Page Eight THE MAROON TIGER it is for those men beyond seventy who deliberate in the judiciary chambers of the nation. The president’s actions belie the statement, for it was only a few months ago that the president and his party withdrew all opposition to 74 years old George Norris so that he might return to the greatest deliberative body in the world—the Unit ed States Senate. Among other reasons given for the change were reduced costs of ap peal by private litigants and a greater speed in the clearance of court dockets. We fail to see how the cost o f appeal by private litigants will be reduced unless the president in tends to abolish certain courts. As to the clear ance of dockets, it must be admitted that the low er courts are crowded but the Supreme court docket is up to date. Opponents argue, however, that the Supreme court in the last fiscal year (June, 1935-July, 1936) refused to hear 717 petitions without giving any reason at all. But should these refusals serve as a reason to in crease the personnel of the Supreme court? What guarantee does the president have that a court of 15 will not throw out as many cases without stating a reason? We admit the necessity of judi- cialy reform, but we hold that such reforms should be limited to the lower federal courts and to the judicial process. Executive government by judiciary and legislative subserviency is just as obnoxious to us as is judiciary “government by injunction”. But of the two evils we prefer the latter and hope for the eventual eradication of both.

HOPE MEMORIAL (Continued from Page 4) scribe him that those of J. H. L. Baxter. Dr. Hope was— “A man whom honor Could not spoil, Nor all the pomp Or fame, or wealth beguile; A fi’iend of all, Though damned, or lauded much; God blessed and welded To the common touch. A man With a universal soul Unshackled from the gyves Of section’s bounds Of sanguine stock Free of the cults of race— Life’s higher grounds His ark, and holy place. A man Whose teguments were Bright as the dawn, A ray, or crystal stream; Patron of God Without a stain or scar A man triune As spotless as a star.” Men of Morehouse, may we be like him! FOUNDERS DAY (Continued from Page 2) Reverend Miles Mark Fisher, ’18, Philip M. Davis, ’ll, and John W.
