In the winter he hauled coal at 50 cents a load. He slept in a stable with bales of hay for a mattress and mos- quitoes were his alarm clock of a morning. Now he is “the cantaloupe king” of America, controlling one-sixth of the country’s production of that luscious fruit. Some 40 carloads of melons go forth from his California ranch each d.

Have his riches brought forgetfulness of the hard past and its associations? No. Alfred Segal tells about it in the Cincinnati Post. Stephen A. Gerrard is the “king’s” ‘mame. The other day he caused to be published in the Papers an invitation to a whole city to visit his “back yard” and see the roses. He served punch from great Is and a radiophone furnished music from far cities. le had 1,600 guests. Some walked there; others rode on street cars and still others in limousines—the poor nd the rich—neighbors. Said Gerrard: “One must not ask one’s neighbors ‘Who are you?’ *What is your social position?’ ‘How much have you in the bank?’ We are all friends together, and the beauty | and the goodness of the world was created to be the in- theritance of all. If I have something that others may enjoy, I believe in’ sharing it with them.” And again: “Now, my garden is full of fragrance and beauty at this time of the year. It is the living testimony of God’s Toving kindness, but He did not create it for my eyes alone. So I invited all who love beauty to come and joy it with me.” ~ Gerrard is more than “king.” human.

Gov. Richie of Maryland is one of the first to act on this re- Addressing the Maryland Bar brought forth an argument against Senator Borah’s proposal to require at least a seven to two vote by the court before an act of “But the final answer to Senator Borah is Whenever you restrict the power of the Majority, you necessarily increase the power of the minority. This proposal would give the minority power to put into effect a law which the majority believe is unconstiutional.” On the face of it, there is an argument that will appeal to many a lawyer. It says that if more than two judges—three, for ex- ample—declare a law is constitutional, they may thereby exer- cise greater power in that particular case than the six judges who In other words, of the present five to four practice will stand very long on the sia in 184 f the terri For a bigger institution than the su- tory le now netting Uncle Bam a preme court is the U.S. government as a w ernment is composed of three parts—legislative, judicial. The most that can be claimed for the judiciary is that it is one of three equal parts. Every act of congress that reaches the supreme court is signed by the president and so represents the will of two of the three parts of the government. The supreme court itself is a minority of one against a majority of two every time it undertakes to declare any act of congress unconsti- No, while this majority argument is the best that has been ad- vanced thus far, it will not be found convincing by those who are determined thru the Borah plan, the LaFollette plan, the Owens lan or some other plan not yet brought forward, to make it harder for the supreme court to nullify the will of the people. a Acceptance of the “majority rule” doctrine of Gov.
