Senator Norris
Asks for Needed
Legal
Changes
Opposes Court Power to Rule on Con
stitutionality of Laws 'Gov
ernment by Injunction.'
Power of the courts to hold laws
unconstitutional Sunday prompted
Senator George Norris of Nebraska
at Washington describe American
government as "a government by in
junction." Senator Norris thinks the courts
should not be able to invalidate leg
islation. "This is the only civilized
country in the world." Norris
said in an interview, "in which
a law passed by the parliament
and approved by the executive
can be overruled by a supreme
court. '
"I'm not criticizing the court
in any of the decisions it has
made, but it does illustrate that
we ore a government by injunc
tion." Ncrris said his first preference
would be for a constitutional amend-
mcnt taking away from the courts!

' The Holy Spirit"
John 10:7-11; Rom. 8:10-17, 26,
27.
Cf all the 'Great Teachings' in this
quarter, this lerscn will require more
intense study than any ether. Only a,l6cught Jn conTietion
.WS?"1 reveals and le3d tbepConvfctiorf cf find of ri&ht6-olft,
student into the Truth, can His Per
son be understood. It took even the,
curly church hundreds cf year3 to
define the functions cf the Holy Spirit,
and fcrr.:ulate the doctrine of the
Trinity: but it split the church into!
the oriental and occidental church.
The church cf the Occident believe3
the Holy Spirit to be a person, like
the Father and the Son, with the at
tributes of a rerson, to-wit: (1) He
will renrcve men, John 16:8; (2) He
will teach men: Jchn 16:13; (3) He
will comfort and help, Rom. 8:2C-27.
I-Ic is less understood, because of the
r.iaterialistic nature of men lack of
Spirituality. The Holy Spirit speaks
(Rev. 2:7; Gal. 4;6); He makes in
tircorcicr. (Rom. 8:26); He gives tes
timony (John 13:26); He commands
i.K-r. (Art3 1G:6, 7); He calls men
end appoint.; them to effice (Acts 13:
2; 20:2S). Having thus established
the HcTy Client as a person, who
lurutic::; ai a person, we turn now
to the- premise- cf God, to glre His
Spirit. I:i Joel 3:28-30, spoken S00
years before Pentecost, the promise
was partly fulfilled, under Peter's
'prcar-hi-g, who quotes th3 passage,
the ccirpletc and finsl fulfillment of
the premie awaits the future. Christ
teaches that (1) the Holy Spirit is
the gilt of the Father (Luke 11:9-13).
For rn.'riiuU g"ft3 there must be the
prep-ration of r.und and heart; (2
the Fcly Spirit lc the cue bv whom i
we arc bcr.r. again (John C:5-S). The
jiew birth -i3 the most radical thing
that i
cf 13
:h r.appen to one. It is a change i
entire nature, making him ac
tually a new man. "This i3 the work
cf the Holy SiJirit. This great change
Is net merely an improvement of any
power, or grace, or gat, which we
naturally have; net merely amend
ment cf life, net merely abandoning
of sin. Flesh may Le washed and
adorned; but it is flesh still. The
whole man must be transformed.

This act is a mystery, r.s life is a mys
tery; but the fact remains: "Once I
Avas blind, but now I see;" "We have
passed from death unto life;" "the
love of God is shed abroad in our
hearts, through the Hcly Ghost."
Then Jesus says, it is expedient
the proper thing to do that I go
away, because he. in the flesh, could
only be in one place, comfort and
heal one at a time, but the Holy
Spirit who would take His place
the presonce of Jesus would work
wonders. The presence of Jesus and
all power to hold any law uncon
stitutional. Norris said next to an amendment
to remove the power to declare laws
unconstitutional he would prefer one
requiring four-fifths majority cf the
supreme court to rule a law uncon
stitutional. This principle, of course, would
not have made a difference in the
celebrated NRA case where the court
was unanimous.
As a third choice, Norris would
like to see an amendment designed
to speed decisions by giving the court
original jurisdiction and abolishing
the jurisdiction of all lower courts
over cases involving constitutional
ity of laws.

the benefits he wa3 able to bestow
were great, but the spirit's renova

greater. When the Holy Spirit be
gins his work, he cenvicts man, shows
him where he is wrong. The end
is conversion.

