\4 ■ ~7 Thursday, January 10, 1957 ^THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Seven By SPECTATOR.. . COMMENTS on MEN AND THINGS Government by injunction should not' be tqJerated in Ameri ca except in a few instances. The Tennessee judge who is trying to throw an injunction around a vast area is clearly in error. Inciden tally, sbmeone has inquired whether it is a requisite that a judge should be a lawyef. So far as I know President Eisenhower could appoint to the bench, even the supreme bench, a man of no knowledge of law—and he may have done so, following in the footsteps of Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. The Supreme Court of today does'not command the respect ot lawyers or clients, or people, gen erally. ’ As the Texas Federal Judge said recently, the Supreme Court did not base its anti-segre gation edict on law; it cited a lot of crackpot and addle-pated con clusions of a few muddle-headed theorists as th e authority for its decision, and disregarded all the law of the land, as established more than fifty ye^. It is becoming desirable that we formulate rules for the guid ance and governance of the Fed-' e’ral Supreme Court. The Su preme Court was created by the Constitution, which provides: “Judicial power—tenure—com pensation.—The judicial power of the United States, shall be .vested in- one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Con gress may from time to time or dain and establish. The judges, both of the Supreme Court and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in ot- fieg. (1) Judicial power—to what cases it extends.—The judicial power shall extend to all cases in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the Unit ed States, and treaties made, or which shall be madd, under their authority; to all cases affecting Ambassadors, other public minis ters and Consuls; to all cases of 3 Bring a Friend To Church With You W.* The Bennetts live here. That’s Grandmother Ben- nett’s Bible,on the window sill, and the whole family goes to the church across the snow covered held. John Bennett works in the local bank. Martha, his wife, is president of the PTA, and they have three lovely children. Grandmother Bennett has been living with them for the past couple of years, since she broke her hip. She can’t always get to church in wintertime and that’s why she calls this her window. When she can’t be in church, it helps to be able to see it. , To her, the church steeple represents a great many things, and brings back many memories. Her son was married in that church. Her husband was buried from it. Her grandchildren were christened in it. The Church has helped her to bear grief, in hours of sorrow; and it has seemed to put a benediction upon her happiness, in times of joy. Most important of all, whatever the occasion, whatever the crisis ... the Church has always been there. To Grandmother Bennett, the most comforting thing in the world is knowing that it always will be there. THE CHURCH FOB ALL . . .
