Roberts Position

In the last analysis-fair analy- sis-the Presidents plan has 8 twofold purpose. One is to get justices who have reached seventy to make way for younger men. The other is to do away with Opin- ions given by the hair-line ma jority of one or two votes. Jus tice Van Devanter's retirement leaves the reactionary bloc on the bench intact. Messrs McReynoldS, Butler, and Sutherland still con- stitute a trio or ohstructionists to any legislation which does not fit in with their age-old affection for things as they are. Justice Rob- erts' latter day conversion to the liberal section of the court is no proof that he is going to continue to remain in the company of Chief Justice Hughes, and Justices Stone, Brandeis, and Cardozo.

Murder Will Out

Unless I am greatly mistaken the issue on which the Democrat ic objectors ran out on their party leader remains exactly what 1t was before Justice Van Devanter sent in his notice of retirement. The eyes of the country, especially those eyes which saw only the names on the Democratic ticket last election day, will be focused with greater intensity on the boys who said one thing on the cam paign stump and have been doing the direct opposite since January 1st. MT. Roosevelt has set forth his position clearly and unmis-. takably. The real basis for the opposition raised by his former party associates will be forthcom- ing in due time. There is noth- ing hidden which shall not be uncovered. Murder will out.

 Giving them, however, the bene- fit of charitable doubt as to the sincerity of their motives, what are the rebels going to do when President Roosevelt nominates a man to fill Justice Van Devanters place?

Larger Considerations

Of course back of the present conflict between the President and those who sailed into their sena- torial jobs on his coat tails there are larger considerations involved than the alteration of the number and makeup of the Supreme Court. MT. Roosevelt knows it. So do the gentlemen who are oppos- ing him. There is in the perspec- tive legislation which the Pres- ident wishes to become the law of the land. It has to do with mini- mum wages, child labor, business regulation, and a long list of other things which he not only believes should be taken care of but which he pledged himself to take care of before he was reelected. That pledge he will insist on keeping regardless of the attitude of those who pledged the same thing on the stump but which they have forgotten since they got off the hustings. Is the present Demo- cratic opposition going to go along with him in this kind of legisla- tion? Or is it going to run out as it is now doing and for the same reasons?

Problem Remains

Converts have been known to lapse before now and there is nothing to indicate that Justice Roberts may not backtrack as un- expectedly and as suddenly as he peda1led forward. The possibility of his return to his former judi cial attitude is by no means re- mote. It is no secret that he does not enjoy the flood of criticism and suspicion which was turned loose over him by Big Business editors when he went over to the progressive wing of the Court. Neither can he be tickled to death over the ill-disguised sneers di- rected at him by his associates on the bench whose viewpoint of the law he abandoned and whose close corporation he disrupted by leaving. The problem of and the objection to one man on the Su- preme Court tribunal being able to maintain veto power over the acts of Congress and the good of the people as visualized by the Chief Executive remains. So does Pres ident Roosevelt's infiexible deter imitation to solve the problem and to remove the objection.
 Where Do They Stand?
 But where do the Democrats who have been fighting their party leader stand in the light of one reactionary retiring from the Court? Having been used as cats paw by the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee to render an unfavorable report of the Presidents bill, how has their position been bettered? They are still guilty, most of them. of rum ming out on 8 Democratic pres ident through whose appeal to the voters of the country they were able to run in to office. Whatever happens ultimately to MT. Roose- yelt's proposal they will be held responsible for their sin of ingrati- tutle, or worse. If the Presidents measure is killed at the finish, which I do not think it will be, the sin remains and no amount Of special explanation will wipe it out. ;

If they can beat MT. Roosevelt in his effort to get the kind of Court the country needs, they have beautiful out for their future actions and an anchor to wind ward in addition. When the President makes known the legis- lative program he wants carried out because it is the peoples will to have it carried out the present party rebels can crate and vote for the measures proposed with the supreme satisfaction of know ing that the Supreme Court they are struggling to conserve as it IS. will kick it out the window. At first blush it looks like a perfect alibi. The only trouble with per feet alibis, however, is that they can be so perfect as to constitute damnably certain proof of guilt.

 have characterized the Supreme Court controversy between the President and his adversaries as a battle. On second thought the term may be too exaggerated. A better and more accurate desig- nation would be "skirmish", an exploratory engagement prelim- mary to a more important, more vital struggle in which the well fare of the people is at stake. It is undeniable that MT. Roosevelt wants certain legislation enacted for the nations good. It is equal- ly undeniable that he recognizes that the fate of that legislation depends on liberal interpretation of the Constitution by the Supreme Court. The establish ment of liberal l-minded Court is logically the first step. The Oppo- sition to the creation of that sort of Court is also logical for those who do not want the Presidents legislative program carried out. Hence the stubborn violence of the defeatism being practiced and preached by the Democratic sen- atorial clique.

SUMMER NEED

There: should be at least one hot
article. in the menu of every warm
weather meal, if health is to be
maintained, declares Miss Rae Rus
sell, extension nutritionist, State
College of Washington
Many summer ills are traceable
to the prevalent habit during sum-
rner hot-spells of consuming all
cold and chilled foods and drinks
Food that enters the stomach cold
is inclined to remain there too long
with the result that digestion is re-
tarded and consequent troubles are
started. If some warm article of
odiet is included with every meal,
such as "a soup or warm drink, this
danger will be averted.
Often people eat too much in
warm weather, too, says Miss Rus
sell. The body does not need as
much food during warm weather,
because not so much energy needs
to be generated in keeping up the
bodily temperature. Less food and
more drink is good rule to follow.
