A Knockout Blow TTHE knocking out of the AAA by the Supreme Court was generally expected. After the sweeping NRA decision, it was difficult to see how tho same court could sustain a measure similar to it. Not only does this decision mean that two of the most important elements of the so-called New Deal are un constitutional but probably the New Deal AS A WHOLE. TPHE popular reaction from the AAA decision, however will be very different from that following the annihilation of the NRA. The NRA, except at the very outset, was never popular with those it most vitally affected, i.e., the business men. The AAA on the other hand, has been popular with those it most vitally affected, that is the farmers of larly in the south and middlewost. They believe the AAA has been largely responsible for their improved condition, and the sensational advnnce in the prices A. S a result, whereas there revamped NRA that would stitutional amendment, that would legalize a similar method of business and industrial control, there will undoubtedly be such a demand, as far as the cultural districts, and their nation. Until the complete decision is competent legal experts, it is not, any form of agricultural by the AAA, can be devised which would stand up under the Constitution as it is, and is interpreted by the highest legal tribunal in the land. But as the origii il measure was amended following the NRA decision, in an effort to conform to that edict, this would appear to be highly improbable. ""THEREFORE in all likelihood, this AAA decision will evenu- ally force the Roosevelt administration to do one of two things: either abandon the New Deal entirely, or demand an amendment to the Constitution, which will allow the govern ment to carry out those principles and policies, which it believes to be necessary for the continued growth, prosperity and secur ity of this country, and the better welfare of the people in it. Abandonment would mean admission of failure, and a loss in prestige that would he politically calamitous. Favoring con stitutional amendment, while entirely proper, would inject the issue of altering the country's organic law, in the approaching presidential election, which would, we fear, raise a serious ob stacle to Democratic political success. DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is unquestionably one of "the most skillful political leaders, and most resourceful political tacticians, to occupy the White House in the present generation. It will be interesting to see how he handles the situation which this second Supreme Court decision hss presented to him, just as the presidential election year opens. It will put his abilities to a supreme test. For as we see it, legalities, and matters of national welfare aside, purely on the grounds of PRACTICAL POLITICS, this second unfavorable decision of tfie Supreme Court, is the hard est blow any administration has received from 'such a source, since the Dredd Scott decision, before the civil war. College Fees and Democracy IN another column a communication from a Mr. Harold Barton maintains the collection of fees for extra curricular activities at the state institutions of higher learning, on a universal and equal basis is "un-democratic". We believe our correspondent is mistaken. Are universal taxes un-democratic! Are universal water fees, undemocratic? Taxes, w:iter fees, and similar compulsory charges, may be, and often aro a burrien upon the individual and difficult to meet. But does that make them undemocratic! Does that justify the individual refusing to WISH to pay for police and fire or water, being forced to do so! What is democracy anyway It is the rule of the people. And what does the rule of the people meant It means the rule of the majority. It means the acquiescence of the minority to majority will. We don't believe anyone denies a vast majority of the stu dents at both the University and 0. S. C. want these recreational and cultural activities maintained, and want the expense shared hy all niomlwa of the student boil!-:., so the expense for the individual will be as low as iosible. Isn't it entirely dcmocmt.o matters, just as they rule in all Of course it is. Compulsory desirable or undesirable: mnv lio but they are certainly NOT undemocratic, as long as a majority of those whose interests are involved WANT them. The very cornerstone of Democracy is majority rule. Once deny that principle, and Democracy censes to be.

Beverly .VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES A COMMON CAUSE OF POOR HEALTH Dr. B. R. Hoobler reported (Jour. A.M.A. B 1-307, '3S and 8S-S78, '31) that mild and generhlly unrecog- nlzed beriberi quit common in this country. If It waa com mon gtven sight years ago, It li probably far more com mon now, with millions of peo pie - on relief and little or no thought being given to provtd lng In their food adequate vitamin. The mild Infantile beriberi described by Or. Hoobler manifests Itself In charac teristic signs, such as lose of appo' tlte. loss of weight, spasticity or stiffness of arms and lg. rigidity of neck, restlessness and fretful ness, pallor, low percentage of hem oglobin In blood, and a plaintive whining cry. These symptoms are readily alleviated by supplementing the Infant's diet with vitamin B. Better than prescribing vitamin B or foods naturally rich In vita' mln B for the cure of such symp toms, la the practice of making certain that the expecant mother receives an optimal ration of vita mlns throughout pregnancy, and then if she nurses her baby, m she Is more likely to do successfully when she has had such a vitamin ration, let her have a liberal pro portion of the so-called "protec tive" foods In her diet. Where the mother has failed In nursing and the baby la on the bottle It ! Im portant that adequate vitamin B be provided In the bottle feeding or as a supplement to the feeding. In American Medicine 33-781, '38 Dr. Barnet Sure suggested that gas trointestinal disturbances In nurs ing Infants are due to vitamin B deficiency In the mother'e diet. Dr. C. Ulyiwes Moore and associ ates have presented striking exper imental and clinical evidence in support of the view that a defic iency of vitamin B In the mother s diet during pregnancy Is an Im portant factor of congenital pyloric stenosis In the young Infant and they hold that mothers require three or four times as much vita min B during pregnancy and lac tation as they need ordinarily. In the N. T. State Jour, of Medi cine, Nov. 1, '3S, Dr. Morris j. Drnzln reports typical cases of chronic Illness from moderate mul tiple vitamin deficiencies. Such an explanation for the poor health may be suspected when the following symptoms are prominent: Asthenia (weakness) and fatigue. not relieved by rest. Nervousness nnrt Irritability.

