Constitution And The Court

It is interesting in view of the general discussion
of the recent decisions of the Supreme Court decar
ing certain acts Of Congress unconstitutional to look
at the record In all Of the nations history the Su
preme Court has passed "a, 300 public laws which
had been challenged as being beyond the power of
Congress under the Constitution, and has upheld
CONGRESS- in all but IA cases. involving 62 laws, David
Lawrence reports in his United States News,
In the first Y years Of the Republic, down to
President Lincolns administration only three Acts
of Congress were held invalid by the Supreme Court
The two Grant Administrations hold the record SO
far IA of their laws having been reversed In the two
administrations of Woodrow Wilson twelve laws were
passed by the Congress which failed to meet the
stitutional test In Mr.. McKinleys administration
there were SIX in those Of Lincoln and of Theodore
Roosevelt, five each in the Johnson, Harding and
Coolidge administrations four each, and the same
number in the two Cleveland administrations, while
acts of the Taft regime reversed in three in
Harrison was President met like fate The record of
the present administration of reversals of its acts ON
constitutional grounds is ten.
On the WHOLE the record of the Supreme Court
throughout its history in sustaining the Congress in
more than 900 cases in which the power of the Leg
islative arm Of Government was challenged, and Ov
erruling it in only out of every $780, does
not seem to furnish very solid ground which to
demand either the abolition OF the Judicial branch OF
our SYSTEM the imposition of restrictions upon It.
Recent events have focused public attention up
on the structure of the Federal Government one
of delegated powers, which may not be overstepped
without further authority from the states and the
people, The right of the people to change the system
and the precise whereby that may be done are
set forth in the Constitution itself.

Don't Entrust Your
Own or Your Family's
Well = Being to Unknown
Preparations

THE person to ask whether the
l. preparation you or your family
are taking for the relief of headaches
is SAFE to use regularly is your
family doctor. Ask him particularly
about Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN.
He will tell you that before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin most
pain" remedies were advised
against by physicians as bad for the
stomach and, often, for the heart.
Which is food for thought if you
seek quick, safe relief.
Scientists rate Bayer Aspirin
among the fastest methods yet dis
covered for the relief of headaches
and the pains of rheumatism, neu-
ritis and neuralgia. And the expert
ence of millions of users has proved
it safe for the average person to use
regularly. In Uour oWn interest re-
member this.
You can get Genuine Bayer
Aspirin at any drug store - simply
by asking for it by its full name,
BAYER ASPIRIN. Make it a
point to do this - and see that you
act what you want.
