MOOSE TANCLE WITH DOUGLAS
 TOMORROW EVE

Once again the leadership in the Gastineau Channel League hinges on meeting of the Douglas and Moose ball squads The two hines mix it tomorrow evening in nine inning contest scheduled to get un- der way at 5:30 o'clock at Firemen's Park, and, win for the Islanders will bring them back up to the top of the heap, tied with the Moose in the second half pennant race.
 A win tomorrow is all the Paps need to put them well out in front, as they already hold an edge over the Islanders in the second half, as well as having the first half crown securely roped and tied.
 In keeping with recent resolu- tion made by Island Manager Walt Andrews, Claude Erskine will pro- bably start on the mound against the Paps. Andrews has vowed to save his star finger for Moose con- tests only, in the hope of catching the high-stepping Black Sox. Pitch CT Lefty Smith, who apparently has the redskin mark on the Islanders, will probably mount the hill for the Moose.

decided cases in favor of labor, Is II no
fair to presume it was right IN ~ cases
that were decided in favor of capital!
Another favorite lie in circulation Is
that the Court blocks important and neceS,
sary legislation by declaring congressioha'
acts unconstitutional.
Here is the record on that point: out
If DO 600 decisions handed down by the
Court only 76 had any relation to the con-
stitutionality of laws. Only II OF these oe-
cisions were 5-to-4 decisions. Thlrty-tWo
of these decisions were unanimous; ~
with one dissenting vote, IA with two dis
senting votes, and 10 with 3 dissenting
votes. This is the record of the court from
the beginning, not the record OF the past
four years alone.
The fact is that not more than three or
four important new deal laws have oeeh
declared unconstitutional; and there was
NOT first class lawyer in Congress VINO
did not know, when the laws were enact
ed. that they were unconstitutional ana
would be so declared by the Court when
passed on. President Roosevelt was FULLY
aware of the character Of these laws ana
went so far as to publicly urge Congress
r. IGNORE the constitutional issue and go
right along passing laws in defiance OF the
Constitution.
The truth about the Supreme Court IS
readily obtainable. 1t is a court OF record
and the entire record is open to the public.
There is no reason or excuse for any nom
est citizen to become confused by misln-
formation or to be caught in the net OF
propaganda and Justification now beng
directed against the Court for political
purposes.

Suppose (just for the sake of supposing) that
so 900 operatives in cotton mills in South Carolina
drawing an average of SIP for weeks work OF
40 hours should go strike, they would lose IN
wages S6OO,OO0 a week, wouldn't they?
II they continued on strike ten weeks they would
lose S6,0OO,O00, wouldn't they?
If they "won the strike" by gaining an increase
of SO week, making their wage $l4 week. they
the $4,000, would gain S5,000,000 in fifty weeks
wouldn't they?
At that rate they would recover the $6,OOO,OoC
lost in about fourteen months, wouldn't they?
If a mill found that it couldn't pay $l4 week
il would in time shut down or go broke, wouldn't
Il? A bankrupt and closed mill gives nobody JOB
If $4,000 persons can afford to be idle, live ter
weeks and lose S6,OO0,O00 in wages, they can al
ford to build a dozen mills costing 100000 each
can't they? Why don't they?
Between 1895 and 1904 dozens of cotton mills
were built in this state by men who became theii
presidents and who did not have $4,000 eaeh 70
put in them Captain Ellison Smyth the late Cap
tain Montgomery, Colonel Orr, Ernest Lucas, Craig
Twitty, Lewis Parker, others and others, were poor
men, or men in moderate circumstances-wortn
from $4,000 to $4,000, when they put the mills
on the map. That is no money with which to buiio
mill.
Those men had something besides money. They
had brains They had force. They had courage
They had character that commanded the confidence
of men who had money.
That is why we have cotton mills. If there had
been no men like them there would now be not
the slightest danger of a strike.
There would be no cotton mills nobody to strike

Weren't those three departments

countcrcheck and countcrbalance
one another? Team work by those

the last thing the founders of our

our constitution had in mind; but
instead that the congress should
make the laws, that the supreme
court should determine whether

NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE A
CLOSE SECOND TO SOUTH CAROLINA

