HISTORIC COURT FIGHT

The prolonged controversy over
the proposed reorganization of the
Federal courts which has lasted
xsi months, will go down in history
as one of the major battles of Amer
lean politics. Amid all this turmoil
of words, a few principles seem
fairly well established.
The American people apparently
want some limitation placed on the
President and Congress. The chief
executive and the lawmakers have
had a set of instructions given them
by the people. which is embodied in
the constitution.
Someone has to decide whether
these instructions have been yio-
lated. If the President and Congress
can decide what these Instructions
permit, they become the sole rulers
OF the country. Apparently the peo-
pie think some body like the Supreme
Court, which is removed from the
arena of politics. should have the
final decision whether the President
and Congress have exceeded their
powers.
The Supreme Court is not and
never will be a fixed and unalter-
able body, which can set itself up
over the people and rule contrary
to the public desires. Vacancies in
the court are sure to occur. When
such vacancies come, new judges
can be appointed whose views will
coincide with the opinions which
prevail at the time. Thus the atti-
tude of the court is sure to change
and follow public sentiment.
II the people want the constitu-
ion changed. they can change it by
amendment. 1t is OBJ
ected that 13 States can block an
amendment by refusing to ratify 1t.
But il is doubtful if 13 States would
.ver be found to hold out against
my amendment that the rest Of the
country wanted.
The American people can do any |
hing they want with the constitu-
ion. the courts, or any other depart
nent of government The main
ifficulty is the indifference of the
eople on public questions, and the
ifficulty of waking them up to de-
nand the changes that should come.

PESTS SEEK HUMAN PREY

The Government spends millions
to fight the grasshopper, the boil
weevil, the locust, and other evil
minded critters that cram our good
crops down their ugly little bellies.
There are also the pests that swarm
over the land each summer, and draw
their food from the veins of human
beings. The house fly and the mo-
squito are the most pestilential OF
these little beasts. Who can esti-
mate the damage they do to human
life?
These deadly creatures are thirsty
for our blood. When they trust their
sharp fangs beneath our skins, they
transfer to us the disease germs they
are carrying. The open garbage
pail where these loathsome crea-
lures feed, or the low and swampy
spots where mosquitoes turn out
their swarms, are the munition fac
tories where these enemies are arm
ing for their attacks on human life.

DANCING AWAY CARE

Said the poet Longfellow, as he
watched rural dance: ~ gaze with
delight on a scene where toll and
struggling and anguish are laid aside
and forgotten. and the heart of the
toll worn peasant seems to throw
of his load. "..
The above is true among all ele-
ments of people here in Delaware.
1t is not surprising that there are
$4,000 dancing schools in this coun-
try, and that 100000 pubils are
studying this art. about half of them
children. Dancing is frequently done
in an exhausting and dissipated way.
so it does more harm than good.
If enjoyed as a healthful exercise
under wholesome conditions, it has
perhaps more power to cheer the
heart than any form of amusement.
The satisfaction of the normal desire
for rhythmical motion chases away
the dumps

THE some GALLUs NAM

A dispatch from Washington reI
ports that the Senate Agriculture
Committee is tired of listening to
the usual type of lobbyists. 1t wants
to hear from the ''one gallns man..
Who and what is the lone gallus
man? Some of the. leading die
tionaries do not include any such
word as "gallus" The young peo-
pie may not know what it means.
1t was the old-fashioned term for
the suspenders by which man holds
up his trousers. The one gallus
man may be taken to be that strug-
Cling citizen. one strap of whose
suspenders has broken, and who
lacks sufficient resources to acquire
another pair. There are many such
in both country and city, men who
can barely keep up with the re-
quirements of ordinary life.
AS you drive through the rural
districts. you see many discouraged
looking homes, which show signs of
the one gollus man. The buildings
often need painting, the farm tools
often look as though they would not |
work, and the fields may look poorly
titled.
How far is the "one gallus man"
In the majority of
cases the community can be con-
sidered to blame for his hard life.

THE FARMER SMILES

The total farm income for the
year 1886 is now figured at $780,
600 900, about twice as much as the
farmers received in 1882. The mel
ancholy cries of woe which but late
Iy proceeded from the rural dis
tricts are now very much toned
down, and may even be superseded
by cheerful songs of joy.
When the farmer is able to spend
money, all classes benefit. Mean
while many sections of the farming
community still have their troubles.
The pesky pests are still growing
fat, and Nature has a lot to learn
about when she ought to rain and
when to shine. Some people COM
plain the former is never satisfied
but the man who is thus the play
thing of vast forces he can't control,
can't be blamed if sometimes the
world tastes sour.

SEA MONSTERS

1t is a pretty tame and pale kind
of a summer that does not bring
forth one or more stories about sea
serpents or sea monsters. This years
prize tale comes from the White
river in Arkansas, where thousands
of people have been attracted by
stories of an aquatic monster,
which is supposed to rise from the
river with a prOdigious snort.
Meanwhile scientific authorities
scoff at such unknown creatures.
Some of them supposed to be seen
in the ocean are accounted for as
gigantic specimens of seaweed. The
spuid. also. queer creature ordi-
narily one or two feet long, some
times produces specimens 40 feet
long when its arms are extended.
One of those fellows would be enough
10 scare anybody when he was feel
ing down in the dumps.

