or the senates refusal to do so. tbe cool headed inter

Which is all to the good. The Supreme Court proposal

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

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

QtESTIOSS AND ANSWERS
Apples and Drink
Are cooked spples eaten In large
amounts harmful? Xs the beversgo
harmful? How many cal
ories In a six-ounce bottle? Mrs. C.
F.)
Answer. Cooked spples are excel
lent food, snd not harmful. The
beverage has the aame effect as would
a similar quantity of tea or weak
coffee. Six fluid ounces would yield
aproxlmately 44 calories.
Ammunition

nation of "colds," so-called, I find It

that . abound hereabouts. - I would
appreciate anything you may send
me to help me to maintain by con
tentions when I become embroiled
with these assorted wits on the half
shell. (J. C. K.)
Answer. Invest a dime and a
stamped envelope bearing your ad
dress, for a copy of booklet "Call It
Crl," which will provide you with
good ammunition.
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.

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.
