CALDWBLL '‘Presbyterian college is no^ launch ing extensively into co-education and is not establishing a separate depart- nient for women, TJie establishment of a sepamte women’s department would naturally involte aome changes in the courses of study. No such radical de parture is contemplated at jthe pr^ht and no such step will be.takto nntil the matter has been submitied to the ’Synods of South Carolina and Georgia for their approval. - - "Last year the college allowed local girls to enroll and 24 were in attend ance during the session 1934-35. The college did not, however, allow any girls outside of Clinton and vicinity this privilege. The only change made in this arrangement (and this change was recently authorised by the board of trustees) is in the acceptance of girl students from a few of the coun ties adjacent to Laurens county and an arrangement whereby a competent matron could take care of the girls in a residence near thejcollege campus. Plans were originally made io use as a girls’ dormitory • the residence for-, merly occupied by President John Mc- Sween, This plan has been changed be cause Mr. Jacobs states that he does not wish any arrangement made which might interfere with the securing of a permanent head for the college at the earliest possible date. '*Such out-of-town girls enrolled (and the indications are that the en rollment win be large) will secure at Presbyterian college a liberal arts edu cation and will follow the same cours es as are offered to boys. Such courses as music, art, home economics, etc., are not contempltaed at all. Presbyte rian college does not expect to be di rectly in competition^with any wom an’s college. This step in the direction of co-edu(^tion is taken merely as a ^convenience to the many Presbyterian girls in this vicinity who find at Pres byterian college the vei^ convenient offer of the type of education they desire.’’ ■ ' ' CONSTITUTION—^plained I hear many people ex nr^sii^ sur prise at the unanimous 4 ici|iibh of the Supreme Court of the "tlbited States, to the effect that congress land the president ctonot do anything they, want to do. I have <been surprised at ihe^nun^ber of my educated and intel ligent friends who seem to have for- gotten^ if they ever knew, that there are very definite limits to the power of the federal government. “This is a deraocrarcy, ifnt it?” said one of them. "Then why can’t the elected representatives of the people carry out the desires of the people?” My friend fell into a fundamental fallacy. The United States of America I is not and never has been a democracy, ft is a federal republic, which is quite a different thing. In a democracy "ev ery citizen has an equal vote. The nearost thing to a democracy that we have in America is the New England town meeting. Under our federal form of govern ment, citizens vote by states, and it is the States and not the mass of voters that are represented in the two houses of congress. The president is elected by states. He may be and sometimes has been elected without a majority of the popular vote. CARD OF THANKS I wish to express to my friends my sincere appreciation of the many ex- pre.ssions of sympathy extended me at the time of the recent death of my sister. J. B. FRONTIS. FEDERATION—Of SUtei What the supreme court reempha sized is the fact that the United States is a federation of independent states, each of them supreme in i^s own gov ernment except where it has surren dered certain powers to the federal government “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states are re served to. the states respectively, or to the people.” That is the way the Constitution reads. What the supreme court pointed out in its decision invalidating the NRA is that no state has delegated to the federal government the right to fiii wages or hours of labor, or otherwise regulate any business which is con ducted entirely within a single state. The whole NRA was built up on the theory that almost any business might possibly affect inter-state commerce. The supreme court said that was an unsound assumption; that before the federal government could interfere with any bumness it must be'able to A --V.- T '■ I ■■ *! I TOOaSPAt.

Not only NRA, but many of the other new bureaus set up in the past two ^rs, contained delegations of the lawmaking power! It has been esti mated tlmt under ea^cutive orders, haviiig the force of law, there were more than 5,(X)0 new ways in which a man could be fined'or sentenced to jaU. __ I - :That does not deny to congress the power to enact regulatory legislation ^r the executive to enforce, but it re affirms the duty of congress to place explicit limits upon the power of the executive. WitlMut such limits it would not be difficult for a president to become a dictator. thi^.willing to sacri!iice"their indi- viduiil rights to even the most benevo lent pf dictators.. M i AMENDMENT—The St^ Any time tte people of the Unitfsd States want to change their form/of government they eair do so in a very simple way. The Constitution itself pro^des. two' alternative ways of amending it. All that is necessair is for cbngiees to enact a joind reaolu- tion, setting forth the proposed chang es, and submit it either to the legis latures df thch different states* or to special epnventions in each state. If three-quarters of the state legislatures or conventions approve the amend ment, then it becomes a part of the Constitution. There isn’t any other way bnt revo lution to change our ’form of ^vem- ment. It can’t be changed by^a vote of the entire people of the United States, because, as I have pointed out, the United States is not a^democraN9..it is a fedmttion of statM, and its federal government’s se4-im can only be changed by the states themselves. , We have done a Ibt of amending of the Cpmititution in t^e 146 years since it wenF into effect, Hut tlM basic prin ciple of a federal union of independent states has i^t yet been tampered with.

Three great nations, Russia, Italy and Ger* many, now* function under socialistic forms of government. The theory uf state socialism is that the citizen’s first allegiance is'to the state. The theory of a republic is that the,state is the servant.and not the master of the people. Human nature b^ing what it is, individuals cannot be uniformly subMrveint to the state unless the state is prepared to use foiyp to compel subservience. ip^tators arise in times of distress because they can muster enough dis contented people behind them to en able them to seize control, and they maintain themselves in power by force and threats of force. Sometimes a dic tatorship works pretty well for a while, but I do not think the people of the Unite<j| States have reached the depth of despair which would‘make Opens July 1st .7 OPEN DAILY EXCEPT -SUNDAY 2P.M.lo7:30RM. i Summer Tickets ......... . $2.00 (July and August) ' ' .
