Lewis shook the very foundation of the Democratic party with his recent blast at President Roosevelt accusing the Chief Executive of being an enemy of labor, a rogue, etc., and proclaiming to the world that he would not support the President for a third term, he placed a number of prominent Democratic politicians in a very uncomfortable position. With the President and Lewis at odds, a number of leading members of the Democratic party are attempting to play "both ends to the middle." Senator Wheeler of Montana who apparently will enjoy the Lewis blessing for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency, is endeavoring to shake hands with Mr. Lewis with one hand and pat the President on the back with the other, while Senator Guffey of Pennsylvania, lip for re-election this year, is, in one breath telling what a swell fellow Mr. Lewis is andv in another praising the President and informing his listeners that the people of the nation demand that the President seek a third term. Guffey has.'only one chance for re-election, and that is, if Roosevelt is renominated and by some miracle can carry Pennsylvania and in so doing darry Guffey with him. These are rough days for the boys who pre courting the- blessings of both FDR and John L. The breaking up of the once happy home by the disgruntled bride is causing no end of concern in Democratic ranks and it is rumored that the groom in the White Houte deeply resents what he terms ingratitude on the part.of a "well provided for" spouse. The Supreme Court, One Hundred- Fifty Years Impressive ceremonies in the na^ lion's Capital on February 1st mark the 150th Anniversary of the first meeting of the Supreme Court of the United States. Promptly at noon the ei-ght present Justices of the Court (the recently named Associate Justice Frank Murphy of Michigan has not yet qualified) ascended the bench and with members of the Judiciary Committees of both the Senate and the House held impressive ceremonies in commemoration of the historical occasion. Addresses were given by the Attorney General of the United States and the President of the American Bar Association and the response by the Court was given by the Chief Justice. Later in the day commemorative addresses wer» delivered in the House bv Hatton W. Sumners of Texas and U. S. Guyer of Kansas, Chairman and ranking Republican member, respectively of the House Committee on the Judiciary and in the Senate by | Senators Carl A. Hatch of New Mexico and Warren Austin of Vermont. I Prior to the commemorative exercises I wreaths were placed on the graves of i the deceased members of the Tribunal. 1first meeting of the Supreme Court of the United States took place 1 150 years ago in the Royal Exchange j Building in New York with Chief Justice John Jay presiding. Historians I point out that unlike today there' Was I a dearth of cases for the Court's consideration and after a brief session of a few days it adjourned for several months. The Supreme Court of the United States has always been our great bulwark against injustice oppression and tyranny. May God grant that it always will be. We end this paragraph with the closing words oi' the chant intoned when the Supreme Court convenes, "God save the United States and this Honorable Court." The "Smearing" of Dies The exposure of the dastardly conspiracy to "smear" the Dies Committee and its Chairman by the agents of a subversive organization should of itself be evidence that the action of the House in continuing the Committee's activities for another year, was well taken. Un-American organizations, window dressed with respectable names, cannot endure effectively when the spotlight is turned onto their inr «?r workings. Sometimes the truth hurts. Honest individuals and organizations have no need of resorting to trickerv and forgery to besmirch the V-eputations of those question their sincerity. ^DEBUNKER By John Harvey Furbay, PhS>. STUPID PEOPLE 00HOTOtt AT THE MOVIES MORE THAN INTELLIGENT PEOPLE - Psychologists say that we are all wrong in supposing we are mpre intelligent than our weeping brothers when we feel no urge to shed tears during emotional movies or dramas. Except in cases of "chronic weepers," intelligent people are more likely to feel like having a good cry than are dull people, for they want to cry because their keen imagination makes the scene real. Imagination is one of the big aspects of intelligence, and it enables people to place themselves in the situations acted out by the performers. So, go ahead and enjoy yourself when you want to cry. You have at least a little imagination in you. (Public Ledger--WITO Service.) ^DEBUNKER By John Harvey Furbay, PhJ>. THEBieLt " DOES NOTSAY JONAH WAS SWALLOWED ftY A WHALE '» - The Hebrew Bible does not mention a whale in connection with Jonah. It only speaks of "a great fish." Some English versions of the Bible have translated this as "a whale" (Matt., 12:40). In the French Bible, and in many others, the original meaning is preserved. A whale is not a fish; it is a water mammal Which breathes with lungs and nurses its young. (Public Ledger--WNU Service.) Thursday, February 8,1940 lit t-Ray •vite. L. B.
