WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. (AD
When tho historian of these
times looks for a record of the
deep national Impulses which have
governco. 'the development of tho
American nation, ho will find it
ready to his hahd in tho year-to-year
docket of tho supreme court.
IJtlgatlon before tho court la a
barometer of all of thoso contro
versial questions which attain the
stature of real national hvmca. The
court's mechanism la not fluttered
by passing political commotions
but like tho seismograph, which
measures earthquakes, It sets down
infallibly tho story Of every really
great upheaval in national thought.
. Index of New Issues.
Everything worth fighting over
seriously eventually is fought out
before tho highest court.
There was a time when tho trend
was shown by tho predominance
of antl-truHt cases and labor and
railroad litigation on tho crowd
ed docket of tho court. But these
and other active .national prob
lems of a few years ago have been
crowded aside, by. iho vigorous
growth of now issues.
Prohibition Takes Ixwl.
Today prohibition enforcement
taken the lead, not only in the
number of cases! pending, but In
the variety of questions presented
for decision. Then come a group
of cases Incident to present-day
Intensive Industrial development
mostly tho outcome of proceedings
Instituted by tho fcdaral trade com
mission. Next may bo listed questions
arising out of the inquisitorial turn
of mind In congress. They include
(he naval oil cases, and others In
volving the right of tho legislative
branch to delve Into new fields of
inquiry. ,
Alien Property Question.
The question of what to do with
alien property .seized during the
world war, around which a. new
chapter of International law is be
ing written, has thrown into the
court another interesting group of
cases. Including tho German ship
litigation and the battle over tho
German chemical and dye patents,
Many cases In these groups nre
likely to be decided soon -after
the court re-nsseniibles In October,
while others still are in tho earlier
stages of litigation.
Since then he played with tho Ma
rines dnring-warthiio and semi-pro
fcssloiml ball throughout the
northwest.
Franklin Man Here
H. I. Stoutomycr, Franklin rep
resentative from) Walla Walla,
Washington, was in tho city this
week. Two new Franklins have

Seven people were killed ajid a score more hurt when this bridge gave way ut Whitesvlllc,
W...Va. It was crowded with people watching a wuU-r carnival when the cable at ono side guvo

occupants Into the river below, , ' ; . v . ! ,
anything that strikes tho fancy,
The scene Is entirely , at varlanco
with the activity of the street
which makes a million dollars only
smsll change..
Money Is a commodity here, and
all realize tho futility of excessive
display, except for tho standard
"prosperous looking" clothes
which are effected both by bank
presidents and twenty dollar a
week clerks.
Democrats Meeting Places
Tho president and clerk eat side
by side In tho same lunch rooms,
particularly those whero you wait
on yourself and theu figure your
own bill. '
This action of the banker, how
over, may bo construed as care
fullness, as even small sums now
aro guarded closely. . This practlco
was evolved only recently after a
series of holdups.
Careful Precaution
- - Tho same boyish looking mess
engers still carry the Uttlo black
bags, but, tho bags are fastened to
wrists by handcuffs, and. chains,
making It virtually Impostblo for
them to be snatched away; - Tho'
kidnaping of the messenger Is pre
cluded by, tho presence of two or
three armed guards walking be
hind him with weapons-In hand In
coat pockets, -while tho- guards try
to look as little llko detectives -as
possible
Tills quiet protection marks tho
street, for about the only visible
policemen ure traffic officers For
the rest, there is an abundanco of
plain clothes men and' private
guards In every establishment.
