Ritchie, former Maryland gov- ernor, the cause of states’ rights has lost a sincere and power- ful friend at a time when it needs every ounce of strength it can muster, for the question of states’ rights is quite as likely to dominate the next campaign as is any question pertaining directly to the constitution. As a “regular” Democrat, Ritchie believed in states’ rights and fought for the principle throughout his lifetime. That was the traditional stand of the Democratic party and Ritchie was in sincere agreement with it. During the years when the Republican party was in con- trol, traditionally pledged to the idea of a strong central gov- ernment, Ritchie found himself in opposition to some of its policies. Thus, when he refused to send Maryland troops to the mines in 1922 to suppress a strike, as suggested by Presi- dent Harding, his action was based on his belief that he should a) he Scenes Washington Observers Believe Supreme Court First Was Against TVA, Then Changed Mind ... Gossips Credit Hughes With Turning Tide ... Four Factors Seen as Swaying Jus- tices im Their Finsl Ruling. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Feb. 27.—Lawyers may differ among themselves as to the breadth or narrowness of the TVA decision, but almost any one of them will still tell you he would give his right eye—or, at least, a couple of minor toes—to know just what went on in the secret U. 8. supreme court conferences which produced the opin- ion. Only nine men know. But the de- duction of those who best know the court and its ways is that there was more turmoil among the black-robed "| gentlemen than at any time previous- ly in this generation. Their idea is that a court which 80 frequently has whacked at New Deal legislation must have been forced in- to a bit of a dither before it handed down a decision favorable to the New Deal. The administration's lawyers, in- cluding some of the most clear-head- ed ones, have it all figured out that a conservative majority of justices orig- inally wrote an opinion which declar- ed TVA and the sale of power uncon- stitutional and that in the 60 days elapsing before the decision the maj- ority was persuaded to change its at- titude—with the exception of Justice McReynolds, who opined TVA was ac- complishing unconstitutional pur- poses. (Chief Justice Hughes, Butler, Sutherland, and Van Devanter agreed TVA had the right to dispose of elec- tric energy developed at Wilson dam and to operate transmission lines, while Brandeis, Roberts, Stone, and Cardozo said the suing minority stock- holders of the Alabama Power com- “stand up for the rights of my state,” as well as upon his con- viction that such action would not settle the dispute. Among advocates of states’ rights, the former Maryland governor was somewhat unique in that he felt the way to strengthen the position of a state government was to keep it financially sound and responsive to the will of the people. To him state government was a sacred trust, not something to be milked for the benefit of a few. In five terms as governor, four more than the state had ever granted to any man, he placed policy above politics to such an extent that even his political opponents never accused him of using his position to build up a political machine. It speaks well for his personal integrity that he could hold the governorship five successive terms with- out hint of scandal. Regardless of one’s position upon the pressing problems of |£s¢- federal government expansion as opposed to states’ rights, it is unfortunate that this voice should be stilled at this moment. Before the people make their decision it is advisable that both sides of the case be ably presented, and no one was better fit- ted to advocate the policy of state responsibility than Governor Ritchie. His sincerity is amply demonstrated by the fact that he had openly broken with the present leaders of his party be- cause he felt they had abandoned the ancient principles of Democracy. Because of this he was willing to take issue with them openly and carry the matter to the people for their deter- mination. Japanese Revolt Bodes Ill Few things demonstrate the uncertain state of world af- fairs so clearly as the revolt in Japan. Nippon is the last great nation to be ruled by a hereditary emperor with autocratic power. As the “son of the sun” his word is law. But even in Japan this authority is maintained only be- cause it is seldom used. The emperor sits as a man apart, gives little public attention to the questions which disturb the popu- lace. The main issue in recent years has been that of democ- racy versus autocracy. A trend toward “liberalism” has been manifest among the people, emphasized by their victory in re- cent elections. The army clique has been peeved. The army ran wild in Manchuria and China against the wishes of many governmental leaders, because the army was not responsible to anyone except the emperor. Recently, how- ever, the civil branch has found a way of keeping the army in hand, the method being the simple one of reducing the funds allotted to it—or at least not increasing them in accordance with army demands, The people supported the anti-militarists, thereby streng- thening their hands. The obvious answer, that of using force, was one which the Japanese well understand, It seems safe to say that Japan’s “national policy” which the revolting of- ficers say they sought to protect, will be followed unless the people of Japan find a Moses to lead them into a more peaceful atmosphere, That this demonstration bodes ill for peace in the Far East cannot be doubted. By their coup the militarists have shat- tered opposition to their plans at home and may now feel free to turn their attention elsewhere. If and when they do—and it looks as if it will be soon— armies again will be on the march and the blood lust will again run rife in the world. Triumph in Hard Work A cure for cancer may be found within three generations, pany had no standing and that their appeal shouldn’t be heard.) * * * Change of Heart Rumored Aside from the long delay on the opinion, there is “evidence” that an original dissenting opinion was such as to cause a change. The concurring opinion of Brandeis, Stone, Cardozo, and Roberts, agreeing as to constitu- tionality, bore evidence that some of it had once been part of a dissenting opinion. Emphasis by Brandeis, who deliver- ed it, on historical evidence that in earlier years the court had been loath to declare acts of congress unconstitu- tional seemed to indicate a presup- Position that the majority had de- clared an act unconstitutional in this In the subsequent legal gossip, Hughes has been given credit for “‘see- ing the light” and persuading Suther- land, Butler, and VanDevanter to go along with him. Motivating Hughes, authorities on the court suggest, must have been a dissenting opinion little short of hair- raising. ‘For aséme time shewliberal Brandeis-Stone-Cardozo minority has been increasingly plain-spoken in ac- cusing the majority of bad faith and disregard of precedent and tradition- al principle. The theory is that the minority’s opinion reached a new climax which wide open, by showing that the maj- ority was flying in the face of prece- dent for 50 years back. zs * *® Possible Influences Cited High up in the administration it is believed that certain external facts also finally influenced the court: 1—The definite romantic popular- ity of TVA, including common belief in its reasonableness, and the fact that to ruin it would be even more unpopular than the decision against AAA. 2—The storm over the AAA and the danger to the court's prestige inher- ent in cumulative effect of a series of opinions arousing mass resentment. 3—Obvious intention of the admin- istration to make use of 6-3 and 5-4 divisions of the court to charge lack of infallibility. 4—The attack on the AAA decision by Senator George W. Norris. * * # Perhaps They Wrangle — Such explanations cannot be taken as gospel, and the court guards its secrets well, But enough justices have whispered to their secretaries in time past to make it plain that the court wrangles like a legislative body and that a majority opinion may be draft- ed 10 or a dozen times before it is enunciated from the bench, New Dealers feel rather good about the decision, though realizing that a court majority may soon show in an- CtDes aes. Faiah fe: ecision A. narrow one indeed. Politically, the visible effect you can expect is a soft-pedalling of criticism by members of the administration it- ministration’s secret approbation.

Dr. Slye believes that the solution may be found through exhaustive compilation and study of family medical records.

She can tell you exactly which mice in her group are susceptible to cancer and where such cancers will appear; it is reasonable to suppose that Similar knowledge could he gained about human beings, if rec- ords were voluminous enough.
