“HITS AMENDMIENTS 10 CONSTITUTION Justice Van Orsdel, in Radio Address, Makes Appeal for Fewer Changes. A plea for the preservatign of the Constitution of the United States by greater reluctance to adopt amendments to that instrument, was voiced by Justice Josiah A. Van Orsdel of the Court of Appeals in a radio speech last night over station WJSV. Speaking as president general of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, the organization whose members largely are the sponsors of a series of radio speeches, Justice Van Orsdel declared that every amend- ment to the Constitution was an alter- ation of the American system of Gov- ernment. Continuing, Justice Van Orsdel said & natural question is “how can we progress with the times and adhere to the conditions of a century and a half ago?” The answer, he said, is “that the scheme of Government devised in the original draft of the Constitution of the United States and the bill of rights, is broad enough to meet every | memcy which will arise in carrying ! out functions of the Federal Gov- ernment as originally created, for a century to come.” Urges Law Obedience. Citing the amendments, Justice Van Orsdel said “in all probability they have come to stay, and it is the duty of every citizen to uphold and defend the Con- stitution and by-laws of his country. No matter what his opinion may be as to the wisdom or policy of a given law, it is his duty, so long as it remains the law of the land, to obey it. While it is the prerogative of the citizen to work and strive earnestly for the repeal of ‘what he believes to be a bad law, no person has a right to violate the law. So lang as it is the law, right or wrong, it should be obeyed, and its obedience should be strictly enforced.” The next address of the series which Justice Van Orsdel launched will be delivered over station WJSV at 8 p.m. January 8.
