Tinkering With the Court has been the favorite indoor sport of a few Peo en and senators to try and change the character of the suprem court of our country. It has been a popular political pastime to air the grievances of reformers, labor leaders and radical politicians by attacking the valid- ity of the last court of resort for interpreting laws and constitution. Senator Borah has been particularly savage in talking about five-to-four decisions and pro- posed a bill requiring that 7 out of 9 judges con- cur in pronouncing any act of congress uncon- stitutional. Charles Warren, former assistant attorney general of tlie United States, in the Saturday Evening Post of October 13, shows that the ac- tual fact on this particular matter is that in 134 years of the existence of the United States su- preme court, there have been axectly nine of these five-to-four cases in which an act of con- gress was held unconstitutional. Senator LaFollette goes further and proposes to amend the constitution so that if the supreme court or any inferior federal judge declares an act of congress unconstitutional, congress may, by re-enacting the law nullify the court action. “Senator Borah’s amendment would give a mi- nority of two judges such tremendous monopoly of power that majority rule on the supreme court in rendering decisions will seem to any ordinary mind to be infinitely more fair than seven-to-two decisions. The LaFollette amendment would destroy the theory of equality between the three great branches of our government—the representative, executive and judicial. Women, Children and Tariff The children’s bureau of the department of labor made a study of child welfare during the industrial depression of 1921. The report which has just been made public forms one of the most valuable contributions in support of a rotective tariff that has ever been written. In Tracaaat ting fie report ths Uisda vote havrres groups of children suffer not tempor. ary but permanent losses as a result of a period of industrial depression. Those who are inter- ested in raising the standard of our citizenship better care of the children cannot re- $9.00 2. 4 2.25 a ‘poverty caused by an industrial crisis, these re- sources have not been sufficient to prevent very great suffering in family groups stricken with the misfortune of loss of work by the father.” | The distressing conditions, the suffering of women and children the lowering of family standards, the destruction of family morale, so accurately described in the report, prevail |whenever a free trade law closes American in- )dustries and throws American wage earners out jof employment. The report did not state that the industrial depression of 1921 was due to Demo- cratic policies, but in point of fact it was. Those who claim the tariff is not a moral is- sue, that it is a cold-blooded proposition which does not concern the spiritual or mental wel- fare of the people, can find in the report a great deal of food for reflection. The industrial depressions of the last sixty years in the United States have been coincident with Democratic tariffs which failed to give pro- tection to American industries, permitted the importation of vast quantities of cheaply made foreign goods, and retired American labor from employment. The effects of such depression is clearly set forth in the welfare 1-port and it is commended for the consideratiin of those who may have some undefined notion of not lettin, well enough alone. We are sure the women an children who suffered in the depression of 192L do not desire a return of the conditions that produced it. The Democratic party stands for the things which bring depressions. The Re- publican party fosters the things which produce prosperity. The choice is yours. The Neglected Truth Hentry Ford fs publishing a weekly newspap- er which pretends to be a “chronicler of the neg- lected truth.” Just now he is endeavoring to cast suspicion upon the present management of the shipping board which is trying desperately hard to make the best of the most mismanaged gov- ernment enterprise even undertaken by any gov- ernment. The present administration inherited the extravagantly constructed merchant fleet from the Wilson administration. But it was ator, so, of course, Ford is not telling any neg- lected truths about the Wilson administration. Perhaps that truth has been so long neglected that Ford thinks it is history, and of course he thinks “history is bunk.” But those of the American ple who read his periodical will not fail to discern his gross discrimination. If it be true, which need not be admitted, that the present management of the board is spending some money unwisely, such expenditures are beneath consideration in com- parison with the amounts spent unwisely and in defiance of every principle of good business, by the Wilson administration. {f the present ad- ministration is wasting some money, it is not wasting one dollar where the Wilson adminis- tration wasted a hundred, in connection with the shipping board fleet corporation. Apparently Mr. Ford has no intention of try- ing to be fair in the discussion of important mat- ters of public interest. He has embarked upon a crusade against the people of one race and re- ligion and wherever he sees a head that bears the imprint of the race he whacks it. He has been waging war upon the shipping board because Albert D. Lasker, a Jew, was appointed chairman by President Harding. Ford alleges that although Lasker is no longer chair- man his policies are still followed. If Mr. Ford wishes to make war upon the Jews, that is his privilege, and the general public will feel little interest until he lets his prejudices manifest themselves in his discussion of public affairs. war upon the Jews color his presentation of facts, then the matter becomes of more than sonal and sectarian interest—it involves public welfare. If Mr. Ford will show as much zeal in dis- closing the bad management of the shipping board in the period of Wilson control as he is manisfest in an effort to discredit the pres- ent management, he can show far more facts of public interest with far less effort. Moreover, he may thereby convince the public that he has an intention to be fair and a real desire to “chronicle the neglected truth.” Increasing Use of Oil With the rapid increase in the use of crude gard as outside the field of their concern pro- for preventing unemployment and, fail- in a program of prevention, measures which are necessary for safeguarding the children dur- a period of unemployment.” findings of