the cardinal principles of our sree
institutions. They can only survive
in the every day lives and practices
of the people. We must love liberty
as our fathers loved it, and preserve
and cultivate a vivid realization of
what it means. Let us help folm a
public opinion which shall oppose the
growing tendency TO over-legislation
to appealing to Congress for the
regulation of those affairs that prop
erly belong to the domain of the local
self-government of the states. at the
expense of that fine virility and self
reliance which self-government nour-
ishes and develops. Capitalization
of power tends to despotism. Despot-
ism may sometimes achieve desirable
results by the short cuts that char
acterizes its methods; but be assured,
my young friends. that we do not pay
too high a price for our liberties, by
eschewing advantages so attained.
I'VE have at hand a signal illustra-
tion of the practical character OF these
restrains on power that are imbedded
in our Constitution, in a decision Of
the Supreme Court of the United
States handed down on the first of
this month.
About year ago Arizona, the
youngest of the states, passed a law
which practically forbade the employ
ment of aliens in any work where more
than FIVE persons we're employed.
Complaint was made, and the case was
brought to the Supreme Court Of the
United States. That court. in a care
fully prepared opinion, declared the
law of Arizona, thus excluding aliens
from employment, unconstitutional,
because il violated fundamental guar
antics of liberty to all who we're right
fully resident within our borders
The authority TO admit or exclude
aliens is vested solely in the Federal
Government, and the Supreme court
has decided in this luminous opinion
that aliens so admitted cannot be ex-
cluded from the fundamental liberty
of earning a livelihood. and from the
protection of equal laws.
SO we see that, Notwithstanding
the will Of a majority of the people
OF Arizona was expressed by its
legislature, 1t was Intellectual to de-
prive the humblest individual lawfully
within our borders Of the fundamental
and vital liberty to which we have
, alluded.
We cannot safely blend American
political ideals with old world politi-
cal ideals. which have always been the
mortal enemies of civil liberty. Let
US preserve our own heritage. Our
ideal is not the state above the indi-
vidual. or the merger Of the state in
the individual, but rather the free life
OF the individual in free state.
81 pray you, in your own day and
generation. guard this freedom as a
sacred possession. and rejoice in the
belief that the limitations on power
contained in our Constitution are the
very life blood Of our well being, col d.
lectively and individually"

FORMER JUDGE CRAY'S PATRIOTIC
ADDRESS TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

the enduring law Of the land It
is thus that the constitutional edi-
fee Of our government, state and
national, have been builded, and it is
thus, and not otherwise. that the peo-
pie have vindicated popular govern
ment by placing upon their own SOW
ereignty the restraints which Magma
Charta placed upon the sovereignty
of an English king.
BY reason of the constitutional re-
straints on the exercise of arbitrary
power, true American democracy
has developed and grown in strength
and benificence, and become the high
est exemplar of the capacity of a
people for self-government, to which
the world cen turn. It is a democracy
strong by reason of its self-imposed
limitations.
This was the philosophy OF the
fathers, this the practical wisdom that
builded even better than it knew, when,
as faithful representatives OF their
liberty-loving constituents, they in
corporated into the structure of their
democratic governments those saving
limitations and restraints upon the
exercise of the absolute power which
inheres in the sovereignty Of the peo-
/ pie. Those limitations, like the rein
forcing iron in modern concrete struc-
lures, strengthen the constitutional
edihce into which they are incor-
porated' Their spirit has permeated
the constitutions OF the states, as il
haa previously permeated the minds
ana hearts OF the people, and when the
people OF all the states were consider
ing the adoption of the Federal Con
stituton, which had been made the
depository of specific and enumerated
powers for the promotion OF that nor
tion OF the general welfare committed
TO It's keeping, they deliberated long
and doubttully, lest the absolutism of
an arbitrary power had gained a place
b IN the scheme OF government they hac
devised. They created a true democ-
racy, a democracy founded ON re.
straint and not on lawless license
| Il Is the only democracy In recorded
: history that has successfully endured
for so long a period and has so fun,
: vindicated the wisdom and strength
, OF popular government
IF we would maintain our scheme
of government. we must again and
again recur to the principles upon
which II was devised. and consider
the liberties IL was intened TO con.
serve. We all recognize that its per.
manence depends upon the support
OF sound public opinion-not tn,
neeting caprice born Of popular ex.
citement and passion, but the settled
sober public opinion that comes from
the crucible OF popular debate and
/ discussion.
Adhere TO Principles.
This must not be a mere theory
II concerns the genius OF our govern
ment II is of immense practical i'm
portance that we should not forget

from this spirit sprang the American
constitutions. It was the spirit of re-
sistance to arbitrary power and hatred
of tyranny in every form. In our
scheme of government. established
under its influence, there is no place
for despotism OF absolutism in any
form. The law of the land is a check
on arbitrary power, even should its
exercise be attempted by a majority
Of the people themselves. Much more

framed our constitutions, state and

hatefulness of arbitrary power, and
they took care that no place should
