With the HumOrists
TALL STORY

The conversation had changed from one tMhe

so high that it took person at least "a hours 10

HOMES: NOW
AND THEN

build a house large enough. with rooms
enough and baths enough to have all ms
children make their home with him. And
then the children married and went away
leaving a big house with many vacant rooms
The trend today is toward smaller homes.
People don't seem to be building DIG houses
to live in any more.
But what world of comfort and better
living can be packed into the small modern
home that is the fashion now.
Oilburning furnaces. electric refr9era-
ton. instantaneous water heating, indirect
LIGHTING and. now. air conditioning make for
an ease and comfort of living that our an
cestors never dreamed of. And the man IN
town doesn't have to crowd his home on
narrow CITY lot; fast and dependable per-
sonal transportation enables him to go into
the suburbs or on a country road and have
all the room he desires.
There is more comfort and better living
contained within the walls of any modern
bungalow costing around $4,000 today, than
one could find in medieval palace or castle
costing a princes fortune.
Just few years ago the writer paused on
street corner in European city to marvel
at the immensely of royal palace covering
an entire city square and containing more
than a hundred guest rooms. We were III
formed that there wasn't foot of plumb
ing or heating in the whole establishment.
And we are still wondering how the queens
household disposed of the chamber slops.

AFRAID OF
LIGHTNING?

zgzag srcaks of lightning cleaving the
cloud-quilted skies and the crash and rum
bic of thunder drowning the voices of wind
and rain, And yet so many people can not
enjoy the beauty and wonder of an electrical
storm because of an Unborn fear of light
ming. If YOU have that fear, nothing can be
done about it; but do not impart it to your
children or to any children who come within
the pale of your influence.
After all, mortality from lightning is eX-
tremely low. And much electric wiring,
plumbing and the rubber insulated automo-
bile are reducing the dangers from lightning
all the time.
The high-tension power lines and tcle-
phone wires on your street or on the high
way on which you live, and the grounded
plumbing in the house YOU live in, are eff
fective conductors of wild electric currents,
leading them safely into the ground where
they do no harm.
Even the house or outbuilding with a
metal roof, an inviting target for lightning
can be inexpensively insured against light
mig bv the simple trick of attaching wires to
the corners of the metal roof and burying
the ends of the wires in moist earth. And
be sure to fasten the wiring securely to the
framing of YOUR building with metal brads
or staples to keep the neighbours kids from
tearing it loose easily.

CONVICTS is coming back INTO 1aSllloh
again, now that the new chair
man Of the State Highway Commission has
approvcd the temperate and discreet use
Of the lash in controlling unruly prisoners
But how many prison guards III Nortn
Carolina or elsewhere in the South, are cap
able of exercising temperance or dlscreuon
in the flogging of a prisoner, especialiy IL
the prisoner is a Negro?
Take a look at the guards you see stand
inc with rifles over prison labor on our
highways. They are obviously a generally
coarse lot in whom the quality OF humnae-
ness has had little opportunity for develop
ment. In most cases this gentry is recruited
from what the Negroes call "po white
trash" and nothing affords this type more
sadistic satisfaction than laying lash on
the back of a black man.
The only way that flosgins OF prisoners
sbould be invoked should be under the per-
sonal observation of the chairman or dlS-
trict member of the State Highway Com
mission, Let Chairman Dunlap and MEM
bers of the Commission see how the thinS
is done and they would put an end to 1t.

Test of Party Loyalty
Enemies Of Roosevelt Court Proposal to Be Put on
Record for Later Reference

