AN ODD EDITORIAL

Great movements often have
small beginnings. They start
with an idea. The idea spreads
and we have revolution or a
reformation. Some day you may
be able to look back and remem-
Der that you read the editorial
which gave life to the movement
to abolish the supreme courts.
Here is the article, word for
word, as it appeared in the Lake
Arthur, La, Herald, of the date
of April 9, 1915:
"The vets won their fight in
the supreme court for saloons
in Shreveport. Now will some
bright young lawyer stand UP
and tell us, Why is the supreme
court?' and what authority has
the supreme court to review a
law passed by the representa-
tives of the people. Do we have
government by the people or
government by a supreme
court? If the supreme court has
the authority to say what laws
we shall be governed by, why
is legislature?' Why go to the
expense of a legislature if the
laws must be passed by a SUI
preme court before they can be
enforced? If we are to have an
authority higher than the ex-
pressed will of the people what
is the object in allowing the peo-
pie to express their will? The
supreme court has usurped the
authority it exercises over the
acts of the legislature, and there
is no place for a usurper under
a democratic form Of govern
ment. Let's abolish the supreme
