I replied in the spirit in which he asked the question and Walsh explained becoming in the course of his explanation quite to me convincing Senator Walsh Senator Borah and Justice Sutherland began their practice of law and spent most of their legal careers in three Rocky mountain states Walsh in Montana Senator Borah in Idaho Justice Sutherland in Utah They began at a time before those states were admitted to the union when they were still unorganized communities still frontier and the people in them mainly frontiersmen When Laws and Lawyers Acted In those pioneer communities law as law had little and lawyers as lawyers rather less It was not enough for a lawyer to emit a Latin legal maxim and expect a jury to be impressed or for a political speaker oratorically to belch the word "constitution" and expect his audience to genuflect A lawyer could not merely say "bill of rights" and expect the phrase as a phrase to move the Jury He had to explain just what the right guaranteed by the constitution was and make the jury see it was a right which every individual ought to have Those frontier settlements had rigid notions about personal freedom and the protection of property In dealing with infractions of their simple code they were more severe and More prompt than older communities Swiftness and certainty in the meting out of justice were often assured Indeed by a sponWWII informality which the 0 I The Forum By Our Readers A gentleman of importance writes me of restoring his thinning hair to former luxuriance after many false starts His recipe: An English whalebone bristled brush 100 strokes a day then rub in cocoanut cocoanut butter Says he: "This process brushes the dead hairs out and is a great stimulant I figure no kanacks are ever bald They must use cocoanut oil Hence!" The most persistent seeker for the baldness panacea is likely Aubrey Eadx who has chased the will o' the wisp to all parts of the world Paris Berlin Vienna Constantinople He has spent a sizable fortune in the quest over a period of 15 years but his hair still thins Yet he does not regard the results with pessimism "Maybe' he observes "without these ministrations I would have been entirely

his cases Those little pockets of new American life in the Rocky mountains went through in one generation the experience that in England had consumed centuries the experience of crystallizing common sense into law and the average mans' sense of justice into judicial institutions In the process the lawyers of the communitiem had to be teachers To one practicing in those frontier villages it was not enough that he knew the law He had to know what the law ought to be and had to explain to the jury why it should be Those frontier communities were microcosms embryos of organized society The lawyers who practiced there had to be not lawyers who merely quoted the constitution but teach-ere and leaders who so to speak built the consitution anew from the ground up as if it had never existed before Modern America Must Be Made to See Now the application of this narrative le that the present generation of America must be taught why the constitution is must be led to see how their freedom and the protection of their property rest upon it and to see that the constitution is merely the written epitome of common sense and of judgment arrived at through calm reason the condensed wisdom of the race distilled from eight centuries of experience since Magna Charts Thie generation must be taught the constitution as it was taugh to the generation that adopted it and as parts of it were' taught to generations before The lawyers who are to plead for the constitution before the courts in the various new deal cases may win legal decisions for their clients by merely legal arguments They may win by citing lines of previous decisions But if they live up to their obligations they should do more They should try to win their cases be fore the people a people who never heard of Marbury

oner'j tt aggt aggtt Tax System of States Criticised by Reader Tribune: It becomes more apparent that bogey tax experts have gotten each state in this nation fighting against 'self every citizen's hand turned against his neighbor The nature of our constitutional government ideals does not permit destruction of our government by such occurences wherein the aged and infirm are compelled to bear the support of government Persons who are unable to earn wages are now not permitted to keep a home The home is taken away in the name of taxes Incompetents are compelled to support government officials with their last ounces of energy and savings Vassal tax experts don't dare advocate that the state should go out and evict aged and infirm persons from homes which represent life savings but tax authorities propose that each county shall give letters of authority to agents requiring them to seize all of this property of the poor for private profits and return to 'the state its "pound of flesh" Thus our fair states are misrepresented to create a condition where'll those people who have frugally willingly and uncomplainingly paid more than their just part of government costs for half a century and are now unproductive are pauperized Because they have not put enough cash in unbroken banks to pay taxes they may not have a home of their own They must pay rent or be kicked out They

medium of exchange by reducing the gold content of the dollar by raising the price of gold to $35 per ounce and also fixing the price of silver at 029 per ounce these prices should apply only to gold and silver produced in the United States It should have been made unlawful to buy either coin or bullion from any other nation for money purposes In justice to other nations this should have been in

somewhat amazed at your statement that Thomas Paine was an atheist My dictionary says: one who disbelieves or denies the existence of God" Now in Mr Paine's dedication of the "Age of Reuon" he says: "Fellow Citizens of the United States of America: "I put the following work under your protection It contains my opinion upon religion You will do me the justice to remember that I have always strenuously supported the right of every man to his opinion however different that opinion might be to mine He who denies to another this right makes a slave of himself to his present opinion because he precludes himself the right of changing it "The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason I have never used any other and I trust I never shall Your affectinoate friend and fellow citizen THOMAS PAINE "Jan 27 1790 Now sir in the fourth paragraph of this work he makes a statement 'of his faith thus: "I believe in one God and no more and I hope for happineis beyond this life Later in a setter to Samuel Adams be exact January 1 said: "But instead 5fbuffet1ng the Deity with prayers as if I distrusted Him or must dictate to Him I reposed myself on His protection' So you will find by looking into this statement a little deeper that Thomas Paine was not an atheist A CHESTER 1 Rock Spina Wyo Gold Buying Abroad Brings Objections Editor Tribune: In The Tribune of
