Pass Compromise
Court Bill. he
EBATEon the compromise bill
altering the Supreme Court has
begun, and, we are glad to see, may be limited.
No doubt these next few days we will see many
indictments of President Roosevelt and of the
members opposing the bill. Let us hope that
the debate will prove valuable to both sides and
that each will be sincere in what it says.
Although the compromise bill is somewhat
different from what was originally planned, we
feel that it should be passed. The principle it
embodies is democratic and progressive, for
it will once again place in the people's chosen
representatives the right to make laws. True,
the court cannot initiate legislation nor pass it,
but many of its decisions, those for the bill
and those against it will admit, have in reality
made law. Perhaps the most notorious of many
examples is the famous "rule of reason" the court
imposed on our early anti-trust laws just after
the turn of the century.
It has long been a favorite American principle
that we should have a government of laws and
not of men. Those in favor of keeping the court
as is have quoted this innumerable times. But,
we have had a court, composed of nine men
whose appointment is removed from the people
and in which they have no direct voice, decide
what our laws are. Sometimes one man has
decided what kind of taxes we have, whether
our government, be it -state or national, can
regulate minimum wages and whether our rep-
resentatives have passed wise legislation. At one
time, in regard to minimum wages, we had a,
"no-man's" land created, but in the past year,
many have aptly termed that "Roberts' Land."
We can regulate minimum wages because one
man changed his mind.
A change in the court would hardly be justified
if it decided purely on the basis of principles
of law. But principles of common law of- Consti-
tutional precedent do not very often clearly de-
cide whether a law is within the Constitution.
On most cases the court has two opinions sub-
mitted, a dissenting opinion and a majority opin-
ion.' Great lawyers arrive at different conclu-
sions by processes which are usually equally
logical. Mere numbers decide the constitution-
ality of a law.
What causes these different opinions to be
written? The difference in political philosophy of
the judges writing the opinions. This philosophy
is molded of course by their social position,
where they have practiced law and by their edu-
cation. If this philosophy of the majority should
differ from that of the people, as it apparently
has in the past few years (using our only bar-
ometer, the election returns), the court majority
Went merrily on its way.
In short, the sovereignty of the United States
has ultimately rested in a majority of the Su-
preme Court and not in the people as a body.
This can hardly be in accordance with the
philosophies of the distrustful framers of the
U.S. Constitution, for they feared any powerful
authority far removed from the people.
Therefore, we feel that the Supreme Court
should be changed. If we have any kind of
democracy in America, ou. government should
be responsible to the will of the people. The
court, with the exception of the past few months
when it showed that its decisions could lie af-
fected by a change in times, should be made
to adopt a new philosophy to deal with the social
and political problems confronting us. Appar-.
ently, because no one has offered any better, the
only method of changing the court, is to alter
the character of its make-up.
Education School
In Sumner .*0*
SPECIAL GRADUATE COURSES,
bithe 12th annual meeting of the
League College and several summer education
conferences sponsored by the School of Educa-
tion are affording high and elementary school
teachers from all parts of the United States op-
portunities to improve their knowledge of teach-
ing and their ability to deal with students they
will have during the winter.
For example, the series of lectures being given
at 4 p.m. each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday in the auditorium of the University
High School. These lectures, presented by men
prominent in the field of education, discuss some
of the greatest problems confronting the teacher.
The League College is a two-week conference
held each summer in a great university near the
convention city of the annual meeting of the
National Education Association. The College
offers a course entitled "Current Studies of
Selected Problems of Professional Organizations,"
besides other features too numerous to mention.
The course includes four major topics: "Tax-
ation and School Support," "New Demands on
the School," "Teacher Welfare," and "The
Teaching Profession and Selected Economic De-
velopments." These subjects are vital to every
public school teacher and discussions are led by
prominent educators including Dean James B.
Edmonson of the education school and Dr. H.
C. Hutchins of the Educational Policies Com-
mission.
Numerous other short courses are being of-
fered by the School of Education this summer,
including the one now offered for principals of
elementary schools.
Dean Edmonson, Dr. Calvin O. Davis and
others of the staff of the education school are
to be complimented for the excellent opportuni-
ties they are providing this summer for teachers
and students in education.
As Others See it_
Aftermath Of The Fourth
(From St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
POST-FOURTH STATISTICS in former years
showed fireworks fatalities over the country
running into dozens and scores; sometimes into
the hundreds. This year, the annual check-up
by the Associated Press, listed only three deaths,
all of children, directly attributable to fireworks
on the two-day holiday. This does not include
the five persons killed several days before the
Fourth by explosion of a fireworks display in a
drug store at Nampa, Idaho.
A total of only eight deaths for the holiday
period indicates that the Safe and Sane Fourth
movement, launched about 30 years ago, has had
a high degree of success. These are still, how-
ever, too many fatal accidents, since every one
of them was needless and could have been pre-
vented with moderate caution. The figures do
not include the immense amount of suffering
from fireworks injuries: the mutilations, the
blinded children, the hundreds and thousands of
burns, minor and severe. The safety campaign-
ers' work must go relentlessly on.
With fireworks accidents relatively in the back-
ground, the major causes of Independence day
tragedy are shown by incomplete figures for
the country: 310 deaths in automobile accidents,
142 by drowning and 107 by other violent causes.
The annual death roll is a saddening commen-
tary on how patriotism and holiday spirit cause
so many citizens to throw caution to the winds.
Making A Martyr
Adolf Hitler at last has laid hands on the stal-
wart leader of confessional Protestantism in Ger-
many. Martin Niemoeller long remained virtual-
ly immune while other German pastors of the
same faith were being seized and thrown into
prison. That was not because Niemoeller was
less outspoken than the others-quite the con-
trary. It was probably because he had been a
submarine commander in the world war. The
halo of national heroism reinforced the halo of
courageous piety. He was good material out of
which to make a martyr, but the'making of mar-
tyrs is a risky business.
Reichsfuehrer Hitler, however, could not af-
ford to let the country think that he was afraid
to lay hands on Neimoeller. If the intransigent
preacher would not subside it was inevitable that
he should be suppressed. Dictators cannot tol-
erate defiance. Doubtless Goebbels and other
hotheads of the reich have urged the fuehrer to
take the long-delayed steps. In a totalitarian
state they may not be rival spiritual heads. The
emotional dynamite of religious faith must be
under control. Religious freedom must be strict-
ly confined within the same limitations which
the state has set around all other thinking and
feeling.
Into his own keeping, therefore, Hitler has tak-
en the dynamite of the confessional creed. He
may well find it more dangerous to handle than
the explosives of art and music, literature and
science which the Nazi chamber of kultur has
undertaken to tame. Putting under restraint a
pious expert in torpedoing suggests exciting pos-
sibilities.

