resentative government, John Stuart
Mil whom he cold.

resentative government, John Stuart
Mill, when he said:
"A people may prefer a free gov
ernment; but If from Incidence, or
carelessness, or cowardice, or want Of
public spirit, they are unequal to the
exertions necessary for preserving it:
If they will not fight for it when di-
rectly attacked; if they can be de-
luded by the aftifices used to cheat
them out of it; II by momentary dis
couragemcnt, or temporary panic or
a fit of enthusiasm for an individual,
they can be induced to lay their lib
critics at the feet of even a great man,
or trust him with powers which enable
him to subvert their institutions-in
all these cases they are more or less
unfit for liberty"
Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg
thought the Civil War was a test Of
whether government Of the people.
by the people, for the people" should
perish from the face of the earth
Just as profoundly are some of us
convinced that no threat to repre-
sentative democracy since the foun-
dation OF the Republic has exceeded
in its evil portents this attempt to
pack the Supreme Court OF the United
States and thus destroy the purity
and independence of this tribunal Of
| last resort.
Evening star., 1937-03-30

or who could feel comfortable in
association with those now constitut-
ing the court. I am but an unlearned
layman, unframed in the ethics Of
the legal profession, nevertheless,
can not escape the conclusion that
any man OF approved sensibility who
should accept such distinction would
experience trouble in OUTLYING the
mistake. Moreover, have distinct
premonition that the people of
America would not confidently trust
to the supreme decision of such
court the life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness guaranteed by the Con-
stitution.
am far from intimating that the
President Of the United States is in
capable Of selecting suitable men for
the Supreme Court. I am simply ac-
cepting his own word and that Of mis-
spokesmen to the effect that he wants
men biased" in behalf of his legisla-
tive and administrative projects, who
may be counted on to reverse the Su-
preme Court decisions already rem
dered and give such other decisions OF
policy as may be desired. This is not
my view alone; 1t Is the conclusion Of
millions Of alarmed citizens through
out the Nation.
Assails Proponents
For Statements.
The assumption Of the proponents
Of this scheme to tamper with the
court and the Constitution that only
they are the Presidents real friends
has no justification in fact. He Is not
a friend of the President who would
subject him to the biting indictment
which Rudyard Kipling applied to a
! famous autocrat who answered a pc
tition from his people with the im-
perious assertion that-"This is my
country. These are my laws. Those
who do not like to obey them can leave
my country" Wrote Kipling:
He shall break his judges if they
cross his word;
He shall rule above the law, calling
on the Lord.
Strangers of his counsel, hirelings
! of his pay,
These shall deal out justice: sell
| deny-delay.
I'VE shall take our station, dirt be-
meath his feet,
While his hired captains jeer us in
the street.
Rather Is he the real friend Of the
President who will command to his
serious attention the ringing words Of
Thomas Jefferson when he proclaimed
himself against writing letters tc
judiciary officers because he thought
them independent Of the Executive
not subject to its coercion and there
fore not obliged 10 attend to its admo-
| nitions"
In conclusion, my friends, let me
press upon you the solemn warning
Of a world-renowned student of rep,
Evening star., 1937-03-30

whenever such thing should occur
"the security provided for the pro-
lection Of the Constitution is gone like
a morning mist" Thomas Jefferson
in a single sentence comprised the
unalterable detestation of honest men
for the packing OF the court when he
said: ''It is better to toss up cross and
pile in a cause than to refer to judge
whose mind Is warped by any motive
whatever in that particular case"
Later he wrote: IAN officer who selects
judges for principles which necessarily
lead to condemnation, might as well
take his culprits to the scaffold with
out the mockery Of trial" This JET
ferson said Of packed juries. How
infinitely worse would be packed
Supreme Court, albeit in one case the
penalty Is Imprisonment and in the
other the universal adherence Of
mankind!
Goes Back to Days
OF Star Chamber"
I have said this proposal to pack
the Supreme Court is without preced-
ence in American Jurisprudence and
and that we must go back for a
corresponding scheme to the infamous
processes Of the British star chamber.
Macauley gives us the incident. When
the King wanted 4 servile court to
sanction his purposes, contrary to
decisions rendered, he summoned the
chief justice to the palace and told
him peremptorily that he would be
dismissed unless he changed his
opinions. "Sire" said the courageous
chief justice, my position Is of little
concern to me, since have not many
years to live; but my convictions are
of vital Importance, and am humili-
ated to find that your majesty could
think me capable Of altering my mind
merely to retain my place" The
chief justice than bravely admonished
his kingly master: Your majesty
may find IL judges Of your mind, but
hardly IL honest lawyers" Needless
to say the chief justice was dismissed,
just as the offending members of the
| Supreme Court have been rudely told
to "begone" If they do not relish the
proposed modification Of being sup
piled with six judicial wet-nurses;
and well might any one or all of
these eminent jurists, in imitation OF
that fearless Englishman, say to the
appointing power: You may find
six judges of your mind, but not six
constitutional lawyers" Should the
iniquitous scheme go through, the
intelligence and character Of the
Nation will be interested to know what
lawyer Of notable attainments or
independent spirit would be willing to
! go on the Supreme Court bench in
such circumstances or could regard
such an appointment as an honor
Doubtless there are practitioners eager
for such recognition; but are they
men whom the Nation would prefer

no administration in the history OF
the republic has attempted to flank
the Constitution by legislative short
cut so vividly denounced by Woodrow
Wilson as IAN outrage upon consti-
tutional morality"
Denies Contribution
To Court Efficiency.
The people were not asked for any
such mandate. They were kept in
ignorance of any such purpose. They
were told that the liberal aims Of the
President could very likely be achieved
within the limitations of the Consti-
tuition; and II not, we would suggest
to the people amendments that would
authorize such certain things to be
done. When once it was intimated by
political adversaries that the Supreme
Court might be tampered with, the
insinuation was branded as sple-
netic libel. No word in the platform Of
the prevailing party could be inter-
preted into advocacy Of any such
abnormity as that now in issue. Quite
the contrary, every platform declara-
ton on the subject gave promise OF
the customary constitutional pro-
cedure But somebody badly advising
the President was evidently afraid OF
the people. The Attorney General
apparently feared to TASK mandate
from the people" for his wretched
scheme, defended so weakly in reason
as to invite expressions of contempt
Convicted by his own official reports
Of inaccurate assertions about con-
gestion of the Supreme Court calendar
and now fatty contradicated on this
and other points by the Chief Justice
and associates, there is nothing left
of his bitter assault on the court more
notable than the brutal contention
that six eminent members get out
and give place to six others of a com.
plant type, in the selection of whom
the Department of Justice would prob.
ably have . cunning hand. OF course

Born on Island
He was born in the sunny city
of Arecibo, Puerto Rico, came
north to receive his education at
Long Island University, and &C.
cepted an appointment as clerk
with the Treasury Loans and Cur
rency Division in 1884, being sta

snapped him the other evening

Since coming with the Govern

entire book of poems from his pen
published, the volume being IN

lation among folk speaking that
tongue. Writing is his chief pas
