“The Constitution Stands Between
Democracy and Socialism”
Comment of Hon. W. H.
Fleming Upon Decision of
Federal Supreme Court in
Minnesota Rate Case.
Much local interest has been created
in the Minnesota rate case in which
the law was declared unconstitutional
and the United States circuit court
was sustained by the United States
supreme court. The case has been
clearly outlined in the telegraphic
news items and it is said that the
North Carolina and Minnesota cases
lire almost identical.
Accordingto legal opinions it is a
question of much uncertainty as to
wether all state rate laws can he
brought under the same 'lassification
or not, and it will depend w-holly upon
facts as to what effect it will have on
the Georgia rate law if it is brought to
a test. The action of the supreme
court was taken upon conflsticatory
grounds and it is tated that it does not
conflict with state rights.
Hon. William H. Fleming, who is
one of the best known constitutional
lawyers in this slate stated this
morning that he was of the opinion
that the court was acting in perfect
good faith. He said:
“In a number of recent decisions it
is cleariy shown that the supreme
court is standing up to the constitu
tion of the United States: and that
constitution stands beween American
democracy and socialism.” Further
than this Mr. Fleming did not care to,
be quoted, but a number of import
ant decisions of the court were re
cited to show that the supreme court,
took the stand for constitutional
rights of stales as w'ell as for federal
authority.
In the ease of the state of Colorado
vs. Kansas concerning water rights
and privileges in which the United
States governmen* sought to become
a party In the case the supreme court
ruled:
"The government of the United ‘
States is one of enumerated powers;
that It has no Inherent powers of
sovereignity; that the enumeration of
the powers granted Is to be found in
the constitution of the United States
and In that alone; that the manifest
purpose of he Tenth Amendment to
the Constitution is to put beyond dis
utqe the proposition that all powers
are not granted the people; that If in
the changes of the years further
powers ought to be possessed by con
gress they must he obtained by a new
grant, from the people.”
This Is regarded as one of the most
significant decisions of the supreme
court in upholding state rights and
consequently explodes the Idea that
the supmere court Is trying to In
fringe on the saute, or allow federal
authority to usurp state authority.
This together with other notable de
cisions has croated tich interest In
the decisions of the highest court in
Ihe land, which up to a few years ago
was uninteresting to all except the
legal fraternity, or those Involved In
the cases to be affected by the de
cision.
Now' however the scope of questions
that the supreme court is called upon
to decide is gradually growing broader
and Is of momenteous Importance to
the people In general and there Is
great Interest shown in. all rulings
of the oourt. The decisions In the
railroad rate cases are probably creat-;
mg more comment than any ever
made by the court with the possible
exception of the civil rights bill which
caused such a commotltlon In the
south during the reconstruction pe

WOODWARD MAY BECOME
ATLANTA’S MAYOR AGAIN
ATLANTA. Ga. —With the announ
cement of Hon. James G. Woodward
for mayor of Atlanta, which was
made in the Atlanta papers Sunday,
the municipal campaign may be said
to have started, for the former mayor
is a campaigner who keeps busy. Des
pite the fact,, as some of the minis
ters and chiilcli people have charged,
that Former Mayor Woodward con
ducted himself in a manner most un
becoming while serving as mayor
(they referred to his moral conduct)
he is a strong factor in politics. He
has done much for the upbuilding
of the city, which stands to his
credit.
Mr. Woodward was twice mayor of
Atlanta and a former aider,nan and a
councilman. He says he is not a pro
hibitionist, but he vvil enforce the law.
He says further that the majority rule
was aimed at him but he is not afraid
to make the race under it. His can
didacy is subject to the municipal
primary which will be fixed by the
city executive committee at some date
in the fall, probably September or
October.

