Republicans, with 123,760 more registered voters, squeezed out approximately the same edge in contests for Governor and United States Senator on May 17. Democratic nominees, however, won the Royal Oak nominations for all four statewide offices. Combined votes cast for Republican candidates for Governor totaled 1,429,047 to 1,281,694 for the Democrats, unofficial totals struck from the official tally by counties showed. The difference in favor of the Republicans was 147,363. There are 2,140,496 registered Republicans and 2,016,736 Democrats. Superior Court Judge Arthur H. James, Republican nominee for Governor, polled 937,592 votes. Senator James H. Davis, seeking re-election, received 811,450 in his sue- cessful bid for the party nomination. Charles Alvin Jones, Democratic gubernatorial nomin- ee, received 591,546 votes, and Governor Earle, nominated for the Senate, was given 766,622, Jones beat Lieutenant Governor Thomas Kennedy, CIO-Guffey candidate for the gubernatorial nomination by 74,445 votes. Charles J. Margiotti, deposed attorney gen- eral, polled only 173,047 votes for the gubernatorial nom- ination. Gifford Pinchot’s total for the Republican nomination for Governor was 450,595 votes, less than half the votes polled by Judge James. G. Mason Owlett trailed Davis for the senatorial nomination by 369,937 votes. The Earle-Jones-Mundy-Logue ticket won the Royal Oak nomination for statewide offices, prohibiting the party name from being used by any other political group in the Fall campaign. WE MUST BUY IF WE WOULD SELL The people of the United States might as well under- stand that if they expect to sell the products of America to the people of foreign countries, they must be willing to buy reasonable quantities of foreign products. Farmers of the United States ought to be vitally in- terested in the maintenance of foreign markets for sur- plus wheat, cotton and other agricultural products of the United States. Even manufacturers, the main beneficiar- ies of our high tariff policies, should realize that the farmers of this country will be able to buy more Ameri- can products if foreign markets are able to take the sur- plus products of American farms at a fair price. Laborers who want steady employment should easily understand that the exchange of goods between nations does not nec- essarily mean lessened employment in the countries that barter their products. As a case in point, we call attention to the agitation to bar Czech shoes in this country. In concluding a recipro- cal treaty with Czechoslovakia, the United States agreed to permit the importation of shoes at present duty rates not to exceed one and one-quarter per cent. of American production. In return, Czechoslovakia granted the United States certain concessions, including an enlarged quota for automobiles, equal to fifteen per cent. of the Czech home production. It is interesting to read figures made public by the Tariff Commission, reporting that the purchases of Czechoslovakia in the United States have doubled in four years, increasing from $19,273,000 in 1933 to $38,989,- 000 in 1937. More than half of the sales was cotton. It is obvious that the sale of cotton to Czechoslovakia increased the purchasing power of cotton growers in this country. It is reasonable to assume that most of the money was spent THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA. jective in view, by vigorously opposing the wage-hour | bill and nearly all other legislation sponsored by President Roosevelt and lesser liberals for the betterment of the | commoners. | As all candid people who can read know this state- ment to be only the truth, the question arises: Why should the workers contribute to the upkeep of those forces which, about six times a week, either disparage or condemn everything that tends to do away with economic oppression ? It seems that today the American worker is about the only individual anywhere who shells out his money to pay for assaults upon himself and his aspirations! A WISE JUDGE ADVISES THE JUDGES The judges who sit on the court benches of the United States have a great responsibility, for upon their decisions depends not only justice in particular cases, but the suc- cess of the law in its effort to serve society. Everybody is familiar with the idea that the govern- ment of the United States is composed of three branches —legislative, executive and judicial. Considerable empha- sis has been placed upon a proper seperation of the legis- lative and executive functions. It is just as important to stress the complete separation of judicial function from the legislative and executive functions. The judge who sits on the bench to try issues between citizens and to define the spheres of Government has the obligation of clearly recognizing and observing the limita- tion placed upon his power. It is the duty of the judge to rigorously confine himself to the judicial role. He is not justified, for any reason, to invade the province of the executive or legislative branches of our governmental sys- tem. The obligation is more pressing because, under our system, the voice of the judge is the last word. There 18 no appeal from the Supreme Court and the only restraint upon the judges is their own restraint. This discussion will introduce the recent remarks of Justice William Harman Black, of the New York State Supreme Court, which, we think, should be read and pon- dered by many judges throughout the nation. The justice was asked to uphold the right of the City of New York to collect a sales tax from a company which leases conduits for subways under streets to utilities through which to run telephone and telegraph wires. Attorneys for the city ad- mitted that the law “strictly and literally” did not apply to the company but contended that “because of the fun- damental legislative intent expressed within the four cor- ners of the statute” the tax should be applied. The Justice granted an injunction to the company, re- straining the city from collecting the tax, saying that “the Court has no discretion to say what the intent of the law was.” In this connection, Justice Black continues: “This Court that ours is a government of men under laws, and not a government where judges and court may substitute their ‘expression’ for law the life of every law is breathed into it by the matured and considered judgment of the people who voted for it. is old-fashioned enough to still believe because “Law, which is really a condition imposed by circum- stances, is the crystallization of public opinion, and judges have no right to break the crystal of the law.” Constitu- frequently judges “That same public opinion has under the tion the right to change the law, and has changed it. But it was never intended that our should change the laws nor make the laws.” Expressing the hope that the observations of the Court would not be regarded as gratuitous, Justice Black stated that in full realization of his duty and his oath, he felt that his remarks were not only opposite, but are spec- ially called for by the situation in some courts today. Judge Black takes up the tendency of Judges to cen- sor the laws or to exercise discretion in regard to them and very clearly sets forth the fundamental principles that should govern every judicial opinion. We hope our readers will reflect upon the quotation below: “If judges may write opinions in which they say what the law is and then in the same breath presume to exercige their diseretion to set aside the laws the people have made, then ours is no longer a government of laws, but govern- ment of judges. or ~ the “A judge has no more right to make laws than an executive or a legislature has to construe them after they are made. “If constitutional or statutory rights are naught, then these three dire results may follow: “First: No man can say what the law is or what it may be declared to be. set at “Second: There will follow less respect for the courts. “Third: Ours will be a government by whim, which it is the very object of the law to prevent. “This court has no criticism for any decision by any court, but if it had been misled into trying to regulate the conduct of citizens by substituting the exercise of its dis- cretion for the plain words of written constitutions or statutes, it would feel that it had betrayed the trust re- posed in it and had violated its oath to sustain the Consti- tution. “It believes that such decisions on its part would have endorsed a government by caprice, which would totally undermine the fundamental ideas of our founders. As be- tween decisions by whim (which may differ with every judge who renders them) and what may be regarded as a too strict interpretation of constitutions and laws, there is far less danger in the latter, “When a court assumes to exercise its discretion and sets aside a constitutional provision or a statute, it is sub- stituting government by judicial opinion for government by law, “However much this court might feel inclined to sympathize with the praiseworthy efforts of the city to raise funds for the purposes sought to be accomplished, it is not willing to pay the price of reading into law a mean- ing it does not have.” Don’t postpone making that contribution to charity until you have a million dollars. You might not make the million. The American farmer is in a dilemma. If he grows all he can raise, the world won't buy his products at a living price, if he cuts down on his production, fhe critics talk about “scarcity.” As we gather it, the capitalists are ready to invest their money just as soon as the government guarantees them a big return. | made her remember what happen ed | THE Orrick CAT “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” ¢ Figure It Out For Yourself Here's a brain teaser for the wise guys of the Office Cat Club Three Arabs on a tedious journey across the desert devise a game.
