City Sanitary erne. New Deal Wins, F. D. Loses 'T'HE text of ths Supreme Court decinion in the Wagner Act oats, has not been handed ably won't be in time, for an today. , But it it known that the Wagner Act has been upheld in the Associated Press, Jonea-Laughlin Steel, and the Interstate bus cases. And this ig enough to establish the decision, as an over whelming and unexpected victory for the New Deal, and, a, we view it s crushing defeat for President Roosevelt in his determination to pack the Supreme Court. Ths administration does not complete enough to demonstrate, that ita program regarding organized labor, can be carried out, in every important particu lar, without changing the personnel of the Supreme Court, and merely by changing the wording of certain phases, in the pres ent measure. The Supreme Court's decisions a week ago, presented a strong argument, against the proposal. This decision CLINCHES it I PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT on (!ourt. s e.mirt that wmlri principles of his program. This 0NLT justification, for his advocacy of a measure, that in spirit violated the Constitution, and denes of the judicial branch of The decisions of a week ago, taken with the decision on the Wagner Act, absolutely establish the fact, that the president now HAS such a court I There may be differences of this amazing transformation, whether the direct result of the president's attack on the Supreme Court, or some other mysteri ous influence. This paper's opinion is President Roosevelt can take ALL the credit, had he never built a fire under the court, this Wagner Aot would in our unconstitutional, as practically every constitutional lawyer, of standing, familiar with the temper of the court, predicted, since its passage. DUT we fail to see how there that this decision, settles Court is concerned. If President Roosevelt now through by strong-arm political me court, ne win oe matting administration, and one which speaking, not only to him, but Right Spot, but Tough One WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE, dsva. hut a far alrrhtarl between Ultra, hits the nail squarely on the head, in a recent elaborate treatise on Roosevelt nation. His view so perfectly coincides, with the view often express ed by this paper, that we reprint It Is sasy to blsms ths president as easy as It la to over praise him. There seem to be but two crowds In thla country, those who refuse the president sny credit, who disbelieve In him snd sll his works, and the other crowd, those who put their brains in escrow and 1st him do their thinking. If there was a middle group who admitted tho presldent'o nobility of purpose, who admired his glsmorous courage, who conceded the wisdom ' of much of his snptratlons snd yet who could say no and smile snd mean It, the country would be better off. But tho negatory eectlon has been saying "no" for four years and scowling. These people csnnot smlls. And the others take It out In grinning snd hops for the best. Bo the country la paralysed. Thua we atand In the presence of something which msy bs the forerunner of dlrs calamity, thla alt-down strlks, or which may bs Just another fad, another nonsense like the dime chain letter madness. And the while ths Amerlcsn people look at the apectscls In dared contusion and wait for ths sarthquaka. This public psychology hsa been brought home poignantly to the present writer, ever since the Supreme Court proposal broke. The Mail Tribune at the very outset opposed this effort, ami hss opposed it consistently ever since. Wc gave our reasons for opposing it. But because we didn't tear the editorial shirt and work our selves into hydrophobiao rage damning the president in every issue from hell to breakfast, we have been persistently accused of being luke warm, yes and no-ing the issue, pulling our punches and what have you. MEANWHILE, from the opposite side has come precisely the CONTRARY indictment: "Why did you support th president during the campaign, and then desert him Immediately otter? can't you TAKE It I" It is all highly amusing of course. But as Mr. White points out it does show sn unfortunate cleavage in the country today, an inability to view either prin ciples or personalities objectively; a blind insistence upon eating raw meat and going to extremes, on one side, or the other, and thus making slight if any progress. IT hss been our opinion snd still is thst it is quite possible to oppose this Supreme Court proposal, without calling the president names, iuestioning his integrity, or denirinif bis imme diate impeachment. More than that we regard it as equally possible to oppose him on this issue, snd support him on practi cally all others. But this isn t ths popular course to pursue. Not by s jugful lh truth slmost alirsys lies in the two extremes, but the truth calls the "middle group", and American people get excited about something, is, in the mass, practically non-existent. And the remnant that does survive has to fight for its life, between the upper and nether millstones. Which, -ss the distinguished Kmporia editor points out, is unfortunate for the individual concerned, and the country. JACKSONVILLE C. OF C. MEETS THIS EVENING! JACKSONV1U.K. AprU II iSpl.)

THET THAT DEVELOP TUBERCULOSIS Nearly every adult has little tuberculosis, s latent or smoulder ing focus In lymph node some where, from In fection in Infan cy, childhood or youth. Only a few of these ever develop actual clinical tubercu loaia. Why doesn't svery one who Is Infected with tu berculosls In esrly life suc cumb to the dls. e a s s Because tho great major ity so Infected have sufficient immunity to protect them from ordinary, amall, not too frequently repeated Infections with tubercle bscllll of not too virulent e, type or strsln. Let's say nothing at all about "re sistance" here. Thst doesn't mean e thing. Immunity means some thing. It hss a definite, specific significance. "Resistance" Is s trick word when doctors use It, a mal- opropolsm when laymen use It In this way. Whenever anybody utters ths word "reslstsnce" In discussing susceptibility to disease I know at once that the discussion will be un profitable. Every written or spoken srgument or exposition of the cause and prevention of respiratory Infec tion In which the word "resistance" la used is Just so much medlcsl hooey. In my Judgment, snd hesven only knows our Internal medical lit erature I atuffed full enough with auch piffle, without mixing It In everything we feed the laity. Equally hackneyed snd Inane I the familiar teaching that "plenty of pure fresh sir, plain wnolesome food and regular sleep" protects sgalnst tuberculosis. Ask ths "ex pert" (usually soms ons other thsn s bona fide physician) thst says this to explain whet he means by pure fresh olr snd good wholesome food and after he has floundered sbout you will know more about It than he does. A large part of the food that peases as choice, refined, pure, whole some and especially "easily digestible" toaay, nutrition authorities tell us, Is actually deficient In or devoid of essentlsl nutritive elements, particu larly minerals and vitamins. Instead of sounding off everlastingly about "good wholesoms food" the compos ers of anti-tuberculosis propaganda might use some of the Ink they have at their dlsuowal to Inform people of NEW YORK, April 12.
