Thus the act would be In force for two jours, and possibly longor duo to the flood of work that new deal legislation has forced upon the United States supremo court. Tho congress could put NKA back on tho law books the same way. iiut the difference between NltA und AAA Is that nobody seoms to want any more NRA while thero is still considerable of a demand for farm rollef legislation. So far as the moral aspects are concerned it would be no worse to pass AAA over the supremo court's veto than it was to pass It In the beginning. Certainly there were lawyors In congress who knew perfectly well thut the AAA law would be found, unconstitutional and yet raised not a finger to pro vent Its pussnge. Hut tho pooplo of tho Untied States of America are still very proud of our constitution the rav ings of the "leftists" to tho con trary, notwithstanding. If the con gress should deliberately Bttompt to short-circuit the constitution by passing more legislation that Is ob viously unconstitutional, the puople of the country, tho voters, will not stand for It. Under tho constitution the right of amendment Is given to tho p o o p 1 e and unauthorized amendment by congross will not bo tnforutod If such action Is rec ognized for what It really Is.

RAMBLINGS NEWS-REVIEW. MAN By PAUL JINKINt TUB ORKtiONIAN hus boon able opponent of puyment of the sollders' bonus. It has been a consistent one, and I believe a con scientious one, as far as that goes. It takes the loss of the battle as gracefully, p o r baps, as you or I ' would have done under tho sumo c i rcumstanccs; hut no more so. No, not a bit more bo. In tho conclud ing paragraph or this morning's editorial It has the following to say: There 1b tills word thnt might bo said to the veterans, so soon to receivo their bonus bonds: The bonus wus not shaken down from a sugarplum tree. It comes or will como out of added luxation, Willi taxes steadily mounting to puy Mr Kooscveltlun experiments toward tho more abundant life. The bonus money will represent the labor and effort and naif-denial of millions or heavily taxed, economically under privileged follow cltlxons. Take good care of It, and spend it wise ly. It Is money whose origin is de serving of much respect." The soldiers aro not apt to cavil at ihut advice, clothed though It Is wltli a weight of savage disappoint ment in the warning. The advice Is good, 'at any rate. The soldiers will wonder, how over, concerning the timeliness of It. Thoy will sny to themselves, why didn't wo hear more of this kind of advice in 1!P1"? They will remeinber only too woll, I am afraid, the ringing exhortations which came to thorn from their slatosmon, their press, their min istry, to lay asldo tho thought of ull financial cost, the ties of homo and loved ones, to cast everything out of tholr minds except a great surge of pul holism und a burning dcHlro to prelect tile homes uud Iho fortunes of their fellow citi zenry which olhoiwlse, Ihey wore 1'leroely told, would be destroyed. Later, they wero not only re quested to do Ibis, but forced lo do it. When a citizen of u free anil an enlightened country such us ours, Is forced Into liny line or con duct, his compensation should at least approximate that of his more rorluuato neighbor who stood lo gain much as a result uf his con strained efforts, while being ullow- ed to choose their own. That the general public lias re :0KiiUcd its dcht !o t'.o soldiers Is extremely gratifying to the latter. Hut they hope und trust that be fore embarking upon another great war. the statesmen and great minds of Oils country count the costs of BOldler employment be forehand.

As I told the story to my pat ents, it seemed to me thut I could see her as she was the afternoon before, small and lively and gay. The kids were all pretty fond of her, more fond of her than the oth er teachers were. She was about 5, I imagine, almost as short as I am, with reddish hair and bril liant green eyes, and she hud mar velous clothes. I think myself the other teachers were jealous of her. Her funiily had evidently been wealthy once; she had a different background from the rest of them. She had even studied French In a convent in Switzerland. She was friendly with 'students, too, a lit tle too friendly, some of us thought at heart. A young teacher hus to be careful about that: I know- some of the boys had crushes on her.
