this amendment in 1863 were
then and since have been
deplored and termed uncon-
stltutional by the executive
and judiciary branches OF
our Government.
Our Supreme Court is
composed of nine men who
are human beings and as
such are not infallible. But
has not an unnecessary
amount Of time already
passed for this gross error

Now is the time for the
control Of education to be
placed either in the hands
OF the Federal Government.

the so-called Fourteenth
Amendment should be con-
sidered as null and void.
This is the honest way to
deal with the problem OF
segregation or indignation in
our Nations schools.

Those who question the
Supreme Courts right to
pass laws that could never
get through our elected
Congress are plain stupid.
What do they want-to re-
turn to the old days when
the Supreme Court. even
though looked upon with re-
spect, and even awe. con-
sldered only the Constitu-
ton and precedence in ar
irving at decisions? Under
those narrowminded men the
law OF the land" was entire
ly different from that passed
by this present court. which
wisely considers politics. psy-
chology, sociology and. most
important OF all, the minor
ity bloc votes IN passing the
laws.
Who would deny TO the
courts and the President the
powers they have assumed

Whenever a Governor.
whatever his motive. orders
the National Guard OF his
State to do one thing. and
the President. using power
delegated TO him by act Of
Congress. federalizes the
same Guard and orders it TO
do the opposite. this curious
situation calls for serious
consideration
The original Constitution
gives Congress the right. TO
provide for calling forth the
militia to execute the laws
Of the Union. suppress in
Surrections and repel IN
vasions." The Constitution
also declares: The President
shall be commander in chief
OF the militia OF the
several States when called
into the actual service Of the
United States.
Article IL OF the Bill Of
Rights actually cancels these
rights given Congress in the
original Constitution and
gives the States exclusive
control Of the organized
militia. II declares "A we'll
regulated militia being nee
esSary to the security OF a
free state. the right OF the
people to keep and bear arms
shall not be infringed
This a EN- d me MT has
always been disregarded. bur
II remains the valid part of
the Constitution on control
OF the militia. II is really
a case Of Federal dictator
ship when the WASHINGTON
government deprives a free
state" Of the necessary Sc
curity' and thus makes the
State a Federal satellite.
The simple remedy is for
the Supreme Court to de
clare such an act unconSti-
tutional.
