Keep Constitution Maintained
 mFuU Force, Plea Of R. B. EUins

We did not make the constitution | and we have no right to permit it to be impaired. We received it as sacred trust to be transmitted to that remote posterity for whom it was or dained. We have in 1t but a life estate and are bound by every honorable obligation to see that it shall be re- ceived by those coming generations who now stand In the depths of fu ture, not stalled by custom, not withered by age, but fresh in the vigor of immortal youth" R. B. Evins, president of the Alabama Bar | association and chairman of the state democratic committee, told Rotary club members Wednesday in celebra- tion of Constitution Day."
 /"I count it happy privilege" MT | Evins said, that 1 am permitted to address this organization, and there is no subject more appropriate for consideration than which has been as- signed to me for discussion than that of the constitution.
 Tt is appropriate because the policital conditions under which my business is conducted, is or ought to be, the first consideration of the busi- ness man and the political and legal environment created by the constitu- tion of the United States affords freedom of action, an opportunity for development and a security for es- sential rights that never perhaps has been paralleled at any time in the land.
 Defines Constitution.
 What is the constitution and why should 1t be established in the hearts and minds of the people7 It might be defined as the articles of partnership between the sovereign states of the American union, and it might be des- cribed as the fundamental law of this republic, but 1t Is much more than these. The constitution Is that politi- cal and legal force which makes it fact that this is a government of laws and not of men; it Is that which makes it fact of our right to live, our right to go where we will, our right to work without molestation and to have and enjoy the fruits of our work, our right to have opinions and to express them freely, our right to be free from religious op- pression, our right to pursue happi- ness in our own way, limited only by the reciprocal rights of others. are not privileges which we hold by the grace of man, but are rights inherent to ourselves, inalienable and enjoyed in the same degree by all sorts and conditions of men"
 The framers of the constitution were political philosophers of the broadest vision and they created therefore not a monarchy, oligarchy, not a pure democracy, but a republic or a representative form of govern ment, in which though all power re- sided in the people it was not to be exercised by them directly, but through representatives of their periodical choosings to whom not as their rulers, but as the servants of the people the powers of government were committed.

the natural tendencies of official power to grow arrogant and op- presive they divided the government into. three great departments, the judicial, executive and legislative. "The power Of oppression lies manifestly in the right existing In a l single person, body or agency of gov | ernment to make, interpret and execute the laws, and if these three elements of oppression are separated 1 the people are safe unless there should be a conspiracy between the three departments-an unthinkable condition"
 "so long as the constitution is maintained in it's full force and in tegrity the humblest citizen Is se- cure in his essential rights, though all the remainder of the population should seek to take them from him. This is what it means to live under government of law instead of a government of men,
 Courts Power Stressed.
 "Civilization is built on the right of private property on the right of a man to work and acquire prop erty. and to be protected in its own ership. When the right of property is destroyed, civilizatio falls and all that it has brought to elevate and ennoble the life of man falls with it. The constitution is enforced and ap- piled and made potent influence in the lives of the people through the agency of the courts, and it Is in the gro wing disrespect for the courts that one of the chief dangers which threaten the constitutional rights of the citizen lies. When the judiciary becomes dependent upon the popular will, when the most successful dema- gogue instead of some fearless ex- of ha Ia c a1 or O bench the right of the citizen Is se- riously threatened. The courts are instituted for the protection of the weak, for the protection of the mi norities, and when they become through the adoption of any such doctrines the facile instruments of the strong and of the minorities then the whole purpose of their existence l is passed.
 "We must keep the sources of ju- dicial interpretation unfettered by legislative or executive interference. In the power and dignity of the courts rests the future of the repub- lie, and the peace and security of the people. We cannot afford to rely upon any other foundation Or to place elsewhere the pronounc cement of what is or what shall continue to be the supreme law of the land and when we do, we substitute for the certainty and security or govern ment of law, the hazard and uncer- tainty of a government by men,"
 Among other speakers prominent among the Birmingham bar were
 Frank Dominick. president of the Birmingham Bar association; w. H. Terry, E. H. Cabaniss. Marvin Wood all and William Sadler..
 Following MT. Evins' speech the entire assemblage stood and sang | "America," led by John Henley. with Mrs Florence Jordan accompanying.
