THE SUPREME COURT AND UNCONSTI TUTIONAL LAWS. Supreme Seattle Judge W. D. Askren Court Justice of this State, business men last week that: “The greatest protection the people have is the right of courts to declare statutes un- constitutional.” In a democracy, where the people are supposed to make their own laws, this is equivalent to saying that “the greatest pro- tection the people have is the right of courts to protect the people from themselves.” So long as people consent to govern- ment, which is voluntary submission to the authority of law, they will accept the prin- ciple of a supreme legal authority. They will respect that authority only when it is clear- ly used for their protection. Many millions of people seriously and honestly question the quality of protection they received when the Eighteenth Amend- ment was declared constitutional, just as other millions question protection given to the Nation's youth by declaring child labor legislation unconstitutional. In both cases, and in others, respect for courts and, therefore, respect for law, have suffered. Courts should never forget that, while they have the power to extend protection to the people, they are still creatures of the people. If they permit general respect for tehm to become alienated by their own acts, their power will depart The people very properly could reply to Judge Askren that the greatest protection the courts hdveé Is for judges, so far as pos< sible, to permit people to govern them- selves. That is democracy, and in the end the people will not permit all the power of the courts to prevail against it.—(Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) The power of the Supreme Court to declare a former told regularly enacted law unconstitutional amounts to a|then there dies with it one of the most quaint and | lot more than “the right of courts to protect people from themselves,” but that protection is sometimes well worth while. This power in the Supreme Court might protect the people from a bribed or impas- sioned or cowed Legislature or Congress. It com- pels public opinion to move in orderly manner toward progress rather than to ride rough-shod over people. It sometimes protects the minority in its proper rights from the vengeance of over-heated passion or a fanatically driven majority. Sometimes it might protect the rights of a majority from legislation forced on a Legislature by an organized minority bloc. What is the use of a written Con- stitution if Legislatures might disregard it with impunity? More dangerous than the right of the Supreme Court to declare a law of Congress unconstitutional is the sometimes tendency of courts to defer to what they believe to be the state of public opinion. Probably most of the able lawyers of the country expected the Supreme Court to declare the Volstead Act unconstitutional, and many of them believe that the court decision in the premises was an attempt to interpret public opinion rather than the Constitution. MR. BEHRENDS'S SUGGESTION GOOD. We approve the suggestion made the other day by B. M. Behrends that the block in front of the new Capitol ought to be added to the Capitol grounds. That applies also to all or a part of the block lying between Third and Fourth Streets and east of Main Street. Parts of both blocks are needed for street purposes and the remainder of them ought to be landscaped in order to set off the Capitol The Federal Government has invested more than three quarters of a million in a handsome and utilitarian building, and it is fronting on a street only thirty-four feet in width. That street ought to be made wider—and the Capitol grounds ought IS to be extended and beautified. That cannot be done except that the extension be across Fourth Street. We believe that if proper representations were made to Congress the Federal Government would provide the funds necessary not only to purchase the property involved but to landscape and care for the grounds. It has purchased and beautified ? Jands to set off public buildings in other places, " and we believe it would do so here B/ ECONGRATULATIONS TO MR. HAWKESWORTH.

Topping a climax of 18 months of log-rolling, the Senate has approved the Hawley-Smoot “Tariff Bill. At a time when the condition of American industry is such as to require every possible en- {couragement, the gentlemen of the Senate have |sought to place on American industry and the American people a burden that cannot fail to be severely damaging. Not one of the Senators who voted for the Rill is willing to indorse it whole- heartedly. Not one! Joseph R. Grundy, who has long viewed the tariff as the personal instrument of certain Penn- sylvania industries, says that the bill is not satis- factory, but fears that he would have to wait too long for a better one.

While the drift from farm to city |is shown to be greatly retarded, the cities are swal- lowing up the youth of the small towns. Some of | ithe villages have been found to be almost uhin- habited, as forlorn in their desuetude as a mining |camp after the vein is worked out. Others are peo- pled only by the aged. Long ago the slow and dusty turnpike gave way to the motor road. The shady somnolence that mildly echoed the crunch of buggy wheels now 1s shattered by the peremptory horn signals of farmers driving through to the city for trade and pleasure. | No one pulls up now with a pleasant “Whoa” to chat under the elms or exchange township gossip across a white picket fence. Front yards, once |velvety and gay with phlox and petunia, are forsaken |to the weeds. Rose vines, irked by long discipline, |' at last attack doors and windows. The village seems fo be dying. If it dies its, slayers are the automobile, the motor bus, the 'chaln(store. Economically and intellectually these may bBe good; sentimentally they are a great pity.| Soon, perhaps, there will be no old residents to| smoke a cob or push a checker at the general |store, no shrewd patriarchs of the ilk of Scatter- good Baines to wiggle their unbooted toes In the sunshine and think out the problems of troubled men in terms of homely philosophy.

Other countries whose rates are higher than Canada’s on certain products there- fore have it within their power . to reduce their own rates if they desire Canadian goods on the same tariff basis. The Canadian policy, was enunciated by Mr. Dunning, Minister of Pinance, as follows: Canada will not engage in a tariff war with any country. The world shows at the present time too many examples of disaster * following such a course. As a great ex- porting nation our course must be the con- trary one of facilitating trade with those who faciltate trade with us.
