Noted Attorney J to Talk in Omaha Former Solicitor General Un der President Taft to Dis cuss Supreme Court. William Marshall Bullitt of Louis ville, Ky., believes that If one can maintain a sweet disposition until 10 s. m., the rest of the day will take tare of Itself. This has been his practice for years. He arrived in Omaha Saturday morning to deliver an address before the Palimpsest club Saturday night at the Omaha club on "The Supreme Court and the Constitution.’’ John L. Wehstcr will preside. His first observation after becom ing orientated at the Hotel Fon tcnelle, was to rerall that during his visit here in August, 1918, the tem perature was 110 in the shade and fimaha was one of the warmest spots. A Curious Thing. When anyone refers to the "solid south" in the presence of this Ken- | tuckian, he is at onee told that on November 4 the Blue Grass state went into the Conlidga column with a margin of 30,000 and on the same day elected a republican United States senator, Frederick M. Sackett, who is a business man rather than ] politician. Discussing national politics across the breakfast table, Mr. Bullett stated that it is a curious thing that such ( astute politicians as Bryan in 1890, Roosevelt in 1912 and LaFollette and Wheeler In 1924, completely misin terpreted and misjudged the opinion of the great mass of the people with respect to congress on one hand and the courts on the other. Former Solicitor General. "The people have great confidence in the courts as such." he said. "They distrust the legislative branch, both the congress and the state legisla tures, and the people have no inten tion of surrendering the power of the courts whom they trust to the legis lative branch whom they distrust; and the politicians who have sought to make an issue of the courts and to limit their power or recall their de cisions, have simply failed to recog nize the true state of public opinion regarding legislative and judicial branches of the government." This southerner believes that the outstanding significance of the na tional election last month was "The people believe In Coolidge." Mr. Bullitt served as solicitor gen eral of the United States for a period during the administration of William Howard Taft, he Is editor of Bullitt's civil and criminal code of Kentucky, served es special counsel for the United States shipping board and the United States Shipping Board Emer genecy Fleet corporation.
