there are many subjects on which two

stance. that OF the Constitution follow
ing the nag into new territory. This
is matter OF constitutional interpre-
tation. and the justices Of the Supreme
Court itself do not always agree on It.
Only the other day the court decided,
By 4 vote Of i've TO four, that the con-
sttutional guarantee Of the right to
trial by jury does not extend to the
residents Of the Philippines. Those
who believe that the people In the
archipelago ought to be tried by a jury
OF their peers when accused Of viola
ton Of the law may cite the opinion Of
the four dissenting justices In support
Of their views. But they should not
forget that for the present the con-
trary view Of the Ave justices Is the
law. 1t might be well, too, for them
to remember that the nine justices
must still sit on the same bench and
pass upon questions Of law just the
same as II they did not hold radically
different views on many questions.
