Peril In Judicial Oligarchy: Contented People Either Ignorant or Hopeless

By Chief Justice WALTER CLARK

I T has been said that a contented people have no annals. THE PRESENT UNREST AMONG THE PEOPLE, STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM, IS ONE OF THE BEST SIGNS OE THE TIMES. When people are content they either are ignorant of better conditions or hopeless of attaining them. In this country, as in all countries, the control of the government is in the hands of the few. We have learned that the form of government amounts to little. The real question is, ".Where does the control of government reside?” , IN 1776 WE ISSUED A DECLARATION PROCLAIMING THE RIGHTS OF MANKIND AND THEIR EQUALITY AND FREEDOM. AND I'HEN THE CHAMPIONS OF GOVERNMENT BY THE FEW QUIETLY BUT EFFECTIVELY TOOK CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT. . The overwhelming preponderance of the judiciary has been unexpectedM< rented by decisions of the supreme court of the United States without a Imo in the constitution to authorize it when that body as-, sumed the right to veto any act of congress it chose to hold unconst itional. , THIS DOCTRINE HAS BEEN SEIZED UPON AS A BOON BY THE SPECIAL INTERESTS AND BY ALL WHO BELIEVED AT HEART IN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE MANY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE FEW. IT HAS PRACTICALLY MADE THE COURTS THE DOMINANT! POWER INi EVERY STATE IN THE UNION. WHENEVER ANY PROGRESSIVE STATUTE HAS NOT- BEEN IN ACCORD WITH THE' ECONOMIC VIEWS BY THE COURTS THEY HAVE GENERALLY EXERCISED THEIR POWER TO DECLARE SUCH STATUTE UNCONSTITUTIONAL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT “DUE PROCESS OF LAW.’’

Each State Should Put Aside $1,000,000 Loan Fund to Aid New Fanners

By D. B. CORNELL,

WF hear that New 'I ork state is going to spend twenty-five thousand dollars LN LECTURES TO Z \ID TH H FARMERS. The be>t step it could take would be to keen the money in a bank and LOAN IT ON MORTGAGES TO HONEST YOUNG ME\ WHO WISH TO FARM. If each state would loan to prudent young men ami families money to assist them in getting by the first year in starting a farm it would soon reduce the high cost of living. THE "BACK TO THE FARM” MOVEMENT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE TO FACE TODAY. MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE STAND READY TO BUY, BUT ARE SHORT OF FUNDS. THEY, HAVE NOT ENOUGH TO BUY WITH SAFETY AND TO INVEST UNTIL THE INCOME WOULD PAY THE EXPENSES OF LIVING AND RUNNING THE FARM. EACH STATE SHOULD LAY ASIDE AT LEAST $1,000,000 TO ASSIST NEW FARMERS. THE MONEY SHOULD DE USED ONLY FOR LOAN PURPOSES, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE BUYER MOST. , Tli< r<- 10 thousands who wish to GET RID OF CONGESTED Cl I'i i.I iE, but they have or.y two hundred to five hundred dpllars in savings to purchase a farm and equip it. Dur experience wit h the larnicr has been that hardly any one will take three hundred to live hundred dollars down. Li.l soiriellifTtg must be done in that direction in order to get thoMi termsor a loan from the slate to assist in stalling a farm. . ■

A fter “Looping the Loop” Air Man Defies Death; Genius of Aviation Solved

demonstrated the possibilities of aviation more than three thousand times. I wa 4 - unable, however, to SOLVE THE GENII' S 01* A\ lATJON until I had “looped the loop,” which feat 1 accomplished with my aeroplane for the first time Nov. 24, 1913, over San Diego bay. California, flying from the grounds of the government aviation school on North island, where is stationed the First Aero corps, attached to the signal service. THE. SILENT REAPER OF SOULS AND 1 SHOOK HANDS THAT DAY. THOUSANDS OF TIMES WE HAVE ENGAGED IN A RACE AMONG THE CLOUDS—PLUNGING HEADLONG IN BREATHLESS FLIGHTDIVING AND CIRCLING WITH AWFUL SPEED THROUGH ETHEREAL SPACE. AND, MANY A TIME, WHEN THE DAZZLING SUNLIGHT HAS BLINDED MY EYES AND SUDDEN DARKNESS HAS NUMBED ALL MY SENSES. I HAVE IMAGINED HIM CLOSE AT MY HEELS. ON SUCH OCCASIONS I HAVE DEFIED HIM, BUT, IN SO DOING. HAVE EXPERIENCED FRIGHT WHICH I CANNOT EXPLAIN. TODAY THE OLD FELLOW ANb I ARE PALS. The instant we had completed the “loop” together J decided 1 would fear him no more. It whs then that man’s courage, coupled with an invention of science, had finally solved the deep mystery which through ages has surrounded the flights of the birds. »

American Wife Mental Companion of Husband; Queen of Home Salon

By Dr. ELMER E. BROWN,

THE AMERICAN WIFE ANp MOTHER IS A WQNDERFUL HOMEMAKER. ONCE SHE MAY HAVE THOUGHT HER dUTY DONE WHEN SHE PROVIDED FOR THE MATERIAL NEEDS OF HER HOUSEHOLD. WHEN SHE COOKED THE MEALS IN AN APPETIZING FASHION AND KEPT ALL THE BUTTONS SEWED ON. TODAY SHE DOES NOT NEGLECT THESE DUTIES, BUT SHE HAS FOUND OTHERS FOR HERSELF. SHE IS NO LONGER THE MERE SERVANT, THE HOUSEHOLD DRUDGE. SHE IS THE MENTAL COMPANION OF HER HUSBAND AND CHILDREN, THE QUEEN OF THE HOME SALON. SHE DISCUSSES BUSINESS AND POLITICS and the great world movements with her husband instead of letting him do al? her thinking for her: She keeps herself young, outwardly and inwardly, as she was never able to do in former days, and so she becomes the 11ELPFUI COMRADE AND CONFIDANTE OF HER CHILDREN. Jler influence ••■ er them, if she will use it, is greater than when she seemed io aged, much out of touch with her times.
