Nations Affairs
A Court Fight in ITO
By HARLEY L. LUTZ
Professor of Public Finance, Princeton University

provided a way by which the people
can add to or subtract from, the pow
ers which they desire government to
exercise. Yet its limitations grow in
creasingly irksome to those who are
unwilling to respect its terms, and who
are equally unwilling to follow the
method of change which the conStitu-
ton itself prescribes. Recently it has
been necessary to use armed force to
preserve public order in various
places. While this is an effective way
of keeping order, as all dictators know,
it is the way most repugnant to the
constitution and to the reign Of law
which it establishes.
Worse than the local civil wars
which have been brought on by q
weak and biased governmental policy
in the adjustment of the relations Of
labor and capital, however, is the at
tack on great constitutional institu-
ton, the Supreme Court. The COM
promise bill for changing its member
ship is exactly that-a face-saving
compromise. 1t is worse In some re-
spects than the original, for it puts
complete authority and discretion in
the Presidents hands to jockey the
membership to suit the occasion. Bad
as they were. the original arguments
for the plan have all been strapped
now, and the struggle in the Senate
has resolved itself into a brawl be-
tween those partisans who are fighting
to keep from letting the President
down and those who have enough con-
science and intelligence to see the real
ISSUE. -
The Indictment of George III in the
Declaration charges that he sought
the establishment of an absolute
tyranny over the thirteen states. The
facts in support of this charge are set
out. and one statement in particular
should be read and considered care
fully today by every citizen. It is the
following:
HE has made judges dependent on
his will alone for the tenure of their
Office and the amount and payment
of their salaries"
The creation of a subservient and
personally controlled judiciary is one
of the steps in the erection of tyran-
nical government. Granting that the
immediate purpose of the dangerous
measure now before the Senate may
be political face-saving and not tyran-
ny. will help us no more in the
end than it did the fellow who was
hit by truck to have the right of
way when the accident happened.

Shrine forth upon our clouded
hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
among these dark Satanic mills2"
Joseph paused: then, gripping
the railing IN front Of him, he
leaned forward, his earnest young
face shining, and went on with the
poem IN an impassioned voice that
reached every man In the great
throng:
Bring me my Bow Of burning
gold!
Bring me my Arrows of desired
Bring me my Spear! o clouds,
unfold!
Bring me my Chariot Of fire!
II will not cease from mental
fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my
hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In this our green and pleasant
landp
The young king remained lean
ing forward, his face alight; and
suddenly the great crowd responded,
and a tremendous shout went UP to
the sky, as the people caught the
vision he had held out to them
the building of a white and shin
ing city and amid their coal tipples
and Stag heaps, the constructing OF
a drawer and better society, the
vanquishing of the ancient enc
mics of man, the union Of all faiths
and all men in an unending strug-
gle to build on the imperfect earth
the holy city of God.
Paul found that he had left the
crowd, somehow, and was walking
along toward the wharf where he
had moored his sloop. : lie words
of Blake'S r 2lty poem still rang
in his CA. ceiore his eyes re-
manned the picture Of his brother
Joseph, % young and so sincere,
standing ter.Je before his subjects
and liz .lting in their hearts the
flame that enables men to tran
scend themselves.
And as he thought Of this, there
came TO Paul, at last, realiza-
ton Of the full measure Of his
failure.
This, then, was what a king was
for nowadays; to reach up to those
lofty SUBMITS where the great
spirits dwell and bring down a
vision and a hope for his people.
1t was not dull and spiritless
task, choked by endless formality
and meaningless ritual; 1t was the
highest task man could be given.
1t was this that he had turned his
back on this that he had failed to
see, this that he had given up in
order to chase the will o. the wisp
freedom across Europe.
He walked dejectedly to the
wharf and descended to the cabin
of the sloop. Ashore, the cere-
monies ended, people streamed
back through the streets, city life
regained its formal round, the day
wore away; and all the while Paul
sat alone in the cabin, his chin in
his hands, thinking long and mel
ancholy thoughts.
He reused himself, at last, and
came on deck. Dusk had come;
night was yelling the bleak ugli-
ness Of the harbor, and the water
front was taking on a spangle of
lights. Paul stood by the mast,
looking duly at the foreshore.

