Throughout ► our history every president [ of the United States has ► been widely and bitte. [ criticized whenever his ci- ► ficial judgment appeared \ to be bad. Congress func- ► tions under a sustained 1 barrage of criticism from the press, the pulpit, and the general public. : The same is true of those who manage all branches of our state and local governments. But for some reason, all judgments of the United States Supreme Court are now quite generally re garded as sacred, even when these judgments re quire radical, unpopular departures from our his toric and accepted way of life. The current impression that a Supreme Court decision proclaims the law of the land for the entire country is a popular delusion. In legal theory, a court decision settles merely the particular problems of the parties before the court. No single Supreme Court decision is or can become “the low of the land.” The basic law of the land is the Cons titution itself. When Congress passes a law pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution, that statute likewise be comes the law of the land. Laws passed by Congress look to future events, while a Supreme Court judgment always looks backward and considers specific acts already performed by the parties to the litigation. It is not the function of the Court nor is it within the Court’s constitutional power, tor declare policies for future action. Nevertheless, for more than ten years our Supreme Court has been making such declarations. To this extent it has been flagrantly and unconstitutionally misappropria ting the legislative functions of Congress and of state leg islatures. It has been delegating the enforcement of this judicial legislation to subordinate Federal courts with authority to rule by decree over designated subjects. In the process, the court has usurped the constitutional function of Congress and all but paralyzed the legislative power of the several states. In this ten-year period, the Supreme Court has re written Federal laws, made new Federal regulations, and wiped out important segments of the States' law-making power altogether. The consequences of this seizure of unconstitutional power are serious because it is the Supreme Court itself which is in violation of the law, and there is no higher tribunal to which its unconstitutional usurpations of power may be appealed and nullified. The only remedy is for Congress to STRIP THIS ARRO GANT, INCOMPETENT SUPREME COURT of its appel late jurisdiction—of its power to hear cases appealed to it from lower courts. This Congress has the express constitu tional power to do and the present DANGEROUS DIRECT ION of the Supreme Court makes it a SWORN DUTY of Congress to exercise that power NOW! The disobedience in the garden of Eden shortly after the creation of all things was the first rebel lion against authority. Since that time man has consistently been a rebel. We have never been given the right to do as we choose, but we are always on the alert as to how we might break a law and get away with it. This is in our minds unconsciously whenever we refuse to come tc a halt at a “STOP” sign. We resent being told what to do. This rebellion is a part of the thinking of the peison who deliberately commits adultry with another’s mate. He despises a God that w r ould dare tell him that he should not do this. This* rebellion is found even in the pleasures of life. The golfer will throw his ball out of the j rough without penalizing himself j because he feels that he is bigger than the rules- A football player will hit his opponent with his fist while in a pile-up simply be cause he wants the freedom to do so. Church members deliberately stay away from church because they are resentful of the com mandment that says, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” The right to do as we choose is not the freedom for which we are crying so much today. True free- I dom is to know that we are free as long as we live by the rules; f but that we will be punished when we rebel against those rules. Free- | dom is the right to do “right i things” without fear, but to ex- PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL Willie P.