inson In the position OF having to
deliver q Supreme Court bill in the
Senate II he is to get Rooeevelt's in
dorsement for the Van Devanter Job.
Unless Senator Robinson performs to
the Presidents satisfaction, he won't
get the job.
The opponents Of reform have thus
been driven back on the last line OF
defense OF a desperate Tory. They
propose to f1libuster. to consume SO
much time in talk that the judiciary
reform bill will never come to
vote. Here, too, they are being a little
too clever, since Robinson can get
q record vote whenever he wants to
on q motion to restrict debate. This
would give the President the roll cali
he needs to force the Senators to
label themselves as liberals or Tories
with reference to this particular
measure.
do not pretend to know the COL
lective mind of the United States
Senate, but 1t is my belief that the
Burke-Wheeler junta intend to use all
means-fair or foul-to prevent ju-
dicial reform and that they will sue
ceed in postponing the decision until
next year
1t is also my belief that the Roose-
velt forces will Use all possible
political measures to bring the issue to
vote and will rely on the electorate
TO aid in Furnishing those Senators
who violate the principles of democracy
BY denying Congress the opportunity
to vote on this proposed legislation.
I anticipate sustained filibuster
on the Supreme Court plan, filibuster
| which will last until the country is
thoroughly sick Of senatorial obstruc-
| tion, and then a motion to limit de-
bate. This motion will produce a roll
call and the roll call will give the
American people another little list"
for future reference in 1888 and l940
I repeat: What President Roosevelt
wishes is to put his enemies on record
and to rely upon the processes of
democracy to drive Democratic re-
actionaries out of public life as COM
pletely as the Tory Republicans have
already been driven from political
power.

ask themselves why the President OF

press he had not even read the sate-
ments on labor policy issued by two
members of his cabinet.
Gov. Earle's Statement.
Gov. Earle of Pennsylvania had
the correct size-up of the present
situation when he told a mass meet
ing of workers at Johnstown that,
with a President like Mr.. Roosevelt
in the White House and a Governor
like himself at Harrisburg. they didn't
need to resort to violence. 1t is as
if Gov. Earle had said: Depend upon
us to use the militia or any other
power We have to take sides with
you as against the employers-we
don't have to be impartial, We are
on your side, and we'll get you, by
one way or another, what you are
trying to get through violence and
Subverslve methods"
The Earle conception Of govern
ment prevails here and is to be noted
in the one-sided legislation and rul-
ings on labor policy. 1t is not the

BY JAY FRANKLIN,

TINE Robinson amendment to the
Presidents judiciary reform
bill Is the first fruits OF the
4 new technique Of party leader
ship with which the New Dealers pro-
pose to supplant the emergency exer-
else OF personal leadership by the
President.
The original Supreme Court pro-
posals were as badly manhandled As
any major New Deal measure well
could be.
For at least three years 1t had been
apparent that the judicial oligarchy
must be destroyed II the social pur-
poses OF the New Deal we're to be
attained. There was ample historical
precedent for both the court-packing
method and for amending the Consti-
tuition by judicial Interpretation. The
Republican party has successfully
done so ever since 1851. Since Lin
coin there has never been a majority
OF Democratic appointees on the Su-
preme bench, while the nine old men
have played the fourteenth amend
ment like bazooka for the benefits OF
the bankers and manufacturers who
won the Civil War The truth Of
this was revealed by the passionate
outburst when Roosevelt proposed to
repeat the process and to enlarge the
liberal personnel of the Federal courts.
Provisions Too Slick.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Homer Cum
mings, Roosevelts ancient Attorney
General drafted the judiciary reform
plan with such slick Connecticut pro-
visions that it read more like an oil
stock prospectus than social reform.
Unfortunately, Chairman Ashurst OF
the Senate Judiciary Committee gently
rocked the baby to sleep to the tune
OF a narclssus complex and knack
for wisecracks. Unfortunately, cor.
poration lawyer from Omaha and an
ex-liberal with misplaced presidential
ambitions and a lucrative legal prac-
tice among foreign bondholders real
lied that the measure was death tC
their careers Unfortunately, the Sen
ate is packed with corporation lawyers
each of whom fancies himself in long
black robes and with lifetime mea
ticket from the Federal Treasury.
So the original bill languished
Finally Senator Joe Robinson of Arkan.
sas made the President a proposal
He said that he could line up ma
jority of Senate votes for an unspeci.
fed compromise. The White House
refused to commit itself in advance
but was ready to listen. The Burke.
Wheeler team quickly broke into the
| dance Of death, and, with the resig-
nation of Justice Van Devanter, prac-
tically nominated Mr.. Robinson fol
the vacancy on the Supreme Court
They hoped thus to temper his en-.
| thusiasm for judicial reform.
This seems to have been little
too clever, for it has put Senator Rob.
