JUDGES DECIDE THE LAW

Senator Styles Bridges, of New Hamp-
shire, wants all future appointees to the
Supreme Court to promise to refrain from
political action and to refuse to lend their
names to various movements of public
character
There is something to the suggestion
of the Senator There was time when it
was the general opinion in the United
States that a man, appointed to the U. S.
Supreme Court, would divorce himself
from future political ambitions and devote
himself to an effort to be utterly impartial
in the consideration of judicial matters.
While it is probably true that a
majority of the members of the Court have
made an earnest effort to attain this ideal,
it cannot be denied that the personal,
political and economic PHILOSOPHERS of the
jurists are reflected in the decisions of the
highest tribunal. This was true in the days
when conservatives wrote majority opin-
ions and it is true today.
While there is specific provision in
law, giving the Supreme Court the right
to set aside an act of Congress as uncon-
stitutional, the power was early assumed
by the Court and has been exercised so
long as to be generally accepted.
The result is that the laws of Con-
gress, just as the laws of various states
when seriously questioned, must pass the
test of the jurists, who very often resort to
the device of declaring laws unconstitu-
tional because they are unreasonable,
arbitrary or capricious.
Obviously, these words mean one
thing to man of one philosophy and an
other to an exponent of different philos-
ophy. Consequently, the validity of a law
depends upon the personal predictions
of majority of the Court passing upon it.

REDUCED TO A MINIMUM

City Judge Enrique Esquinaldo, Jr.,
welded two hammers and hit both nails
on the head when he said that the chief
reasons for juvenile delinquency are bale
full home environment and lack of whole
some recreation.
Improper training in the home was
placed at the head of the list by Judge
Esquinaldo, and nobody can conscien-
tiously question that view. In most cases,
what could be characterized as bad; it is
lax. and, due to that laxity, he told of
cases that had come to his attention of
mothers who were active in trying to stop
Juvenile delinquency, while in their very
homes the children were permitted to do
as they pleased.
Imagine in the old days, he declared,
of girls under Is going out alone at night
and staying out till midnight or later, 60
ing to night clubs, in some instances, with
men of only few hours acquaintance;
imagine boys in their early teens staying
out as long as they pleased at night, and,
on returning home, We're rebuked mildly
or not rebuked at all.
Tell me what his homelife is, and I'll
tell you what kind of boy he is.
That is a true saying, with some ex-
ceptions, of course. We have known of
boys and girls with good home environ
ment who have gone astray, and have
known of boys and girls whose home en-
vironment was poor, and who grew up to
ba uond man and women
But the exceptions make the rule
more glaring. Any day you may hear
remark to the effect that boy is what
he is because he has had no proper home
training
AS to recreation, Judge Esquinaldo
stressed the point that children have ex-
cess energy that must be used up in some
way If they are not provided with whole
some recreation they will resort frequently
to unlawful acts in using up that excess
energy.
Thus, it is commendable that clubs
are being organized among Key West boys
in the Police Athletic League, and that
the Key West Recreation department has
provided a camp for boys in Poinciana.
Give boys mad girls proper home life
and a place to expend their surplus vital
ity, and juvenile delinquency will be re-
duced TO a minimum.