Anderson Record says: The South oar-
DINA Legislature can think OF more ways
TO scare capital away than any other oooy
of lawmakers in existence"
South Carolina may be in the LEAD ou'
the North Carolina Legislature IS a close
second in the contest for honors IN TINS
field of effort.
North Carolina Legislature has adjourn
al after enacting 1900 bills, including some
of the worst tax laws ever devised any
where; and these will have definite ell
feet in keeping new citizens and new cap
ital away from this State.
II * a safe bet that 100 of the l2oo
bills enacted ought to have been promptly
consigned to the trash can and never gwen
q chance to become laws. OF course,
large majority of these bills were what IS
known as local laws; but it is TACT
that one of the worst and most abused ae-
velopments in connection with Legislation
in this State is the 'local laws craze.
This bad habit of enaeting local leglsla-
ton lust barely missed fire in the late Leg
islature when it was sought to use 1t Tor
the purpose of destroying democratic gov
eminent in several counties. In many other
directions it is being abused in a way that
Is highly. detrimental to good government
in North Carolina.
In addition to enacting bad tax laws ana
uniting an expense burden on the people
of this State which is absolutely unJusti-
fable, the late Legislature displeased sew
eral hundred thousand voters by attempt
ing to force the legalized liquor business
on North Carolina without giving the peo-
pie a chance to vote on the issue.
However, the action which probably VIII
rise higher and last longest to plague the
dominant political party is the taxing pol
icy and extravagant appropriations record
made at this session.
One of the bills enacted by the late Leg
islature provides S250,O00 for an advertis-
ing fund to make North Carolina known
abroad among prospective citizens and TO
attempt to bring new industries to the
State.
Why enact one law to expend money Tor
this purpose and then pass dozen laws
that will nullify the efforts made under
the advertising fund bill?

THE RECORD OF THE SUPREME
COURT

In the flood of propaganda directed
against the Supreme Court, flowing from
inspired soarces-government and private
sources-is much designed to inflame the
masses and create the impression that the
courts decisions have been warped and
prejudiced in favor of big Business" and
against the workers and other numerically
strong groups of citizens.
This is the work of denagogues and po-
litieal manipulators. 1t is an ancient, ia
vored and successful trick, when used in
country such as ours. All such statements
however, are false and are known to- De
false by their authors. To get the truth 1t
is only necessary to examine the record, OF
the Court.
For example, Congressman Pettingill OF
Indiana has publicly produced the record
and shown that of 100 Court decisions IN
volving the rights and interests of labor
and capital, 80 decisions have been favor
able to labor.
Does that look like court packed
against the people and determined to de-
stroy their rights?

INITIATION AND PRETENSE

The pretense Of impotence in the lace OF the
inflationary boom also arises from divided judy
ment within the administration and in the Presi-
dents own mind The truth of the matter IS that
they have not yet had the courage to stop the in
flation because they afraid of the pressure
groups in their own following. We are having an
initiation and it threatens to get out of hand Why?
Because Mr.. Roosevelt has not yet had the courage
either to retrench expenditures or to increase
taxes.
The Supreme court has nothing whatever to do
with the problem of averting initiation. The full
authority and the full responsibility are in the
President and in Congress They can balance the
budget. They can stop the inflationary issue and
discounting of federal and local bonds. They can
control the volume of money. They can determine
the price of gold. 1t is evasion of their unmis.
taxable responsibility when they seek to persuade
the people that nothing can be done until they
have acquired more power by packing the Supreme
court
If they have any sincere doubt about their pow,
err to deal with the initiation there is very easy
way for them to prove their case. Let them pro
pose the new laws they believe they need, and lei
us have look at them. They talk vaguely and
ominously about their lack Of power to control the
boom Let them introduce the bills which they are
limiting at, not next July, not next January but
now
If those new laws to do any good they should
be put on the statute books-now. They won't wait
until after the fight the court is ended. They
should be enacted-now For the time to cOntro
the initiation is-now. II the administration ha.
plans for controlling it, the time to act s-now II
it needs more legal authority, the time to prove

WIASHINGTON-Most Of the
w Democratic senators who have
declared themselves opposed TO
the Presidents judiciary plan will
not come up for denomination
and reelection until 1910.
Without making any generaliza-
tons as to the possible significance
of the present lineup, it is easy to
point out that the votes Of indi-
vidual senator's are likely to figure
as issues in the congressional cleo
tons of 1898. In that year the
support Of Roosevelt presumably
will be more OF n campaign asset
than it will be in 1910. And in
the presidential year of 1910 there
are likely to be other issues which
will dwarf the question Of what
was done about the Supreme
Court in 1887.
ONE of the more recent polls Of
" the Senate shows 81 members
for the administration program, 35
against and "a noncommittal. AS
among Democratic senator's the
poll shows: 33 in favor, 10 against
and % undecided. >. N,
Eleven of the opposition Demo-
Gratis are UP for reelection in
1870. The 1910 group also in
cludes eight in favor and five un-
decided.
Only six Of 81 Democratic sena-
tors who must face the voters in
1888 have thus far declared against
the Roosevelt plan. They are Clark
of Missouri, George of Georgia,
Gillette of Iowa, Smith of South
Carolina, Tydings Of Maryland and
Van Mugs Of Indiana. OF the 9TH
erS, IL have announced their sup
port of the President and nine are
still listed as undecided. p,

senator's elected in the Roosevelt
landslide Of 1896 have declared
against the proposal, Bailey of