O Lord, correct me, but with judg ment: not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.” Are you listening? Looking A. head ...by Dr. G«org« S. Benson PRESIDENT—NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Soarcy, Arkema* The High Court Rides Again No one denies that the U. S. Supreme Court is rapidly finding it way into the social, political, and ec onomical affairs of Ameri- •an citizens in a manner that has increasing impact. This apparent intention to reach decisions in touchy, controver sial areas in a “creative” manner rather than necessarily constitutionally should eventually bring limitations upon the •court in order to keep the Court itself from functioning in an unconstitutional way. ' UNQUESTIONABLY, this new era of bold initia tive on the part of the Court has arrived partly be cause of failure by the states (and people and organ izations within them) to accept responsibility. At least, some feel that Supreme Court interest in civil rights problems came because the states and local communities had not made the progress that might have been expected. Likewise, in the legislative ap- T portionment decision, this was an area in which the states were doing very little to correct abuses. Dangers To Face “One man, one vote” may sound like a good, basic princi ple of democratic government. Inequities in representation have needed correction, to be sure. But government by the people will not be achieved merely because everybody has equal representation. A new absoluteism could allow new power alignments to develop in the nation's urban centers to a degree that will make our states more subservient to the federal government than ever before. If this happens, the individual American will be worse off than he was. The American system has somehow diffused its power in attaining protection for both majority and minority, and has provided for most of the necessary adjustments between the diverse elements and interests in the society. But there may be dangers ahead. If we have at times had to fear the tyranny of the few, we should be aware that tyranny of the mass might be even worse. What new boss-systems in city- states, for example, have we in our future? Will we elect U. S. Senators by cities? Will urban power produce a height ened federal centralization? Freedom To Manage Government partiality to labor organizations has already become characteristic of the new political alignments. Congress, federal boards, the presi dent, and the federal courts have all become eager to err on the side of labor. If the Supreme Court continues to follow the present trend, decisions thru the next few years may seem to strengthen the mass. But they will surely weaken the liberties and freedoms of individuals and institutions. This fall the Court will hear a case in which a California company may be told whether or not it has free dom to manage its own affairs. Up through National Labor Relations Board and U. S. , Court of Appeals rulings favoring the United Steelworkers, the Fibreboard Corp. has been told that it cannot make de cisions about its business that may result in loss of jobs. This is based in federal law that requires bargaining “with respect to wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.” In brief, the company had decided after studying maintenance costs that it would contract the work out to another firm at an annual saving of $225,000. The move cost 75 employees their jobs and the company a charge of unfair labor practices. Mythology of Change If the Supreme Court should find for the union, then a great many business decisions that companies make will have to be processed through bargaining with their unions. In that case, the company points out, “the pace at which an employer does business, or goes out of business, will be limited to the pace set in bargaining by the union or unions with which he deals.” The fact that this decision has to be made by the high court suggests a woeful misunderstanding of the American pattern of individual responsibility and freedom of decision. Implicit in many of the court’s recent majority decisions is the view that the nation is not moving fast enough in accepting and implementing changes. In this the Court be comes not only a harbinger of change, but arbiter and inno vator as well. Public dissatisfaction with the Court may one day reach the point of Constitutional change, to prevent decisions proscribing or replacing legislation. When the Court becomes political (or devoted to special interests or ideologies), then the whole judiciary falls to a very low ebb. WE NEED STRICT OBSERVANCE of the Constitution— not mystical obeisence to the “change” mythology. PROPERTY TRANSFERS Newberry No. 1 O. F. Armfield and W. F. Wells to Roberta S.

All farmers are urged to check their pastui^. hay and forage crops for Army worms. There are two kinds of these little monsters. One is the Fall army worm, which is about 1 1-2 inches in length but can more eas ily be identified by the inverted ^ on their head. The fall army worm is known mainly as an en emy of growing corn, but it feeds on many other cultivated crops and wild plants as well. The eggs are laid at night on grass or other plants and hatch out in about five days. The young larvae feed first near the ground; becomes full grown in 20 days. After the moths emerge they often fly many miles before the female lays eggs. The true Army worm is just a little longer about two inches in length and not quite as big around with pronounced pinacles or hair like projections on its back. The fall army worm and true army worm may be controlled on grasses with either Sevin spray containing 1-1 1- pounds active material per acre or dusted at the same rate of 1-1 1-2 pounds active material per acre. The insecticide may be applied up to the day of harvest for grazed pastures. But noting a tol erance of 100 parts per million has been established on grass and grass hay. For corn that will be used for silage, two pounds active Sevin dust of wettable powder per acre. Do not cut or harvest for feed until seven days after applica tion. These invaders—army worms— have been reported in widely scat tered sections of the county, so look out—you may have them in your fields. Cotton For the past month the weather has been most ideal for a build up of cotton insects. In some fields counts as high as 46 per cent have been made. Cotton in some fields is very rank; however, most cot- is young for this time of year and insecticides should be continued to be applied until insects are under control and the last bolls you ex pect to harvest are hard. If high hay sprayers and high mounted dusters can not get in the field, farmers may consider the feasibility of having the crops dusted by airplane. If this is true in your case, get in touch with the fellows at the Newberry airport. Boll worm can be controlled with DDT or SEVIN.
