that the Canadian National Railways failed by $52,000,000 in 1928 to earn their operating ex- penses, taxes and fixed charges. The Canadian people paid nearly $6 each per annum in taxes to make up the deficit. That is the sort of “say- ings” usually effected under political operation of industries with government’ property, time and power being used for personal and political rather than public purposes.

I+ is a call to think- ing, cherishing citizens of every party to rally in peaceful defense of the ideals of Mberty proclaimed hy the fathers in tne Bill of Rights and serving ever since as the sheet anchor of individual freedom, Mr. Butler, who 'is. chairman -of the Kepublican national committee, is aware that the resonant, eloquent voice of John W. Davis has been reised against this proposal to take away the authority of the United States Supreme ‘court to say with finality whether or not an act; of congress fs in Violation of the funda- mental law of the land. In common witn most of the impartial political forecasters, however, he believes there is small likelihood, Jf any, that Mr. Davis will be elected in Novem- ber. He says: , Through a combination of circum- stances unusual in our political lif Join W. Davis, the Democratic presidential nominee, a distinguished constitutional lawyer, has appar- ently been eliminated from the con- test. Many Democrats have openly aligned themselves with the Socialist third party, ard a considerable num- ber, with adroitness but less honesty, ure campaigning under both the atic and Socialist third party nners. Nominally Democrats, these are pledged to the LaFollette program. As chatrman-of the Re- publican national committee I haye no fear for the election of Mr. Cool- idge, but as an American’ citizen I want such a plurality at the polls, and such a majority in the Electoral college, as will forever lay the ‘ver of constitutional destruction.

But it is a rare thing to hear of one weeping over the victims of his crimes. It is that the moral is not thought of and lived sufficiently before crime is cimmitted?Does the philosophy of egoism—of living for self-interest alone—so poison the minds of those who allow it to develop that they be- come incapable of understanding any woe but their own or of thinking any deed evil at which they are not caught? Slow to Think John W. Davis pays that “the very appoint- ment of a man Tike Gaston B. Means to office was enough to warrant the removal of Mr. Daugherty from office.” Means got into the pub- lic service under the Wilson administration, in the department of justice of which John Ww. Davis was then solicitor general. It is passing strange that Mr. Davis did not think of this nt that time, (reewegy Samuel Gompers, Democrat, has issued anoth- er statement declaring his opposition to John W. Davis and Bryan and his intention to cast a pro- SPENCE BU A a CGN AI 1 decision of the supreme court that an act of congress is invalid under the terms of the nation’s charter. The extract quoted from the LaFol- lette program is, of course, the sheerest buncombe. The supreme court does not consult its own feel- ings and predilections in passing on congressional legislation. It mere- ly consults the Constitution, the fundamental guide and compass, and decides whether the legislation in question conforms with or is at variance with the powers and limi- tations set down in the govern- mental charter. Chairman Butler makes the point that if power is given to congress to annul the Constitution in any particular, the same power extends to the document in its entirety, The Constitution, he says, is not a prom- Ise but a guarantee of individual rights such as freedom of speech, assembly and religious worship, trial by jury, employment of habeas corpus, inviolability of the home, and immunity from unauthorized search and seizure. These rights would be put in jeopardy if the pro- tectlve power of the courts were curbed as proposed. The Constitu- tion would no longer be, as now, a bulwark for weak and strong, rich and poor, without distinction of race, creed or color of skin. In the light of all the possibilities the coun- try might about as well be without a Constitution at all. and without basic principles of government. Here is a doctrine that’ deserves the sharpest possible challenge and rebuke at the polls—a rebuke that may serve to ‘put the LaFollette proposal.on tre shelf for all time where the dust of oblivion may bury it-out of sight. This is a fit’ cam- paign battle cry for the wise citizen- ship of the land without regard to party or personal creed. Desert to American Ships A number .1! facts of considerable importance are developed as a re- sult.of a complaint by British ship- ping interests to the’! effect that seamen on British merchant ships are deserting in the United: States and finding employment on ships under the American flag.

Americanization Not only that, but the character of American -sea- has been attained. men has been steadily improving. Recent comparison of actual wage costs on American and foreign ships shows that the wage cost of mann- ing an 8,800 dead-weight-ton coal is nearly twice that of a British ship Taking this type ship as a basis, in July, 1924, the British vessel employed a crew of 39 at a monthly, wage cost of $1,783. The American vessel carried a c Tap. anese ship mustered a crew of 61 The Swedish ship paid $1,821 to its crew of 40. And the Norwegian ship carried 42 on its payroll at a cost of $1,100. These are our chief, competitors in Of these, Great Britain is the most formidable. If it be true, as charged that Brit- ish seamen are deserting to seek employment on American ships, this demonstrates that American shipping provides more attractive working conditions. It demonstrates the American scale of wages is not only higher in dol- ‘ars but higher in net returns to the seamen when dill his expenses From. a Brit- ish source we have practical con- firmation of the assertion that it costs more to operate ships under the American flag and the American standard of living and working con- ‘Thus is confirmed the con- tention of ship owners that some sort of advantage should be provid- ed as a means of counterbalancing this lower cost of operating British burning American steamship of similar type. of 41 at a cost of $3,466.
