J The Parachute Opened! WELL, mates, whether the President pulled that rip cord, or someone pulled it for bim. tbe result is the same. Tbe forlorn hope expressed in this column last Monday did not prove to be so forlorn after all. THE date of the funeral has not been set. But the original Supreme Court packing plan is dead, as dead as last year's bank balance. And the U.S. constitution, will soon alight on tbe surface of mother earth, a bit the worse for wear, with a jar that wouldn't awaken WHETHER it was the President's agreement to compromise, or the senates refusal to do so. tbe cool headed inter vention of Cactus Jack Garner Court proposal is OUT, all washed up as far as the present ses sion is concerned. And it is our belief, for all time, or until SUCH times as tbe people of this country so decree, by sanction ing a constitutional amendment. Which is all to the good. The Supreme Court proposal (particularly tbe form and manner in which it was presented) was a mistake from the outset. it can be laid on the self and country, and everyone in it. "DUT watchman, what of the bet Tbe President, thanks to the has saved himself, his party and For wbatf Opinion will be divided on this point. There will be many, particularly among his political oppon ents, who will greet this set-back, disaster, from which neither he, WE have little doubt, that, at the present time, among the Hcattered forces of the Liberty Leaeue. a movement has already started, to reform their broken ranks, replenish their war ehest, and prepare for a return from Elba. The prayed for "break" so that little break in the dyke of nothing more was needed. Now THAT is a natural reaction no iinnthvr nxamnle of wishful rotreat, voluntary or involuntary, from a position that couldn't properly be defended, instead of weakening the President's position in the country, will strengthen it. It will both shorten his lines and straighten them. It will prevent a break within his own ranks, it will lower the fighting spirit of the opposition. FOR except for this Supreme Court stand, and his failure to assert his leadership when labor abuses crept in, the Presi dent, is aud from the first has been rij,'lit, as right as rain. His main purposes, to bring about a better economic and social order, a fairer distribution of wealth, are right purposes, es sential ones, if democracy is to be preserved ; and in this direc tion, in tho opinon of this column at least, he has always had, and still has; an' overwhelming majority of the American peo ple behind him. To bring such reforms about, moreover, there must be a strong centralized government. ' But riot os we see it a COURT-PACKING) government, a PRO-LABOR government, or a ONE-MAN government. Nothing more radical, or revolutiouiiry, than a powerful, liberal and enlightened DEMOCRATIC government. Democracy Wins! THE benefits of this Supreme Court defeat, are so mauy, it is difficult to pick out the most important. . After due deliberation, Ve would place, the victory of American DEMOCRACY first. IT wasn't a Republican victory, far from it. The Republicans neither had the votes, nor supplied the leadership. Seuator Wheeler of Montana was the outstanding leader of the opposition. But he is a Republican only in name. Until this issue came up he had been a consistent and enthusiastic sup porter of the New Deal and the President. He still is. Why did he break with the Presidentl For the same reason, scores of the President's own party, in the cougress broke with him. Because he believed the Presi dent's action, threatened to undermine the foundations of our traditional form of government, aud involve a step toward ex ecutive dictatorship, one-man government and away from government by the PEOPLE. He refused to temporize with a principle like that. So did a sufficient number of the President's own party, who with the Republicans, brought about the measure's defeat. ALL honor to him. But PARTICULARLY ALL HONOR to those "willful" Democrats 1 They not ouly placed prin ciple above party, they literally risked their political lives, and fortunes, especially the latter, for the sake of the country. They did so, in the face of what looked at the outset, like not only certain, but overwhelming defeat. As Jim Farley remarked, when the revolt first started, "let 'cm talk, when the time comes, we will have the votes." On paper they did have them. But wily Jim for once, rcckened without his host, lie didn't know it at the time, but he was up against, something against which bis hard-boiled school of Tammany politics, lias no defense, an aroused pub lic opinion, and a fighting idealistic leadership, willing to stake its politeal life on a principle, and undergo any sacrifice beforo it would accept defeat. Such a movement has tho spark of eternal life in it. It is a vital thing and a growing one. Before it a defense, built up ou a wrong principle, and bound together only by party regu larity and self interest, is a dead thing, and its only a niattter of time, when it must meet defeat. SO this Supreme Court defeat demonstrates, that when our democratic institutions are REALLY iu danger, no matter from what source, or how powerfully equipped; this country bag within itself, the courageous leadership, the self sacrificing spirit, the material and spiritual resources to successfully de feud them. That's the big lesson in this Supreme Court matter. W't trust it will be lesaou, the people of this couutry, will ueer forget I President, bis party,, and the perhaps, but still intact, and a field mouse. or something else the Supreme A breathing spell during which forgotten, will be good for the night t "What will the harvest final opening of the parachute, his program. as a major and probably fatal, nor his party, will ever recover. long delayed, has come.

