Amendment Too Slow
Way 10 Shift Court,
President Writes
1887 Message Changed
Opinions Of Justices,
He Says in Article
by the Associated Press.

By tne Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. IA con-
stitutional amendment to change the
Supreme Court was rejected by
President Roosevelt in 1887 as too
slow a method to meet a national
crisis. the President revealed in an
article in this weeks issue of Col
lier's. The article is the second OF
q series.
The program of the New Deal in
volved the most controversial social
questions in the last rs years OF our
history" he declared. 1T would
only be necessary to prevent ratit1-
cation in IS States in order to block
any proposed amendment to the
Constitution. J.. No! 1t would take
years and years to get constitu-
tional amendment which would meet
our difficulties. Time was too press
ing for that"
The difficulty of framing an
amendment to meet all contingent
cies also contributed to his decision
to seek another way oNhandling the
situation, the Chief Executive added.
Sought Modern Judiciary.
Time and again during the fight
I made 1t clear that my chief con-
cern was with the objective-name-
", modernized judiciary that would
look at modern problems through
modern glasses" he wrote.
Events happened in the midst OF
the fight to becloud the chief issue.
There was, first, the retirement OF
Justice Van Devanter in June, 1887
Some have said it was strategically
timed; but of course that is inca
pable of proof at the present time
There came, then, the death OF Sen
ator Robinson, the Senate Demo-
cratic leader of the members IN
favor of the plan"
The eventual defeat OF his pro-
posal to add a new judge to the
court for each judge who reached
70 was of little importance in COM
parison with "a clear-cut victory

term was over in June Of 1887, 1t
was very clear that the entire ap-
proach of the Court to the many
problems confronting us had COM
pletely changed. The views Of the
liberal minority of 1885 and 1896
were being gradually adopted by
the one or two justices on the other
side necessary to make them the
views of the majority"
Congress Regains Power.
Since the term beginning in Octo-
ber, 1887, the President continued
the Court had given consistent ap-
proval to the policies of Govern
ment action which m0tivated most
of the reform measures OF the
New Deal.
There has been reafflrmation,

objectives of the fight" the Presi-
dent indicated.
"The Court yielded" he said. "the
Court changed. The Court began
to interpret the Constitution in
stead of torturing it. 1t was still
the same Court, with the same JUS
tices. No new appointments had
been made. And yet, beginning
shortly after the message of Feb
ruary 5, 1887, what change!"
The President said he was con-
vinced that such a change would
never have come if he had not
made a direct attack on the
philosophy of the Supreme Court
majority.
THE minority was right in its
criticism of the majority" he de-
clared. by the time the Court

he said, "of the ancient principle
that the power to legislate resides
in the Congress and not in the
Court; and that the Court has no
power or right to impose its own
ideas of legislative policy, or its
own social and economic views, upon
the law
Democracy proved again that it
had within it the power to function
the ability to furnish to its citi-
zens the strength, the courage, the
assistance, the instruments with
which to meet their problems in an
American way, in their continued
effort to preserve and raise their
American standard of living"

 Addresses Nome Mass Meeting

A mass meeting was held last night at the High School Audit orium and attended by over 400 of our people. The meeting was called to order and presided ov- er.5y MT. Mckenzie, our weather expert, who introduced Major Graham, and Warrant Officer Bond, both of the U. s. Army.
 Major Graham has been detail ed by the War Department to assist the Governor of Alaska in the organizing and directing of a Territorial National Guard.
 Major Graham, the principal speaker of the evening gave an enlightening discussion on the formation and duties of a Ma tional Guard unit, and the req sons of forming such a unit here in Nome. He explained many points that were doubtful in the minds of our people. He discus sed the strategic position of Nome and the needs of Nome and what Nome must do to do its share in the defense program.
 Nome and the territory must cooperate in order to have every thing function smoothly. The Territory must provide Armory facilities and supply heat and light, while the Federal govern ment provides all equipment and pays the Guardsmen the regular Army pay for the days they drill and while on their annual en- campment.
 The Armory would provide a large drill hall and other rooms necessary for proper housing of administration of its functional duties. Once located, National Guard unit becomes a living, breathing permanent part of the community.
 "The National Guard is the bas is of our military power because it is the framework on which we expand. It is the duty of every state in the Union and of the 3 territories to contribute it's part to national defense. The Terri tory of Alaska will do that by the proper support of it's National Guard" the Major stated.
 The Major defined the Nation al Guard as being our second line of defense and as necessary as our regular army and related the prominent part the guard units played in the last war, where they won eternal fame and distinguished themselves as being of the best.
 He stated that a soldier, if called into battle, has a chance of survival in direct proportion
