His appeal to the country in the form of one of his radio "fireside chats" is being widely discussed. Hearings on his pro posal are drawing large crowds to the rooms of the senate Com mittee on the Judiciary. Propon ents and opponents of the meas ure are drawing their lines for battle. In other words, another important chapter In American history is being written, whatever that chapter may finally record. In this connection it is interest ing to read the v oath of members of the Supreme Court, It follows: "I do solemnly swear that I will JR. o. u. A. M. Regular meeting of Elkin Coun cil No. 96 Jr. O. U. A. M. will be held every Friday night, 7:30 p. m. All members are requested to be present. 4-lc Cold Alone 4 Is Not Enough! if" if if" ** Iff] Temperature is only one of the three factors of Refrigerators . necessary for complete food pres ervation. 100% food protection re quires: 1.

CAROLINA Ice & Fuel Co. • Pure Ice Phone 83 Good Coal the poor and the rich; and that I will faithfully discharge all the duties incumbent on me as Judge, according to the best of my abil ities and understanding, agree ably to the Constitution and laws of the United States." Whatever may be the view ! point of any individual with re gard to the present Supreme Court, issue, considerable stress must be laid on the last sentence of the above oath reading "agree ably to the Constitution and laws of the United States." Prom this it would seem that the laws of the United States—and the laws are the acts passed by the Congress and signed by the President have equal standing with the Constitution. The President con tends that they have not been given such standing by the emi nent Supreme Court Justices, *and here is the basis of the current and widely-discussed issue. Let me quote what others have said. The illustrious Abraham Lin coln, declared In his first inaug ural: "The candid citizen must con fess that if the policy of the gov ernment, upon vital quesions af fecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litiga tions between parties -in personal actions the people will have ceas ed to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resign ed their Government into' the hands of that-eminent tribunal." The great Justice Holmes, who ever held aloft the light ,of jus tice for all, said: "It must be remembered that legislators are the ultimate guar dians of the liberties and welfare of the people in quite as great a degree as the courts." Again Justice Holmes said: "The first requirement of a sound body of law is that it should m unity. "The courts were intended to endure for all ages to come and consequently to be adapted to the various crises in human affairs." These quotations from great students of oar government de serve study and thought as our people stand at the crossroads of national affairs. These statements were not mode in the heat of de bate. They .were made by men Who enjoyed national confidence, and by men whose deeds merit that their words be remembered. I cite them now because they are timely. Is the President correct In his contention that the Supreme Court has not given due respects to the legislative will of the peo ple? Are the opponents oi his program correct in their conten tion that the Supreme Court has always been right? Answers to! these questions will be- found when the people on farm and in factory understand clearly the Is sues involved and thunder out their views. They, and they alone, must answer. Their rights must come first. And the effort to put these rights first precipitated the present momentous issue.
