Regardless of what some of the
brain trust may think, the old dem-
ocratic principle of State's rights
isn't out-moded. The United States
suoreme Court has repeatedly up-
held the right* of the States to han-
dle their own affairs without inter-
ference from the Federal govern-
ment. and even some of those In
Washington who would like to give
all powers to federal bureaus have
begun to realize that the principle
of government 1s so dear to those
who were bom in the South.
In the Thomas oil bill pending in
the Senate there is a definite trend
to revise it in the light of the re-
cent decisions of the Supreme Court
to preserve the rights of the States
The new NRA measure also leaves
the powers of the States unimpair-
ed
Governor Allred of Texas, who is
one of the strongest adherent* of
the New Deal made an impassion-
* ed plea for State's right* at the
convention of Young Democrat* of
Texas last week at Amarillo and
voiced his approval of the action
of the Supreme Court In holding
the NRA unconstitutional
Regardless of how an individual
may regard the possible need for
giving the federal government more
power, th* fact remains that thia
government is controlled by a con-
stitution that has been adequate for
more than a century and a half If
it is to be changed, the change must
come in a constitutional manner,
and not by any tacit consent, im-
plied or otherwise

MEXICO, D F . June 18.—(PF
Gen. Plutarco Ellas Calles, "the iron
man of Mexico," flew north into
voluntary political exile today, but
judging from the crowd which
gathered at the airport ad see him
off, he will have plenty of rnnu-
ential friends to aid him when and
if he decides to return.
The former president took a spe-
cially chartered plane for • Tam-
bor. In Sinaloa. He was accompanied
by Dr Ayala Gonzalez. Dr. R.
Blank, four men aides, and a wom-
an secretary. -
"Most of the public regards Calles'
retirement, after eight year* of di-
recting Mexico's destiny as the un-
official "chief of the revolution." as
an admission that he has lost power
but the "desperida" his friends ac-
corded him at his departure Indi-
cated the contrary.
At least ten former cab min-
isters as well as several powerful
army general were among the sev-
era' hundred persons who crowded
around the former president to
shake his hand.
The presence at the "desperida"
of Emllo Porte* Gil, former presi-
dent and now head or the National
Revolutionary party was regarded
as mo* signitcan, became Portes

International Rotary convention at

les culminated in the latter* de-
parture from the capital it was
generally believed that Portes air
was backing the president in his
political controversy with Calles.

Guard O A. Johnson, John Chris-

had returned to the gun cage aft-

Murray had just reported that all
was well when the miners dashed
out of a tunnel and made for the
cage. The gas-masked officers laid
down a heavy gas barrage and the
choking mutineers retreated.

today by Johnson who routed five
convicts as they sought to jam the
air shaft elevator cage with empty
mine cars.
