Need to Resist Centralizing Usurpation

We should recollect that the instrument Cthe
Constitution provides within itself the mode of
its amendment, and that there is, therefore, no
excuse for the assumption of doubtful powers by
the General Government. If those which are clear
" granted shall be found incompetent to the ends
of is creation, it can at any time apply for their
enlargement; and there is no probability that such
an application, if founded on the public interest,
willieyer be refused.
IL The propriety of the proposed grant be not
sufficiently apparent to command the assent of
throefourthS of the States, the best possible reason
why she power should not be assumed on doubtful
authority is afforded; for if more than one-fourth
of DE States are unwilling to make the grant its
exercise will be productive of diScontents which
viii far overbalanee any advantages that could be
derived from it. All must admit that there is moth
ing so worthy of constant solictude of this Gov
ernpent as the harmony and union of the people
We should bear constantly in mind the fact that
the considerations which induced trainers of the
Constitution to withhold from the General Govern
meR the power to regulate the great masses of the
business and concerns of the people have been fully
justied by experience, and that it can not now be
doubted that the genius of all our institutions pre-
scrRes simplicity and economy as the characters
ties of the reform which is yet to be effected in the
present and the future execution of the functions
bestowed upon us by the Constitution.
Limited to n general experimenting power to
maintain peace at home and abroad, and to pre-
scribe laws on few subjects of general interest
not calculated to restrict human liberty but to en-
force human rights, this Government will find its
strength and its glory in the faithful discharge of
these plain and simple duties

AGAINST PLAN

Horace l.. Bomar, attorney and Woford college
alumnus, in opposing the proposed changes listed
his views in the following statement:
$50 far as additional courts in South Carolina
are concerned or additional judges, there is no
such need. We have district judges well qualified
for the duties of their office who handle the busi-
ness of the courts with dispatch. The supreme
court of the United States is well up with its work.
There is no evidence of senility. The trouble is
the other way. Every one of the nine judges is
possessed of an unusually discriminating vigorous
mind Their opinions attest this fact beyond dis
pute.
1.-The question is whether having lost the case
before the court it is proper for ligant to bring
pressure and have the decision altered to suit his
views. If it were case with General Motors, say.
on one side and an individual citizen on the other,
and the individual citizen had won his case, would
any right thinking man uphold General Motors if
it should bring pressure to bear the court, have
the Judge removed and another judge sworn in
and the case reversed. If it would not be right for
corporation like General Motors to do such q
thing, how can anybody justify our government, as
q litigant, in it's attempt to do the same thing

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
PACKING THE COURT

We can't agree with President Roosevelts plan
for recognizing the United States supreme eour'
and see by the papers that we are not alone IN
this view Newspaper polls taken over the nation
show that a two-to-one majority of citizens eX-
pressing themselves, have the same opinion.
Mr. Roosevelt is a smart man and has accom-
plished many worthwhile things. In fact ne mas
maintained that recovery has come, hence we can
not understand why he would seek to change 'he
personnel of the court, except to press through
Congress other New Deal legislation which he feels
would not bear the scrutiny of the high court as
now composed.
A great many people in love with Mr.. Roosevelt
and having implicit confidence in his Judgment,
seem willing for anything. But tamperlng with the
United States Supreme Court is a serious matter
involving the very principles of our government
Daniel Webster once said:
..It is hardly too strong to say that the Consti-
tution was made to guard people against the dan
gers of good intentions real or pretended
There are men in all ages who mean to exercise
power usefully-but who mean to exercise 1t. Ihey
mean to govern well, but they mean to govern
They promise to be kind masters but they mean to
be masters
In more recent years Justice Brandeis, the
courts most famed contemporary LIBERAL put 1t
this way: Experience should teach us TO DC most
on guard to protect liberty when purposes of gov
ernment are benefcent. Men born to freedom are
naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by
evil-mnded persons The greatest dangers to lib
erty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of
zeal. well meaning, but without understanding"
The court stands supreme to interpret the great
document If it is packed with men to do the bid
ding of congress or the present OF future presi-
dents personal liberties will be denied people until
they cry again for freedom.-Shelby Star.

THE OLD FOOL

Well, then. what about her gen.

Were other persons regarding her
as an old fool?
After . period of pitilcss self

the conclusion that it was nothing
she had done in particular that
had caused the boys mother to
catalogue her so uncomplimcn-
tarily, but things she had done in
general which had built up a gen
eral opinion; and that accounted
for the lack Of feeling, on the part
of the mother when she had used
the disquicting phrase.
"The trouble with me-" decided
the woman. "is that | have taken
too much for granted. | have not
placed sufficient check on myself.

SO the woman said nothing to
anybody about what she had over
heard, she went to the weekend
party as if nothing had happened,
and had a good time. Those were
