and on sShe liberalism in politics which
Justice Black J-presents." Andrews
said Blacks appointment was mer-
tied by service and party loyalty"
An Associated Press dispatch from
Hamilton, Mont. quoted Representa-
tive j. j. O'Connell of that State in
support of Black. He said:
1T is my sincere hope that when
President Roosevelt finally reforms
the Supreme Court, at least four more
of Supreme Court Justice Hugo Blacks
sterling liberalism will be placed on
the court"
Fight on President.
'It is apparent" he said, that the
present attack on Justice Black comes
from the same Liberty League sources
from which came the fight on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's court proposal with
the same reactionary tories-Wheeler,
Burke. Copeland, Walsh of Massachu-
sets, Byrd, Glass and all of that in
glorious parade-hghting the Presi-
dent Of the United States and the peo-
pie of the United States"
President Roosevelt's projected trip
to the Pacific Coast is expected to
keep him from Washington at the
time OF Justice Blacks return from
Europe and until after Justice Black
has taken his seat on the bench at
the opening of the October term of
the Supreme Court.
There seems to be very definite
hope in administration circles that the
whole matter will blow over, if given
time, and the rumpus over the Black
appointment and the subsequent
charges OF his Klan connection will
die away. The wish, however, seems
to be father to the thought. Demo-
cratic members of the Senate who
opposed the President on his court bill
and who have been slated for political
extinction by the administration forces
are not likely to let the question re-
main idle. They see in it justification
for their stand on the court bill. And
those Democrats who voted against
Blacks confirmation will be just as
strongly opposed to letting the issue
die.
Trip May Affect Action.
How the President fares on his
swing across the country and what he
learns OF sentiment among the peo-
pie may have some effect not only
on the Black matter but also on pro-
posals that Congress be called in
special session before Christmas to
consider unfinished legislation. His
supporters maintain the President will
get a great reception and that he will
learn the voters are still strongly for
him. This may encourage the Presi-
dent to go forward with special ses-
sion.
One thing seems likely, if a special
session is called, the Senate and the
House will be used as sounding boards
to raise again the Klan issue in the
Black appointment unless the matter
has definitely been settled by some
statement from Black.

like to forget grim reality in q
strange tale Of strange people.
County Court" however, is
not too strange to believe. Most
Of it is written in a way that

sophisticated story Of honey
folks.
It's a story about a murder
trial. Captain Jinks, although
he is not on trial is the prin-
Cipal character. Anna Fry is
on trial for the murder Of her
husband. Captain Jinks Is the
orphan wonder Of the county.
Now grown to manhood, he is
the solace and safety valve for
every woman in the county who
comes to him. He knows more
about the facts surrounding the
murder than anyone in the case
and q few Of them know plenty.
At the close Of the trial it
seems like a likely tale well told
and satisfying, but the story still
goes on. There Is more of
Captain Jinks and the other folk
in and around Juliaville until it
closes with a surprise ending.
Webb Fry was shot to death.
His daughter Sue would have
suffered If the truth had come
out and so Captain Jinks took a