Lazy days, lazy weather, lazy people. Well why
not?
Curry Sanders is one of the test pilots for
Lockheed Aircraft Corp. in Burbank, Calif.,
and personally assisted in testing Amelia's plane
before it was turned over to her. E. C. McLeod
worked with Sanders on this job, it being a ten
passenger, $80,000 model. Sanders also just com-
pleted the testing of the new Continental Air-
line planes, said to be the fastest commercial
planes in the world, having a cruising speed of
213 miles per hour. We were rather curious as
to just what made a pilot take up flying, so we
asked Pilot and Navigator Sanders why it was
that he had started flying.
It seems that about the time the war broke
out Sanders was in Georgia Tech. and as every-
one was more or less interested in the war, San-
ders having the same interests as the nation
in general, decided to join the army. He did so
and as he was already somewhat interested
in flying, having built a plane in 1914, he entered
the air service. He of course had the necessary
engineering background and having also some
experience on a plane was soon made an instruc-
tor, which status he more or less maintained
throughout the war, much to his regret never
getting past Hoboken.
After the war Pilot Sanders spent some time
barnstorming the country with his own plane.
(Which history of barnstorming will be about as
interesting a bit of history of the U. S. as will
ever be written.) Later he drifted into private
commercial and transport work. (Was in Ann
Arbor last year with one of the finest private
planes ever built).
He is now, however, devoting all of his time
to testing for Lockheed, which is in itself a
dangerous even though thrilling job. Lockheed
has just sent planes to several European coun-
tries all of which have to be given a tri-fold test-
ing called production tests.
These production tests consist of: 1. Instru-
ment tests with a pre-lim air speed test and
landing flap test. 2. Landing gear test, calibrat-
ing and setting limits on the retractable landing
gear machinery. 3. Rated power climb to crit-
ical altitude and high speed instrument check.
Also stalls are checked with landing gear in
and out, with wing flaps in and out, and with
both landing gear and wing flaps out. This is
probably the most rigid production test given any
commercial plane today. On top of this one
plane in each group must be given an exhaustive
testing which includes stress and loading (static)
tests with rigid speed and maneuverability
checks.
Pilot Sanders thinks the sport of gliding is a
fine one and one in which he frequently partici-
pates. He finds that real soaring takes plenty of
skill, nerve and thorough studying.
He gives the palm to University of Michigan
though in the field of Aero-dynamics, saying that
C. L. Johnson, graduate of Michigan and chief
aero-dynamist for Lockheed, is one of the finest
in the world. Johnson is a splendid pilot as well
as an excellent engineer, and accompanies test
pilots on initial engineering flight tests.

Have you enough light for easy and comfortable seeing,

shows you just how much light you are getting, and whether
that amount is sufficient.
To prevent eyestrain, you need the correct amount of

you do so in plenty of well-shaded light. This will prevent

Don't guess in so important a matter as your eyesight.
Consult an eyesight specialist regularly. And to be sure