CHAPTER XII

All the rest Of that day and even
Ing Paul wandered idly about Gall
port, unrecognized and lonely, drift
ing from one casual group to an
other, asking questions and direct
ing each conversation TO the SUBJ
.ect Of the King.
When he went to bed, at last,
in the cabin of his sloop, he had
to admit that the thing he had
come back to Gailport to find had
eluded him. For he had come back
to bask in the radiance of the old
days to snuggle up against the
warm love Of his people had once
had for him-and he found that 1t
no longer existed.
The truth Of the matter was
that they had simply forgotten
him. They did not look back at
his reign with the fond longing he
had imagined they did not look
back at all until someone remind
ed them Of 1t, as he had been do
ing: and then their attitude was
one Of, ooh yes-King Paul To be
sure; he was king before King Jo-
seph, wasn't hep"
Here and there he found faint
note Of hostility: feeling that
King Paul had deserted them, had
fed when they needed him. But
for ten most part that was absent.
In the space of brief year he
he'd become an obscure figure in
history; q person one remembered
when his name was mentioned,
but not one that anybody looked
back to with any desire or yearn-
ing.
When he got up the next morning
he found the little city decked out
with flags and bunting in honor of
the expected visit of Joseph. Each
house, no matter how humble, had
found some means Of putting on a.
festive aspect. Stores sold cheap
Autographs Of the king, and these
appeared in almost every window.
Small, crudely lettered signs, God
Bless Our King" were strung over
gateposts and alleyways. A holiday
had been declared, and innumerable
children, joyous at their release
from school, were already massing
In a vast group on the common,
tiny flags clutched in unwontedly
clean fists, while anxious teachers
scurried about to make sure that
their charges would give the mon
arch o proper welcome.
BY 10 o'clock the sidewalks were
crowded. Paul found a place by
the pedestal Of a dust-grimed war
memorial, at the entrance to the
common. A pang Of memory as
sailed him as he recognized the
memorial; he had dedicated 1t, IS

Brain TwizzIers
By Prof. J. ID. Flint

Here is modified form OF Twizzler
Burton's story about murder in
broad daylight And on a big city
street, too.
The murderer calmly walked I'D
TO o policeman and surrendered
himself, saying that he had Just shot
a man. He was not an officer and
had no authority. Investiga ton
brought to light the facts that the
murderer and the murdered man
had known each other thirty years
before but hadn't seen each other
since that time. No one was able to
offer any information about the
dead mans life during the preceding
thirty years.
When the prosecutors dug up more
facts they discovered that the mo-
tive was revenge but the murderer
could not be convicted for the kill
ing. Do you know why? Do your as
sociates know why? Compare your
reasons tomorrow.

was friend of many years standing
of the famous eSsayist and nature
lover and also published his many
books.
Burroughs first book of nature
essays, Wake Robin" was published
while the naturalist was working in
Washington and was compiled after
hours when he returned from his
post in the Treasury Building. Set
to guard vault in the recesses Of
the old building on Pennsylvania
avenue, Burroughs escaped from his
uncongenial surroundings by forming
pictures Of his boyhood in his mind
and recalling days when he roamed
the hills of Delaware County and
fished for trout in the Pepacton. These
reflections formed the basis for his
nature essays.
Burroughs came to, Washington in
1862, influenced by the fact that Walt
Whitman was also residing in the
Capital. He had a deep affection
for the unappreciated poet who had
published Leaves of Grass" at the
cost Of his clerkship in the Indian
Office. Burroughs wrote a book in
defense Of his friend and called it
"Notes on Whitman, Poet and Person" "
Burroughs bought small farm
house on the site now occupied by
the Senate Office Building and his
corner was the END of the line" of
the old horse cars of the Capital.
Later Burroughs moved to a small
