Constitution. This salvation was
due to the fact that trusted leaders
in public life, in the pulpit, in the
press, and in private life took the
pains to inform public sentiment
before it was too late.
The time is at hand when this
task of informing must be done all
over again if the Sapping expedi-
ton now organizing in the new
Congress by the enemies of an
Independent Judiciary is to be
halted and turned back before its
deadly work of destruction is COM
pleted.
There is nothing accidental
about the assault of these political
sappers upon the Federal Judiciary
as whole and the Supreme Court
of the United States in particular
This is a Well-organized campaign
on the part of an aggressive group
that has taken for it's target what
Senator Harper of South Carolina,
more than hundred years ago
declared to be "the very basis Of
our institutions.
For the last six months whole
series of books has been let loose
upon the country, the obvious pur-
pose of which was to poison the
minds of the plain people against
the integrity of the members of the
Great Tribunal. This propaganda
seems to have been distributed
with the purpose of paving the
way for some of the legislative pro-
posals which have as their COM
mon objective the destruction of
the Independence of the Judiciary.
These proposals will be examined
in subsequent articles in the light
of past experience and present and
future needs.

to direct attention to the benefits accrng to the tax
payer through the appointment of men and women quail
flied by ability to Government positions.
This organization of Government employees seeks re-
form in the Civil Service not primarily for the benefit
of it's members, who largely already under the Civil
Service but for the simple that knows that Gov
ernment will be better conducted and the public will be
better served if merit made the prime consideration in
appointments to the public service.
Already in this session of Congress many bills
have been introduced designed to extend the merit sys
tenn.
Most of these bills originated in sincere desire to
improve conditions.
Some of them, however, bear the unmistakable mark
of the spokesman who under the guise of helping the
merit SYSTEM seeks only to cement his hold on bit of
patronage.
Both houses of Congress now overwhelmingly
dominated by members of the Democratic party.
That party increased its hold in the last election in
which it not only cemented its hold the Senate and

Marry-GO-
Round
By Helen Rowland

A proposal of marriage, like
murder, is seldom premeditated-
but just an involuntary act com.
mitGed in a moment of temporary
delirium.
A popular screen lover Is the
dashing sort of daredevil that
every husband fancies he MIGHT
have been, if he'd never married.
Marriage is the point at which
an author ceases writing his best
love-sCenes from life, and begins
writing them from memory.
After a girl has married a man
and tried cooking for him for a
while. she soon discovers tnat the
way through his stomach does not
lead to his heart. but to his liver
complaint.
Sometimes a woman envies her
husbands watch. He treats it so
gently and tenderly, takes it with
him wherever he goes, and never
admits that it is WRONG!
If a women were given only
three minutes to live, she would
spend at least two of them in re-
pairing her makeup.
A bachelor always thinks of
marriage, academically, as some
thing that may happen to OTHER
men-but never to HIM.
You can't judge a man by his
wife's estimate of him. One
woman may call her husband a
brute" because he refused to give
her another new car; while an
other may call hers gentleman"
because he never knocked her
down.
The Eternal Triangle" no
longer consists of two women and
a man, but of a man, a woman,
and the woman's job.

PAYING GUESTS

Congress has finally found an
agency that is vocal enough to ex-
press a feeling that has been
growing for some time.
The advisory committee on fis-
cal relations for the District has
changed the whole theory of rela-
tionship. When the city was first
planned the country's leaders were
of the opinion that because the
National Government imposed ex-
ira drains on the normal functions
of the city the Federal Govern
ment should pay half the cost. It
was on this $3.50 basis that the
Nations Capital was started on the
path which has raised it to being
the most beautiful city in the
world.
In other words the Federal Gov
ernment thought 1t ought to pay

which the party convention adopted in Philadelphia and
on which it went before the people.
We call the attention of all Democrats both ends
of Pennsylvania Avenue, to particular plank of that
platform which reads as folows
"FOr the protection of Government itself and promo
ton of its efficiency pledge the immediate erten-
sion of the merit system through the classified Civil
SerUice-UUhich first established and fOstered
der Democratic auspices - to all nOn-pOlcy-n1aking
positions in the Federal serUice
1--WE shall subject to the Civil Service lGU all con-
tinung positions WE1ich, because of the emergency
hare been exempt from its operation"
There is much talk of reorganizing the Govern
ment establishment to promote efficiency.
Possibly reorganization would achieve that end to
certain extent.
BUT REORGANIZATION IS FUTILE UNLESS
THE MERIT SYSTEM IS FIRST MADE A GUID-
ING PRINCIPLE IN THE MENT
SERVICE.
The Democratic party has made unqualified pledge
to a942 adopt that tgg guiding principle:

Grave Injustice
(Record-HerGld, Richmond, CAL.
NoU. %, 1866

(Record-HeTILd, Richmond, Cal,
Nov. %, 1856
If there is any good reason why
over a half-million citizens should
be deprived of their franchise
rights I have never heard it ad-
vanced.
Yet that is the situation of 619,-
900 loyal, intelligent citizens Of
the United States, men and wom-
en-, who have all the obligations Of
citizenship but are denied the
right which Americans hold most
dear-the right to vote; represen-
tation in Government.
Perhaps you wonder where there
is such a place in the national
domain?
The answer is the District Of
Columbia, the seat of our national
Government.
How come this paradoxical
situation?
A reading of the debates Of the
Constitutional Congress indicates
there was no intent by the
trainers of our Government to
deny application of the principle
that all citizens are entitled to q
voice in Governmental affairs.
The Constitution makers unin.
tentionally failed to give Congress
the power, analogous to that
which is possessed with regard to
the admission of territories to
statehood of granting repreSen'
tation in Congress and the cleo.
toral college to the District OF
Columbia.
There was introduced in the last
Congress a Constitutional amend
ment which would remedy that
wrong. It will be re-introduced in
the Congress which convenes in
January, and there should not
even 'be time wasted in debate
over it's passage. The inhabitants
of the District of Columbia are
not morons, criminal or illiterate.
in fact the great majority of them
are occupied in carrying on the
functions of Government, which
presupposes more than an ordi-
nary degree of intelligence; addi'
tionally these people bear their
part of the Governmental burden
in the way of taxes, which creates
a situation contrary to American
beliefs and principles-taxation
without representation.
In other words, while we boast OF
our democracy we supine1y and in
differently suffer the rape Of the
very cornerstone of it. The nys.
terry to my mind is why this state
of affairs has been permitted to
exist for over century. Let 1t not
be said to our shame that we will
countenance its continuance be-
yond the time necessary to take
action on remedial legislation that
will correct the grave injustice.
