Our Constitution laid down these
''signposts" and regula-
tions-clearly and definitely.
They showed us the way to con-
tinue enjoyment of the freedom
that has indeed been a blessed
privilege through the last CEN
fury and a half
And this administration has
removed some of these signposts,
& It is apparently DESTROYS of re-
moving nearly all of them. 1t has
not only ignored the rules of con-
stitutional government, but it is
apparently DESTROYS of changing
or removing the regulatory pow
er of the United States Supreme
Court This attitude has been
clearly manifested on frequent
occasions. The administration
would apparently like us to aban-
don the guide which has shown
us the safe and sound road to the
continuance of our freedom. It
would apparently like us to start
on a new road, without Signposts
OF any kind, without regulations
We would then be on our
way but we would not know
where we were going.
And it seems difficult for peo-
pie to understand that the United
States Supreme Court does not
make our laws. 1t is governed by
instructions that are so clear and
dependable that it is difficult for
it to vary from the rigid rules
that it is supposed to follow.
The judges of the Supreme
Bench can only present their in
depreciation of our constitutional
regulations. and lit is these re-
Sfrictions = which represent the
SignpoSts that guide our national
flfe. washington, Jefferson, and
the other wise men of their time
knew what was necessary to pro-
tect the liberties they had won at
such a terrible price.
If the New Deal should have its
way, every new session of Con-
gress would have the right to
make any fool law that might &C.
cur to its members or be forced
upon them by enthusiastic groups
which are often the victims of
fanatical theorists.
We should demand proper re-
spect for the oath of office. Its
meaning should be more defin-
itely defined. Then the officials
of this country would begin to
enforce the laws. Let me repeat:
We are supposed to be governed
by laws and not by men. The
sworn duty of officials is to en-
force the laws as they are re-
corded. and they should be made
to assume that duty.

LAWLESSNESS Is OUR
MAIN TROUBLE


| Strict enforcement of our laws
is one of hte outstanding needs of
this country at this time-rigid
adherence to the laws of the land.
Our legal enactments should be
respected. -, =
The oath of office, which is
supposed to be a serious cere-
mony binding our officials to
strict allegiance to. rules and
regulations of constitutional gov
eminent, is frequently swept
aside as meaningless.
We are supposed to be govern
ed by laws and not by men. Of
fieials are not supposed to have
the right to ignore enactments
that they have sworn to enforce.
No one ever takes an official po-
sition without swearing to uphold
the laws of this government by
every means in his power.
Many of our officials have re-
Gently assumed the role of die
tator. When laws are infringed,
they make no effort to enforce
them if not to do so is to their
advantage. If, for political or 9TH
er reasons, they consider it desir-
able to ignore these infractions of
our legal codes, they apparently
consider it their privilege. Their
oath of office is often forgotten.
We are a lot of dumb victims
of the lawmaking habit. Our leg
islators seem to think that any
thing can be remedied by this
means. And perhaps it is neces-
sary to make another law defin-
itely stating that it is the duty of
Officials to honor their oath of
office.
The recent wave of violent
strikes could not possibly have
occurred if the laws of the va
rious states had been properly
enforced. Strikes in some in
stances were called by a small
minority of the workers, and
through threats and intimidation
plants were closed.
AS to the rank and file of Ia
bor-the majority are not by any
means in favor of such lawleSs-
ness. The sympathy of the gen.
eral public, which is so important
to workers, will disappear with
the continuation of such policies.
When our pioneer ancestry in
itiated this government through
our Constitution, they set up
signpoSts along the road of our
national life. These landmarks
if we might so term them-point-
ed to the road ahead, told US just
where and how far we could 60.

BIG LEAGUE PLAY
STARTS APRIL II

Fans are reminded that play in
the major baseball leagues will
begin April II. New York Yam
KEGS are scheduled to open
against Washington Senators. On
the following day the whole
league win swing into action.
Scheduled of the younger cir
cunt for April 18: Boston at New
York, Cleveland at St. Louis,
Washington at Philadelphia and
Chicago at Detroit.
Gehrig has set a record in this
league. He has knocked out %
home runs with hte bases loaded.
Foxx has turned the trick IL
times and Simmons, 10 times. Did
you know that Joe DiMaggio of
the Yanks in his first two sea-
sons in the majors was not caught
stealing once? The first time he
was caught was in his 425th
game, Sept. IS, 1898, when he at
tempted a double steal with Lou
Gehrig. He was nipped at the
plate, Peacock to Cronin to Pea
cock.
On the final day of the Ameri-
can League schedule last year.
Bob Feller set league strikeout
record when he famed IL hard
hitting Detroit Tiger batters.
National League will also open
April II with single game, Pitts
burgh at Cincinnati. On April
Is Cincinnati plays Chicago,
Philadelphia at Boston, New York
at Brooklyn and St. Louis at
Pittsburgh.
Philadelphia Phillies lost the
final game at Bakers Bowl on
June 80, 1898, when the Giants
downed them, AL. Then the
PhilS moved to Shibe Park to
share the field with Philadelphia
Athletics, who have played there
81 years.

l'oday's Horoscope

Today should produce a strong
business man, with confidence
the index of the day. There is
danger, however, that pride or
disappointment, perhaps, will him
der from making the best of ep-
portunity. for unrestrained self
confidence is apt to develop a
self satisfied conceit. Those born
in the later hours of the day viii
have better results.