Many Augustans Interested In
Sister Cecilia's Golden Jubilee
Sketch of Career of This
Beloved Religious Woman
Who Has Spent Half a
Century in Doing Good
Works.
Many Augustans are deeply inter
ested in the celebration at St. Vin
cent’s Academy In Savannah tomor
row of the golden Jubilee of Sister Ce
celia, one of the best known mem
bers of the Sisters of Mercy in Geoi
gia and for some years mother su
perior of St. Mary's convent in this
city. During her stay here, as in
deed everywhere her ability, saintli
ness and gentle sweetness won her
many friends. There are many moth
ers of families here today who re
ceived their mental and spiritual
training at the hands of this beloved
woman who has worn the veil of her
order for half a century, a longer pe
riod indeed than falls to the average
human to upend upon the earth.
The following tribute and sketch
of the life of Sister Cecilia was writ
ten for The Herald by Cecilia M. L
Skeffington:
It was in the year 1833, on April
21st, that the child Esther destined
to so many years of noble self-sacri
fice, was born to Henry and Mary
Anne Carroll in the renowned city of
Dublin; and it was in this centre of
culture tha. she was reared an edu
cated and attained her radiant wo
manhood—a womanhood tnat has
made the world better.
After a youth of twenty-three years
spent amid the allurements of the
Irish capital, the beautiful maiden,
Esther Carroll, sought the higher
pathway of the religious life. Sho
left her native city and came to Geor
gia at a time when brave souls were
needed and entered the convent of
Mercy in Savannah on March 8, 1856,
receiving the name “Sister Mary Ce
cilia.’’ -After a novitiate of two
years, during which probation she
was free to have given up the ardu
ous religious life had the sacrifice
seemed too groat or the burden too
heavy,, she made voluntarily the per
petual vows of Poverty, Chastity and
Obedience, thus becoming the bride
of Christ, and entered upon a life of
self-denial than which the world
knows no greater. This ceremony
occurred on the morning of March
25, 1968. Today she wears unsul
lied the habit of the Sister of Mercy
and the silver cirelet, the bond of
this mystical union.
From the date of her religious pro
fession, Sister Cecilia spent seven
teen years teaching in the various
Academies of £he Order of Sister of
Mercy in Georgia, until she was as
signed in 1875 to take charge of the
old IlDited States Marine hospital in
Savannah, located in the Fairlawn
district, where the colored school now
stands, at the corner of Gaston and
East Broad streets. This appointment
was made at the behest of the la
mented George H. Stone, M. D., chief
of staff of that institution, who, real
izing that the hospital was not in pro
per hands and appreciating the dig
nity and devotion of the Sisterhood
of Mercy, called upon the bishop of
the diocese for sisters for the work
of caring for the marine patients. The
management of this hospital continu
ed under Sister Cecilia until Its close
in 1876, at which time the marine:,
were transferred to St. Joseph's hos
pital which was founded by Sister Ce
cilia. The marine ward was main
tainted ig St. Joseph's hospital by the 1
United States government for thirl y
years, uhlil the erection a few years
age of the new marine hospital at
May’sk:.

In 1878 Sister Cecilia was sent as
superior to St. Mary’s Academy in
Augusta, Georgia, where she remain
ed in charge until she was ordered to
Atlanta at the head .of a small band
of devoted sisters to found St. Jos
eph's infirmary there. The infirmary
was opened to patients on April 21,
1880 and the institution has prosper
ed continuously until today it is the
most prominent and best equipped
medical and surgical sanatorium in
many years, having practically a na
tional patronage. Its staff is com
posed of men in the very front of the
medical profession and the graduates
of Its training school for nurses are
in demand throughout the south.
Sister Cecilia was re-called in 1889
to assume charge of St. Joheph’s hos
pital in Savannah.
Volumes might be written of the
good deeds of this noble woman, who
looks upon her long life of mercy as
as but an inadequate offering to the
most high. She is still youtig in her
hope to accomplish greater things and
has told the writer that had she fifty
more years to live, she would give
them again as freely as she gave the
past. '
Tomorrow will be a gladsome day in
old St. Vincent’s. While the religious
services of the day will not be held
publicly and the festive occasion will
be simply a "community day,” the.
various houses of the order being rep
resented by their superiors and and
older members, from the four winds
there will blow upon the scene the
fragrance of loving hearts, hearts
made grateful by. the sweetness of
her charity.
Youth and age will pay homage in
spirit, praying that this friend of
humanity may be spared to her com
munity for many years.
Upon a pinnacle of fifty golden
years liis spouse, Cecilia, in tranuilq
ity awaits the coming of the Heavenly
Bridegroom. To her this simple
tribute.
