American Fascism
The high opinion in which the
Supreme Court of the United States
has been held since this country
was founded is steadily dropping as
the justices write new opinions. The
average citizen and taxpayer, like
the writer, is too busy trying to
get along in this complicated age
to p~Y close attention to the deci-
siGns of the court. When the situs-
tion becomes so bad that liberal
writers begin to comment, it is
time that the average citizen ,be-
came aware of what is going on.
David I~twrence in an editorial
"American Fascism," in the United
States News, pays his respects to
the present court in these excerpts.
"The American people for more
than 150 years now have believed
theirs was a government of laws---
and not a government of decrees
dictated by office-holders.
"The State, as we have known it,
is supposed to be the servant and
not the master of the people.
"The idea that a group of 'ex-
pects' sitting In the capacity of
commissioners in any board tn !
Washington can take away at will
the rights reserved to the people
by the Constitution has been ab-
horrent to us,
"A unanimous Supreme Court
said in July 1935 that the law-
making power could not be dele-
gated to executive agencies or
boards by Congress except in spe-
cific and explicit terms and with
definite standards.
"But today a new Supreme Court,
overturning the precedents and de-
cisions of the old, has torn to shreds i
the principles set forth through the
American judiciary for decades.
"This new Court is controlled by
five men--a majority--all of whom
came not from the bench but from
the emall clique of class-minded
officials and advisers who developed
the new Deal.
"The New Deal philosophy of
government .by bureaucracy, instead
of by Congress, can be defended by
its exponents as a desirable form of
escape for lazy legislators or policy-
making executives in a democracy,
just as sincere-minded citizens may
order by ballot an 'ism' they chooee.
"But when five justices of the
highest court of the land, who hold
office for life, endeavor to apply
the New Deal philosophy through a
contortion of the words of Congress
---indeed by supplying works that
were omitted by Congress from the
statute---and seek to justify their
action by stating what they think
is desirable national policy in la-
bor relations, it is going too far.
Such action merely lays the base
for totalitarianism in which the
liberties of the citizens are grad-
ually taken from him by an all-
powerful State."
Offer Prize For Best Design
For Cornell College Signs
The Cornell Men's Senate has of-
feted a prize of $1 for the best de-
sign for a Cornell college sign to be
placed at each end of Mount Ver-
non. Attractive signs at each end
of town would take advantage of
the advertising opportunity offered
by the fact that the Lincoln High-
way, U. S. No. 30, runs right past
the Cornell campus. Recent figures
released by the state show that this
highway is the second heaviest
travelled in the state. This action
on the part of the Men's Senate is
to be commended.
It doesn't take Congress much
longer to vote another billion than
it does for an individual to fish
a nickel out of his pocket for a
paper to read about tt.~Ttmes,

Have you ever wished to see

school would be a more pleasant
place to be if we were able to do
this. How many times have you
seen somebody doing something
foolish and wished that that per-
son might see himself!
On the other hand, there are
those of us who would, I'm afraid,
be pretty embarrassed and angry.
We must remember that school is
a public place and therefore all
types and kinds of people can he

,John Walton
Four years ago John came to Mt.
Vernon High School from a neigh-
boring country school. He has
been a member of the basketball
squad for two years and has gone
out for track one year. When John
is not busy helping his father with
work on the farm he can be found
partaking in one of his numerous
hobbies. He is very fond of hunt-
ing, enjoys playing kitten-ball, and
also lives to drive a ear-load of
people about town in his spare time.
His subjects deal with the work he
plans to take up as his life's work.
After graduation John plans to
work on the farm. We wish him
the best of luck, happiness and
success, after he leaves Mt. Vernon
High School.

CHEATING
Probably all of us have heard at
some time or other the somewhat
hackneyed saying that, "When you
cheat, you only cheat yourself."
Perhaps it is somewhat worn from
use, but still we think that it's as
true as it ever was.
In school, for instance, It's aw-
fully easy just to copy someone
else's paper, or to lie about your l
iowa grade, or to do something elsei
~that you really know isn't quite
honest, in order to get a better
grade. Soon we forget it, and In
time it seems as if we really pro-
fited from it. That's where we're
deceived.
Somewhere, deep down in our
character, there are certain traits
of honesty and trustworthiness.
Every time we cheat, no matter at
what it is, we've weakened those
traits, and destroyed from within
something that's far more import-
.ant to a person than either his body
or his mind, his character. We're
not saying that everyone or nearly

eset at some time in his life will
