Beck, solicitor general of the United States, speaking as guest of honor at a recent Pennsylvania society dinner In New. York on The Problem of the Supreme Court," suggested It would be In the interest of public policy for the countrys highest tribunal of justice to give advisory opinions In advance of litigation under certain conditions. His proposal was that when congress by a Joint resolution signed by the President should request from the Supreme court nn advisory opinion on proposed legislation, thq constitutionality of which is in doubt, the court should comply. He said the courts power to. refuse such aid cannot be questioned and it must be left to the discretion of the justices whether they would comply with the request of congress. Aid should not be declined, he said, when a clear question of the power of congress to do a certain thing was involved in a concrete case and the proposed law was not a political Issue In the partisan sense. lie did not suggest any new law to accomplish this result and cited an instance of. 100 years ago, when President Monroe asked the Supreme court for advice as to the power of the federal government to make appropriations to be expended wholly within one state. The court, he said, for the first and only time In its history, authorized one of the justices to advise the President a to its opinion, which in this ease was favorable.

The presentation was made at a dinner at which Norman II. Davis pre' sided. In accepting the award, Viscount Cecil asserted that the advance In the last five years in the direction of Inhad been litternational tle short of marvelous. Praising the United Stales for having consistently stood for peace, Alscount Cecil said that he would not utter a word of criticism of the attitude of America toward the League of Nations. lie stressed, however, the accomplishments of the league since its inception tinder Jhe leadership of AVoodrow Wilson, whom he characterized as "a great American and a great citizen of the world.

He praised the work of the AVashington conference, but said there remained to be dealt with the rest of the naval problem, cruisers and submarines, and the whole of the lnnd and air forces of the world. Bruce and Harrison Clash in Senate Senntor Bruce of Maryland (por- trait herewith) and Senator Harrison of Mississippi, both Democrats, had a spectacular clash on the floor of the senate the other day over the 1924 election, the specific point at issue being whether or not the country has lost confidence In the Democratic party, as now organized and managed. Senator Bruce asserted that the Democratic party had discarded ancient. American Ideals nnd had strayed in the direction of AAisconsin, Nebraska and North Dakota. AAliat happened on November 4 last was the result, he added. Senator Harrison, replying to the Marylander, almost charged him with to his party. Senator disloyalty Bruce, he declared, had In the last session of congress given aid and succor to the administration Republicans by supporting the Mellon tax plan nnd with assisting the leaders on the other side in thwarting our plans nnd our efforts to carry out our policies. It was nothing less than an exhibition of audacity, he exclaimed, for Mr. Bruce to rise In the senate and criticize his Democratic colleagues nnd his party. In reply to the Mississippian the Marylander characterized Senator Harrison as a narrow, contracted, small bore partisan, adding that he had no npologies to make for his past activities In the senate or his lifelong record ns n Democrat, lie was voting the Democratic ticket, he remarked, before Senator Harrison was born. AVhat he wanted, he added, was a party that would continue true to the policies of Jefferson and Grover Cleveland. KILLING OF MOTHER BY YOUNG GIRL AROUSES CIVIC BODIES TO ACTION Womans Organizations Propose War On Vamps and Shieks; Elling-so- n Girl May Be Over Sixteen San Francisco. Womens clubs and civic organizations here have started a campaign against the activities of young women designated as called men and sheiks, as vamps a result of official disclosures touching on the night life of Miss Dorothy Ellingson 16, who shot her mother to death when the parent objected to the company and hours her daughter was keeping. Miss Ellingson revealed, after her arrest in a rooming house here forty-eighours after the shooting, that she had taken $45 from the room in which she killed her mother and danced and drank at a party on the evening following the killing. The slaying of Mrs. Ellingson by her daughter was the subject of much comment from the pulpits of the varSome of the most ious churches. prominent pastors in the city dwelt at length on the episode. All of the discussion stressed the need of more solidarity in the home and society. Up until Sunday the girls age was accepted at 16. AVhats happening to Leon Trotzky, war minister of Soviet Russia, these days? All of the stories that are getting into print about him cant he true. Perhaps none of them are. Its a credulous man who believes what he reads about Russia these days. But Americans are more or less interested in Comrade Trotzky because he used to he here with us nnd because Grand Duchess Victoria Feodorovnn, wife of Grand Duke Cyril Vladltnlrovltch, has just visited us and told us that her And husband Is to be Czar Cyril I. of course Comrade Trotzky must be pulled down from the saddle before Cyril can mount. Is Comrade Trotzky still In the saddle? Thats the question. He may be husky or dying or dead for all the American press knows. All stories agree on one first: that Trotzky Is a stonn center Just now. It also seems likely that he Is 111. But one story says hes a prisoner of his opponents In Moscow. Another says hes In exile" In the Caucasus. A third has it that hes back from the Caucasus and in con trol of things In Moscow. Anyway, it appears certain that Comrade Trotzky has written a book.

Salt Lake City. Headlights in Governor Derns message to the legislature are: 1. We shall never be assured of the intelligent voting until we adopt the headless ballot. The present election machinery in regard to the form of ballot presupposes a degree of illiteracy and ignorance that we should be ashamed to admit. 2. The election of the judiciary and the state superintendent of instruction a year following the presidential election would go far toward taking these important branches of government out f politics. 3. Any expenditure that will cut down doctor bills and funer-expenses and save human lives is well spent. 4. An efficient judiciary is essential in good government. 5. The benefits of the department of finance and purchase have not been commensurate with the expense to justify its retention. 6. The state should live within its means. The chief concern should not be to seek new sources of revenue, but to decrease expenditure. 7. The accomplishments of a legislative session are not to be measured by the number of new laws enacted. 8. The most pressing question in government today is economy. 9. If the interior departments position in state lands is sustained it will leave title to all state lands in chaos. 10. The solution for compensation for victims of automobile accidents is extremely 11. I believe that every complicated. sound thinking man and woman is favorable to proper .regulation of the kbor of. children and the only involved is whether regulation should be state or national.
