JUSTICE FRANKFURTER
Minneapolis Journal)

The President, at long last, has
appointed Felix Frankfurter to the
Supreme Court. When confirmed
this selection will fill vacancy which
occurred nearly six months ago, upon
the death of Justice Cardozo.
Professor Frankfurter was the out
standing prospect for the appoint
ment, from the start. Just why il
took so long to make the decision
does not appear, but there was much
talk about the Vests lack of repre-
sentation on the Court, and a num-
Der of possible appointees were dis
cussed and urged. The geographical
argument did not prevail, and ii
should not, in appointments of this
character.
The new Justice is we'll known as
liberal, and as the mentor of many
brilliant attorneys, in and out of the
New Deal circle. He is not a radical,
however, and he is legal scholar of
high attainments. He is well fitted
in mental equipment and training to
follow Justice Cardozo, and to carry
on the traditions of two other eminent
men of Massachusetts,, the late Oliver
Wendell Holmes and Louis D. Bran
deis.
The Frankfurter appointment is a
choice far superior to some of the
others Mr.. Roosevelt has made.

FREE SPEECH ON THE STAGE
Minneapolis JournaD

(MlnneapOllS Journal)
Minneapolis is laughing with
George M. Cohan, and at his good
natured burlesque of President
Roosevelt, which does not give Of
tense to the Presidents most ardent
admirers-provided they have the
saving grace of sense of humor.
Here we see a feature that dis
tinguishes the democracies of the
world. Can one imagine burlesque
of Hitler on the German stage, or of
Mussolini in a Roman theater? In
those countries sense of humor is
no longer blessing. 1t must be kept
carefully concealed, lest it lead to
swift disaster
In free country there is no such
thing as lese majestic. There is free
press, in which the ruler and other
public men are freely criticized and
even caricatured - something that
cannot be tolerated in a dictatorship
which depends for its life on blind,
unquestioning idolatry of the people,

FL. DEAD AND BURIED

Editor Askov American:
Even though the Farmer-Labor
party is dead and buried it may take
a year or two before the more gullible
adherents find it out. Some will, as
of yore, sell their wife's chickens in
order to get the wherewithal to at
tend the stacked" st. Paul state
convention just to watch the st. Paul
Minneapolis and Duluth communists
run the show.
To those who look before leaping
just remember, many of the old lead
ers have passed on-Congressman
Charles A. Lindbergh, Magnus john
son, Knud Wefald, Floyd B. Olson,
just to mention a few.
The party's most influential lead
ers now living, withdrew their sup
port prior to the last general cleo
ton. The remaining faction, divided
and fighting for party control, is SO
thoroughly discredited that it will
never again be able to win the con-
fidence of sufficient number of Min
nesota voters to be returned to power.
The 678,839 men and women who
voted for Governor Stassen will see
to that.
The party no longer has $4,000
state employees to intimidate and
force to "kick in" on campaign slush
funds. 1t can no longer win sup
port from the simple by promising
jobs.
The party's discontinued official
organ, The Minnesota Leader, would
have little or no influence if restored
to circulation.
The complete rout and wreck of
the Farmer-Labor party is just an
other case of too many rats climbing
aboard and sinking the gravy boat"

Lives OF Great Men

On Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week the birthdays of two
men who contributed much to
this country were observed
throughout the nation. Benjamin
Franklin was born Jan. II, 1706,
and Daniel Webster on Jan. Is,
1882. Good and appropriate trib-
ute was paid these two famous
characters by an editorial which
appeared in recent issue of the
Minneapolis Tribune, of which
we print herewith a part:
1t would be difficult to say which
one of the two gave more to his
country. Each was patriot and states
man. Franklin was philosopher
inventor, diplomat and author as
we'll; Webster powerful orator and
lawyer. Probably the weight of pop
ular sentiment leans toward Frank
lin Without doubt, he was the more
colorful character. Yet without
Webster, the United States of Amer
lea might never have survived
Franklin, it is true, helped to draft
the Federal constitution in 1887
But Webster, on the other hand, is
credited with holding that same con-
stitution together in 1880 with 6
speech he made in the United States
Senate. This speech, made in an
swer to one by Senator Hayne OF
South Carolina declaring the Federal
government loose confederation Of
sovereign states, any one of which
could refuse to obey the laws OF
Congress, not only succeeded in &C.
menting the constitution but in eS-
tablishing Webster as the foremos
orator of American history. Its clos.
ing lines are familiar to everyone
Liberty and Union, now and for
ever, one and inseparable."

tinued to serve his country. Hi:
