LIBERALISM" AND THE
SUPREME COURT

It will be sad if debate over the
proposed reorganization of the jul
dietary descends to level of rabble
rousing. The issue is already being
confused and misrepresented.
Granting that change in the
Supreme Court now would better
serve the public interest, there is
the vital question of precedent. If
we establish that precedent in the
interest of what is termed PRO
gressivism," what is to prevent the
same policy being employed at some
future time to serve "Reactionism?"
It is significant that public men
whose whole lives have been devoted
to the progressive" cause, such as
Senators Borah, Wheeler and Nor
ris, have joined the conservatives"
in speaking strongly against the
proposal.
If a so-called conservative"
court is enlarged by adding So
called liberal judges to override
conservative judges, could not some
dictator of the future enlarge the
court in any way he saw fit with
judges who would supposedly over
rule incumbents on the bench who
might be opposed to his policies af-
fecting civil liberties and property
rights?
The question has been honestly
asked, why the haste about
changing the Supreme Court? If it
is necessary to change it, why not
proceed along lines already provided
in the Constitution for enabling
states to ratify constitutional
amendment that might be desired
after being fully presented to the
people?"
Our constitutional form of gov
eminent provides a system of
checks and balances to prevent too
hasty action in the heat Of political
excitement, just as we are witness
ing in the Supreme Court issue to-
day. This is not partisan issue,
as it affects sound government and
the future rights and liberties of
citizens of all political parties.
If judges past seventy are to be
retired on the theory that their
faculties are impaired, congressman,
senators and public officials having
to do with law-making, administra-
ton Of government, ETC., should be
retired for the same reason. This is
a matter to be considered calmly
after long and full presentation Of
all the facts and should not be de-
cided on snap judgment, merely in
the interest Of any fleeting and
temporary "emergecy."
The people now have chance to
study democracy, self government
and the protection Of personal lib
critics first hand. Theirs is the voice
that should make the final decision.

NEWARK, September 18.-Those
Newark Bears who have been
performing amazing base ball feats
all through the International League
season, still are giving ample cause
Tor owner Jacob Rupert to be happy.
The Bears are winning in the Inter-
national League playoffs just as de-

lar season race by 251a game mar
gin. and their two prize rockies, who
probably will be promoted to the
varsity next season, have shown
they're right in there when the chips
are down.
Newark entered the final round last
night by downing the Syracuse Chiefs
to l for their fourth straight
triumph. And the leading figures In
that victory were Joe tFqash) Gordon
and Charley Keller, the kids who set
the hitting pace during the regular
campaign.
The bears will have to wait a while
now until the Montreal Royals and
Baltimore Orioles finish the other
semi-flnal series, which stands at one
all after Baltimore's 9-6 triumph last
night.

Collins was on hand as the always
dangerous spark that the Cubs have
been missing since he joined the hos

Pending the three-game series with
the Giants, beginning next Tuesday,
and the final week of play, during

most enjoyable Western swing of the
year, scored their fourth victory in

man from the South had trod are
convinced he was born with a four
leaf clover in his glove hand and

proved himself stem winding genius
since he took over from the ailing and
discouraged John McGraw five years

We wouldn't know much

Thursday night.
The Giants were on the Redskins
212-yard line. First down and, of
course, touchdown to CO. The crowd
sat impassively but moved restlessly
when the New Yorks' first line thrust
fell short. When they failed to go
over the second time wasn't there a
craning of necks to the scoreboard
to make sure it was third down COM
ing up. And when they finally failed
altogether and the Redskins took the
ball on downs didn't you hear people
say. "Whatta team we've got? Now
let's get off good punt"
Man-in-t the Streets Team.
THERE is a species of local college
foot ball attache who may sniff
trifle and shake his head obviously
and predict a decline in popularity
for the Redskins. The wish, in this
case, probably is father to the thought
For argument the subtle sniper will
add: Its good to watch once.
But people won't be going back week
after week because the game is too
perfect. Everybody on the field is
great. They don't do anything wrong.
Now college foot ball is more inter-
esting because mistakes are made"
1t strikes US as q weak argument.
All of the pros are good, and they
should be. But there are pros who
only are good, some who are great,
and others who are greater
They probaly come as close to

make mistakes, like their col

may be that their mistakes are

But If that's true, how are you going
to account for this fellow Bill Terry?
You can account, all right, for Joe
Mccarthy, whose Yankees the Giants
likely will meet in the world series.
Joes club has the biggest pocketbook
in the game. 1t buys its Di Maggios.
Terry, though, hasn't spent that kind

due partly to the fact that most of
his controversies are private. He

the rabble. He has quiet, but con-
tented performers on his side. There's
never hint of friction on the Giant
bench. The players. apparently, like
