!" Where with our
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

One of these days somebody is GO
ing to write song about the courts.
It's a job for Gilbert and Sullivan,
if only there were any more Gilbert
and Sullivan.
The courts have let themselves in
for it.
In way it's too bad. The courts
ought to have nothing but respect.
The courts ought to be clothed in dig
nifty dignity, earned and Gre
ated by conduct.
Butt hasn't been that way-not
enough, anyway.
And now the whole country snick-
ers just little when the supreme
court reverses itself on minimum
wages.
1t can't help snickering just little.
And people say to their neighbors
that Roosevelt is right about the
question.
The last thing dictators and
judges can survive is snickering.
The minute pomposity gets laugh
ed at, that minute it is through,
as far as respect is concerned.
1t may have power, but not re-
spect.
Of course this reversal could be g
magnificent example of courage, but
the court didn't say so, and of course
people can't take it for granted.
In Italy nobody could say out louc
what Americans are saying today
about the supreme court-and lo
Of other and lesser courts. The die
tator wouldn't let EN-. But they prob
ably are thinking about the same kint
of thoughts.
There's an old saying, "You can
arrest me for thinking
But here, people are saying plenty
out loud.
Senator Wagner said plenty in tn
senate the other day
Millions applauded, because Senate
Wagner was putting their thought
into words.
When you can put the thoughts
of the millions into words better,
than they can themselves, then
you get applause, and the ap-
.plause tells you what the people
! would like to say.
That's partly how democracy make
decisions.
The die-hards are telling US tn
president can't get his program
through.
The die hards thought they coul
elect Landon.
The die hards are full of prun
juice, wishful thinking and froze
ideas.
There probably will never be an
record Of why the supreme court fir
ally has decided that minimum wag
laws for women are constitutional.
But anyway. there has been a grea
change in what is constitutional
| There are lot Of technicalitie
about this law business. One cas-
comes up on grounds that differ frol
the grounds in another case.
So it was, they say, in these min
mum wage cases.
But the essence of it all is, just til
same, that whereas once the coul
found such laws invalid, it now find
them valid.
And eight states are considering rt
enactment of their laws under the ne
decision.
There are millions who are havin
laugh to themselves.
And the nation moves on one MOI
step on the road to better things.
You see, NOTHING CAN sTO
PROGRESS.
That's a hard lesson for some
learn, but that's how it is.
Progress cannot be stopped halte

PEOPLES FORUM
EXPLAINS STAND
TAKEN ON BoLITA
Q eeeessssooseesvseseeeee

Editor, The Citizen:
Would you kindly allow me
space in your valuable columns
that l may be enabled to express
myself to the people of this city
on the stand taken on the ques-
ton of 'bolita"?
It has been brought to my at
tention that due to the fact that
I had been an advocate of gamb-
ling in the past, that I was not
the proper one who should have
brought this matter before the
City Council. Yes, / have gambled
in the past, not only with cards
but by purchasing s'bolita'' tick
cts. It is solely through my past
experience with this evil that I
take my stand, a stand in order
that other young men of our city
do not fall by the wayside. A
temptation reckoning to them
from all angles in our city, one
in which they can not but help
accept due to the fact that our
young men have hard time OBJ
tanning employment and they
have no form of entertainment
other than motion pictures or
dances. These all call for money,
how then can our young men but
stray into these Joints" seeking
something to occupy their time?
In explaining the question of a
blue law, this was nothing more
or less in my opinion but spite
full comeback at me. Personally
I do not advocate a blue law.
An attempt to impress the gem
eraI public that | was the direct
cause of the enforcement of same
has been made.
/ have been approached by GER
tain public officials who request
ed that / listen to them. In 9TH
er words, they thought that was
subject to their control. My only
interest is the welfare of this
community and absolutely refuse
to listen to any advice that will
prove detrimental to it.