Lime Among a list of scientific achieve ments mentioned by a popular maga 21 ne writer Is the softening of milk, as water Is spftened, to remove ssme of its excess lime. The writer says: "Lime Is more beneficial to the calf than to the human body." Please comment on this. (J. A. B.) Answer. A silly notion. Lime Is the element which Is most likely to be deficient In the diet of civilized, urban dwellers, and milk and milk products are the very best source ot lime, and there Is no sound reason to Imagine milk or Its products ever contains too much lime for the re quirements of the human infant, child or adult.

Med ford, July 33. Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS IT SEEMS as. certain as anything can be that President Roosevelt's ill -tarred scheme to seize control of the supreme court Is dead. It died on Wednesday when Sena tor Berkley, of Kentucky, was chosen leader of the senate by a majority of only ONE VOTE. SUPPORTERS of the supreme court bill lined up behind Barkley. Op ponents of the bill lined up behind Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi. Only DEMOCRATS VOTED. Add Republicans In the senate to the Democrats who voted against Barkley, and It becomes apparent that the supreme court bill stands no chance of passing. NEARLY two decades ago, a deter mined President, backed by tre mendous personal popularity, de manded entrance into the League of Nations. A little group of senators stood out against his demand, and prevented the United States from Joining tha league. They were blterly condemned, by an angry President and by bis fol lowers, but time bas proved beyond all doubt that they were RIGHT. There la hardly an American citi zen today who doesn't thank his lucky stars that we stayed out ot the league. If we hand't, we'd be up to our necks In Europe's present dangerous mess. THE senators who kept us out of the League of Nations did their country a tremendous service. The senators who have prevented the President's scheme to seize con trol or the supreme court from be coming a law (If It falls to become a law) have done their country en even GREATER service, for the League of Nations threatened only to "draw us Into foreign entanglements whereas President Roosevelt's su preme court bill threatens to UN DERMINE THE CONSTITUTION. The constitution, of which tne su preme court Is the Interpreter, Is the only protection ror minorities against triumphant and intolersnt majori ties. The time might easily come when undermining the constitution would destroy our liberties. IF THE supreme court bill falls to pass (as now seems probable) a monument should be erected to the senators who PREVENTED Its pass age especially the Demomtlo sena tors who took their political lives into their hands when they opposed It.

The navy was Interested in re ports thst the Japanese "fishermen" were dslng soma surveying in Ameri can waters. The state department asked Tokyo about the salmon ss long ss three years ago, and Tokyo said there could not be any salmon fishing because no salmon fishing licenses had been Issued. The Alaskans persisted, said there ought to be a law. Two were drawn up which would keep Japanese sal mon fishers out of most of tbe Ber ing sea. But the court flgbt has held up action on them; and, be sides, the state department wanted to await Mr. Sturgeon's report. Meanwhile, the department Is get ting some interesting information from other sources. Since Americans have consistently been refused permission to board Japanese boats in Alaskan , waters, five "men of integrity" decided to take to the ah What they saw in a half hour's survey of the Japanese boats, and the plcturea they are sending to Washington, may be the basis for a Job for the diplomats as well as legislators. It was estimated by the fliers that j some 30.000 salmon were piled on tne ate its ox tour Japanese snips. Then came an even more disturb ing message. An official not conected with the bureau of fisheries expedition reports passing 36 "fishing boats." tbe float ing cannery type as well as large trawlers 100 feet long such as are used in the North Sea and the type which was used as mine-layers dur ing tbe world war.
