VALIDITY OF DRY
Washington, Jan. 22.—The life of
constitutional prohibition Wednes-
day night was in the keeping of the
Supreme court.
Within a few weeks it is to hand
down a ruling sustaining or invali-
dating the Eighteenth Amendment.
It listened intently Wednesday to
arguments supporting and attacking
the recent decision of Federal Judge
William Clark of New Jersey hold-
ing the amendment was improperly
ratified because submitted to the
State Legislatures rather than popu-
lar vote. conventions.
For the Government, Solicitor
General Thacker contended the court
already had settled the issues pre-
sented in favor of the validity of the
amendment, and that it was within
the discretion of Congress to choose
the mode of ratification.
Supporting the Clark decision,
Julius Henry Cohen and Selden Ba-
con, New York attorneys, maintain-
ed it was mandatory that a proposed
constitutional amendment subjecting
individual rights to Federal control
be ratified by State conventions.
The small courtroom was crowded
with spectators. Many members of
Congress were present. A long line
waited outside the door seeking' ad-
mittance.
One Question Asked.
Only once throughout the entire
argument did a member of the court
interrupt to ask a .question. It is cus-
tomary for the Judges to question
counsel freely.
At the outset of the session, Chief
Justice Hughes withdrew from the
case. He said he had submitted a
brief when prohibition was before
the court q decade ago and felt this
disqualified him.
Mr. Thacher.’s argument was bas-
ed upon a contention that Article 5
of the Constitution clearly had given
Congress authority to determine the
manner in which amendments, should
be ratified, whether by legislature or
convention.
He insisted the court by reepated
decisions, especially in the national
prohibition cases of 1920, had al-
ready decided the discretion of Con-
gress in this particular could not be
limited or abridged by interpreta-
tions of the intentions of the authors
of the Constitution.
Cohen and Bacon argued the lib-
erties of the people were at stake
and "that if Legislatures could legal-
ly abrogate their constitutional
rights, then the Government would
degenerate into a despotic oligarchy.
Refer to John Marshall.
They made frequent references to
the opinions of John Marshall, fam-
ed Chief Justice of the early days of
the Republic,and to the writings of
James Madison who had an import-
ant share in framing the Constitu-
tion.
The one question asked by the
court came from Associate Justice
Sutherland. He inquired of Bacon
whether it was contended the Eight-
eenth Amendment to- be valid must
be submitted to the direct vote of
the people.
Bacon’s reply was it should have
gone to State conventions. When the
Constitution was written, he said,
the people were not thinking of ref-
erenda.
Solicitor General Thacher used but
half an hour of the two-hour period
assigned to him, and declined to pre-
sent additional argument after Cohen
and Bacon had finished. Their argu-
ments consumed their entire two
hours.
GREAT OUTDOORS PICTURE
SETTING
Lovers of the great outdoors, of
superb and daring horsemanship and
of lusty fist fights will find lots of
things to interest them at the Mis-
sion theater where Bob Steele’s fea-
ture, “Near the Rainbow’s End,” will
be shown Friday and Saturday.
Bob Steele is rapidly forging his
way to the front ranks of talking
picture players as a portrayer of vir-
ile, actionful, peppy Western heroes.
His horsemanship is superb and his
ability as a scrapper is beyond ques-
tion. In “Near the Rainbow’s End”
he has ample opportunity to display
both these talents.
Louise Lorraine appears opposite
Steele, and the supporting cast in-
cludes Lafe McKee, Ai Ferguson and
A1 Hewston. J. P. McGowan directed.
Young men look rather to the past
age than the present, and therefore
the future may have* some hope of
them—Swift.

