LAW IN THE NEWS
State Constitutions
Aren't Easily Made

scribed simply as form Of
government in which the admin
iStration Of affairs is open to
all the citizens; or "a govern
ment by representatives chosen
by the people
The United States Supreme
Court has defined it this way:
THE distinguishing feature OF
a republican form is the right of
the people to choose their own
officers for governmental admin
istration, and pass their own
laws through the legislative
power reposed in representative
bodies whose legitimate acts
may be said to be those of the
people themselves"
Technically. then. the United
States and each of the States
is a republic, not democracy.
In modern Technology, how
ever, the two are used inter-
changeably to denote a repre-
sentative system; and most peo-
pie mean about the same thing
whether they speak of demo-
cratic or a republican" govern
ment. The major difference is
usually theoretical one: where
as the republican system always
vests power in elected officials,
decisions in a democracy are
made by vote of the people
themselves.

for the break in relations is
physical: and not due to incom-

and edgy." Through no fault
of her own. she had been driv-
ing her husband from her. She
underwent treatment and they
were happily reunited.
In such case. the doctor is
better qualified than the family
lawyer to patch up serious diff
ferenceS between man and wife.
There are thousands of needless
divorces in this country. We
doctors often can cure this COM
mon disease of "divorcitis. All
that stands between us and cure
is immaturity in either husband
or wife. They feel too hurt" to
do anything constructive about
it.
Coming to the problem of Mrs.
S. A. S. one can only guess at
the wisest procedure. 1t seems
evident that the first thing to
do is to get her husband to the
doctor. However. she should re-
member that male climacteric is
not invariably the cause of per-
sonallty change in men over so.
sometimes cerebral arterio-
scleroSis will do it. At other
times. several small unrecognized
strokes change a nice" man
into a difficult" one. OF course.
there is always the possibility
that the present cussedness is
continuation of the bad humor
OF former years! Some people
are congenitally sour. Whatever
the possibility. guessing will not
bring 1t out in the open. For in
stance, Mr.. S. A. S. may unknow-
lngly have duodenal ulcer that
is logging him. His irritability
may be due to unbearable
stomach discomforts such as
pain and burning.
III seems, Mrs. S. A. S. that
your first need is to get your
husband to your doctor. Ii is
the doctors job to transform
him into a tractable. sweet. sort
OF person. If the doctor can't
find a physical cause for your
husbands acid temperament.

Drafting a new State conSti-

of the fact that legal require

is in anticipation of congress
sional approval of Alaska as a
State-which may or may rot
happen.
The Alaskan legislature has
allowed S262,000 and rs work
ing days for the task, which
delegates now say may not be
enough. They have plenty of
problems, not the least of which
is securing grasS-roots opinion
on what the constitution should
contain and explaining proposed
articles to puzzled constituents.
In regard to what State con-
stltutions must contain. there is
a single basic requirement:
1t is the one stipulated in the
Federal Constitution that the
United States shall guarantee
to every State in this Union a
republican form of govern
ment
The word republican of
course, does not refer to a po-
Itlcal party but to system of
government.
What is a republican form OF

plotting college. and l dare not
tell him the truth.
Jane-I am in love with a man
who loves me. do not consider
him a married man, and he does
not consider himself married.
There is a woman who refuses
to divorce him only because she
wants price he cannot meet.
I am not living with him and l
am serious about finishing COL
Ilege and going into a profession
so that l can help him meet his
problems. My mother found out
about a few intimate occasions,
and she is trying to make a
tragedy out of the situation.
l think it is immoral for me
to marry a man who loves me
when I feel l belong to another.
l think my mother should stop
being tragic and leave me alone.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
This mother is taking far too
much on herself. She has no
right attempting to force her
daughter into a fake marriage.
and she has even less right to
usurp her husbands place as
James father.
He should be told what is 60
ing on. Mrs. j. M. L. thinks he
is too eXcitable to know. She IS
probably wrong In any event.
he has right to know about his
daughter, and he would be de-
frauded if decisions were made
without his knowledge.
Jane may possibly be too far
gone to be saved from this stu
alton, but her mother is not
much help now when she con-
fronts her daughter with the
picture of an emotionally un-
stable father and tries to force
"a marriage that is perhaps as
immoral as the affair she is try
ing to break UP.
When one parent usurps the
authority of another on the pre-
text that the other is incom-
potent or unstable. this fact
alone tends to undermine a
.child's confidence in the wisdom
of either parent.
Jane has a secret relationship
that violates the moral code. but
her mother is extensively self
righteous in hiding this vital
matter from her husband. She
should start setting things in or
der by Strengthening out herself
and setting a good example.

BY and large the landscape be-
low is monotonously gray-green
or black-green. Here and there,
however. the surface of the
desert sea is spotted thickly with
yellow. The spots are yellow
treetops. They look like yellow
waves on a gray sea. There are
rare patches of lavender and
now and then a protruding tree
top with white or yellow

The sea desert below seems al

The treetops do not seem alive.
There are no birds flying over

Setting these enchanting
