HAM FOR LUNCH—The "Alas, poor Yorick" scene from Hamlet is presented to a lunch-
time audience at London's Tower Hill by salesman John Corvin. The performance is almost
more than the young lady at left can take. The 32-year-old Cofvin has been giving noon-
time performances to raise money for the Mermaid Theater. But his motives aren't all that
altruistic since he hopes to sell the theater his firm's lighting fixtures.

Rise to Power
In view of recent develop-
ments on a federal level and
the_ requests of several people,
I am reprinting the newslet-
ter that I wrote in 1956.
Where did it all start?
Few people have taken the
trouble to find out the history
of the doctrine which seems to
be causing so much trouble
today. That is, the doctrine
that the Supreme Court has
the power to declare an Act
passed by the duly elected of-
ficials of the people, to wit,
the Congress of the United
States, repugnant to the Con-
stitution and therefore uncon-
stitutional and of no force and
effect, thus vesting in the Su-
preme Court the final veto
power concerning the rules,
regulations and laws by which
our daily lives are governed.
It all started in-1801 imme-
diately after Thomas Jefferson
was sworn in as President of
the United States. At that
time the political parties were
the Federalists on the one
side and the Democratic-Re-
publicans on the other side.
The general philosophies of
these parties were in keeping
with the general alignments
of thought as between Jeffer-
sonian doctrine was based up-
on a distrust of centralized
government and the advocacy
of confidence in the people's
capacity to govern. The Ham-
iltonian philosophy supported
a strong national government
by a sort of "royal purple"
group who would have full
control of the centralized pow-
ers and be able to govern
without interference from the
people.
At that time President Ad-
ams was leader of the Feder-
alists, while Vice - President

The Canadian
Record
\
Jefferson was leader of the
Democratic - Republicans. The
Federalists had gotten in bad
favor with the public and re-
alized that they would be
turned out of office in the De-
cember 3, 1800, election. They
were correct. Thomas Jeffer-
son was elected President at
that time and prepared to be
inaugurated on March 4, 1801.
The Federalists^ in an effort
to perpetuate their power, un-
dertook between the date of
the election, December 3, 1800,
and the date of Jefferson's in-
auguration, March 4, 1801, to
fill all open offices with Fed-
eralist followers. The number
one appointment in this plan
went to John Marshall, Presi-
dent Adams' Secretary of State
and a loyal Federalist. He
was appointed the third Chief
Justice of the United States
Supreme Court. There wére a
number of other appointments
made by President Adams,
among them being the ap-
pointment of a Justice of the
Peace for the District of Co-
lumbia. The recipient of this
appointment was Mr. William
Marbury, who was appointed
on March 2, 1801, just two
days before Jefferson's inaug-
uration.
In the confusion of the
change of administrations, the
then Secretary of State, John
Marshall, signed and sealed
the appointments, but appar-
ently got busy on other mat-
ters and forgot to issue the
commissions to several ap-
pointees, including William
Marbury. Jefferson, upon in-
auguration, had instructed his
Secretary of State, James Mad-
ison, to withhold the issuance
of these commissions. Where-
upon, Marbury filed suit
against James Madison, the
new Secretary of State, in the
Supreme Court of the United
States. Thus was born the fa-
mous case of Marbury vs.
Madison, with which all stu-
dents of the law are familiar.
Since the Supreme Court's
power to take original juris-
diction in cases is limited to a
very narrowly defined class of
cases, there was much discus-
sion about Marbury having
filed his suit in the Supreme
Court rather than in a trial
court. The filing of the case
case, for which they cout
complain, but of having had
to accept, as a thorn with the
roses so to speak, the estab-
lishment of a doctrine that
vested the Supreme Court with
final veto powers on all legis-
lative actions. It is interesting
to note that in the 35 years
that John Marshall served as
Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, he never again declared
an Act of Congress unconsti-
tutional.
It is also well to remember
in this connection that as mat-
ters now stand, the laws pass-
ed by the duly elected offi-
cials of this land are id a
strange position. These laws,
can be knocked down by the
Supreme Court of the United
States as being unconstitu-
tional. Yet, a treaty between
this country and a foreign
country, written and entered
into by the Executive Branch
of the government and duly
approved by the Senate, is on
a parity with, if not superior
to, the Constitution. But in
any event, as the law present-
ly stands, the laws passed by
the Congress are subservient
to siich treaties as well as the
Constitution, so you can imag-
ine how far down this puts the
laws of the several states.

