Where Does Middle
Ground Lead For
The Nation?
Editor Of The. Herald:

Editor of The. Herald:
We must beware of those who
would persuade us to accept
gradual Indignation of the races
as middle ground in our present
race-school dilemma. AS a little
pregnancy ends up in baby, SO
gradual Indignation would result
in a hybrid population. the loss
of our race and our civilization.
Race amalgamation has been
tried. Deterioration Of the nation
followed. In the time of Columbus
and before, Portugal was at the
forefront Of, the ma I'll onS OF
Europe The Portuguese were
great explorers and a creative
people. Today they are of little
consequence. Large numbers OF
Negro slaves were introduced in
to- Portugal the first being
brought in 1912. In the following
centuries they were absorbed into

Right Of the People -Interposition

IRON THE BEGINNING of history the
theory Of government was based upon
the principle of the survival Of the fittest.
Out of this theory came the tribal chiefs,
and ultimately the theory of the divine
right of kings The king could do no wrong.
For the first time in history, the States
of America, free people, in an atmos-
phere of freedom, attempted to write
constitution which would preserve free
dom and liberty for all men for the limit
less future. Thirteen states, or free polit-
ical subdivisions, banded themselves to-
gether to form general government to
which they designated only such powers
as were necessary to assure protection for
the group and preserve sovereignty for the
individual states and liberty for the people
who composed the population of each.
Prior to 1889 when the present U. 5.
Constitution became effective, the individual
states were virtually supreme They coined
their own money, established their own
army and navy, levied imposts, duties etc.
In effect they were individual countries.
In adopting the Constitution of the
United States. the several states banded to-
gether and gave certain enumerated powers
to the general government. All such pow
ers not delegated were reserved to the
stats
Virginia was the tenth state to ratify
the Constitution. BY so doing, Virginia re-
linauished it's rights in certain designated
fields only. namely, foreign affairs. coming
money, establishment of an Independent
army and navy. ETC., which were set forth
in the Constitution in plain language, after
long consideration and lengthy debate.
For the protection of the states and OF
the people system of delicate checks and
balances were devised between the three
branches of the general government name
ly, the legislative, executive and judicial.
Thus the new government took the torn
of constitutional republic - a union OF
states each maintaining its sovereignty,
electing its own delegates to the congress
of the general government, and IN other
matters retaining all such rights as were
not delegated thereto.
The delicate checks and balances were
soon tested and precedents established by
the United States Supreme Court, which
were to become established policy. The U.
S. Supreme Court grew in prestige, but at
no time has the states admitted the IN
fallability of this court, which is admitted
" the highest constituted tribunal of the
nation.
AS early as 1898 Thomas Jefferson
and James Madison, two eminent Virgin
ians. both trainers of the U. 5. Constltu-
ton, took issue with the Court, and estab-
ished the principle of mterpostion. The

MANY others saw the insecurity OF one
crop system, Captain Johnny as he was
affectionately known, was advocating d.
versification. He practiced Investigation Of
crops at his farm "Moilena" which ac-
counted for his success there. His CHEEKY
smile, optimistic outlook, and genial dis
position frightened the path he has left
for others to follow.

Virginia-Kentucky resolutions IN protest
Of the Alien and Sedition Laws resulted in
the repeal of these laws two years later,
and the federal entertainments of sover-
eighty and individual liberties were sharp
ly curtailed.
Thus was established the principle OF
interposition, which has been used so in
frequently in the history of the nation that
it has almost been lost sight Of. The reason
for its infrequent use has been that the Y
S. Supreme Court has so infrequently ex-
ceeded it's authority as to deliberately ex-
ercise dangerous powers palpably withheld
by the Constitution. If and when sover-
eign state through it's legislature believes
the Supreme Court has usurped the power
and rights of such state, then interposition
of the states sovereignty between the
Court and the people is the proper pro
cedure The state calls upon it's sister states
to decide the dispute thus arisen between a
sovereign state and the Court.
We believe that the Supreme Court has
usurped power reserved by the states in its
decision of May II, 1854, interfering with
the right of the, states to operate public
schools according to the wishes. desires
and laws of the states. Public education
and the operation of public schools are the
definite rights, powers and responsibilities
of the several states. Segregation or inte-
grafton of the races in public schools are
the prerogative of the states, so respon-
sible.
In effect the Constitution has been
amended by judicial decision, circumvent-
ing the orderly process provided in Article
V. The precedent here set would give the
Court unlimited powers, which, taken to
the ultimate conclusion could endanger the
Republic.
TX Therefore, it is the duty of Virginia
and any other state which shares the same
opinion, to interpose the sovereignty OF the
state between the U. S. Supreme Court and
the people. Thus, this dangerous, palpable
assumption of undelegated powers by the
Court NAV be decided by the states of the
Union.
Such powers as are undelegated are re-
served to the states. Therefore, if this pow
er is to be had by the Federal Government
and the Supreme Court it must be now
given by the states, by means of an amend
ment to the Constitution, ratified by three
fourths of the states. Until this is done, the
State of Virginia would not recognize the
decision of May II, 1854 as being valid and
would not abide by it.
This, simply and briefly, is the theory
of interposition. When Virginia passes a
resolution so stating these principles, any
further move will be the responsibility OF
Federal Government, and the sister states.
