Register complaints Tribune's Ethics The Tribune does not, in soliciting advertis- ing, employ blackjack, dark lantern, or black- mail methods. It docs not invade the skeleton closets and threaten to drag forth the contents to public It does not by misrepresentation, prevart cation, false statements or other deception at- tempt to induce advertising patronage. \ It does not bury its subscription records in dark closets, away from the view of the ad- vertising public; but on the contrary freely exhibits this data to anyone concerned. It has no secrets respecting its business or its business methods in any particular what- soever. 5 It does not pretend to be anything other than that which it can fully substantiate and justify by the most searching and enlightened business methods. F It does not believe in unfairness, trickery or false pertenses, and neither does it practice them in any department. The Tribune is a business institution, guid- ed entirely by tried and approved business methods, with ideals of honor, honesty and fair dealing. rane It is free from envy, malice and vindictive- ness. Does not seek to punish those it does not approve nor exact tribute from those who have substance, for imaginary service. The Tribune has a fixed policy in its busi- ness, its opinion and its general attitude to- ward the public, This policy cannot be influ- enced by either rewards or threats. His Stand On Immigration Those who believed Mr. Coolidge to be al- most reactionary in ideals and policies doubt- less experienced something of a shock when they read the immigration program outlined in his message. Here was no plea for letting down of the bars in accordance with the desires of powerful business interests who desire cheap Jabor, ir- respective of its source or its future effect upon American ideals. Instead, the President is definite in his assertion that “America must be kept American. New arrivals should be lim- ited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. * * * For this reason it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration.” In this, President Coolidge breaks a lance with some of the railroad interests which assert they need immigrant maintenance-of-way em- ployes, and with numerous varieties of manufac- turers’ and business associations. One change from present procedure President Coolidge does suggest. That is that immigra- tion be “of selective nature, with some inspection | at the source.” This is a recommendation that will be indorsed by everyone who wants to see the present monthly race across the Atlantic and the overcrowding at Ellis island done away with, and a more carefully chosen quota of immi- grants brought in. The selection, however, is to be “based either on a prior census or upon the record of natural- ization,” a method akin to that now in vogue. Labor leaders who have been clamoring for a complete immigration “holiday” will argue that this phase of the message falls short of their aims. Criticism may also be heard be- cause there is no definite statement of opposi- tion to some of the moderate increases which have been put forth as an opening wedge for a return to the old conditions. But the spirit of the two paragraphs dealing with this important problem, which is to be set- tled for awhile to come by the present Congress, are unmistakably against such proposals, and they cast an interesting sidelight on this chief executive whose taciturn habits have made him something of an unknown quantity. For they reveal him as a man who, though perhaps a conservative, doesn’t hesitate to break with groups allied with that wing of the Repub- lican party when he thinks they are wrong.

As it is when a member runs and 16|Clear out of inspiration in the manufacture of laws and articles to the constitution he always picks out something to add more government to the government and add more useless over- head to the expense of conducting it. If Mr. Gibson will amend his amendment to read: “Each state shall have not to exceed two representatives in the congress of the United States,” we are for it. So will everybody else be for it, except a mere handful of four hun-! Mr. Gibson and all the rest of his fellows,’ seeking to make some sort of a splash and earn} favor in the sight of constituents, can better do so by reducing tax burdens along the Mellon plan than they can by adding even so small a sum as $37,500 to the budget for salaries. Can't this bird Gibson get it through his head that we are cutting down costs now, not hoist- ing them up. If what he proposes is the gen-| tleman’s idea of things, his folks had better keep him at home. Wyoming is neither hungering nor thirsting for another congressmau until we merit it under It don’t belong to us now because we haven’t the necessary population to claim it, and we, the people, do not seek to push another of our boys into the circus under the canvas. We can get along! very comfortably with what we have at present until our folks become more numerous. We are plain people, and what we want in| government is not a lot of officials, but good ones, and good sense and business instead of | cheap politics. All of which is referred to} Mr. Gibson to chew on in his lonesomeness. What's The Answer? When the Republican national convention assembles in Cleveland it will be undoubtedly composed of picked men from the most orderly classes of American citizenship. Whatever ex- ceptions there may be the great majority of them certainly will be men of good character, devoted to the welfare of the country and to its institutions. The convention will undoubtedly resolve for the enforcement of the constitution and the laws. It is perfectly accurate to say that the prohibitionists of the country. will have a greater confidence in this political body than in that of the other party in its convention, wherever it may be held. Yet the newspapers. are now carrying a dispatch from Columbus, O., to the effect that} |}the State Prohibition Director McDénald will} recruit an additional force of officers, because | jit is feared that bootleggers will attempt to | flood. Cleve d, which is so easily accessible to| \the Canadian line, with liquor, and the director announces that he will vigorously enforce the law against “private stocks.” In Ohio it is un- lawful to transport liquor for personal use. Fines up to $1000 are possible. Now, if this political convention is the one| mainly depended upon to give the most sincere expression to the enforcement of prohibition and, if it is to be composed of men picked from the best citizenship of the country, men with families and homes ,men of good character and enterprise, men with good church connections in most cases, why this announcement of special efforts to keep off bootleggera, who certainly cannot sell anything unless somebody wants to buy? Does the representative citizenship of the country have to be guarded? Must there be a tremendous effort always to keep bootleggers away from bodies solemnly resolving for the enforcement of the law? What is the answer? ‘To Destroy the Constitution Senator Willis, of Ohio is not overstating the case when he declares that there is a movement on foot “to destroy the constitution of the Un-| ited States.” The propositions now pending in Congress that the constitution shall be so} amended that congress in a moment of political heat or excitement can make any act constitu- tional by repassing it after the Supreme Court has declared it unconstitutional would unques- tionably effect the destructian of the constitu- tion. There is a vicious theory that when any proposition has been put into the Constitution : in the shape of an amendment it is then a con- sistent part of the Constitution and can have no effect on the rest of the instrument. Under such a theory the power of congress to overrule} the Supreme Court would be consistently consti-| tutional and have no effect on the rest of the instrument. But in the nature of the case it would virtually work its destruction. The Constitution is not merely its own text; it is the text as interpreted by the Supreme |Court for over a century. By its decisions the | Constitution has come to have a specific mean- ing in certain connections or circumstances. The decisions rendered by the court in the days of |Chief Justice Marshall, for instance are vir- tually a part of the Constitution in its applica- tion to the relation of the Federal Government to the States or to personal rights. When any case affecting these matters comes up these and other past determinations by the court are the definite expressions of the text of the Constitu- tion. They govern. They are an essential part of the Constitution itself. Now, it is obvious that, if Congress could |meke a statute constitutional after the Supreme Court in the light of past determinations had declared it unconstitutional, that which had be- come constitutional in the determinations of more than a century would be at once thrown into the discard. The whole growth of explicit constitutional interpretation might be swept aside by a mere act of a Congress actuated by ‘a temporary political passion or influenced by |some aggressive lobby using political intimida- |tion as a weapon. This historic interpretation is virtually the Constitution itself, so that it is | quite right to say that the proposed amendment would destroy the very instrument it would amend.

The American nation |has kept its rights by attending to its duties. | But the fashion seems to change.
