tor Holt took it upon himself at
the last session to demand an in
vestigation of the WPA. He
charged this organization was

the Administration and he at

Now his colleague, Senator M.

Senator Holt carried his fight
out into his State in the cam

back. Came the dawn of the po-
litical victory of the Administra-
tion and attention was turned
to Senator Holt's case. He was
stripped of his patronage.
Now comes the further spank
ing. Verbal and suave, Senator
Holt apparently listened with a
bit more interest than other mem
bers of that august body to the
speech delivered by Senator Joe
Guffey of Pennsylvania when he
demanded an investigation Of
'The Nine Old Men,"
Apparently he thought that the
path trod by such an Administra-

of Pennsylvania was a good row

The strength of all forms
of government alike, Dhether
AGAINST foreign attack or in
ternal diSintegration, must de-
pend in the long last upon the
spirit of the people; upon their
determination to maintain their
oWn institutions.
From "Ordeal by Battle"
(OliUer).
At long last it is here again,
here in our midst, here on our
own soil-an insidious attempt to
overthrow the Government of the
Constitution by ch okin g into
supine silence the Supreme Court
of the United States-"the living
voice of the Constitution.
Whether this attempt succeeds
or fails will ultimately depend
neither upon any one man or
group of men, within or without
the legislative or executive
branches.
FINAL VERDICT
Only the people themselves,
North. East, South and West, can
hand down the final verdict. If
they decide, in their wisdom, that
the Government of the Constltu-
tion is worth maintaining, then
the job of maintaining it cannot
be delegated to anybody anywhere.
It is a job that the people, of and
by and for themselves, must do.
Only they can protect "the living
voice Of the Constitution" from be-
ing choked off. Only they can pre-
vent the power of the Chief Justice
of the United States and the ASso-
ciate Justices of the Great Tri-
bunaI, over which he preSideS,
from being made the victim of the
legislative lynching-bee which GER
tain Senators and Representatives
in Congress are now organizing.
This assault has for it's nefarious
purpose the destruction of hte in
dependence of the judicial branch
of the Federal Government and
the dividing between the legisla-
tive and executive branches powers
denied to them by the people un-
der the Constitution.
The ringleaders of this sapping
expedition seem to be seeking to
raze to the ground by undermining
what they are afraid to attempt
openly to overthrow. If they were
not afraid that the people would
refuse their consent to the despotic
schemes which they are Matching
they would go openly and honestly
before the people in advocacy of
what they are plotting to prl1g
about. They would proclaim their
advocacy of changing the ConSti-
tuition by amendment-changing
1t in the way the people in the Con,
stitution have prescribed for chang
ing it.

luton a subcommittee was forth
with appointed to consider the
resolution.
In the case of Senator Holt, it
happened like this: Senator
Henry Fountain Ashurst, chair
man of the Judiciary Committee,
arose and addressed the Senate.
He said:
"Mr. President: do not rise
in the attitude Of a censor. Such
an attitude would never be per-
mitted by this body. I do say,
however, if the Senate of the
United States is going to pause
in its great work to take up and
consider the truth or falsity of
newspaper or magazine articles
referring to Senators, then, in
deed, we will do nothing but sit
as sage statues passing on In
competent, irrelevant and imma-
terial matters.

is to apply the philosophy Of the

Sary.
"Of course, the Senate has the
right to demand that the Judi.
ciary Committee suspend its in.
vestigatiOn of constitutions and
laws and policies which make
people great and strong, and give
attention to these small matters.
II do not wish to be unparlia-
mentary in referring to the resO-
luton of a Senator as small

this kind"
HIS SUGGESTION
In order to hurry things alone
and get it all Strengthened out
Senator Joseph I. Robinson. ma
jority leader, suggested that the
Judiciary Committee did have
jurisdiction of the matter and
just before it was to be definitely
sent to his committee, Senator
AShurst put in the final crack.
He said:

that special committee be ap-
pointed to consider the reSOlu-
tiOn and that the committee be

Indifference to Truth
By J. T. Williams, T.

, ping expedition had the honesty
and could muster the courage to
take the people into their conf
dence they would candidly and
publicly confess that they are
trying to Europeanize the Ameri-
can system of government by
taking from the States the powers
delegated to them by the people
and concentrating these powers
in the Federal Government at
Washington. They would ex-
plain to the people that this
means the destruction, in large
part, of local self-government
and the centralizing of nearly all
government in Washington.
1t is because the political sap
pers engaged in this expedition
are as afraid Of the power of
public sentiment as is Skittish
horse of a piece of paper in a
wind-Swept street that they cloak
their clandeStine purposes in
various and sundry disguiSes.
These DISCUSSES are all designed
to deceive the people, to prey
upon popular ignorance and to
cater to and take advantage of
popular Indifference.
1t is doubtless for this reason
that various and Sundry legisla-
tive proposals now pending be-
fore the Congress have been in
troduCed in the name of the peO-
pie, and upon the hypocritical
pretense that the people are
clamoring for their adoption.
This is why those proposals are
supported by the false argument
that the way to save the liber-
ties of the people is to set up in
t he legislative or executive
branches of the Government, or
in both, arbitrary and deSpotic
power.
FLAGRANT EXAMPLE
A flagrant example either of the
ignorance of some of the aSsail-
ants of the Supreme Court or of
their indifference to the truth ap-
pears in recent issue of the Con-
greSsional Record. There, in black
and white, appears a statement to
the effect that the Great Tribunal
has never, in all history, by an
opinion, saved the rights and lib
critics of the people from a Con-
gress attempting to ride rough
Shod over both.
AS matter of fact-a fact set
forth in the records of the court
and of Congress, and commented
on by those whose love of truth
led them to examine both-Con-
gress, or one of its branches, has
violated the provisions OF the Bill
of Rights at least 10 times since
the year 1857; and at least 10
times has the Supreme Court
saved the individual against Con-
gresslonal uSurpation of power"
The proof of this fact will be
given in subsequent articles.

During the last six months the Federal Government
caused its employees to work approximately IL million
hours more than the time they would ordinarily be eN
pected to work and Approximately II million hours over
ordinary standard and desirable hours.
The existence of this condition has been known for
some time but the Civil Service Commissions report is
the first thorough compilation Of overtime hours which
has been made.
THE REPORT BRINGS INTO THE OPEN A STU

It demonstrates the wisdom of those of who insisted
that the leave bills adopted last year should include pro-
vision for compensatory time extra pay for overtime
1t is because of this nSisence that the survey OF over

WHAT THE REPORT SHOWS IS THAT THE FED

MILLION AND ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS
