Two Governors And A Contrast

by Governor Ayers to the Montana legislators among
other things MIR. Governor III this Is to be your paryS

times so is Montana The liberal members at the legislature
have already slapped you in the face In uncertain terms
they have demanded enough relief money to prevent star

These are omnous words and should command the at
enon of every Senator and Representative now in seS
sion at Helena the end that what Governor Ayers fail
ed to suggest in the matter of remedial legislation because
corporate pressure ity nexcuSabe indifference
must be undertaken by themselves and pushed to conc

matter. ~
The Return of Prosperity" is the theme song that ean
ates the throats of every political mountebank in the
country and Governor Ayers not wishing to be out OF hr

misleading refrain Such chanting does not recy the con-

ment nulifies any contrary provisions
in the local code of laws. Our code pro-
vides for the appointment of the Gov

The cause of the change is
presumably due to the charges made
during the recent political upheaval that
the executive deartment was trying TO
influence the judiciary. With the District
Court completely under the control of
the Department of Justice the Judiciary
will function as an independent branch
of the government.
@zThere was one redeeminQ feat6re IN
der the old system, qualified natives could
hope for appointment as officers of the
court. At present the Assistant govern

We hope that the Department of JUS

they possess the qualifications required
for such offices.

TRANSFER OF JURISDICTION

TRANSFER OF JURISDICTION
Judge ]. Warren Davis wrote in his
opinion:
''The President intended to transfer and
did transfer the District Court of the
Virgin Islands from the jurisdiction of the
Department of the Interior to the Depart
ment of Justice. Thereafter, the court, with
its officers, functioned and could only
function under the Department of Justice
and was free from any control whatever
of the Department of the Interior We
heard the representative of the Dpart-
ment of the Interior at the argument of
this case purely as a matter of courtesy,
for as matter of right and law it was
stranger to the proceedings and had no
standing or proper place in the court"
In answer to charge that Judge Wilson
acted as Judge, jury, prosecutor and prose
cutting witness" Judge Joseph Burlington
wrote:
eve do not feel he acted as a prose
cutor, but in accord with the standards laid
down in many csses."

PHILADELPHIA, IA. = Control of the
District Court of the Virgin Islnnds and
appointment of the government attorney
by the Department of Justice was upheld
today by the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals.
Harold Ickes, Secretary of the Interior,

The case cine before the court in an
appeal of the conviction of Leonard Wal

JUDGE WILSON CRITICIZED.
Iekes' counsel asked the conviction be
set aside, contending it was unjusti6ed and

Curtains
Are Never
''Drapes
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Is it correct to
~ call all overcurtains "drapes"? It
seems to me that every kind of cur
tain. which is not glass curtain, Is
given this name.
Answer-The word draperies Is a
general term comprising all materials
which are either draped (as in dress
design or which are used in the deco
ration Of a room. This means cur
tains, lambrequins, valances, dressing
table petticoats, even q panel Of ma
terial hanging on a wall. But please,
please don't use the word "drapes"
any more than you would use the word
gents"
DEAR MRS. POST: We are moving
into a small apartment which
has only one cabinet in the kitchen
for dishes. This is very inadequate
for our things and there is no more
space to build more closets in the
kitchen. We do. however, have
generous foyer hall in which I have
stood a chest, which will need for
blankets and out-of-season woolens.
However, there would also be space
to stand a narrow cabinet of some
sort in which the remainder OF the
dishes and glasses be stored. Do you
think this would be cut of place in
the foyer, and if not, what kind OF
cabinet would you advise getting-one
with solid wood doors, or glass front,
and in dark wood to match the chest
or in color?
Answer-AlthoLgh I think glass
doors are pretty, don't think that a
china and glass display would look
we'll in foyer. If you mean cup
board that has glass doors. it Is simple
to hang plain china silk curtains.
gathered tight on rods at top and
bottom, of a color that goes well in
the foyer. A plain dark wood would
be probably more useful and certainly
more inconspicuous. On the other
hand, there Is no reason why you
should not have q painted cupboard
If you can afford a lacquered one or
If you have enough talent to paint
and decorate one yourself.
