...proceeded on assumptions entirely foreign to the present controversy." The Anti-Saloon League, on the other hand, insisted that Mr. Root had used the loth Amendment just as it was used by the Sprague defense, and that the Supreme Court, upholding the 18th Amendment against Mr. Root's attack, had quashed this line of argument. The case chiefly relied on by the Government to overturn the Clark ruling was one from Ohio involving a referendum on a constitutional amendment. Said the Supreme Court: "The method of ratification is left to the choice of Congress. Both methods of ratification...
...mighty fingers, to crack nuts in his hairy fist Nuncio Ratti could not duplicate those feats. His hands were, and are, a scholar's soft ones. ' Joint diversion of the Marshal and the Nuncio was chess, at which both are adept. The bold Pole favored vigorous attack. The astute Italian shifted his play between defense and attack. The Marshal won sufficiently often not to resent his opponent's superior intellect. Pope Pius XI has all the distinctive attributes of mind-scholarliness, intellectuality, intelligence.

Chief target of attack by insurgent Senators on the old Power Commission has been Frank C. Bonner, its executive secretary. He was accused of "inefficiency," of favoring license-seeking private power companies. Last week Montana's Senator Wheeler unsuccessfully tried...
...benefit of the unemployed, 70,000 people, including Secretary of the Navy Adams and Secretary of War Hurley paid $600,000 to see West Point play Annapolis on a sunny afternoon in Manhattan, first Army-Navy game since 1927. Army's attack functioned smartly and the Navy backs could not move far when they had the ball, which was not often. But Navy's Captain Blimp Bowstrom was punting perfectly and the big Navy line always held when it had to. For three periods both teams played hard, tense, defensive football. Then came a play on which Navy...
