WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 14, 1916
This is the first of the annual "Seven Joyous Days"
Jwyous for everybody even the guarantors!
A contemporary propounds this question in an editor
ial caption: "Why is the Progressive party?" Accord
ing to our notion, Theodore Roosevelt is the "why," or
at Jeast was.
Col. Clawson of the Wilmington ' fetar expresses his
dislike for waffles because "they have a way of not go
ing around." It might be added, too. that where thert
are many at the board it is a long time "between helpings."
The Richmond News Leader has discovered that Tyrus
Cobb and Jess Willard do not appear in the latest edition
of "Who's Who In America," which contains 21,922 prom
inent persons. We'd venture, however, that Tyrus is
known to more young Americans than all the 21,922 cel
ebrities listed, put together.
It is reported from the war zone that the populace
of Austria is urging a separate peace with Russia. From
the way the "Duet" has been running rough-shod over the
Austrian division of the Teuton Allies in the past few
weeks it begins to look as though the Czar might be in
position to dictate terms to his own liking when peace
is negotiated.
The "Sun's" are storming St. Louis this week as they
did Chicago last week. They failed to induce the Stand-

and now they are urging the assembled Democrats to de
clare for women's rights, and thus add the big woman's
vote In Novombcr. The trouble about it is the "knife"
would probably cut Iboth ways, and it is a question if
the other edge would not prove the sharper and more
votes lost than gained. The suffrage question Is one for
the individual States to decide and the Democrats will
hardly make the mistake to alter their position, several
times roconled by a Democratic Congress, and yield to
the appeals of the delegates now wwkring in St. Louis.
"CANDIDATES" FROM THOUPREJIETOURT.
In making the tenure of office of the justices of tho
Supreme Court for life, the framers of the Constitution
unquestionably intended that that high tribunal should
be composed of men entirely removed from partisan poli
tics. Although Supreme iCourt judges are not specifical
ly barred from becoming candidates for political offices,
their life tenure of office carries that idea and should au
tomatically keep them from changing or endeavoring to
change to the executive or legislative branches. In fact,
the principle might be applied to all public places and
men holding one office be debarred from seeking another
place at least until their terms expire.
The principle so far as the Supreme Court is con
cerned, has been recognized by the peope as a govern
ing factor and because of the realization that the jus
tices were entirely removed from partisan affairs has no
doubt created public confidence in the court. It may be
contended by some that the people have the right to call
a man for higher service if they feel that he is needed.
In exercising that right, however, the people put great
temptation in the way of the man .sought to become a
seeker and when he does his service on the bench must
necessarily be depreciated.
The Hughes example is a dangerous one for the main
tenance of the high standard of the Supreme Court. The
resolution of Senator Thomas of Colorado, already intro
duced, to debar members of the Supreme Court from
running for public office is worthy of some consideration.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
"UP TO" THE VOTERS NOW.
Some of our friends of the 'f i)ofs are still dubious as
to the merits of the primary system as compared with
the old convention plan. We are inclined to believe,
boweven, that the fellow who-did not exercise his rights
and did not get absolutely a square ileal on Juno 3d, was
himself at fault, and we don't believe the same can be
41.
cerned, has been recognized by the peoplo as a govern
tem. The primary plan absolutely eliminates the 'Vver
night change of heart" so characteristic of delegates,
instructed and uninstructed, under the convention plan.
The individual voter may change his mind the night be
fore election, but it is a dead sure thing the whole elec
torate of a district is not subject to such changes as
were possible, and which quite frequently defeated the
wishes of the people, when they were dependent upon
the vote of one man in a convention, honest though that
representative might have iheen.
HUGHES AND THE PRESIDENCY.
Charlotte Observer: "Why should Mr. Hughes give up
i soft snap for a doubtful possibility?" That is the
question which many people are asking. The fact is,
is those of you who have served on the Supreme Court
of the United States will readily recall, that it is no
sasy berth, after all. When one reads that the court
has adjourned for the summer vacation and will not re
convene again until the fall, the average reader, if dis
posed toward the uso of slang (which we trust you are
not( throws down the paper with a sigh of discontent
and exclaims, 'Pretty soft for the Supreme Court! Why,
:hat's as fine as being a school teacher or a college pro
"essor. Nothing to do till October!" Words, however,
ire not always what they seem, and when a Supreme
Court judge is on his vacation it doesn't mean that he is
not cudgeling his brains by the hour, trying to discover
he correct principle to be applied in a case that will af
ect the history of the Republic. All the way up from
he magistrate's court to the highest pinnacle, the judi
cal officers who must wrestle with knotty questions do
io with one comforting thought: if a mistake is made,
here is a man higher up who will correct it. That is
technically known as "passing the buck." Not so, with
tho Supreme Court justices. Theirs is the last word.
Their decisions affect the destiny of millions. Not only
must they establish the principles of the law and apply
them, but they must interpret the Constitution of the
United States and declare acts of Congress null and void
when they conflict. Many students contend that they
really possess no such power under the Constitution, but
they exercise it, and exercise is ten points of the law. It
may bo true that 'the Supreme Court follows the election
returns,' but they have other duties equally onerous.
"Mr. Hughes is a man of independent wealth, and after
beinjr defeated for President he can earn more as a law
yer than as a justice. He has already tasted of the honor
of the justiceship, and has won whatever of prestige is
thereby to bo gained. He now has a pretext for laying
down a burdensome office, and assuming new laurels,
which have all tho charm of novelty. Nor have we any
right to conclude that he is not actuated by the belief
that it is his duty to his party scarcely to his country
to assume the trying task ot leading it out of the wild
crncss and back into the promised land of governmental
supremacy."

MOTORS of the Super-Six size have heretofore
delivered about 42 horsepower
The Super-Six delivers 76 horsepower.
That means an increase of 80ro, all due to wiping
out vibration which caused friction.
The result is vast reserve power, in a light,
economical motor.
On hills and hard roads, or in quick response, the
Super-Six performance will amaze you. No stock
car ever built has matched the Super-Six.
With such reserve power, the Super-Six motor is
rarely run at more than half load. This means
great economy. Thejack of friction eliminates wear,
thus doubling the motor's endurance.
The utter smoothness gives such bird-like motion
that the car seems to move by magic
