 TRIP TO EAST
Tells of Styles for Year as Seen in Both Chicago
 and New York

Mrs. Felix Gray returned to Ju- neau aboard the Victoria after her SIX weeks buying tour which took her to Chicago and New York, pur- chasing for the B. M. Behrends, Inc, Go,
 Mrs. Gray spoke of the gorgeous new colors and variety of styles for 1887. Due to the coming coronation, British fabrics, styles and colors are much in evidence. Old fashioned twills, serges, tweeds and cashmeres are as popular as the newer stream line suitings, kasha camels hair and sharkskin.
 There seems to be an endless var iety of styles in mannish tailored two-piece suits and three-piece suits with coat or cape. The jigger and estroller short sport coat in bright colors is extremely stylish and popular, said Mrs. Gray.
 Color Combinations
 Outstanding in dresses are the color combinations of biege with black, gray with white, which are even more popular than the ever navy with white and black with white Jacket suits and bolero dress es are leaders, and buttons from neck to hem.
 skirt lengths are much shorter which include the shorter dinner and afternoon dresses, and there is a shorter ankle length for eve ming dresses. Lace dresses for af- ternoon and evening are most flat tering to the fortunate forties.
 Coronation color such as knights blue, St. James blue, coronation red, and Scottish Thistle Ca new shade) embraces all the different hues from pinky biege to rosy pink.
 "Children's new popular styles feature the tastes of Princess Eliza beth with all the gay colors of Scot tish Moors and English gardens.
 Millinery this spring features smooth straw. More popular than ever is the sailor brim and rolling brim.
 Two accessories matching ir color, but in contrast to your en- semble, should be used. Bags are in standard and coronation colors HandkerchiefS are to match or con- 5rast. Gay flowers in all colors and varieties are being shown. Costume ewelry, pins and clips, will again be worn Along the glove line there is nothing so new or smart as the wrist length glove in most any shade to match or contrast the ensemble Simplicity is the keynote and color the charm"

 WASHINGTON, Mar. 3.-Ulysses S. Grant was the last President who differed with the Supreme Court on a major issue and carried the day.
 Soldier though he was, Grant used the arts of peace to beat down op- position in the high tribunal to the famous postwar legal tender acts.
 The trick appeared to be simple enough. A couple of friendly nom- inees for vacancies and an agreeable congress paved the way.
 In February 1870, before the va cancies were filled, the Supreme Court decided, in effect, that green backs were not legal tender. On the very Gay of the decision President Grant nominated Joseph P. Bradley of New Jersey and Will liam Strong of Pennsylvania. rail- road attorneys, and both nomina- tions immediately were confirmed by the senate.
 Grant Wins His Point
 The question of the constitution ality of the greenbacks again was lraised and within Is months green backs were held constitutional by the added votes of the new appoin- tees in their favor.
  Grant packed the court" oppon- ents yelled, and the phrase pack ing the court" still crops up. | Six decades passed after Grant

Presidents US. Supreme Court;
 Atfnck Cost '. R. Another Term

beat back the Supreme Court be- fore President Roosevelt slapped morse and buggy label on judi 1 cial opinion.
 But before that mild epithet Mas flung from the White House. an- other Roosevelt, who had been President and wanted the job again, proposed to clip the Supreme Courts wings. He wanted to give to the voters the one power the judi ciary has insisted on from the days of Washington and Jefferson. That was the right of judicial review = i the last word.
 Roosevelt Strikes Judiciary l AS President, Theodore RooSe- welt was a frequent and caustic critic of judicial interpretations of the constitution, both federal and state. But the heaviest impact of his striking personality and great popular following fell against the judiciary after he left the White House.
 On the same day that he de- clared in Cleveland that his hat was in the ring for the Republican Presidential nomination of 1912 against President Taft, Colonel Roosevelt advocated before an Ohio constitutional convention the recall of judicial opinions.
 T very earnestly ask you clearly to provide in this constitution, he said. means which will !. :. per- init the people themselves by pop ular vote finally and without appeal to settle what the proper construction of any constitutional point is
 Each (judge) must follow his conscience, even though to do so cost him his place. But in their turn the people must follow their conscience, and when they have definitely decided on given poll |cv they must have public servants who will carry out that policy" Colonel Beats Himself
 It was on the heels of that speech that Theodore Roosevelt launched his candidacy to defeat President Taft for renomination.
 It was because of that speech that he lost the previously certain support of such Republican stall warts as the late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, dominating figure in Massachusetts Republican politics. The Massachusetts delegation was equally divided at the convention between Taft and Roosevelt.
 Had it gone to Roosevelt as unit. as Lodge had intended until he read the Ohio speech. Colonel Roosevelt's nomination would haze been assured.
 In the judgment of party leaders at the time, Colonel Roosevelt was lcertain of election if nominated on the Republican ticket. His bolt to the Progressive party insured Taft's defeat and Woodrow Wilson's cleo ton. But for his Ohio declaration for recall of judicial opinions, the subsequent course of American his tory might have been changed.
 The New Deal fight for a "hh- eral' interpretation of the constj- tuition being waged by Democratic President Roosevelt might have been fought under the square deal banner raised by his distant kinsman, the Republican President Roosevelt.
