Letters to the press reveal the
fact that thoughtful voters are not
unmindful of the effect of the pre
sidential election upon the compv
sitionof the Ui'ited States Court.
This is a subject which does uot at
tract the attention which its im
portance deserves. The next Pr;-
sident wiil be called upon prob ibly
to nominate several justices of that
court. It ia conceivnble tJiat the
voters in November may indirectiy
and unwittingly pave the to a
most profound change in the atti
tude of the court toward the Cons
titution and its guarantees of per
sonal property rights.
A President with fjjljacious and
dangerous ideas might be able to
force the confirmation by the Sen
ate of Supreme justices eiitertaining
such ideas with disastrous ccmse-
quences. In view of the centraliz
ing process, which is bringing every
important activity of the people un
der the jurisdiction of the Federal
government, the Supreme Court be
comes more and more the bulwark
of the public liberties. While il is
composed of justices who interpiet
the Constitution without fear or fa
vor, the people are safe. When
fear or favor sways that court, the
