Blackstone. now cast into the
discard as a teacher of aspirants
to legal fame, said that a court
is a place where justice is judi
cially administered. To most
persons it is a place where one
has to go now and then, against
his will, for an unpleasant and
often unsatisfactory' experience.
Despite the fact that Courts are
regarded as something of a nuis
ance, the ways whereof are not
understood by those most vitally
concerned, the Supreme Court
issue probably has attracted more
attention from the general public
than any other matter that Cong
ress has considered during the
present session.
It is not out of order, therefore
to not that Mr. Hugo L. Black
has been raised by the Senate to
the place on the Supreme Bench
made vacant by the retirement
of Mr. Van Devanter. Threats of
a rifts between the executive and
legislative branches over his ap
pointment vanished into thin air,
to the satisfaction of the party
in poweT, and possibly to the cha
grin of others: all of which sim
ply is set down as an incident of
the day, without comment or ex
pression of personal opinion.
The individual Is likely to feel
somewhat disturbed when he finds
that he is in the hole. It is not so
with a government presided over
by an administration which is
Democratic or Republican, ruled
by king, prince or potentate, lo
cated on the American continent,
in Europe or on the sands of Ar
rica. A government call roll ov
er in bed for another nap and let
the clock tick off the amount to
be paid. So it happens that the
U. S. A. is not out of the usual
run in reminding Congress that
about a hundred million dollars
are needed at this time, nor is
the House doing more than or
dinary routine work in making
the appropriation. A public debt
seems to bear about the same re
lation to a countr ythat a house
where George Washington tarr
ied over night does to a small
town. No well regulated area
should be without one.
The line has to be drawn some
wrhere. nevertheless, and Capitol
Hill has put down its foot, for

self with the usual policy of
strengthening its forces in the
zone of trouble, to the end that
neither of the warring powers
may go too far in haste, and put
American citizens or American
rights in jeopardy. The situation

when somebody calls the police
