"There is no reason this morning why the Vagabondial alarm clock should be set at any hour earlier than 9.30 o'clock.

At 10 o'clock in Sever 35, Dr. Baxter will lecture on "Anglo-American Relations, 1853-60." Anglo-American relations, whether they be studied in the popular form of the Page letters or from history textbooks, are interesting for the way they are woven and entwined into the history of the world. Even the study of the comparatively brief span between 1853 and 1860 should prove worthwhile.

At 2 o'clock, Dr. Friedrich will talk on "Judicial Supremacy in Europe." Americans too apt to scorn any system dissimilar to the best American style, give little thought to schemes of judicature so different from their own as those of Europe.

Judicial supremacy is a question which is frequently brought before the people by the decisions of the Supreme Court. Certainly a good case can be made out against that worthy body which is all-powerful in the United States. One instance comes to mind. By one vote the Supreme Court decided against the legality of the Volstead Act. To vest so much power in nine men, or one man even in this case, does not appear to be altogether logical sensible or just.

The Court can over-rule the Senate. Congress, President, and practically any one else. It is supreme.

In England, however, when Parliament proposes a law, the law is a law and remains a law, until Parliament changes it. The Parliament, even if it is controlled by the Prime Minister and his confreres seems more representative than the United States Supreme Court.

At any rate, the lecture on European Judicial Supremacy ought not to prove unworthy of respectful attention.
