shown by many episodes in its
history; and their independence
was evinced by the justices Of
the court within three years
after the Inauguration Of the
first court, when, in August,
1898, they made 1t plain that
they would not render any de-
CisiOn or give any judicial Opin-
ion even to the President, I'M
less in an actual case Iitigated
by parties before them as q
court .. They refused, very
firmly though respectfully, to
render to President Washington
an advisory opinion which he
had sought from them on the
complicated questions then arts
ing out of the neutral attitude
Of the United States in the war
between Great Britain and
France.

CONVINCING EVIDENCE
And when the Federalist leader,
James A. Bayard, in a case in.
Volving one of the measures
strongly supported by the admin
iStration Of President Adams, at
tempted to read his instructions
constituting the statute, Mr.. Justice
Chase, a strong supporter Of
Adams, declared that he was al.
ways opposed to hearing the in.
structionS Of the executive in such
matters because IF they go no
further than the law they are un-
necessary; if they exceed it, they
are not warranted"
President after President has
found his nominees to the SUI
preme Court ruling against his adj
miniStration and nominees OF
Presidents of the opposite party
deciding in its favor.
Thus on the eve of the com
mencement of the Sesquicentennial
Celebration of the adoption of the
Federal Constitution Congress and
the people have been afforded
new and convincing evidence that
the Supreme Court of the United
States is what the Trainers Of the
Constitution intended it to be:
INDEPENDENT OF PARTY;
INDEPENDENT OF POWERS
INDEPENDENT OF POPULAR
ITY; NDENT OF
PRESIDENTS; INDEPENDENT
OF POLITICS."

CURE.ALL

Out Of the weeks of grinding out
answers to begging letters from
constituents, a secretary on the
Hill has been forced to turn to
verse to express himself.
Here are few verses from a
poem entitled: "The Political
Cure-All." It has been mimeo
graphed and passed around the
Capitol carrying only the sigma
ture by a Secretary"
eff you can not sleep at night
And your heads Affecting light
Call on Congress.
If your chickens have the pip,
Or your panties start to rip
Call on Congress.
If your hens refuse to lay,
Or the children fight at play
Call on Congress.

And you find yourself in need,
There's but one way to proceed

Call on Congress, keep it up,

Holding out a beggar's cup

In the light Of the epochal de-
cisions Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States recently handed
down, the people may see for them
selves that the independence Of
the great tribunal is unimpaired.
AS long ago as 1901 at dinner
given in the Federal City toast
was offered, the timeliness Of
which is emphasized by the Su-
preme Court as it exists today.
Here was the toast:
"The judiciary Of the United
States-independent Of party;
Independent Of power; and indie
pendent Of popularity"
And Mr.. Charles Warren, in his
scholarly book on Congress, The
Constitution and The Supreme
Court" remarks that to this toast
might we'll have been added-"irl-
dependent Of presidents; and indie
pendent Of politics"
Not Illogical
Take, for example, the case OF
Mr.. Justice Cardozo who read the
decision upholding the constitu-
tionality Of the Federal Social Sc.
curity Act. He was nominated for
the great tribunal by a Republican
President-Mr. Hoover. SO were
Mr.. Chief Justice Hughes and Mr..
Justice Roberts. President Coo
lidge nominated Mr.. Justice Stone,
These, together with Mr.. Justice
Brandeis, constituted the majority
in this important case and he was
nominated by President Wilson, a
Democrat.
But President Wilson'S other
nominee to the Supreme Court.
as 1t now exists, was his Attor'
ney General-Mr. Justice Nc
Reynolds-who dissented in this
great case, as did Mr.. Justice
Butler and Mr.. Justice Suther
land who were nominated by
President Harding, and Mr.. Jus
tice Van Devanter who was nom
mated by President Taft.
But President Taft also riomi
mated to the Court Mr.. Hughes
as an Associate Justice. And
after an interim in private life
he was restored to the Court as
Chief Justice by a succeeding
President, Mr.. Hoover.
There Is nothing illogical In
all this. It Is simply history re
peating itself. the history of the
Great Tribunal from the begin
ming of the Government.
And Mr.. Warren. the authori
tative biographer Of the Great
Tribunal, in commenting upon Its
unbroken record Of independence
says:
'"That the court has, from
the outset, proved itself to be
fully as ready to curb the PreSi.

NO ARGUMENT

AS for the Indians the Repre-
sentative is SO interested in, a lit
tie incident when the circus was
in town proves that they are in
every way capable Of taking care
of themselves.
One Indian chief in full regalia
stood before a large crowd putting
on a snake act. The only thing
he did, however, was to reach in a
box, take out a snake and let it
wiggle a while and put it back.
There was a group from the
Capitol around him, including
several with Indian blood and
larger number of pure whites. One
of the white men didn't think he
got his moneys worth and re-
marked that it looked like pretty
lame show to him. He'd been
rocked, in other words.

