The American Institute of Pub
lie Opinion, which conducted a
successful poll indicating the re.
SUITS of the Presidential election,
reports that it finds 80 percent
of the people against the Presi-
dent, 3S percent for his plan and
% percent for some modification.
1t finds, however, that Democrats
opposed to the Court plan are
practically unanimous in saying
they would vote for the President
again and in the nation at large
reports that his standing with the
publci has moved up from the
62.5 percent that he got in No
vember to 65.5 percent today.
While this poll shows his popular
ity undiminished, his percentage
has slumped slightly since the
Supreme Court proposal was an
nounced.

The Presidents radio addresses

delay which viii be dangerous.
His power with the peope is great
and his open resort to an appeal
to them to demonstrate their sup

favorable action is not relished by
foes who know what it implies.
Backed by what he believes is the
overwhelming confidence of the
people and their order to accom-
plish the enactment of remedial
legislation, Mr.. Roosevelt reads
the fight, taking the risk that de-

! Bar Associations carry much
weight with the lay mind.

"A by-product Of the Court fight
has been the resurgence Of Repub-
lican hope that, at last, an issue
has been discovered that will lead
them to green pastures in 1888 and
1910. They may be right, regard

ends. As long as there is bar

the President has an abb for any

If this barrier is removed there is
nothing to bar his program, which
must then succeed in accomplish

New Deal orators. If they mature,

Republicans feel sure they will,

Incidentally. months ago we sng-

Another veteran comes to mind
in the person of Senator George
w. Norris, of Nebraska, who is
rounding out long career in the
House and Senate as his thirty
fifth year of legislative service
begin. His courage under fire
stood the acid test of war hysteria
and he saw himself, and others,
denounced as traitors for his tao
tics in the filbustering against
the EARNED neutrality" bill of
President Wilson. He moved from
the House to the Senate about a
quarter of a century ago after
leading the parliamentary revo-
luton which stripped Uncle Joe
Cannon of Czarlike power in the
House in 1910. He has been a
liberal, an advocate of power re-
form, the author of the lame
duck amendment to the Constitu-
ton and advocates a more equit-
able d 'stribution of wealth. He is
convinced that the power of the
judiciary must be curtailed but
does not especially like the Presi-
dents plan and will lead a con-

Various state legislative bodies
have passed resolutions on the
proposal. A summary of thesa
show that fifteen have been fay-
orable and eleven unfavorable. In
getting these totals, a vote declin-
ing to take action for, or against
the plan has been recorded as an
indication for opposite sentiment.
The Delaware House and Senate
split, the former being for and the
latter being against. In Maine and
Massachusetts, both housese were
against; in Connecticut, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Kansas
Georgia and Texas, one house
voted against. In Colorado, Indi-
ana, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma
both houses were for; in Illinois,
Ohio, South Carolina, West Vir-
ginia, Washington and Wyoming,
one house was for.
Now then, suppose the reader
asks himself what this writer
thinks? Our answer, for what il
is worth, is due, no doubt, to those
who want it but with this under
standing, that the writer expresses
no personal opinion as to the plan
itself but only as to the probable
outcome of the present fight. Re-
gardless of what form it takes,
the President will be the winner
if he accomplishes his purpose,
which is to bring the Court into
harmony with his political, eco
nomic and social philosophy. In
our opinion, he will have his way
through some device or other. This
people of the nation are not con-
cerned with forms and ceremonies
They want results and they be
lieve that the President will gel

Court is not as popular as many

Early this month Senator Borah,
of idaho, rounded out thirty
years of service in the Senate,
which began on March A, 1907, in
the Sixt.eth Congress, which had
so Republicans and 29 Democrats
in the upper house. He has fol-
lowed an independent course, dur
ing which great changes have
come. over the nation, but. unlike
other Progressives, the Idahoan
has maintained something like
party regularity. Today he is in
the fight against the Presidents
court plan, years ago he flayed
Wilson's League of Nations and in
between be espoused the Prohibir
Ton amendment. He has seldom
been in accord with any Presi-
dents full program, whether it
was Taft, Wilson, Hoover or
Roosevelt, and often during the
campaign years he has found the
sidelines attractive. Nevertheless,
he has had the courage of his con-
victions, the sincerity of his prin-
-ciples and an attractive and intel
ligent personality to build him
self ito figure of not only ma
tional but at times, of world inn
portance. His integrity has never
been impeached and his service
to the nation important.

Two years behind the Idahoan
in length of Senate service stands
the States Rights exponent from
South Carolina, Senator E. d..
Smith, who went to Congress in
1909 and now finds himself on the
outer edge of the Roosevelt forces
which dominate his party. He de-
clares that in his service he has
never knowingly deviated from
three cardinal principles: States
Rights from a. Southern stand
point, white supremacy and tariff
for revenue on.y. He resented the
presence of a Negro minister at
the last Democratic convention,
regards with suspicion many of
the Roosevelt enterprises and has
had only small part in the rec
ord of his party during the past
four years. Undoubtedly sincere
in his principles, he has lined up
against the Supreme Court re-
form plan of the President, in
spite of the fact that he comes up
for reelection next year in a State
that gave Mr.. Roosevelt the larg-
est percentage of its votes of any
commonwealth.

CUBS-YANKEES LOOK SET FOR
 WORL. ) SERIES
Giants Given Best Chance to Upset Red Sox Vic-
 tory Row to Thirteen
(By Associated Press)

All over the baseball map they're climbing aboard the bandwagon for a Yankee Cub World Series; which looks like a good guess There are lots of applecarts that yet may be upset, but right now, none of them are ill sight.
 The Giants, who have the habit of riding along within shooting distance until the last few weeks, then going to town, look like the best bet. The Giants pitchers, who were collapsing at the rate of one a day less than two weeks ago, must have gotten shots in the arms, the way they have been per- forming lately.
 Bill Terry's club has a long way to go though, as the Cubs have a five and one-half game lead, after taking a double header from the Bees. The Giants got an even break with the Pirates.
 The Tanks are nine and one half games ahead in the American loop, despite a pitching staff that is shot full of holes, There's noth- ing wrong with their hitters though, and they look like a cinch. The Red Sox are in second place after having stretched their current un- defeated run to thirteen.

Among every family's cherished recipes are some for tomato pre- serves. Below are four recipes one each for yellow, green and red tomatoes and the other "old-fashioned" Each has been tested by at least two gen. erations of housewives.