SERVICEMEN
DEMAND CASH
OF CONGRESS
WOMAN STUDENT
SHOT ON CAMPUS AT
TULSA UNIVERSITY
BROADWAY
Washington, Jan. 22.—American
Legionnaires, several hundred strong’,
Wednesday urged Congress to ap-
prove cash payments on their ad-
justed compensation certificates.
They marched to the capitol and
there held a demonstration and were
addressed by three members of the
House. Most of the men were from
Washington and Maryland.
Meamvhile, Secretary Mellon ad-
vised the House Ways and Means
Committee that passage of such leg-
islation Avould have a serious effect
on national finances and the general
aconomic situation.
In the Senate, Chairman Smoot
)f the Finance Committee announced
hearings would begin on Monday on
cash payment proposals. Senator
OaraAvay, Democrat of Arkansas, ask-
Ad that the committee be discharged
from the consideration of such legis-
lation.
Mellon’s recommendation had to
do with a bill by Democratic Leader
Gai-ner. He did not specifically dis-
approve it but laid emphasis on the
Tulsa, Okla., Jan. 21.—A young
woman student at the University of
Tulsa was shot and dangerously
wounded on the college campus Wed-
nesday and the wife of her former
employer was arrested.
Driving up behind Miss Gaudell,
28, as the young woman was parking
her automobile, Mrs. Endacott, wife
of a Tulsa architect, left her car and
two shots were fired from a pistol
at Miss Caudell. One bullet entered
her right lung and the other entered
her left side.
Miss Caudell was secretary to Mr.
Endacott when he was City Water
Commissioner. His term expired last
spring.
Police arrested Mrs. Endacott at
the scene of the shooting and are
holding her at police headquarters.
Officers who questioned her said she
told them she had attempted repeat-
edly “to persuade Miss Caudell to
lea\re my husband alone.”
“I had purchased this pistol for
protection against burglars,” Mrs.
Endacott Avas quoted as saying.
“This morning I got to thinking
about it all, and I decided to see her.
I meant to ask her to leave my hus-
band alone.
“I saw her parking her car and I
parked near by. I walked over to-
ward her as she was alighting from
her car. She saAV me and grabbed an
iron bar and I took my pistol and
shot her.”
Mr. Endacott had been living at a
Tulsa hotel for several months. He
visited his home almost daily, usual-
ly taking his three children to school.
County authorities said the filing
of charges against Mrs. Endacott
would be held up pending develop-
ments in Miss Caudcll’s condition.
Shortly after reaching the hos
pital, Miss Caudell made her only
statement.
“It was our trouble—it happened
because of our trouble,” she Avhis-
pered before lapsing into unconsci-
ousness.
Mr. Endacott Avas not found by
newspaper men until late in the day.
“I have nothing to say,” he told
them. “I am not talking now.”
“I’m sorry I shot her,” Mrs. Enda-
cot,t told reporters after she had
been transferred to the county jail.
“I’m g-lad she has a chance to live.”

He was admitted to the bar in

pointed by Governor Hogg as dis-
trict attorney, to Avhich office he Avas

mar and Fannin Counties in the State
Senate for two terms and was the

of Pythias and active in lodge work.
Mr. Sturgeon is survived by his wife
and three sons, Grady Sturgeon,
who is assistant attorney general;
John F. Sturgeon, who is engaged in
the practice of law here, and Aaron
Sturgeon, also engaged in law prac-
tice at Athens. He also leaves two
brothers and one sister, all of Avhom

THE WAY THEY
CARRY ON OVER
AT MARSHALL
(From Marshall News.)
A man AAdiose business calls him
around the passenger depot told me
something he saw the other night
down there, that Avhile he Avas telling’
me I thought it was a rare bit of
scandal. He said: “I was standing on
the east porch of the depot when a
car came up and a man and woman
whom I knoAV got out of the car. I
knew they Avere both married but not
to each other. It was only a few mo-
ments before No. 4 Avas due and this
couple came up the stairs but in-
stead of going in the Avaiting room
they remained outside and in a place
where it Avas pretty dark. As I pass-
ed by them the man had his arm
around her waist as they walked
back and forth out there in the dark.
Pretty soon No. 4 came rolling in
and I still watched the couple. Whe-
ther you believe it or not, I saw
them embrace each other and kissed
each other most fervently. It seems
the woman was leaving on the train,
and even after they got to the steps
of the car she boldly turned around,
kissed the man again, patted him on
the cheek and called him her ‘dear
old darling.’ ” By this time my
friend saAV I was evincing consider-
able interest and he added: “Oh, I
forgot to tell you the man and wo-
man were father and daughter. She
had been home for the holidays and
Avas going back to her husband add
children in Missouri.”

“NOW WE ARE THREE!”
KATHERINE AND BILL—what fun it is to know
them! They seem to get so much out of living- You
met them just a little over a year ago—the week before
they were married. Ten days later it gave you a pleas-
ant glow of anticipation to receive the trim card telling
you when they’d be “at home.”
And today you got another card, headed “Now we
are three!” Bill’s signature comes first, then Kath-
erine’s, and then—the guided, chubby scrawl of the
newcomer, Jeremy.
You happen to know that although he is in line for
an important promotion. Bill’s present salary isn’t
large. Most other young couples would consider them-
selves “up against it” if they had to manage on so little.
Yet Katherine and Bill maintain a standard of living
that is the admiration of all their friends.
You know how they do it, for Katherine has told you.
They budget all expenditures. And when they decide
a purchase is to be made, whether it is a new shade for
the reading lamp, or a suit for Bill, or shoes for Kath-
erine, they study the advertisements until they find just
what they want for the price they can pay. Careful,
budgeted buying of consistently advertised merchan-
dise enables them to get the most out of their dollars.
It’s a wise baby that picks parents like these.