SYSTEMATIC GROWTH

II people cherish an ambition for
growth in business. opportunities
and advantages for their home towns,
they have to make plans for the
achievement of these aims. These
advances are not obtained in any
passive way. Plans must be laid,
active work must be done, and speci-
fic things accomplished, which bring
more business and draw In money
and people. "s '''
This is where the necessity comes
for some kind of business organiza-
ton, Chamber of Commerce, Board
of Trade. or whatever you may call
it. to get things done. The needs
must be discussed. practical plans
must be studied. and committees and
officials named to carry out these
plans. Somebody must take the re-
sponsibility for such work. When
a community. organizes and supports
some business organization, these
things can be accomplished.

CONGRESS- CAN GO

AS the school boy longs for recess
so the statesmen at Washington,
when hot weather comes, long to go
home. Who wouldn't? The long
controversy over reorganization of
the Supreme Court has blocked the
way of other legislation. The months
have slipped away. and the laws re-
main much as they were.
The heats of midsummer are not
a favorable time in which to pass
laws. Don't expect a statesman to
show the wisdom of a Washington
or a Jefferson. if the perspiration
runs in rivers off his heated brow.
The American people will excuse
their lawmakers, if they quit at an
early day and go home.
The progress of the country is not
achieved mainly by passing laws.
Prosperity is created primarily by
the energy and judgment of the peo-
pie applied to their daily tasks. The
farmer hoeing his corn. the shoe
maker hammering on his last, have
more to do with creating prosperity
than the men seated on the heights
of craftsmanship.

LANGUAGE FOR ALL NATIONS

For many years efforts have been
made to invent a language which
should be learned and spoken by all
nations. 1t is held that if all coun-
tries could speak the same language,
peace would be promoted and wars
abolished. Prominent among Ian
guages constructed for this purpose
are Volapuk and Esperanto.
The inventor of another world
language called Ro. Rev. E. P. Fos-
ter of Waverly. w ", has just died.
He thus strove for a worthy cause.
The simplest way out of the univer-
sal language problem would seem
to be for all nations to learn Eng
lish. which is spoken all over the
world. 1t is a long time since two
nations that speak English have
fought each other.

WHY NEWSPAPERS ASH
FREEDOM

The movement started among a
dozen or more newspaper associa-
tions to defend the freedom OF the
press, many seem to some represent
exaggerated fears. When such ap-
prehensions are expressed, some
folks laugh and say, 1T could not
happen here.
Similarly if the people of certain
European countries had been told a
few years ago that their free press
could be destroyed. and their right
to public discussion suppressed
they would have laughed, and said
that no such thing had been done in
modern times, and that it could not
be done in this enlightened age.
Our people should consider very
carefully what has happened in sew
eral of the greatest European coun-
tries. There is in those lands most
amazing suppression of news and
discussion. 1t is not simply that
people are prevented from speaking
their minds through newspapers,
but they dc. NOT get any real picture
of the things happening in their
country or the world. 1t is impos-
sible, with the twisted information
fed out through controlled news
papers. to form intelligent opinions
about events.
A publisher or editor who speaks
his mind freely in those lands, or
who prints news to which the govern
ment objects. is likely to be shut up
in Jail, or see his newspaper sup
pressed and his plant confiscated.
In Russia he might easily be sent to
exile, or even lined up against wall
and shot
These things happened in those
countries, because people became
tired of democratic government, and
turned to anyone who would promise
them relief. Human nature is not
wholly different in America. Any
thing that shows any tendency to
limit our old democratic powers. or
curtail the freedom of the press.
should be looked at as one step to-
ward the wrongs from which Europe
now suffers.

MAN AND HIS COLLAR

: Speaking in a figurative way, peo'
pie often boast that they wear nc
mans collar. The collar has been
regarded as kind Of symbol Of SER
vitude. A horse wears a collar as
a part of his harness, by which he is
forced to perform hard labor for
his master. The American people
do not like to think of themselves as
| thus collared and harnessed to serve
any master.
On the practical question OF the
collar as an article of dress, man
subjects himself quite mildly to the
demands of his master fashion.
1t may be argued that a collar
performs no useful service. and is
superfuous article of dress. Yet
it adds very much TO a mans per-
sonaI appearance. If man appears
at any kind of formal function, or
mingles in society without wearing
a collar, he is set down as an igno-
ramus.
Here the demands of fashion con-
fiict with human welfare. The tight |
collar around a mans neck is per-
haps his worst discomfort in sum
mer. While the women and girls
rejoice in low-cut waists. man is
forced to suffer with this band around
his neck.
Health authorities suggest that
shirt open at the neck would pro-
mote comfort. AS this is clearly
true, this should become the univer-
sal hot weather fashion. The mod
ern shirt with collar attached but I
eft unbuttoned. solves that prob
EN-, and the necktie could well be
eft in the bureau drawer on hot
lays.
Will the men have the indepen- s
Ience to follow any such plan? They I
re said to be less governed by style '
han the women, but on few funda- I
mental principles of dress, they fol- I
ow their leaders like sheep. If the !
eaders say they must wear the a
light collar, they submissively yield. G
iome kind of an anti-tight collar /
movement is needed, SO that man
an open his perspiring throat to
be cool breezes.
