Flushed with conceit over its first access in dealing with the banks j md the currency, the Admlnistra- i don was seized by a brain storm conceived that it was created and destined to cure ALL ills—finan cial industrial and social. The Brain Trust Insead of calling to its assistance ■ conservative, successful and ex penenced business men. as was its LCy, in dealing with the financial situation, it organized a "Brain! Trust" composed principally of In- ; experienced professors and imprac- j tical dreamers: and it set out to j regiment and control all private BUSINESSES and ALL PRIVATE relatonships. A frightful drift toward socialism, destructive to individual initiative md,liberty, was set ln motion and doubtless the tide would have in undated our whole American na tion had It not been at least tem porarily checked by the Supreme Court. The sacred compacts embodied in the Contitution adopted by our Fathers have recently been too often violated by the present Ad ministration and therefore, the Administration, as now constituted, should not be endorsed. It should be COMPELLED to take a “long vacation." ■ Lack of pace forbids full details ind much elaboration. Usurped Our Rights 1 *111 briefly enumerate only a few of the many encroachments of the present Administration on state and individual rights. I have previously made mention of the fact that the Federal Ad ministration. instead of loaning to the financially weak states moneys with which to relieve the destitu tion of their people, it chose to dis regard -state boundaries and in trade itself into every state of the Union and direct from Washing ton, through a large and costly army of Federal employees. In the n«me of relief, it has played "Santa Claus' in a most wasteful manner, In every community in the United State*. Free Money It has all along been well under wood that our present chief execu tive would stand for re-election this fall, yet, not long ago. Congress set aside between four and five billions of dollars, and authorized tte President to distribute it when ever and wherever and in such Quantities as he plesises. The President has been and Is fully exercising that privilege. Suppose a prominent man is a h>rtV to a law suit involving a lsr8e sum of money. Then suppose the court where the case is soon to > tried, would authorize aid prom ®tnt litigant to go out among the unemployed and select and hire the !’Jry which is to sit on his case *hen it is tried. The act of the court and of said Prominent litigant would be prop condemned as a shocking and detestable impropriety, k !t mi'ch less reprehensible, on other suitable means of dis cing relief.money can be ar n?Fd. for Congress to give and tor the president to accept and ex rn-e the privilege of distributing ormous i. ms of Government ®r?y !o and among those who rf soon to sit rn his case in a Pfat plitierl contest?

The Supreme Court so decided. ! But soon thereafter two other1 bills were passed containing the same unconstitutional provisions. 1 The chief executive who had sworn ■ to obey and protect the constitu- j tlon. specifically advised that, in 1 considering the proposed legisla- j tion conscientious scruples con- I cerning its constitutionality should j be ignored. Such deilance of the 1 constitution and contempt of the court should be rebuked. In days past, we have heard much ! of the dignity and nobility of la- I bor. In those days Solomon's repu- i tation for wisdom was greatly en hanced because he said “Go to the ant thou sluggard, consider her ways and. be wise.’’ During these 1 days, a wise Proverb was often re- I peated — namely, that "Idleness is the Devil's workshop." Unfortunately, a different doc trine is now being taught. Our own experience and observa- j tion prohibits us from subscribing to a program which, by our presi dent, was recently recommended in a speech to the youth of this coun try and which, in substance, ran about as follows: Degrading Character “Young man. avoid labor until you are at least 18 years of age; [ then work daily as few hours as | possible. In the meantime, demand ' high wrages. At 60 years of age, j drop the abominable habit of work I and be a happy old drone the rest ! of your life.” The most vital question before us . now is not one of dollars and cents. It is an issue of principle. It involves men and character more than money and wealth. The most monstrous evil which j threatens us is not financial mal- \ adjustments. It is the degradation of Americanism and national char acter, such as is being suffered on account of recent governmental practices and preachments. We believe that the real and the mo6t serious questions now staring us in the face are such as these: “Shall our state preserve their rights to manage their own internal affairs, without interference or dic tation from other states, or their representatives, or shall those rights be surrendered to the Fed eral Government? Shall our citizens surrender their heretofore inalienable rights to control their own private legitimate businesses? Shall the youth and rank and file of this country be saturated with the idea that work is merely a necessary evil, a thing to be avoided as much as possible; and that idleness is the chief end of man? Shall the inborn American spirit of independence in coming gener ations be smothered by the new, vicious and humiliating thought that there can no longer be any such thing as self-made men; and that individual success and pros perity can no longer be enjoyed except in conformity with decrees, rules and regulations emlnating from Washington? If we are kindly permitted space in which to do so, we will within a few days tell of a depression in this country worse than that through which we have just passed, and from which we recovered without Federal assistance. _ Just Ten Years Ago (Taken From the Cleveland Star Of Monday, October 25, 1926.)
