To-day it may be the Court
which Is charged with forget.
ting its constitutional duties.
Tomorrow it may be the Con-
greSS. The next day it may
be the Executive. If we yield
to temptation now to lay the
lash upon the Court. We are
only teaching others how to
apply 1t to ourselves and to
the people when the occasion
seems to warrant. Manifestly,
If we may force the hand Of
the Court to secure our in
depreciation Of the COnstitu-
ton, then some succeeding
Congress may repeat the pro-
cess to secure another and q
different Interpretation, and
one which may mot sound so
pleasant In our ears as that
for which we now contend.

Recently the Senator was suffering from
an attack of grip and neuralgia. He says
that he has tough fight on his hands
against the old guard in his State and that
in 1924 they read him out Of the party.
Now in 1887 they are trying to say he is
critically i'll and are looking around for
successor
He has completely recovered from his
illness and in few days he's going back
home again on a visit to let them look
him over and prove that he's very much
alive.
