Traitor of the Century
We don't know whether Mrs. Roosevelt invited Al
Smith to the White House or not. However, we do
know that we would rather she would hang the pic
ture of Benedict Arnold there than to have Al Smith
there.
Benedict Arnold was the traitor of his century. Al
Smith is showing himself to be the super-traitor of this
century. The men who were associated with Arnold
in his treachery were far more honorable men and
could be trusted much further than can the gang
Smith hangs out with.
Let the Profiteers Pay the Bonus
We say pay the soldiers' bonus in cash at once, and
force Morgan, Mellon, dul'ont and the other war prof
iteers to pay it, even if it takes the last button off
their "britches" and the last s|X>on out of their mouths.
They were the fellows who fostered and helped to
bring on the war that caused more than 60,000 of our
young men to be shot to death or die of disease in .
army camps, while these profiteers were perpetrating
unholy robbery on the jieople at large.
Not only are they responsible for the war debts, but
they are likewise res|xinsible for the need of feeding
th great starving population which was driven to hun
ger while they gathered gorgeous wealth into their
coffers and have succeeded in getting a supreme court
to hold that it was not just common stealing.
l'ay the bonus?and make the profiteers stand the
cost.
Selfish and Without Mercy
What do you think of the Italian and Japanese idea?
The population of each country is increasing front
three-quarters to a million annually, and they figure
that they not only have the right to increase their own
population, but they go iurthei and say they have the
right to diminish the population of China and Abys
sinia by killing these people and stealing their homes.
It would seem that the Italians and the Japanese
. iire not only very selfish but mean and without mercy.
Let them stop (wnsioning big families in their own
countries, and they will not need to kill others and
grab their homes and lands.
Cromwell and Roosevelt
English royalty hated Oliver Cromwell worse than
they did satan, because he took some of their royal
power and prerogatives away and gave it to the poor
peasants " But it inade a much better and happier
England.
The domineering American financiers hate Roose
velt worse than they do the devil, because he has
kicked their heels off of the laboring poor. But the
country is better by such a course, and business is
better, and happiness is extended to all.
Don't Wake Up Too Late
The man signing himself "A Greensboro Taxpayer,"
writing in one of the State newspapers, in our opinion,
comes nearer scoring himself a full 100 per cent jackass
than any other we have ever heard of for a long time.
He makes an effort to belittle fresident Roosevelt in
many ways, but in the final analysis the writer comes
out of bis siege as "the stinking skunk rather than the
animal old dog Ross treed."
If the people stop to listen to these "Liberty" Lea
guers, who are barking for the Raskobs, dufonts, and
others of their ilk, and others who come out with
defamatory slanders without any semblance of truth,
they will one day wake up to find themselves domi
nated by the worst gang of robbers and thieves that
ever destroyed a people.
Teach Good Citizenship
One of man's greatest mistakes is made when h<
tries to have his own way, and no person is just and
true, nor a good citizen, when he tries to have his own
way about everything all the time.
* The child that demands the right to dictate his own
course gives the family trouble almost every time.
The man in the town or country who wants everybody
else to get out of the road until he passes is unfair
The man who demands to be waited on first at the
post office or barber shop is always willing to be the
last to be called on fur a contribution to the church
or to charity. It is a very fine trait in man to be will
ing to take his place in the line of humanity and bear
his load cheerfully, without murmuring or complain
ing. The fellows who wants more privileges and great
er favors than his neighbor is a bad citizen.
We seriously need to give more time to teaching
belter citizenship to our children and young people.
It is perhaps too late to start with the older people.
The schools have a wonderful opportunity along this
line.
Up To the Legislature
Now that the Supreme Court has thrown the bur
den of regulating things to the several States, let our
legislature get busy and tax all foreign stocks just as
they do other property. There is already too much
of the big man's prot*rty escaping fair and just tax
ation.
Court and Politics
Hv Raymond Clappeb
in The New York World-Telegram
The Supreme Court gave plain warning in its high
handed scrapping of AAA that other New Ileal meas
ures are to l>e mowed down as soon as it can get around
to the grim busines. That is, as soon as it can find
the technical legal pretexts to support its political
opinions.
This leaves President Roosevelt free to do one of
two things. He can resign himself to the court's ver
dict as the final word of divine inspiration. He can
accept the court as the governing oligarchy of the
country. He can yield to its political philosophy
which would confine the Federal Government largely
to running the army, the navy and the municipal af
fairs in the District of Columbia. Or he can accept
the challenge as a political one, which it is, and go to
the country to determine whether the people want to
be governed by their elected President and their elect
ed Congress or by a lame-duck judicial dictatorship.
There is no use being dainty any longer in discuss
ing the court. It is in politics up to its neck. It can
no longer claim the immunity from political discussion
which a purely judicial body properly enjoys. Since
it is vetoing acts of Congress right and left, it is no
more immune from discussion than the President is
immune when he vetoes an act of Congress.,
* * *
That this country, which presumably believes in the
democratic form of government, will permit itself to
lie governed by a judicial oligarchy is incredible. We
have protested against Mr. Roosevelt's tendencies to
ward dictatorship. More dangerous is judicial dicta
torship, because the Supreme Court doesn't have to
come up for re-election.
Look at the six men who have just undone the AAA,
which has operated for two and a half years and made
itself an integral part in the recovery of the country.
The youngest is-Jostice Roberts, a Philadelphia cor
poration lawyer, appointed by President Hoover. Com
paratively young, a man who has been out in the world
of big affairs until very recently, yop would think he
would still be too practical minded to have made this
retreat back almost to the days of the Confederation.
The senior is Justice Van Devanter, 76 years old,
who was placed on the throne by President Taft in
1 y 10 after a small career as a lawyer in Wyoming,
where he also doubled in Republican state politics.
The Chief Justice is one of the ablest men in the
country and has breadth of statesmanship. Yet he
was rejected by the country when he ran as a Repub
lican candidate for President in 1916.
Justice McReynolds was a small-time Tennessee
lawyer whose friends got him into the Wilson cabinet
and then on the Supreme trench, a man whose decisions
have shown the most narrow legalistic conception of
American problems.
Justice Hutler was a Minnesota corporation lawyer,
known as an extreme reactionary before President
Harding put him on the bench.
Justice Sutherland was a Utah lawyet who became
a Republican Senator for one term, when he was re
tired by the voters and later rescued and put on the
bench by President Harding.
* * *
Those are the mighty men who have scrapped AAA.
They are the men who have made themselves the su
preme custodians of the nation and who have assumed
the right to dictate what the nation shall do to save
itself from distress. They are the men who have said
that the government, after failing in every other at
tempt to restore the equilibrium of farm prices, shall
not continue with the one method which in a trial of
two and a half years has greatly alleviated the situa
tion.
These six men tell us we can't do it. They get away
with it because John Marshall, while engaged In a
desperate political battle with Jefferson, did. Nothing
in the Constitution says they can.
* * *
President Roosevelt has his issue now if he wishes
to accept it. Is this a government of, by and for the
people or the Supreme Court?
