
TO say as & witness before a Congressional
committee, the public will back his views
uuu public opinion will sustain Congress IN
amy effort made to see that General
Hagood is protected in his rights as an
American citizen and as an army officer
and that the political bosses are not allow
ed to suppress reasonable and lawful tree
dom OF speech in this case.
As to the view of WPA voiced by Cen
cral Hagood, public opinion is Overwhelm-
ingly on the Generals side. The people oil
this country know that WPA is the admin
istration'S prize bOondOggling scheme foi
political manipulation. Removing Cen
eral HagoOd from his command Will not
change public opinion, and no amount o.
radical effort to suppress criticism or sup
press free speech will achieve that end,