It al fcuttuia, Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS POLITICAL newa: "President Roosevelt's decision to deliver his annual message to con gress AT NIGHT Is defended by democratic leaders and attacked by republicans." 'T'HE president wishes to deliver his message at night, because then the number of radio listeners thru- out the country will be greatest. The democrats defend this wish because they want President Roosevelt re elected, so that they may stay In power, and the republicans attack It because they want to defeat Presi dent Roosevelt. "HIfl writer, who expects to vote - against President Roosevelt, hopes he delivers his message at a time when It is most convenient tor radio listeners to hear him, and advises everyone who has access to a radio to make it a point to hear him. Franklin D. Roosevelt is prealdent of the United States, elected to that office by an overwhelming majority of the voters. Whatever he has to say In defense of his policies should be listened to with thoughtful atten tion and considered on its merits by every voter In the country. The way to make up one's mind on disputed Issues la to, hear BOTH SIDES of these issues. ANOTHER Washington dispatch. 'Senator Robinson, the democratic leader, today predicted passage of a cash bonus bill which will receive executive approval." (That Is to say. which the president will sign.) THAT statement t political because many votes, and the members of con gress who will pass the bill and the president who will sign it (If It Is passed and signed) want all the votes they can get. i S to the bonus, this writer's be- llefs are about as follows: If the government of the United States la going to pursue a conserva tive f'.Taanelal policy, spending no more in tlmea of peace than it can hope to take in. the bonus Is unwise. But If the government of the Unit ed States la going to throw money away with both hands, without re gard to where it Is to come from, it will da well to see that the veterans get their share.

The official waa hesitant. He waa afraid to aay no and reluctant to say yes. The follow-up man, noticing Bia predicament, broke In to aay: "Oh, thafa all right. I'll mark you off the Hat. I have not had a declination today, and there ahould be at leaat one." In the same department, hera waa a New York lawyer who car rlea hla change In one of thoae old-fashioned claap-lock purses, now generally- used only by the ladlea. Before the follow-up man came around, he told hla associates brusquely that , he waa not going to lay out fifty bucks for anyone. One of ilia frlenda oonflded: "Things will be happening to you around here In thirty days, if you don't. They can make It very rough for you." When" the follow-up man arrived the lawyer unclasped hla moth-eaten pouch. There emerged a check for $90. You can readily aee what a nat ional campaign like that would do for the federal deficit. A gentler sandbaa: or a more effective one would be hard to conceive. You may have noticed President Roosevelt made no detailed recom mendations on neutrality In his Friday night message. This was not an oversight, but in keeping witn the Inside strategy of letting ms congressional leaders get as much as they can. Both the White House and state department will lay low, Also, the ringing message was far more pleasing to the conservative groups outside congress than tneJr published comments indicated. To them "It meant a continuation oi the breathing spell- Thv noticed it contained no new recommend' tions. The libersl groups also seem ed to be pleased by the expressions of idealism. That Is one reason why his White House associates have been telling him ever since It was the best mes sage of his career. Only one member of the house seemed to be artificially exhilarated for the opening session, which is probably a new low record. If, anyone wants to make a ser ious study of legislative problems. he should read the book of that name by Congressman Luce. The depression is ever. Far more senators than usual dressed for the opening sessions In frock coats. Some bore a scent of moth balls. but others were obviously newly purchased. No one in the pleblan house of representatives, however. waa formally attired. Best fitting frock coat of the sen atorial lot was not on a senator. It was worn by Colonel Ed Halsey. capable secretary of the senate. Michigan's Senator Coueens looks well after a series of operations. It waa not generally known, but his family despaired of hla recovery at one time last fall. Senator Borah, possessor of the noblest mane in congress, prepared for the new session by getting a hair-cut. Borah never wears formal clothea. The only congressional change noticeable since the last session was the absence of Senators Long and Schall. who died during the re cess. They were the two most vio lent debaters In the chamber and their passing will be noticed for a long time. Congressmen were far more in terested in expected decisions from the supreme court than they were in the budget or their own bus! nesa.