FOLLOWING THROUGH
BY AGUILAR
BASEBALL FOR
LOCAL SCHOOL?

High schools of the State OF
Florida are beginning to form
teams and play baseball. Will the
local high school fall in line?
1t seems to the writer that
there is a great amount of ma
terial among the boys of Key
West High. A little practice and
we are sure they, could compete
with any East Coast nine.
Among the material are the
Soldano brothers, E. Pinder. Soho

Dr. y "A"e'' ing at her home,
IS Brantford place, Buffalo.
A native of Media, N. Y, DR..
OMalley was graduated from the
University of Buffalo Medical School
in 1897. She served her intern
ship at Sisters of Charity Hospital,
Buffalo. For several years after
ward she was a member of the
staff of the Binghamton State
Hospital for the Insane. There, in
1903 she met the late DR.. William
A. White, former head of St. Eliza
beth'S, who two years later per-
suaded her to come here.
While here DR.. O'Malley was
member of the consulting staff of
George Washington University and
the consulting staff of Gallinger
Hospital.
She wrote many scientific articles
for the American Medical Journal
and was member of a number of
medical organizations. In 1884 she
was president of the American Medi-
cal Women's Association. In 1881
she had been delegate from the
latter to the Medical Women's
Congress in Vienna. She was a
fellow of the American College of
Physicians, of which she was past
vice president
Likewise, Dr.. OMalley had be-
longed to the American Medical
Associations = the American Psychi-
atric Association, the District of
Columbia Medical Society, the Dis
trict of Columbia Womens Medical
Society, of which she was a past
president, and the Washington
Sycho-Pathological Society.
Surviving are a brother, John
OMalley, and two sisters, the Misses

died in recent years were judges in

The flower Of Warner Bros shock

little charade is an executed mur-
derer, who is restored to life by a

like all Frankensteins, devours his
benefactor, soul and body-in that
order. Obviously, the producing

the fact that 1t does not have more

That Disputed Kick
Still at Trans.Lux

Last Sunday afternoon there was
a football game in New York, as
some of you may recall, between a
team called the Washington Red
skins and another known as the
New York Giants. Since the final
whistle stopped only that combat
between % men on the field but not
the combat which has been going
on ever since, the Trans-Lux is
continuing its contribution to the
battle, its contribution being three
different news reel companies views
of the contested kick. Incidentally,
not that it has anything to do with
the Trans-Lux, any of you who are
wondering where this controversy
will end should know that the Mid
die West will still argue at the drop
of a hat over whether or not a
forward pass touched the ground
in an 1llinois-Ohio State game
which must have been all of 20 years
ago.
That other much-discussed con-
troversy of this year, the one being
engaged in over in Europe, is COW
cred rather more thoroughly in this
weeks Trans-Lux bill than it has
been for several past weeks, too.
Both the British and the French
have released some new pictures,
and there are various views of action,
such as it Is, on the western front,
OF Holland opening dikes, of Bel
gians examining mines washed
ashore. of captive balloon going
berserk in Scotland.

Even without her, the picture W0ulQ
be considerably more than an aver
age western. With her 1t b def
nitely an event, as surprising as 1t
would be to find Mae West play
ing Florence Nightingale.
It is to Universal Pictures that
Miss Dietrich owes her recovery and
she, James Stewart, Una Merkel,
Charles Winninger, Mischa Auer
and many others make inspired fun,
with flecks of drama, Of droll
script in "Destry Rides Again."
BY way of making the occasion
even more gala, Keith's offers this
week thoroughly engrossing issue
Of March of Time. "Newsfronts Of
War-1939" is definitive title and it
tells not merely the story of the
worlds sorriest year but how that
year has been covered by the As
sociated Press, Oldest and great
est news-gathering organizations. 1t
is one of the finest pieces of pic
torial journalism that has come
this way in many a month, grimly
dramatic and Informative.
In the closeness of its outward
resemblance to her Blue Angel" role
that of her new picture might rep
resent an entirely fresh start for
Miss Dietrich. Once again she is
a beautiful dance hall dame, a girl
OF luster, fire, turgid past and q
present that is rosy as to moral tone
if not in its tint of happiness. She
can hurl quart of whisky with
murderous force If not always per-
feet aim, she can plop a love rival
IN the right spot with q well-aimed
kick, and she can put on a wrestling
bout with Miss Merkel of sufficient
violence and realism to make Uncle
Joe Turner weep out of sheer envy.
Not even that is all, for, incidentally,
Miss Dietrich still can roll an eye
and otherwise pantomime the words
come hither" with skill peculiarly
her own and so long seemingly lost
to the cinema public.
The picture in which Miss Die
trich accomplishes all these beguil-
ing tricks Is half-kidding, half
serious revelation of the old West,
where men were drunken roisterers,
crooks or great heroes and women
were not the kind who worried
about permanents.
