WHAT TIN JUDGES SAY IT IS

InOt ClOSSIC pOIOSe OF SOVStuO-
tionol lore never wos more optIy illus
troted than in the unanimous Supreme
Court decision UNFOLDING constitution

The law providing national floor

land by implication of notionoI child
labor Iow), both hos concerned With
production substantially affecting in
terstote commerce, are now ruled con-
stitutionol.
But in 1913 this was not SO. The
written constitution has not literolIy
changed. The times, and the judges,
have changed. And SO the constitution
hos for procticoI purposes changed. be-
cause the judges soy it has. though its
literal wording remains unoltered on
the printed poge.
There is nothing about this to couse
concern. Certainly it wos never intend
ed thot the constitution should enclose
the nation in an iron mold. The reason
for written constitution is to give sto-
bility, to limit powers, and to assure
.thot changes shall not be violent or CO.
PRECIOUS. 1t was never meant to choke
off all change.
Our system Of permitting the Su-
preme Court the finol soy on whether
laws with the constitution is also q pro-
duct Of reason. But here oooin it was
never intended thot decision once
reached by the Supreme Court must
thereafter remain immobile forever and
ever.
The Supreme Court has reversed it.
self. But let's 90 back over the history
Of thot reversal. Nearly Is years oeo,
Coneess posed law prohibiting ship
ment in interstote commerce Of the
products Of child labor. A test cose, the
fomous Hammer VS.. Doeenhort," was
corried up to the Supreme Court. Thot
court decided that the constitutional
power Of Congress to regulate inter-
stote commerce wos not sufficient to
justify the low. But the vigorous dissent
Of Justices Holmes and Brondeis was
backed by large body Of public opin-
lsicn.sN @stsSs
The years poss. In q world that
beers little relation socially to thot Of
1918, q similar fest is made. And now
the court unanimously decides other
wise, and specifically overs that the
1918 decision was unsupported by any
provision Of the constitution" and
Should be and now is overruIed."
Does this mean that the Supreme
Court is itself copricious and Unstable?
Not at all. A greet deal Of voter has
gone over the dam since 1919
troubled and tunuItuous % years. The
court hos simply proved thot it, too. con
move with the times, and read the
handwriting thot iswritten large before
US.
Thot does not mean thot the court
should literally follow the election re-
turns, be responsive to the shifting pIoy
Of short-term political overturns or mo-
nentoy passions. But it does mean.
and the assurance is good, that the
court can reod the constitution in terms
Of the larger sweeps of social move
ment.
Nobody wants the Supreme Court
to bob up and down with the woves. But
it is reossuring to see thot it can ride
with the tides.
This is the fifth year since the outbreak, yet
there Is no sign of q solution.-Japans Premier

Railroad Ready
For Holid az Rush

With half the army fur
Laughed for home visits and the
prospect that general travel will
top any marks of recent years,
the Pennsylvania Railroad is
preparing to handle much the
heaviest year-end holiday move
ment of passengers over its
lines In more than decade.
Through the Washington
gateway alone, more than 100,-
900 soldiers will travel from
southern training camps to
homes in the Middle Atlantic
states and New England, and
the numbers will be swollen at
the New York gateway by men
released from encampments
north of Washington.
In addition, many thousands
Of uniformed men will move
from the South to Midwest
points. through Cincinnati and
Louisville. and from western
camps through Chicago and st.
Louis TO the East. All told, the
soldier movement will require
the operation on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad OF 800 or more
extra trains.
Civilian travel, which has
been increasing swiftly in recent
months, will be powerfully slim
ulated throughout the holiday
period by the great increases
which have taken place in en-
ployment and the larger amount