It is the deep Illustration Of a
situation like this which makes
us turn to building up our Navy
and air forces, like other nations
who know that war is the dead-end
of a failing world economy. Eng

Significant is the cheer which goes
up there when we lay out a new

lands approval of our commercial
outreach in the Pacific. Our Navy
would be an excellent auxiliary
police force for England in the
Far East.

national statecraft, is becoming
the focus of these activities which
have to do, primarily, not with
diplomatic punctilio, but with
money.
Say what you will, or believe
what you will about the war talk
and the ornaments everywhere in
the world, there is, under the sur
face, a reforming and reShaping Of
the trade intercourse of the ma
lions, as the one hopeful curative
and preventive of the war mania.
Cordell Hull, Secretary of State,
has advanced rational and reStora-
tive trade relationships as the
one most definite, inSistLnt policy
of his regime, regardless OF
whether or not this emphasis Is
within the traditions Of the depart
ment.
Quietly, with no flare in the
newspapers, his department has
sent trade scouts, emissarieS and
negotiators throughout the world.
wherever or whenever there has
been a possible build-up for Amer
lean goods. There is being trained
in the State Department a new
type of commercial envoy-not a
high pressure salesman, but a
skilled investigator who car report
intelligently on trade opportuni-
ties.
A REVIVED MARKET
1t was just a few months ago
that new Chinese unity and a sud-
den new stimulus toward national
reconstruction flashed the posi-
bility of China as a revived mar
ket for American raw materials
and fabricated goods. There was
printed a dispatch about England
alertness in scouting this field,
and there followed some editorial
comment about our backwardnesS
in such enterprises.
The editorial writers did not
know that, right along with Eng
land, we had landed in Shanghai
pair of shrewd and experienced
trade ENJOYS and we we're right
out in front, in looking into
China's needs for bridges, rail-
roads, locomotives, construction
materials and machinery. China
has a vast rebuilding program
Staked out. We are out for our cut
of the business.
TraditionalistS may cry that
this is just some more govern
ment- in.busineSs stuff, but the
fact is that every government in
the world is showing out into the
trade stream. The international
ism of the League of Nations wasnt
our dish. This may be. Along
with the minor but overt CONNER
cialism of Britain's Coronation
circus, there has been an empire

and in the outgivings of transient
statesmen, there has been much
exalted utteranceS about hands
across the sea and peaceful pro-
ductive and creative endeavor
among the nations. That's all to
the good; but the simple fact is
that England--and there's the
dominant trade force in the world
has made no specific conceS-
sions to Secretary Hull's advances
toward reciprocity. England's re-
constructive efforts are Self'con'
tanned in the British empire.
The three.way money stabilize
ton agreement with England and
France stirred up a flare Of hope
all over the world. Here was an
understanding that seemed Spe
cific and that promised to loosen
the credit log-jam. But about all
a layman can make out Of 1t Is
that it keeps on sluicing gold into
this country, which we have to
buy at a high price and stow away
in a hole in the ground in Ken
lucky, as our money is ster1nZeo
rather than put to work.
On at least three separate &C
casions, America, through Secre
tary Hull, has made earnest pleas
for a British trade agreement In
which there would be some rea.
concessions and a genuinely CO
operative effort to get goods and
raw materials flowing again-the
one proven antidote to war. These
opportunities have yielded exactly
nothing. England'S lon grange
trade prospectus is unqueStionablJ
an empire plan.
Unless there is some rapproche
ment, for which Secretary HUI
eagerly strives, we will be just
where we were in 1912 and 1913
headed hell-for-leather for another
trade and credit jam, and another
war.

 It at Capitol Tonight

Hollywood has brought a new type of leading man to the screen in the form of the 'bashfuf' hero, and the women of the world seem to have accepted this type with en- thusiasm.
 And so James Stewart, as the rep resentative of the "bashful' type, is added to the "rough-and- ready Clark Gables, the ''suave" William Powells, the "flippant" Robert Montgomerys and the "dashing" Robert Taylors.
 ''The meek shall inherit the earth" seems to be proving true in the case of Stewart
 He has worked with practically every important feminine star in Hollywood, at their request. Among those who have asked for his ser vices are Jeanette Macdonald, My rna Loy, Janet Gaynor and Mar garet Sullavan. His latest appear ance in Born To Dance" is due to the fact that Eleanor Powell de- manded that he be her leading man.
 The final performance of Born To ance" will be seen tonight.

Quantity, Quality
 Of Tourists Better. States KaShevarOff.

Even more tourists than last year have signed their names in the record book at the Territorial mu- scum, this summer, the Rev. A. P. Kasheyaroff announced this morn ing, adding that strictly off record is his additional statement that the quality as well as the quantity of tourists is improving.
 T have had hardly a foolish ques- tion all summer" the Rev. Kashe- varoff remarked. No one has asked me how often we skin our fox, or how cold the ice worms are, or any of the questions we have grown to expect"
 Just why the change has come about, the Rev Kashevaroff is at 2 loss to explain, but he feels the increased amount of information being published about the Territory is probably responsible.

Comedian in Wives Never Know Closing Tonight,
 Coliseum, Says It's Great

Although there are a lot of peo- pie who object to being made the butt of joke, there is really a good deal of pleasure in the realization that you are making people laugh
 once you gain the right perspec- tive. And if that isn't reward enough, moving picture funny peo- pie last longer than any other type of player and, in the long run, make the most money.
 So says Charlie Ruggles, for thir- ty years a funny man on stage and screen and more popular today than he ever was. The noted comedian, who co-stars with Mary Roland again in Wives Never Know" de- lightful comedy of errors in the household of a happily married cou- pie which closes tonight at the Col iseum theatre, also claims that there are many things which straight" has to watch which is of no concern to a comedian.
 "A comedian" he says, doesn't have to be good looking. He doesn't have to watch his weight. He can grow bald if he wants to. The fun ny women don't have to watch their weight nor their figures and they last much longer than the pretty pretty stars who light up the movie Armament in a blaze of glory and disappear as suddenly as they ap- peared."

With the Giants opening a thir- teen-game swing through the West and the White Sox opening tour of the East, pressure in both major league races is definitely upon the secondplace outfits.
 In their effort to get back into the lead, the defending champion Giants face the Cardinals, with a two-game margin separating them from the leading Cubs. With a five-game gap between them and the Yankees, the White Sox opened a three-game series in Washington.
