The movement met instant verbal response

AT one time there was law against people

cause a thing hasn't been done is no reason to
say it is impossible"
Josie saw the logic of that. She said So Her
tone softened Jefferson Davis Pope. His arm
frightened about her.
"If this was just another hair tonic" he
asserted, Il wouldn't be interested in it either.
But you see Mr. CLAM approached the - the
idea from new angle Being in the fur busi

in this country. 1t it started as treat

Something about the way young Mr.. Pope

Despite elaborate pains to keep his voice at a
calm level business pitch, a boyish trembling
note crept in, unbidden, almost soprano.
Il have arranged to get the two thousand

Before Josie finally allowed her enthusiasm
for her future husbands aCumen to run away
with her, she interjected short, intensely
practical question.
"Where?" she asked quickly.
The vest thrust forward by Jefferson Davis
Pope's thumbs, swelled upward beyond such
artificial leverage.

Josie wasted no further time. She dragged
the not unwilling young man to the sofa,
thrust him into it's cushioned corner. sat down
beside him and demanded facts.

U.S.. A. AND WHY

| the rights of the common man, to
throw off any control on its ac-
tions, and to multiply taxes. The
delegates decided that the best
way to check this process was to
make each of the three branches
completely independent so that
each would be a check on the other
! two.
This perhaps was why the dele
gates divided the legislative branch,
the Congress, into two houses.
What were the men who wrote
the Constitution like? Is it true
that they were more interested in
property rights than in human
rights?
1t is safe to say that the conven-
ton of $50 years ago was not only
truly representative of all interests
in the colonies, but was one of the
ablest groups of men ever assem-
bled for like purpose in the his
tory of mankind. Their primary
interest was human rights, because
after all, the greatest privileges of
mankind are the human right to
the protection of life, the human
right to religious and political lib
erty, the human right to gain, own,
and hold property.
The Constitution, then, is the
real protection of the common man
against all kinds of oppression?
One Real Protection
Yes, and the Constitution has
only one real protection-the Su-
preme Court.
If the people will not protect the
Courts against enroachment of the
other branches of the government,
are they not preparing the way for
all kinds of oppression for them
selves hereafter?
That is correct. And in closing
this interview, / want to empha-
size the responsibility of every cit
izen to consider this qestion with
calmness and patriotism. For 15o
years our Supreme Court has stood
unique as the great American con-
tribution to the science of govern
ment. The Court has no standing
army, no policeman to enforce its
DEGREES; it cannot appropriate a
dollar; it has not a single personal
reward to offer. Its authority
rests on the respect of the Amerl'
can people and belief in the fair
ness of its DEGREES. Our Supreme
Judges, while human, have been
as free from error and as patrlotlc
in their Judgment as any group OF
men. The present judges have
served with ability and fidelity. NO
patriotic American should KNOW
ingly seek to undermine respect
for our national judiciary.
The Supreme Court is the heart
of the American system of liberty
and justice. Weaken the heart
and complete dissolution is not lar
