Alterations in the federal courts
have not been laid aside by Con

from committee a bill proposing

those changes being of so techni-i
oal a nature that they hold little
of interest for anyone outside the
legal profession. The bill was pre
pared in short order, less than a
week being required to put it in
shape. That, however, does not
mean that it was hastily consid-1
ered. During the past months, con ;
gress has given enough study to;
the subject so that anything re
lating to courts can be handled
almost as a matter of routine. In
|
the measure now up for action,,
the Supreme Court is left some-i
what strictly alone, and if the;
new plans for court reform give
rise to problems, they will notj
be the ones which threatened to!
split parties and caused the gen-j
eral public to take the rostrum j
during the days of a warm sum- j
mer that now has passed middle1
life.
Speaking of hot days, probably
•t hey had something to do with j
the circumstances that Congress,
■like a lost child, is calling ‘'l wantj
to go home.” Now and then, it;
may be remarked, the great leg-!
islative body seemed to be troub
•led with a little of the lost
child's confusion, which may have
■had some part in bringing the
homing instinct to tAe front.

is done. The desire to lay off is
widespread in Congress, but it
seems to be accepted that even
tide and the finishing of tasks
will have to come before a hand
can be laid on the cord of the
quitting whistle.
Naturally enough, the folks in
Arkansas want their full repre
sentation in Congress, and are
casting about for someone to fill
; he seat made vacant by the death
of Senator Robinson. They have
a few local political jobs also that
will have to be assumed by some
one. One of the aspirants for
place in the state government com
L's from Yell county. That fact
ought to help some during the
campaign, if the prospective offi
ce holder is true to the name of
his native soil.
It is proposed to enact a feder
al statute limiting the number
of cars in a freight train. The rail
road compaies do not like it, and
state that it will lead to an in
crease in freight rates. Incident
ally, it will deprive the railroads
of good advertising material II
there are three things which,
above all other, never fail to at
tract attention, they are a falling
tree, a hole in the ground and a
long freight train.
Japan and China have passed
beyond the point where notes are
exchanged and have reached the
stage where reports of “drives"
and “smashing defeats” are com
ing over the wires. Spain still
furnishes its share of red hot
battle news. The League of Na
tions, intended to afford a place
where large stores of peace were
available, up to the date of going
to press has not delivered the
goods precisely in accordance
with specifications. If it is not
practical at this time to have a
hall of international peace, per
haps it would be possible to set
aside an area that could be us
ed when wars had to be pulled
off. a ssort of international battle
ground where differences could
be settled at arms. In that way
much valuable property could be
saved and some hard feelings av
oided. Generals Sherman and
Sheridan of Civil War fame, were
spoken of unkindly, less because
they were victors than because
the one burned barns and the
other cleaned up the supplies in
a good growing country.
In the interest of safety, four
thousand policemen are distribut
ed along the streets of a city
through which the King of Eng
land must pass. Perhaps Edward
Windsor may heave a sigh of re
lief and recall what John Bun
van said about a man who was
on his way to the gallows: “There
but for the grace of God, goes
John Bunyan." ,
