DANGERS TO LIBERTY “Experience should teach us to be mest on guard to protect liberty when pur- poses of government are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to re- pel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded persons. The greatest dangers to liberty turk in insidious encroachment by men of weal, well-meaning, but without under- standing.” 4 ASSOCIATE JUSTICE BRANDEIS. The Casa Marina will be clased on April 1.

Following that surge of emotion easily sweep over its broad acres there would be clamors for action, which as he says “would be either beneficial or detrimental to the world.” This is the reason why we attempt | from time to time to call the attention of our readers to some of thesperplexing sit- uations existing in world politics. There are many newspaper editors who believe that their readers do not care for what is called “foreign affairs’ and while this may be true, we believe that there are many. intelligent readers of The Citizen ‘who Will try to be honest and just when ‘spoke the truth. This country is Its international matters are considered, and |’ desire information about them. One of the surest sources of peace in the future is a better understanding among the people of one nation of the problems and worries of their brothers in other na- tions. In this country, where newspapers are everywhere read, we believe it is the duty of all editors to do what they can, in an honest way, to present such facts as might tend to prevent our people from be- ing suddenly overwhelmed by unexpected occurrences, and thus led to precipitate and ill-advised action. HISTORY, THE REPEATER More than 130 years ago, the Supreme Court of the United States was subjected to a wave of criticism. Its chief critic was none other than the third President of the then very young nation—Thomas Jeffer- son. ing that situation. Jefferson was an ardent ‘states’ rights” man. He opposed extension of federal powers, and followed into the Adams, both bf whom favored a strong central government. Toward the close of his term, Adams succeeded in putting through legislation which strengthened the young and weak federal government. office. He hoped that with his election, the Supreme Court would declare uncon- stitutional these acts which he did not like. Instead, the Court followed the Con- stitution and repeatedly ruled contrary to Jefferson’s wishes, Whereupon Jefferson inaugurated a campaign of criticism—because the court would not hold laws unconstitutional. Jef- ferson’s efforts were unsuccessful. Several other times has criticism cen- istration of General Ulysses S. Grant, an attempt was made to “pack” the Court by increasing its size. But the new members voted with the previous majority and Grant's efforts failed. Never has the nation let anyone ham- string the Court for any length of time The people obviously realize that time after time it has not only saved the nation from disintegration but preserved through thick and thin man’s greatest heritage— liberty. TOO MANY LAWYERS The number of lawyers in the United States amazes anyone who gives some study to the question. According to Dean Smith, of the Columbia School of Law, “There is one lawyer for every 763 per- sons” in the United States, including in- fants. Ajverage earnings of the legal brethren are very low and, in New York county, according to the same authority, “nearly ten per cent of the bar has attain- ed the status of paupers.” The flood of law students has ap- parently reached a new high all over the United States and the bars of almost every county are over-crowded. As a result of this condition, the standards of the profes- is} sion have been seriously impaired and, no doubt, the principles of justice flouted.
