The Box Score

Here's the outcome Of the
struggles between Presidents end

Washington-Asked the court
for advice and was snubbed. The
court thus declared its independ-
ence. Court victory.
Observation-Disclosures the right
Of the court to have the last
word on constitutionality of laws,
but Chief Justice Marshall es-
tablished courts position as a
final interpreter of the Consti-
tuition. Court victory.
JackSon-Permitted a State to
nullify a ruling of the court.
Presidential victory.
Van Buren Charged the
court with raiding the Treasury
powers in awarding postal
claims. The justices stood their
ground. then backed water. A
draw.
Lincoln-Ordered the military
to disobey an order Of the court
in wartime. Presidential VIC
tory.
Grant-Filled three vacancies
in quick succession and got the
Supreme Court TO reverse itself.
Presidential victory.
Theodore Roosevelt - Advo-
Gated, as a Republican candidate
for the presidency in 1912, re-
call Of judicial opinions by pop
ular vote, but was forced to run
as an independent, and so split
his party that Wilson emerged

over the Constitution would have been
limited to battles between the Presi-
dent and Congress. For instance,
Franklin Roosevelt could have tried
out his N. r. A. and A. A. A. laws
before he ever urged them on Congress.
The minute Thomas Jefferson occu-
pied the new White House he and the
court went at it.
Never before or since have justices
spared so brilliantly, nor Presidents
countered so beautifully. So polite
were the participants that only occa-
sional vulgarities Of speech revealed
the tide of battle.
The tall, somewhat awkward Chief
Justice John Marshall made his
thrusts while pursuing in odd moments
the arts Of fashion and cards. His
court sat in small basement room of
the Senate, but its sessions were
frightened by the frequent presence
OF beauties Of the day In colorful
costume.
Jefferson CO0ls OF.
Jefferson was tempted to lay the
groundwork of the battle in this pro-
nouncement of Democratic party (then
dubbed Republican, principle:
TO make each (of the three
branches Of Government) an effectual
check ION the other) it must have a
right In cases which arise within the
line OF its proper functions, where,
equally with the others it acts in the
last resort and without appeal, to
decide on the validity of an act accord
ing to its own judgment and uncon-
trolled by the opinions of any other
department.
Wasn't that pretty strong?" he
must have asked himself.
At any rate, Jefferson wrote that
sentence into his first address to
Congress and then struck it out
Prudent instincts prevailed, and the
hnal draft Of the message slyly said:

The Real Issue.
The issue often has boiled down to
the question whether the Supreme
Court has the right of judicial re-
view over acts of Congress. In other
words: who's got the final say-so?"
The inevitable conflicts began while
the United States was still in swad-
ding clothes as a Nation under Presi-
dent Washington.

American neutrality in the war be-
tween France and England in 1893
before legal piracy began on the high

unfair to attempt to read an answer
into his story. There were rewards
from the times the earliest colonists
traded with the Indians to retreat
farther back into the forests, to the
1885 period, when the Federal Gov
ernment spent s75000,000 for the
benefit Of the Indians, in addition to
the regular annual appropriations for
administration, which amounted to
over s6s,0Oo,ooo.
There has been much written Of a
completely emotional nature on the
Indian question, but Mr.. Kinney's
book is not Of that quality. 1t Is a
scholarly work by an author who has
conducted his research in the clear
atmosphere of personal knowledge Of
his subject. The happy result Is an
authoritative reference book for the
critical student Of history and an in
teresting story for the general reader.
The book is replete with evidence OF
an understanding sympathy with the
Indian and, at the same time. Is singu-
larly free from the sentimentalism
that has too often obscured the
foundations upon which must be built
any permanent structure of Indian ac-
complishment. E. L.

A CONTINENT LOST-A CIVILIZA-
IION WON: Indian Land Tenure
in America. BY j. P. Kinney.
Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins
University Press.
A N UNKNOWN number Of Indians
once owned all the land which is
the United States; now 10000 recog-
niZed Indians own scant 50,00O,000
acres. How this gigantic land trans
fer came about is a theory all Ameri-
cans should know and 1T is told au-
thoritatively and dispassionately by
Mr.. Kinney in this book.
The author, during his 27 years in
the Indian Bureau, has gathered an
amazing amount of information on
Indian affairs and particularly-as
shown in this volume-on how the
white man conquered the Indian
lands. He traces this story from the
arrival Of the first New World settlers
to the latest land acts under the pres
ent administration. The book is
thoroughly documented and obviously
the author pays the most meticulous
attention to accuracy 1t is supple
mented with maps, charts, bibliog-
raphies. appendix and index. A more
scholarly work on the subject could
not be imagined.
The inception Of the modern In

son, when the first tribes were sent
sippi The wisdom OF the move Is
generally admitted. the Indian and
white civilizations having been shown
incompatible in the early years OF the
development OF the country. An his
toric sidelight of this controversy and
one often recalled nowadays was jack
sons famous remark when the Su-
preme Court ruled against States con-
troll OF Indian affairs within their
boundaries John Marshall has
made his decision, now let him en-
force it." Mr. Kinney has no docu-
mentary proof that Jackson ever made
such a remark but he lists it as
generally accepted story. This is but
one slight indication Of his accuracy.
After the Indians were removed to
their new territories, human nature
being what it was and is, all was not
even then right Then there arose the
movement for allotment of land to In
dividual Indians. The question had
been agitated for years before 1t was
finally authorized by Congress in 1887.
That was the beginning of one OF the
most heated of the legal controversies
surrounding the Indian problem IN
America. The lands later were leased
or sold, corruption entered the picture,
officials charged the Indians were
becoming indolent and profigate.
Numerous laws were enacted to i'm
prove upon the situation, but with
varying success. The problem has not
yet been settled
OF course, there is no possible way
to know whether the Indian has been
justly compensated for the land taken
over the years. But this volume does
answer-not in any sense by pleading,
but merely by placing the irrefutable
facts before the reader-the charge
that the land was stolen from the
Redmen From the beginning there
were compensations for the Indians.
Whether the compensations were just

attempt to answer, and it would be
