I once attended a class, an hour and a half a day, six days a week, for six months and must have read fifty thousand pages of Su preme Court decisions. All that time and effort wasted? There I was trying to learn what Madi-f?ens of our state and nation, son and his co-workers meant; trying to learn the law of the land! Well, I know a short cut today: just let the Court forget or dis regard all the proceedings and de cide at the moment according to • | tion or the statutory enactments. Henry Regnery, v y , .

Regnery, of Chicago, whose memory is enshrined imperishab- ly in my respect and appreciation. The late Mr. Regnery, modest and retiring though he was, was one of America’s great successes. But he did much more than amass a fortune: he used it for the good life. Deeply imbedded in that great document of Thomas Jefferson is the principle of representation, that the law is and shall be that which is made and promulgated by the people, through their rep resentatives. We are gravely concerned by of humanity, as we know so,Well trendjjf ourJ^ederal Supreme from his course in Joanna, a man agement as nearly ideal as one can imagine. Because of my great admiration know just how we derived our government We inherited the British Com mon Law and the Comman Law still is respected, whether it ap plies to National jurisprudence or not Our ancestors drank deep of Anglo-Saxon political philosophy and the outstanding principle of our law is that the consent of the government implies clearly and strictly that the elected represen tatives of the people shall be vest ed with Supreme powers. The court is, primarily, to decide is sues as between litigants at bar, when the case goes before the Su preme Court on Appeal. ' The Constitution so implies by providing that the Congress may prescribe, restrict or regulate the appelate jurisdiction of the Su preme Court. The Congress should do that. Clearly the Supreme Court’s decisions in some recent cases raises the question of arbitrary judicial aggrandizement which is not government by the consent of {he governed. The Congress is confused; the lawyers are baffled; non- Court. The function of the court, .... historically, is to adjudicate caus-|“® C1 tizens, generally, are es and issues according to the! P lussed - . recognized law.

I do not say that men learned in the law, and with judicial exper ience would do better, but it might be worth trying. Success at the bar is no guaran tee of competence on the bench; some able lawyers make poor judges; and some men of judicial thinking, but small practice, may develop into excellent judges. But I don’t think we should choose men of slight knowledge and no practice merely to experiment. J. R. Crawford SURVEYING CLINTON, S. C.

Do you know what makes judg es and lawyers look w’eary and wtfrn? It is their constant study, seeking the law so that citizens may have their causes adjudicat ed according to established prin ciples of the law’. If a judge could decide off hand. according to whims, emo tions, pre-delections, prepossess ions, prejudices, all the judge would need would be a stenogra pher: the judge would make the law as of the moment and wnth unhindered freedom to change the law on every occasion. - That would be very easy for the "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are cre ated equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain un alienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and pursuit of precedents and embark on a course of arbitrary dislocations of our life by interpretations resting upon opinions, whims, predelec tions or fancies and fantasies un related to a proper application, of generally accepted law, based on authoritative precedents. That to secure these rights Governments are instituted among" Men, deriving their just powers,from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes de structive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish' it, and to institute new government, laying its founda tions on such principles, and or ganizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most Ikiely to effect their safety and happi ness . . . When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing observed: let the issue be square ly joined. In the meantime the Congress should clearly define the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. The Constitution does not pre scribe the qualifications for a jus ticeship.

Surely our Massachusetts brethren must feel the same re- Ispect for^he Constitution as we of Virginia and South Carolina have. Why are not Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New’ York aS so licitous for liberty as we are? 1 have before me a notable book: The Sovereign States,” published by Henry Regnery, of Chicago, and sent to me by Mr. Regnery himself. This book might have been written by James Madison or John C. Calhoun. It is a clear statement of the prin ciples of Constitutional govern- | ment as we understand them. Editor Waring of The News and Courier and Editor Wayne Free man of .The .Greenville NewsJ> cmrld Trot-have presented the case | for sound constitutional govern ment more clearly, more concise- | ly, more persuasively, or more conclusively than has James Jack- |son Kilpatrick, a Virginia editor. "Down through the pages of American history the individual States from Massachusetts to Cali ]fornia, from Georgia to Wisconsin, have had to cry. out to protect the constitutional rights of theit peo ple. These rights are seriously threatened today, declares James Jackson Kilpatrick by uncontroll ed federal power bent on strip ping the states — North, South, East and West—of their legiti mate authority. In a vigorous analysis this outstanding editor and writer makes it clear that the preservation of states’ rights is not a regional weapon but the time- honored foundation stone of American freedom. " The Sovereign States’ is no dry, dusty tome, but a warm, hu man document written by an en ergetic newspaperman with a sympathetic understanding otf the American scene, past and present.
