Broken by Vols
By the Associated Press

BATON ROUGE. La. Nov. l.
Louisiana States luck has run out.
The luck" is the university's cadet
corps.
Until they saw the Tigers licked
by Tennessee Saturday the cadets
never had seen a Tiger eleven de-
feated. \
On four previous occasions they
had witnessed victories, including the
first memorable trip to Nashville,
Tenn. when the late Senator Huey
P. Long led the cadet excursion for
the 800 rout of Vanderbilt.

nominations of the five clubs which
have the duty of naming the new
president for 1899. These clubs are
Woodmont, Army Navy. Columbia,
Chevy Chase and Beaver Dam.
It's quite a job the dear
gals have cut out for them
selves, for Mrs. Payne has in
many ways been the most sue
cessful and most popular pres
ident the association has had
in its short existence.
In case you are interested, the
following have been named on the
slate for the presidency: Mrs. Noble
j. Waldron. Beaver Dam: Mrs. E. M.
Amick, Columbia; Mrs. Roy C. Mil
Ter, Kenwood. Nominations sent in
by the clubs will be taken by Mrs
GARDENERS committee and sent to
Mrs. T. J. johnson, association sec
rotary. who will make public the
list of nominees chosen by the COM
mittee.
This year for the first time in a
decade the nominations really are
hard to figure. but you can take 1t
that those named include the name
of the new president, if Mrs. Payne
doesn't run again for the presidency,
which is unlikely, by her own state
ment.

The Supreme Court

Your editorial Friday, chal-
longing the authority Of the
Supreme Court to declare acts
of Congress unconstitutional,
and criticizing the court for
exercise Of the power, would be
unworthy Of notice or comment
except for the fact that it is
calculated to prejudice the
ignorant rabble against the
court.
Books Of unanSwerable logic,
as well as innumerable decisions
Of the Supreme Court itself, have
been written on the subject, vim
dicating the right and duty Of
the court to exercise the author
ity in question.
Quoting from memory, the
Constitution provides that it,
and laws passed in pursuance
thereof, shall be the supreme
law of the land; and that no
person shall be convicted Of
treason except upon the testi-
mony of two witnesses to the
same overt act, or upon confes-
sion in open court.
Suppose Congress should pass
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1938-11-28

an act (and it has passed acts
as foolish and UNCONSTITUTIONAL
requiring the testimony Of only
one witness for conviction Of
treason, and q citizen was con-
victed under such a law, and
took his, case to the Supreme
Court. The judges, who are
sworn to protect, preserve, and
defend the Constitution, would
have to hold the law unconstitu-
tional as not having been passed
pursuant to the Constitution,
for if they did not the law would
be the supreme law of the land
not the Constitution. Number.
less illustrations could be given.
but this would seem to be
sufficient.

Inevitable, He Believes

The war scare is over, but
everywhere you go you hear talk
Of disarmament to prevent fu-
ture threats.
Disarmament as a means to
prevent war never did work and
never will. You may argue that
unarmed nations cannot fight,
but there will always be strife,
conflict and hatred among men
as long as the world stands.
When the time comes for them
to clash (and it wild there will
be another rearmament race.
Let us for a moment consider
the other extreme, that is, every
nation on the face of the earth
is literally armed to the teeth.
This condition would not guar
antee peace, but it would have a
tendency to create respect
among nations.
In a situation like this can
anyone honestly say that any
one nation will be over-anXious
to declare war on another?
