Loesch, noted Chicago lawyer who achieved national fame a few years ago for his vigorous leadership against crime in the city But the task is not always an easy one. Sometimes the members of the court themselves are not in accord. Sometimes critics outside the court disagree with its findings. That is only natural. Consider, for example, three of our outstanding constitutional rights: Trial by jury, immunity from unreasonable search, and prohibition upon the taking of life, liberty or property without due process of law. The language of the Constitution as to the first of these is very clear; as to the second it is less clear, and in the case of the third it is still more vague. Defining Our Rights. Since the function of the Supreme court is to protect the individual citizen against the invasion of his constitutional rights, the task of the court is easiest when, in the Constitution, the will of the people has been clearly expressed. Thus a federal statute authorizing a judge to dismiss the jury in a criminal case and himself pronounce the defendant guilty would be a fairly clear violation of the provision that the trial of all crimes shall be by jury. In case of a warrant to search a citizens house, there might be plenty of room for difference of opinion whether the attempted search was or was not unreasonable. Finally, when the citizen complains merely that the congress is proposing to deprive him of liberty or property without giving him a square deal, the court has the difficult task of determining, upon the facts of his case, whether or not his complaint is well founded. In all three cases, however, it is Important to remember that the language of the Constitution is not the courts language, but the people's. As is stated in its Preamble, we, the people wrote the Constitution. As was also provided in the original draft, we, the people, can change its language or provisions. We have, in fact, done so many times, through the process of amendment. And when we make such changes the Supreme court has no choice but to apply, to any case, the rules which the peoole have written. The Case of Mrs. Minor. The Equal Suffrage Amendment offers an interesting illustration of this. Let's go back into a bit of generally forgotten history for an illustration: In 1872 Mrs. Virginia Minor, of Missouri, was denied the privilege of registering as a voter in that state. She insisted that she had the right to vote, and brought suit against the officer who would not let her register. He held that the constitution and laws of Missouri provided that Every male citizen of the United States shall be entitled to vote. Mrs. Minor replied that denying her the vote was a violation of her rights of citizenship under the United States Constitution, and therefore the provisions of the constitution and laws of Missouri were in this case void. The appeal went to the United States Supreme court. After hearing both sides it decided unanimously, that while women had always been considered citizens, nevertheless the right to vote had not been made one of the privileges of a citizen by the United States Constitution, and that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution After a reign as the great American desert, arid Kansas gets did not add the right of suffrage to slightly damp as Gov.

Kansas first went dry in 1881. court, it ought to be changed; but the power for that is not with us. It held further that under the United States Constitution, the constitutions and laws of the several states whicli commit that important trust to men alone are not necessarily void." Today that situation is changed because the people decided that women should have the right to vote and said so clearly in the 19th Amendment, adopted in 1920. Emphatically they asserted: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." Since 1920 any law which deprived a woman of the right to vote would clearly be unconstitutional, and the Supreme court would so declare What had formerly not existed as a right was made a right by the people, by changing the rules. 56-ye- ar To Remove Threads When )asting sewing material, try placing the knots of the thread on the right side.