the survey showed that when men_were out of work great distress resulted in the homa. Those who were Daye icenes on the mortgage installment plan faced the loss of their homes and of money invested. Those who had ac- cumulated savings during Prosperous times ex- hausted all of their savings during the period of unemployment in an endeavor to obtain the nec- easities of life. The report states: “Highty-threa per cent of the families had gone into debt because of the father’s loss of work or were unable to continue payments for which they had obligated themselves while the father was working. Sixty-six per cent had gone into debt for food; 35 per cent for medical at- tendance; 23 per cent for rent; 20 per cent for its on houses, taxes and interest; 16 per cent for fuél and light; 15 per cent for insurance premiums. Only one per cent had gone into debt for merchandise.” Children were taken out of school in order to find work which they could do in a desperate effort to piece out the family income. Further- more, those who did not leave school because of school laws undoubtedly would be taken out of school as soon as it was legally possible in or- der to pay off debts incurred during the indus- trial depression. In summing up the report con- tains this: “Besides the deprivation of materia] needs, there is the suffering that perhaps can be under- stood only by those who have themselves been the victims of. the dread uncertainty and fear that besets a workingman’s family when the father is ‘laid off’ The most important feature of unemployment is its effect on the family mor- oil and its manufactured products all over the world, it is remarkable that the cost of these articles to the consumer has declined. A few years ago there was a craze in our country to heold up oil lands in naval and other reserves by the government, which naturally re- stricted production and kept stiffening prices to the people. With the new policy of cur government, aban- doning monopolization of oil lands, and leav- ing production to the initiative of private enter- prise, there has been enormous expansion of the oil industry, with declining prices. It stands to reason that if the government un- dertook price fixing of oil products there would be the same depression of production and ad- verse manipulation of prices, and in the end the consumer would pay dearly for any government interference. Rapid extension of the use of fuel oil is threat- ening the coal industry and the end is not yet in sight. State or federal interference with any indus- try creates new problms that only multiply the burdens of government and are usually taken ad- vantage of by managers of the industry aimed at. Who Runs This Country? If the country does not make a success of the Highteenth amendment it will be the result of the surrender of decent living Americans to bootleggers. booze makers and their ilk, which iene in the people who drink illicit liquor as well. The question we have before us is this: | Who runs this country, anyhow? There is o quarrel with the people who are honestly of the belief that the Eighteenth amend- ment is unwise and ought to be repealed. They ale—the father idle about the house, unsettled, disheartened; the mother going out to work if she can secure it, and using up every bit of her strength in the double task of providing for the family’s maintenance and caring for the house- hold and the children; the children suffering from the de»ression and uncertainty of what the future may mean, which is even more to be dreaded than the discomforts of the immediate resent. : “Unemployment, then, because it means lower- ed family standards, anxiety » Jread, the loss of savings, and the mortgaging of the future, has a direct and disastrous effect upon the welfare of children. While communities are usually able to organize their resources so that children are not removed from their own homes b ause of have every right to work for repeal, but it must be done in an orderly fashion. In the meantime |they should be as willing to uphold the consti- jtution as it stands as is the most ardent be- |liever in prohibition. | No After Repudiation A prominent Demecratic editor says that “after the treaty was signed, America withdrew and repudiated the president.” That is scarcely a true statement.

Probable Deadlock Congress will meet next month with political conditions substantial- ly unchanged. Both branches will be so close, although organized by the Republicans that Republican con- trol of legislation will be nominal. A small radical group drawing in- |splration from Senator La Fo'lette will hold the balance of power. The government will be deadlocked be tween rival parties, with nothing of consequence promised by conditions amounting to legislative paralysis The country must await another presidential election for re'ease from this tmprisonment of {ts constructive forces.—Springfield (Mass.) Republi- can. Farmers’ Resentment Farmers must feel resentment over the palaver of professional pol- {ticlans who try to make agricul- | tural conditions seem worse than the facts will warrant in order to curry favor, but who can offer no logical solution for farm problems. If we were farming we would welcome sin- cere cooperation, but we would shun condescension from people who amount to lesa, whose hope is less. The farmer has a big business. He has a large sphere of varied possi- bilities. Sometimes he wins; some- times he loses, but in the long run his comfortable gain would make his anxious political adviser turn green with envy. As he looks down from his estate, he must regard with amusement the studied compas- sion of self-seeking small potatoes.— Wayne (Nebr.) Herald.

Without a generous ition from at! the members of this community this readiness will not be possible. With the funds in the Community Chest the several different charitable organizations and ether sources deserving finan- clal assistance can be quickly and effectively taken care of. The goal set for the Community Chest is $54,000.00. That this will easily be attained to be expected because the various team captal: are already preparing the worke: for intensive solicitation on Monday, the third day of December. In or- der to make the task of these work- ers as light as possible it would seem advisable for all the citizens of Casper to thoroughly familiarize themselves with the reasons for creating a Community Chest so that it won't be necessary for the volun- teer workers to deliver lengthy and unnecessary appea's in obtaining in- dividual contributions.
