Vile ENQUIRER points out in the following:
As it is, more than half of the people of the
South are apparently against the proposals OF
President Roosevelt in regards to the supreme
court, and among others the South Carolina iegis-
lature is more against the proposal than it is for
it, though many of the members of the two houses
will no doubt favor endorsing the proposition, for
no other reason than that it is put forth by Pres-
dent Roosevelt, Democrat But if this identical
proposal had been riade by President Hoover,

state capitol building at Columbia, could be heard

low the president in many things, but even that
doesn't mean that we are obligated to follow him
to the point where he will absolutely control the

as he evidently wants it to be.-Anderson Is. c.

as a discretionary power with the
President. instead of being manda-
tory. It also differs in its omis-
sion of the prohibition against
arming merchant vessels. in its
provision making the ban on
American travel by belligerent
ships discretionary rather than
mandatory, and its inclusion Of a
ban on solicitation of contiibu-
tons in this country for bellger-

Neither bill prohibits American
ships from carrying non-embar-
coed supplies into war zones.
Neither provides anything which
would prevent the building up OF
a huge war trade with whatever

TEMPTING THE SUPREME COURT

Surely the six out of the nine old men won't be
tempted by the bride that congress handed out last
week in the bill which would allow these vener-
ables to retire on full pay.
The average person has utmost respect for the
United States Supreme Court members, and the
quickest way for this respect to be killed would
he for the six old men to accept such honeyed

MANKIND HAS CREATED HIS OWN
WORST PERILS
(By BRUCE CATION

The safety experts look up from their
desks to announce that our automobiles
killed more people in January OF this year
than i'm any other January on record-thus
compelling us to reflect that our greatest
perils these days seem to be the ones we
create for ourselves.
The traffic menace is strictly man.
made affair. There is no immutaole nat
ural law which makes it menace-eX-
cept, possibly, the law that two bodies can
not occupy the same space at the same mo-
ment. Since we created this menace, we
could end it overnight if we chose to do So
But we don't choose. We refuse to give
I'D the driving habits which tragic expert
ence has proved to be dangerous; we re-
fuse, for the most part, to permit our police
10 build an effective system of traffic con-
troll. And so we go on, killing people at
rate that would raise a demonstrating cry
of protest if the deaths were caused by
some plague or pestilence.
It seems TO be mankind's fate in this
modern world to create new dangers Tor
himself as fast as he destroys old ones. The
automobile, which kills the people whom
medical science saves from death by small
box. yellow fever and cholera, is one eX-
ample; on vastly greater scale, war is
another.
Here, again, we face a menace that we
ourselves created. 1t is exactly like the
traffic menace except that it is infinitely
larger. Traffic threatens to kill us indl-
vidually; war threatens to wipe out our
whole civilization.
Suppose some natural force-a strange
new disease, a return of the ice age, or
something equally elemental and beyond
human control-were coming up on the
horizon the way war is coming up; some
thing that babe fair to destroy entire cities
overnight, to inflict the most excruciating
suffering on millions of people, to Kill
women and children by wholesale, to dis
rupt the entire worlds economic and social
mechanisms, and to reduce every great ma
ton on earth to bankruptcy and chaos.
Would there not be the most fanatic,
determined effort by all the nations OF the
world to enlist their best brains, spend to
the limit of their ability, and cooperate
like brothers of the Golden Age, in order
to avert the danger? Would not all quar-
rels, jealousies and suspicious be shelved
until the danger had passed?
The answer is too obvious to need re-
peating; so, too, is the distressing fact that
although danger precisely like the one
described above does threaten the world
and threaten it imminently, we do nothing
whatever to turn it aside. Turn it aside?
We made it ourselves.
In little things and in big things, it's the
same story. We seem to be able to gel
around all our troubles except the ones we
ourselves have called into being.

But with this fact, save in the dreams of Englishmen for another Queen Bess,' all similarities be- tween the two Eli2abeths as chil- dren end
 The Queen who ruled England in it's glorious days of the sixteenth century was a lonely, olose-confined child of three when her mother, Anne Boleyn, died in her youth and beauty on the scaffold on Tower Hill, victim of Henry WITS wrath.
 Her namesake has had the de- voted care of a loving mother all her life, and occasionally for nurse maid a reigning sovereign, Queen Mary, when her parents travelled to the empires outposts as living symbols of the crown when they were merly the Duke and Duchess. of York.
 Taught by Queen Mary
 From the cay of her birth on April 21, 1926, Princess Elizabeth has had all the attention and train- ing which could be accorded Q royal parsonage who one day might rule the British Empire. For this reason she has never stepped inside the schools maintained fer the chil- dren of English aristocrats, receiv- ing her education at home from private tutors. No less an instruc- tor than Queen Mary has she had in department and in diplomatic etiquette and conversation.
 Reading, writing and arithmetic, French and dancing and knitting and attendance at. state functions have been her lot She loves to see soldiers on parade, the changing of the guard at the palace, dropping of the colors, and all the pomp and pageantry of royal life But though she has been closely guarded against contaminating influences, her high spirits and natural imperiousness of manner have been defensive me- chanisms against "stufiiness."
 Finds Arithmetic Hard
 Arithmetic makes her frOWn; she doesn't like it, and in this she is like many another little girl She studes from 9:30 until noon, then goes for a drive after lunch.
