Even the chief justice of the United States supreme court, an august personage formidable of title if not of mien, is not sacred when he makes a mistake. If he asks the new President of the United States to pledge hmiself to preserve, maintain and defend the Constitution instead of to preserve, protect and defend it, he may expect to be called down. Helen Terwill inger, who is 13 years old, knows her Constitution, and she caught the error. In reply, Chief Justice Taft could offer no extenuation except the defect of an old man's memory. If the younger generation will only learn to obey the Constitution, which it knows so well, many of the problems we are now meeting will be solved. And we believe there is a growing respect for the Constitu tion among the young because of the extensive and intensive study of it by the great school body of the country in relation to the annual oratorical contests.

Such proposals as this are usually condemned on two distinct courts. By those of a pacific inclination, they are condemned as too weak, allowing anything to be put over on the peo ple as "defensive war." By those of a jingoistic slant, they are condemn ed as a danger to the policy of self defense and protection of national in terests. However, the proposal of Mr. Fish is more properly to be criticized on back into the mysteries of how wars a totally dkerent basis. Delving back into the myseries of how wars start, we find that a period must al ways be allowed, before any major war, in which to prepare the minds of masses of people for any govern mental action. A provision for a ref erendum, while naturally founded on the theory that people as a whole are opposed to war, is nevertheless apt to give an excellent opening for such a period of propaganda. Anyone who considers the pitch to which people are aroused, emotion ally, by a presidential election, will not fail to realize that a referendum on war merely would give the jingo ists their opportunity to arouse hat reds and fears where none need exist for any sound reason. No, the way to peace is not by majority vote on war. The way to peace is more near ly through the election of honest and far-sighted men to public office men who realize at the outset that war is bad and will shape policies in such a way as to avoid hostilities. Cin cinnati Enquirer. :o: A PULPIT DICTATOR Bills are pending in the legislatures of several states providing for mo tion picture censorship boards, and as usual bitter fights characteristic of legislation of this nature are be ing waged. Enlightened public thought is em phatically opposed to laws of this character, and where the censorship idea has been tested it has been an ignoble failure. Nevertheless, so-called moral forces are persistently at work striving to enthrone censorship for the theatres, and the next step, of course, will be to force censorship for the press. Finally will come a board of cen sorship for the pulpit, and, judging from the texts of sermons preached by some of the clergy it does seem that there at least ought to be a national pulpit director, clothed with powers similar to those exercised by Will Hayes in the realm of movie dom. A Portland. Oregon paper a few days since printed a list of the ser mon topics announced by some of the pastors for their Sunday dis courses. Here it is: "Dancing with the Devil." "The Lure of the Movies." "What Is Mayor Baker Do ing?" "Portland, the Paradise of Prostitutes." "Give Aimee a Chance." "Ruined by Rum?" "Sitting on the Lid." Satan in Chinatown." "Pickled in Gin and Sin." Is there or is there not exactly the same appeal in such announcements as these, for attention and attend ance as that which characterizes titles of motion picture plys to which very violent exception has been taken by some of our church organizations the country over? Of course not all pastors resort to such appeals, but neither do all pictures play produc ers. -:o:- OUR MASS PRODUCTION An English business man. return ing to his native shores after a visit to the United States, expressed him self thus about our system of masB production and installment buying: "The people (of the United States) are spending their earnings in ad vance and must go on earning. But should the demand either at home or abroad fall off and employers begin to discharge men, what would hap pen? Installments would be lactnng, and goods in various stages of wear and tear would lose much more than the fraction of one per cent they are losing in that way now." There is no question but that our present economic system is geared to high speed. If it should suddenly be slowed down the consequences, un dubitably, would be serious. Whether they would be as bad as this Eng lishman believes may be an open question; the matter, at all events, is one that deserves serious Btudy by the most competent minds in the country. :o:- Read the Journal Want-Ads. HOOVER EVADES THE SENATE. The flare-up in the Senate over the retention of Mr. Mellon as secretary of the treasury without his name be ing submitted for confirmation or re jection, recalls a lively incident of Andrew Johnson's administration, an echo of which has recently come from the Supreme Court. When Johnson succeeded to the presidency, he became involved in a controversy with the Senate concerning the ten ure of office of a presidential ap- pomiee. i ne enaie iut.iM.eu uui and when the President made an ap pointment "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate," he had no right to remove the official thus appointed except with the consent of the Senate. A year or so ago the Su preme Court wrote the last chapter in that issue, deciding that the right to dismiss is inherent in the executive power. The Senate, or certain Senators, now make the point that no cabinet officer can hold over from one admin istration to another without having his nomination resubmitted and re confirmed. Happily, the controversy surrounding Mr. Mellon is not en veloped in the passion and bitterness that marked the difference between the Senate and President Johnson, and there seems to be no likelihood that much will come of the present issue. Mr. Mellon probably will con tinue to serve in the treasury port folio until he quits of his own ac cord. But the Senate has ever been jeal ous of its prerogatives. In the Mellon case, some Senators feel that Presi dent Hoover has sought, and has, in fact, achieved by indirection that which might have been accomplish ed only with difficulty had he pur sued the usual course. It is their contention that, according to custom and practice, the heads of the execu tive departments of the government (cabinet officers) must be nomin ated on every quadriennial March 4th, except in instances where the President succeeds himself. No new comer in the White House has ever, until now, failed to send to the Sen ate a complete list of his official fam ily, upon assuming office, and that course, it is argued, should have been followed by Mr. Hoover. The same reasoning applies to Secretary Davis, of the department of labor, he, too, being a hold-over from the Coolidge administration. In witholding the names of Messrs. Mellon and Davis. President Hoover cleverly averted a fight in the Sen ate over the secretary of the treas ury, to whom, admittedly, many Sen ators are opposed. :o: A NEW SAHARA Word comes from Washington that the Hoover administration is going to launch a determined campaign to deprive the national capital of the distinction of being one of the wet test spots in the United States. Just how they are going to do it is not explained, but the report hath it that the first objective will be to deprive members of Congress of their liquor supplies; that the regularly organized bootleggers routes in the Senate and the House office buildings will be broken up, and the battle will then shift to other official circles. Startling if true. No longer will the pretty little red cherry peer cov ly from the bottom of a baccardi cocktail. Never again will the wick ed mountain dew, dropping in the silver globules from the rim of a frosted glass gleam on Senatorial vests after they have imbibed the pre-dinner cocktail. Never again will the stuffed olive, loafing lazily in the amber depths of a martini, wink a lascivious pimento eye at the an chovy coiled voluptiously on top of the toast and cavler appetizer.

For at times certain of our noble statesmen were demanding, in the interest of company economy, that this pension be cut to $1S00 a year. Nothing more shameful and cheap could be done; the congressmen who advocated these deduction stand re vealed as men of remarkable small statute. General Wood served his country well. At a time when government expenditures are numbered in hun dred dollar lumps, to try to save a few thousand dollars on the pension to the widow of this man would have been penny-pinching of the most dis graceful kind. It is hard to have any patience whatever . with the master minds that suggested it. Fortunate ly, Congress as a whole refused to make the reduction.
