ed that the Port, by mandate Of
law and the public interest, is OPP
Grated as a strictly non-partisan
institution"
Farley said that when elected
to such non-partisan office, a man
is honor bound to administer 1t in
a non-partisan way. That's what
the law means-and that's what
I have religiously done. The peo-
pie want their port commissioners
to tend strictly to port business
rather than to be playing political
football with this SIS. 900, 900 in

1T SO happens that a recent

about the port being "a Republican

She was Mrs. Jullstte Gordon
Low. OF savannah Georgia. and
the English couple We're Sir Rob-
ert 3 adea-Powe and his sister.
They introduced Mrs. Low to the
newly formed Girl Guide troops Of
England, and she enthusiastically
transplanted the movement to
America, and dedicated herself to
the task Of making It flourish in
its new soil.
She started the first American
troops in Savannah, her home city.
in 1912 and called them Girl Gui-
des, like their English sisters. But
the girls stepped in American ira
ditions soon asked that the name
be changed to Gin Scouts. A year
after the first troop was estab-
nshed Mrs. Low threw all her en-
ergies into developing the move
ment into one Of national scope.
She bullied and cajoled her friends,
newspaper men, equipment manu-
facturers. girls, young women, and
others who could assist the young
organization. Her vision Of the
human possibilities Of the move
ment and her own energy and
charm were so compelling, that
the Girl Scouts grew not only rap
idly. but strongly. Fired by the
fine qualities Of tho idea itself, and
by Mrs. Lows own enthusiasm
and example, women all over the
country began training themselves
for leadership in the steadily form
ing Girl Scout troops. Mrs. Low
dashed from conference to confer
ence, from city to city, from Am
erica to England, carrying with
her always her dream of an inter-
national Girl Scout movement. and
her determination that fine women
everywhere should take part in it.
IN all the CONFUSION Of plans and
organization, however she never
lost sight Of her ideal. that Girl
Scouting should be a movement
which gave to the girls the adj
vantages Of outdoor life and inter
ests. and Of character developed
through contact and cooperation
with other girls.
Mrs. LOWS dream of an inter
national Girl Scout council was
realized in 1919. The council was
formed with representatives from
thirtv-two countries. In 1926 the
Girl Scouts Of the United states
were hostesses at a World Camp,
At which delegates from all the
countries were present. This was
Mrs. Lows dearest hone. and it
was almost a personal tribute to
her that It was accomplished. as
the difficulties seemed insuperable.
Two entir camps were built for
the occasion. in Briarcliff Manor,
New York. and both the camps
and the encampment were ire
mendouslv successful.
The world Camp came none too
soon. In 1927 Mrs. Low died. gal
liant and charming to the last, OF
an a~ffliction which she had suf-
fered for many years. with her
the girls Of the United States lost
ore Of their most devoted champ
ions.

Quite evidently the idea is to fill
the places of the six who are past
seventy or to add six members to
make all decisions fall his way,
whether or not it would be Consti-
tutional I sincerely believe that
there would be no complaining if
these measures were brought about
In a Constitutional way, but it is
also evident that the administra-
ton is afraid that they can not get
the measures by relying on the judy
n1ent of the sane portion of the
people. 3~
We want a government of the
people, by the people, and for the

compilations to many of Washing
tons ID. O. half-ti1ne residents.
Many of our Senators are nowadays
attempting to avoid the hang-dog
look which comes from the refer
ence that if the Presidents Court
Bill is passed, these austere Senat-
ors will become rubber stamps
It is thus supposed by the rubber
stamp chalmers that the Senate will
cautiously turn it's back when the
President proposes his additions.
Thus they infer, if the President ap-
points political stooges, the Senate
will approve the nominations, what
ever the calibre of nominees.

sues In regard to the proposed jul
dietary reform have not been
brought before the people. Inter
ests subversive to the present adj
r1inistration have made this issue
target at which to shoot down Pres
ident Roosevelt.
The President, on the other hand,
is thinking about the best interests
of the people. They nearly imam
imously approved of his program il,
November. Encouraged, he plans
to continue the reforms which have
brought business and salaries from
depression stagnation. The AAA
farm refornl) and bte MIRA (labor
reforrD were rendered useless by
the Supreme Court. But why?
The founders OF oia- / great 6soaa-3
stitution were aware of the original
OF the problem that faces us today.
They discussed whether the Supreme
Court should have the Authority to
rule oil acts Of Congress. It is Of
ten declared that, since the Supreme
Court was not expressly given this
power, such authority, now held by
that Court, has been usurped
AS matter of fact, the Supreme
Court judges cannot agree on this
point. When a matter involving
Constitutionality comes before the
Court, they debate the authority of
the Court to decide upon it, The
issues-as, whether the AAA was
beneficial are secondary points Of
interest If any.
Many Congressman believe it is
if1coniprehensible that nine men,
not responsible to the people, should
rule on the legislation enacted by
over 500 Representatives and SEN,
ators. The word dictatorship" as
now used derogatively against the
President, becomes laughable when
contrasted with the power now held
by the fifth majority Judge in a 5
to decision. It is this fifth Judge
who is the supreme dictator of the,
American democracy. He is neither
answerable to the people nor check
ed by the Senate.
The Presidents suggested cure Is
not a permanent one, nor does 1t
endanger the Constitution. He seeks
authority previously granted to Ave
Presidents who altered the number
of Supreme Court judges. He wishes
to use this authority to continue
