WHO’S DICTATING NOW ?
Probably the most misplaced charge in the present
controversy arising over the President’s recommenda
tion to step up our judiciary system is that of dictator
being hurled against the Chief Executive. Actually,
every one knows that the President can do virtually
nothing without the support of Congress. But it must
be noted that after Mr. Roosevelt and the Congress have
approved, the majority of five men on the Supreme
Court, bench of nine can toss the whole proposal into
the waste basket and say to the American people, “you
can’t do that. We do not think it is wise.”
Who then, in fact, dictates to the nation what it
shall do ?
It makes no difference how honest, how sincere nor
how learned are the men who make up our highest tri
bunal, but why should any five individuals be in posi
tion to defeat the purposes of Congress and the president
who are the chosen representatives of the people and
responsible to the people for their acts? Four of the
equally capable men on the Supreme bench can dissent
from the majority opinion, but what does it avail?
Simply about three lines in a news dispatch that Jus
tices so and so turned in the minority opinion. The ma
jority verdict must prevail.
And there are intelligent men and women hurling
the Charge dictator at the President, who can’t even ap
point a postmaster without the approval of the Senate.
President Roosevelt on two occasions has been elect
ed by those same voters. The President and most of
the Congressional delegations have been re-elected, re
vealing clearly that the policies they attempted to carry
out met with the favor of a vast majority of the people.
Yet anything they attempt to do can be set aside by
‘ a five-four vote of the Supreme Court.
Small wonder that in one part of his address the
other evening, the President said:
“The wage earner, the farmer, the small business
man will not wait for economic freedom like they did
for emancipation 40 years ago; they will not wait four
years; they will not wait at all.”
In other words, it is high time that more than five
men agreed on how to interpret the Constitution.

We counted eleven editorials in recent newspapers
assailing the President’s Supreme Court proposal chief
ly on the ground that men over 70, or even men over 75,
are perfectly capable of working and that often, be
cause of their experience, they may be more valuable
than younger men.
The Washington Star, in particular, cries:
“The world would have suffered an irreparable loss
hud some of its great men been forced to cease work at
seventy.”
The Star cites figures of Dr.W.A.N. Dorland, physi
cian and analyst, to show that “seventy-eight percent
of the thinkers studied in a survey, closed their life
work between the ages of 50 and 80.” And the figures
are followed up with a long list of prominent men and
women Whose careers flourished after their 70th year.
We are glad to see all this data coming out. In fact,

as a result of it, Mr. Roosevelt seems to have hoisted
the Tories by their own petard.
Conservative industrials for years have been firing
men at the age of 40—on the ground that men older
than 40 are less efficient, less amenable to new ideas,
less flexible in keeping up with new trends in business.
Millions of the workers who have been denied jobs
, on no grounds other than their age will find this sudden
defense of senility tremendously interesting if not act
ually profitable.
We would suggest that every worker over 40 clip
some of these eloquent defenses of old age from the
Troy press, and hand them to the next “economic royal
ist” who tells him that he s “too old at 40.”

“No. What happened to her?”

Smoking a cigarette, the small boy advanced upon
the ticket office and demanded a half-fare ticket to
Binghampton.
“What!” cried the booking clerk, “a kid like you
j smoking a cigarette?”
“Kid, be blowed!” was the indignant reply. I’m 14.”
“Full fare, please.”

Then there’s the ancient legend of the two pipe
smokers in the opium-den.
One dreamy gent said casually: “I’ve just decided
to buy all the diamond and emerald mines in the world.”
The party of the second part considered this serious
ly for a few moments, and then murmured softly: “I
don’t know that I care to sell.’’
Mother—“Come here, Johnnie; I have some good1
news for you.”
Johnnie (without enthusiasm)—“Yes, I know; father
is home again.”
Mother—“Yes, but how did you know?”
Johnnie—“My bank wouldn’t rattle any more.”

The Business
MR. MERCHANT:
Do you know that enough business is going
out of town every month to support at least one
more store here, even larger than any doing busi
ness here today.
Every mail brings in direct mail advertising
that is taking YOUR Business away from YOUR
Nome—You can hold most of that business here
by telling the public what you have to offer.
And the best way to tell them is through the
adverising columns of THE NUGGET.
Call our Advertising Manager and he will be
of assistance to you m preparing your advertising
copy if you so desire.
