NEW YORK, February IA letter

Richard B. Morris of the College Of
New York, regional director Of the
Federal archives survey, as final proof
that Britain was actively aiding the
Confederacy in the Civil War.
Sent on March S. 1862, by the Eng

j. M. Mason. commissioner of the
Confederate States of America" 1t re-
lated the contract terms for providing
the Alabama and other ships to new

TN the event Of the Confederate
government requiring these steamers
for purposes other than conducting OPP
erations of warlike nature against
me British government, they are to be
at liberty to charter the same or any
Of them, on the same terms as the
Cunard Co. contract to do with her

N 1OT SINCE the early days Of
nj N. r. A. has there been such
a rush of corporation lawyers
to Washington. Grave and
dapper, with brief cases, expense &C
counts and veneration for the Con-
stitution, they leaped as though stung
by hornets last Friday and glided
into the Nations Capital by plane and
train. It looks like an alfresco meet
ing Of the bar association as the law
yers' union goes to work at lobbying
against the judiciary bill.
This column fnds their anxiety a
little silly, so far as it concerns the
threat to pack" the Supreme Court
with six New Deal justices. The Su-
preme Court Is like brides valise-
it doesn't stay packed very long. From
time to time our Presidents have sent
the court of with a lovely going
away" costume only to find that its
judicial demeanor in its secondary
dress" is dsconcertingly independent.
So long as the court retains the
poWer-if not the constitutional right
to declare Federal laws unconstitu-
tional, this must remain the case. This
power means that the court is deep in
politics, for the ultimate right to de-
ternine the law is the essence of po-
litical power. And when, as here. this
power Is buttressed by the support Of
all the organized corporate wealth Of
the United States. 1t Is no fragile thing.
pnIifiroI inritial and hIIf
United States Steel and Standard Oil
90 on forever.
By appointing six new Justices,
President Roosevelt might reasonably
expect to validate some Of the basic
New Deal proposals-N. r. A., A. A. A,
Social Security, T. v. A. and labor leg
islation-but once these are settled, he
would find. as other Presidents have
found. that the Supreme Court rolls
its own policy in the long run.
Far from being alarmed by the pres
ent proposals, the legal fraternity
ought to thank their stars that Mr..
Roosevelt took the least radical course
open to him and did not trench upon
the Supreme Courts real power or
upon the Constitution as now inter-
preted by "the nine old men,"
Where the lawyers should be
alarmed, however, is over the distinct
chance that all Of the new members
Of the court will not be lawyers.
Assistant Attorney General Bob
Jackson's recent New York speech
dropped the suggestion that there
was no constitutional reason why only
lawyers should become Supreme Court
justices. This very important hint
for Mr.. jackson would scarcely speak
without approval from his superiors-
passed almost unnoticed at the time.
There IS, moreover, a growing be-
lief that the general public and the
interests of the people should be rep
resented on the Supreme Court as
well as Wall Street and the legal pro.
fession. This principle Is already re.
flected in the Federal Reserve Board,
which is no longer composed exclu-
sively Of bankers. So it is easy to
guess the spot where the next presi.

ANCIENT PICTURE
OF FOOTBALL TEAM
First High School Eleven Organ
lied In 1896-Played Without
Coach and Had Fair Season

Oscar Nelson, of Minneapolis,
was in Sank Centre Friday, and
while here displayed a picture Of
the first High School football
team. This team was organized
and played through the season Of
1896. Mr.. Nelson secured the pic
ture from his sister, Mrs. P. J.
Nelson, Of Clarissa. The team con-
sisted Of the following players: o.
B. Nelson, Leo Scherfius, Bert Van
Camp, Frank Mccormick. Bob
Carr, Walter Gray, Ray Robbins,
Charles Kusba, Will johnson, Har-
ry Lord and Ray Dean. Bud Lewis
was the mascot. Also in the picture
were r. e. Hansen, manager of
the team, August Dahlem, secre-
tary, and Fred jacob. who donat-
ed the uniforms. Mr.. jacob will be
remembered by the older residents
as one Of the city's early clothiers.
The picture is interesting and Mr..
Nelson says the only one in exist
ence. Mr.. Nelson is a brother of
Mrs. H. w. Bishop. Of this city. He
stated also that the team had no
coach and that they played the
game insofar as they were able to
learn its rudiments among them
selves.