The world has no real sense of what
sin is. "The spirit, working through
the written and spoken word, starts
from the fact of unbelief, in'the Son
of Man and through that lays cpen
what sin is." B. F. Westcott.
Man is unrighteous he needs the
righteousness cf Jesus Christ to be'

God in the day of judgment. The
teachings of the Apostles are very il-
luminating, easily comprehended
for they used terms anyone can under

are dead to sin. Christ and sin can
net dwell together in the heart. How

(Please read these passages!) As
there are many mansions in the Fath

Railroad Crew
of 500 Now at
Work at Valley
Burlingions Emergency Gangs Find
Progress Slow in Flood Area
Until Water Recedes.
While rescue crews on oot and in
boat worked grimly all day Monday
j searching for bodies and helping eth
ers to places of safety, in the flood
section of Nebraska, an emergency
gang of about 500 experienced rail
road builders were on the job clear
ing road beds of debris, salvaging
and rebuilding track over the entire
territory from Edison, Neb., as tar
west as Bijcu, Colo.
While officials of the road would
not attempt an estimate of the dam
age suffered by the Burlington as
the result of the flood in the western
end of the state, repair costs will
mount to a high figure and several
days of continuous sunshine will bej
necessary if the roadbeds are open to
traffic in the next few days. Heaviest
damage to railroad property is over
the McCook division, where rail
executives are still uninformed of
the condition of the property.
F. R. Mullen, general superin
tendent, Lincoln, returned Monday
morning lrom tne nooa area ana tcia
newspaper men that the high flood j
waters and the great amount of in-;
undated land made it impossible to
see how much track had been de
stroyed. In brief, here are the localities
where it is known for sure that track
has been washed out:
Red Cloud and cast three miles.
Four and a half miles between
P.ostwick and Lester.
Considerable damage between Or
leans and Inavale.
Bridge washout at Bijou, Colo.
Damage from Bijou to Fort Mor
gan. Heavy damage in spots from the
Nebraska line east as far as Edison. '
Concordia, Kas., line out between
Hollis and Concordia.
Mr. Mullen said that the force of
the water in some sections twisted
rails into the shape of a letter "8"
and that at 7 a. m. Monday water
was five feet, above the flood stage
at Guide Rock.
Tracks are not damaged from Ox-
tora to iuison, he ays and mspec-

to be out between Superior and Red

Wheat Crop
Shows Great Deal
More Promise
Recovered Rapidly Under May Rains,
Eut Heads May Prove Shorter,
Says Crop Statistician.
"Rains which started soon after
our May report was issued have com
pletely, changed th wheat picture in
Nebraska," says A. E. Anderson, state
and federal crop statistician
"One can hardly see any evidence
of injury, where three week3 ago it
was beginning to look hopeless. Ex
cept for the portions in Nebraska
where stands are thin, I think the
prospects are very good. Wheat Is
making a wonderful growth. The
crop does not need any more mois-
ture.' There is very little likelihood
that we will nave extreme heat be-
fore its maturity, so I see no reason
why we should not have a splendid
crop. On the other hand, the length
of the head was determined at an
early stage and possibly the short
age cf the moisture at that time
might have reduced the length. Of
course it could fill out better from
base to tip and sometimes under fa
vorable conditions like the persent,
wheat will produce six rows of ker
nels instead of our, so you see there
are possibilities. I have seen that
before under favorable moisture con
ditions. --.
"There is always a possibility of
black stem rust, under present mois
ture conditions.. There is also a
chance of considerable lodging,' par
ticularly if the wet weather and
heavy rains cont inue. Of course there
might also budifficulty in getting
wheat harvested, as it was in 1915,
if it continues wet. ,Aside from these
possibilities; T think the. prospects are
very fine. Tha fields having turn
stands -lii eritiwJ,; southwestern, and
extreme western Nebraska have had
every opportunity to stool under this
favorable 'weather, and even those
fie lets may
:ako more yields than one
One thing in favcr of
state" is the fact that ow
ing to the drouth last year, the soil
lias had a rest and there is an ac
cumulation or available plant food
and this should increase .yields con
siderably. Also, in the panhandle of
Nebraska a very large acreage

DROP JOLTS GRAIN MART
Chicago. The grain market was
jolted by a drop in prices that made
new record lows for the season In
wheat, corn, oats and rye.
Venting their nervousness in a
wave of liquidation were traders who
professed shock as a result of Pres
ident Roosevelt's reported expression
that if the government crop control
program were scrapped 36 cent wheal,
would be possible.
Wheat slid three cents to a3 low
as SI 1-4 cents for July, carrying
other grains down sharply before suf
ficient support appeared to right the
market. A mild rally, influenced
partly by later independent strength
In the corn pit, brought wheat back
to within 1 to 1 1-2 cents of the
previous close, July finishing at 82
