Unworthy of Washington.
1--WE should leave personalities and

we do not discuss it on it's merits.

SAYS COURT PLAN
TOO MUCH POWER
Democratic Congressman
Pettengill Says 1t Repu-
dates Platform

indianapolis. Feb. 23.--Congressman
Samuel 3. Pettensill. democrat, OF
South Bend, at a mass meeting today
called by n local citizens committee,
reiterated and amplified his rply of
last week to the resolution of the
emocratic-controlled Indiana legisla-
ture requesting the States Senators
and Representatives to support Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Supreme Court pro-
posal
Mr.. Pettengill in part said
"In his Farewell Message to the
American people, upon his retirement
from the Presidency in 1896, George
Washington said that there was no
danger more threatening to the future
of our government than the spirit Of
intense partizanship which causes
men to close their minds to the ac-
tual merits of great public questions.
He emphasized this thought in the
strongest possible terms.
This warning is particularly inn
portant now with respect to the Presi-
dents request for power to appoint
six new judges to the United States
Supreme Court-which is, in effect, to
create a new court.
A Democrats Duty.
"This is one of the greatest ques-
tions ever presented for public debate.
In it partizanship has no place. Re
publicans who favor it should support
it. Democrats, on the other hand, who
do not favor the proposal have not
only a citizens right but a party duty
to oppose it.
THE conscience Of no one is bound
on this matter 1t is not party ques-
ton. No party has declared for it by
either convention or caucus. 1t was in
fact proposed with the knowledge of
no more than five persons and with
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-02-23

out consulting a single party leader
in either house of Congress.
"The majority party, of which 1 am
member. in its Philadelphia plat
form went before the people in the
1886 campaign on the pledge to seek
such clarifying amendment as might
be necessary to enable the States and
the Congress, each within its proper
Jurisdiction to take appropriate &C
ton with respect to present-day pro-
hlenlS
That clearly meant that the Amer
lean people would be given second
opportunity to consider, outside of the
heat of a political campaign, such
clarifying amendments as might be
proposed so that they could ether vote
them up or down.
This definite party commitment is
now repudiated within ninety days Of
the election. 1t is now said that the
amendment process is too slow. AttOr-
ney General Cummings now calls the
very course the party pledged itself
to the strategy of delay and the last
resOrt of those who desire to prevent
any action whatever
Party Platform Repudiated.
This is indeed a strange impeach-
ment of the good faith of our party
platform. A cabinet member of the
Democratic party not only repudiates
a platform pledge 3ut brands it as
the strategy of delay and the last
resort of obstruction!sts. In the light
of the fact that the pending proposal
was not presented to the convention
for consideration, it must be plain
that every member of the Democratic
party has as much right to oppose
this measure now as he would have
had as a member of the national or
any state or district party convention
or its committee on resolutions if it
had then been presented for accep-
lance or rejection
"On the other hand, partizan loyalty
toward the Republican party is also
entirely ont of place. No member of
that party is under any duty to OPP
pose the present plan if he otherwise
thinks we'll of it,
"All of this talk that the President |
wants to become a Hitler or Mus
solini is entirely out of place. While
I think he has been badly advised in
this matter, his good faith his desire
to serve the country ought to be free

 Jeopardizing Colony
 "The Territory cannot afford to jeopardize the work of these peo- pie and the prospect of getting other funds for other development in other places in the Territory by failing to grant the relatively small amount needed to carry on this transportation for the Palmer school children.
 Tt has been said that the Mat anuska Colony and those interest ed are making a mountain out of mole hill here in connection with this matter It is apparent that the situation is a lot more than a mole hill, but whether or not it is, no matter how it was built, the noun tain is there and it is up to the Territory to remove it from the path of progress.

In many cases the lads who earn fame by their deeds as big league freshmen find going tou3h as soph- omores. The explanation is diff cult. Perhaps the boys let up once they feel they have made the grade. Chances are their weaknesses have been tabled by the veterans.
 Last season was particularly bad for the freshman stars of 1885. Cy Blanton had terrible time early in 1886. The same fellow won 20 games for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and led the National League in effective ness when he was the prise rookie pitcher of 1885. Cy could not ex- plain his failures. He seemed to have everything he had had the year before plus experience. Yet he couldn't win. The answer probably rested with the swatters, who had grown to know his style and his failings.
 Blanton wasn't alone. Clyde Cas- tleman of the New York Giants didn't look anything like the pitcher he was the year before. Neither did Roy Henshaw Ed Heusser, Fa- bian Kodalik, Gene Schott and Or vile Jorgens.
 In The American. Too
 In the American League the sophomore hurlers who had made names for themselves as freshmen had their own troubles. Johnny whitehead of the White Sox, Yer non Wiltshire of the As, Joe Sul- livan of the Tigers-all failed to live up to their freshman promise.
 Phil Cavaretta of the Chicago Cubs slumped, and Charlie Grimm took over first base. Manager Grimm was so convinced that Phil was a flash in the pan that he got Jim Collins from the Cardinals to take care of the first-base job this com- ing season. Alex Kampouris and Billy Myers did not live up to their freshman standard. Lew Riggs of the same infield had good and bad days. Terry Moore, Roy Hughes, Mel Armada had difficulties as sophomores.
 Let This Be A Lesson!
 All of which should serve as a warning to the outstanding rockies of 1886. Joe Di Maggie came up with the Yankees last spring pre- ceded by unprecedented ballyhoo. He made good in spite of all the advance attention, as his batting record of 323 for 138 games indi- cates. He hit 29 home runs. Roy Weatherly of the Indians started as though he were going to win the American League batting title. His stickwork fell off, but he still had an average of .335 for 84 games.
