If Examples Are Needed

THE people of Detroit should need no incentive to con-
i tribute their quota to the Second War Loan
drive. Surely, by all realize the stark necessity
of responding to this call for financial war help.
And Detroit will rally it always has rallied to such
calls Detroit will keep clean its record of having over
subscribed its quota in every such drive since the begin
ming of the first world
But JUSTIN any of us need little extra spur,
examples of how neighbors are
performing
Detroit policemen, working their time in add
ton to their regular duties have sold nearly $7000000
worth of bonds after ID days solicitation
BEDFORD High School girl, IS years old pledged to
sell $1,000 worth of bonds for each year of her life Yes
terday she attained that goal and went right out to
double it.
And here's an item that should make each one of us
dig down deeper into his purse.
There are about 1000 Chinese residents in Detroit
With characteristic they made boasts about
their participation in the bond drive They just bought
bonds.
They bought upwards of 100000 worth That
means $500 per person.
How are the rest of us matching that score?

We Lose a Good Man

n ESIGNATION of Fred A. Nolan as general manager
N of the DSR is unfortunate for street railway
system and for the millions of petroers who patronze
it. especially unfortunate at this time with the DSR
undermined in operating personnel and with demands
upon its facilities heavier than ever before,
Nolan of course not lrrepaceable, but he is very
good traction executive; admittedly of the best IN
America Otherwise he would not have been so eagerly
snatched up at almost twice his present salary by the
Chicago Surface Lines 10 run their system which is the
largest in point Of mileage IN the world
NOLAN probably likes money well as the next man,
" but it is fairly doubtful he would have quit his DSR
post had he received the past couple of years any
reasonable measure Of cooperation from the DISK COM
missoners and the city administration In his opinion
and in the minds of observers conversant with the
situation, such cooperation has been obviously and
=pointediy lacking
He knows more about running street and buses
than Mayor Jeffries and Commissioner Sam Gilbert and
all the rest the administration together barring maybe
: few technical DSR employees.
But in spite of that he has been perssently snubbed
and rebuffed and in than one instance, directly
double-crossed by the very superors who should have
stood shoulder shoulder with him his fight to give
Detroit decent transportation.
IF FOR some obscure reason they didn't want him
Mayor Jeffries and Gilbert should have fired him two
years ago instead of sniping at him and using him
whipping boy for their administrative plumbers. Appar-
emily they would have dropped him if they could have
found anybody satisfactory to replace him
Now 1t is their move and they'd better pray for luck
They'll need plenty
The mayor has been unable even to find an acceptable
the open market compared to operating executives
The mayor enjoys following of bright young theorists

ITWOULD seem wiser to look for hardboed practical

cessfu candidates for the Chicago job Nolan just
accepted

Letters to the Editor

TO THE EDITOR:
ONE of the most peculiar mis-
" understandings of the Con-
stitution, very commonly heard
in circles that ought TO know
otherwise, relates 10 the socalled
monetary clause which says that
Congress shall have power to
COIN money. regulate the value
thereof, and of foreign coins.
Though the provision expressly
refers to the COMING Of
money. and hence exclusively to
METAL money, all kinds OF
arguments are used TO make II
appear that Congress must regu-
hate the PURCHASING POWER
of money under this clause.
However desirable a man
aged currency" may appear TO
certain politicians their efforts
cannot be based on this clause
of the Constitution, VIII c h
merely gives Congress power to
COIN money mot 10 issue
paper money. that always will
be the deciding factor in any
managed currency.
The expression Ito regulate
the valueeshereof'' has various
bearings, all referring TO the
coinage of money First. II may
grant the power IA decide the
gold contents OF the coin unit,
that is TO say, how many grains
EFF geld a dollar shall legally
contain. whether 25S grains as
was tho case mp to the deValu-
alton. or 1928 as after the de-
valuation. or any other weight
decided upon.
The value Of the coins may
also be decided by their dcnomi-
nations. that is 10 saw whether
gold pieces of s., $40. so are
TO be issued. or possibly 81. 81

10-cent. 25-ccnt pieces. etc. or.
possibly. in 2-ccnt, 3-cCnt. =

is this regulation that IS given
IN Congress under the ConStitu-
ton
Regarding the value of for
eign coins. II must be lemem-
bcrcd that at the time OF the
Constitution foreign coins, par
ticularly English and Spanish.
circulated freely in tho States.
that is 70 saw both gold and
silver coins. While the value Of
the gold coins would be decided
by their weight and fincncSS.
and by nothing else, tho value
Of the foreign fractional cur
rency depended on many things.
particularly whether the foreign
governments redeemed 81 G h
fractional currency with gold.
and II was therefore quite rca-
Sonablc that Congress should
have tho power 10 regulate The
value OF such coins within this
country.
The so-callcd managed cur
rcncy' that is 10 say. how much
corn or coal or grain, etc. a
dollar is AZ any time able 10
buy. is n very modern idea. and
IS based on the amount Of
money present at any time in
the country. such money being
paper money and nuctuatin-
according 10 the directions OF

paper money has never been
issued by the government under
the coming clause OF the Con-
Sutution but solely under the
clause granting power 10 use

~ had the privilege Of making
the acquaintance of the Hon.
Van Buren, Perry, circuit judge
at Aberdeen, s, -.
Judge Perry'S reputation as
sound and fearless jurist is not
confined to his own circuit or
state, and the following excerpts
from remarks made by him when
pronouncing sentence on a sol
der who was brought before him
on a serious charge will be Of
unusual interest TO many OF our
readers.
T1IS is the time appointed for
l. pronouncing sentence upon
Robert Bruce Vanderwalker,
upon his plea of guilty 10 a
charge of manSlaughter in the
first degree by killing one Doro-
thy Blair. in the heat of passion,
in a cruel and unusual manner.
the duty Of the court is TO
determine upon a just sentence
to salvage anything possible
out OF the sorry mess, and do
any ing possible to guard
against and prevent a repetition
of crime which might be induced
or fostered by the conditions
which bred this one.
WHAT the defendant did and
w how he did it is we'll known
10 the court and the public.
From dispositions already taken
by the court and from admissions
made TO the court by the de-
PENDANT, it is clear that the
defendant was very drunk in
deed His voluntary intoXica-
ton is no defense to the crime,
but it may be considered by the
court in determining whether
the defendants normal character
is such that he can ever be re-
leased with safety.
II is pot the province OF the
court TO exact revenge. The
sentence should fit the offender
as well as the offense. To aid the
court in estimating the char
acter of the offender, both the
state and the defense are now
given an opportunity to offer
evidence.
(Hcre, evidence was pre-
scntcd by the defense and
state as 10 the crime and the
character of the defendant,
and addresses were made by
l.. r. Van Slyke for the de-
PENDANT and Elmer Thurow for
the state, following which
Judge Van Buren, Perry made
the following remarks in pass

both TO the state and to the
defendant.
Nothing that has been brought
10 my attention constitutes any
legal defense or any valid reason
for the horrible crime which
this defendant committed.
II was one Of the most serious
crimes that can be committed.
Except only for the absence of a
premeditated design TO kill, the
defendants actions would have
constituted murder. The effect
OF his actions were the same.
A human life has been wan
tonly and brutally taken by him
and this court would not be
either performing justice or dis

which rests upon the court if the
defendant were 60 be given any
