reasons were advanced.
The trade knew that July had

no long interest whatever remain

The SupremeCourt-
Our National Umpire
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
SentineLs of the Republic

Picture a sand-Iot baseball dia-
mond on the outskirts of any
American town.
The home team is at bat-and
going strong! An exciting play
occurs. In an effort to stretch
a three-bagger into a home run,
a player runs wide of the line.
you're out" cries the umpire.
There is a moment of stunned
silence. Then the home-team play
ers break into loud recrimination.
"Throw out the umpire" they
shout.
But the spectators - a typical
American crowd - boo the dis
gruntled players down. Out of
the clamor arises a clear voice.
"The UMPIRE" it announces, "is
here to see that the game is played
according to the rules that have
made it a success. If he didn't
perform that duty, the game
couldn't last. If he interpreted the
rules to meet every players whim,
baseball would no longer be the
orderly American game that we
love. 1t would degenerate into a
disorganized and un-American
free-for-all. So let's keep the UNI
pire and play the game according
to the rules that have demon
strated their value and utility"
Broaden that picture q bit, and
you get a rough analogy to
something that's happening in the
American political scene today.
Certain lawmakers and their fol-
lowers are annoyed because the
Supreme Court has pointed out
that some of their impractical
measures violate the body of rules
under which our government oper-
ates-the United States Constitu-
ton. They fear that still other
measures will suffer the same
fate. So they want to weaken the
authority of the Court as our Off
cial interpreter of the rules.
They are shouting, "Throw out
the umpire!" To-
Will they succeed? That's up
to the people. No change so dras-
tic in effect could be consummated
without the consent of the voters.
Fortunately, q nationwide reac-
ton has shown the popular atti-
tude.
The people are determined to
retain q National Umpire who will
hold lawmakers to the rules which
made us great, successful nation
Offering liberty and opportunity
to all.