The Canadian Record
in the Supreme Court created
a situation whereby John Mar-
shall, Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court, was called upon
to decide whether or not the
Court could compel James
Madison, Secretary of State,
to issue a commission that
Chief Justice John Marshall,
while serving as Secretary of
State John Marshall, had neg-
lected to issue. Since the Mar-
bury case was clearly outside
of the original jurisdiction of
the Supreme Court, the norm-
al procedure would have been
for the Court to decline to
hear the case and permit the
complainant to file his suit in
a proper court. However, for
some reason Chief Justice
Marshall brought into the pic-
ture the Judiciary Act of 1789,
an Act to control the proced-
ures in federal courts. He in-
dicated that, although the Su-
preme Court could not hear
the Marbury case under
the Constitutional restrictions,
there were provisions in the
Judiciary Act, a statute passed
by Congress, that would per-
mit the Supreme Court to hear
the case. He then proceeded to
hold that, because according
to his conclusions the Judi-
ciary Act was in conflict with
the Constitution, the Judiciary
Act became unconstitutional
and therefore void. This ac-
tion on the part of Chief Jus-
tice Marshall has been inter-
preted as a master stroke of
a devoted advocate to central-
ized government. It created
the doctrine that the Supreme
Court had the power to declare
Acts of Congress unconstitu-
tional—power which was bit-
terly opposed by Jefferson's
followers.
Had John Marshall held
against Jefferson's followers
on the Marbitry case and had
entered a judgment requiring
Madison to issue Marbury a
commission, there was a
strong chance that Marshall
might have been impeached.
Many thought that Marshall
realized this and thereupon
conceived his idea of not en-
dangering h i s position as
Chief Justice, but at the same
time, creating a strong wea-
pon in the hands of advocates
of centralized government.
This approach left the Jeffer-

TALK
by CLYDE K. DICKERSON
You've been hearing some new voices recently from the
Canadian exchange. New operators on the switchboards
are Mrs. Jo Ann Curnutt (wife of Orla Boyd Curnutt who
is now back in Canadian and working for the Highway
Department ; Jackie Sharp, Canadian high school senior;
and Mrs. Marie Golleher. Pat Crosier has transferred to the
Lubbock office.
FOOTBALL FUN
Another football season is underway. If there are any
fans around your house, it's likely that the radio and tele-
vision sets will be working overtime for the next few
months bringing the games into your home. It's the next
best thing to having a 50-yard line seat.
Maybe you've never realized it but the telephone com-
pany plays an important part in bringing you these foot-
ball broadcasts, as well as other radio and television pro-
grams you enjoy. We handle the transmission of programs
from distant placeS for your enjoyment.
Telephone engineers have worked constantly through the
years to improve these facilities. Today we use both cable
and microwave networks to transmit these broadcasts.
And, of course, improved transmission means more pleas-
ure from the programs for you.
This is another example of how the telephone company
always seeks to bring you improved communications—in
radio, television, on a local telephone call across town or
a Long Distance call across the nation.
Getting back to football, have you attended any of the
Canadian Wildcats' games this season, If not, why don't
you plan to be at the next one. Better still, go to aM the
Wildcat games this year. You'll enjoy them and the team
will appreciate your support.
SAVE VÍ ON OUT-OF-TOWN CALLS
Whefiher you're making a Ijpsiness call or just keeping
in touch with members of the'family in other cities, it's
smart to place your Long Distance calls Station-to-Station.
You save money because Station-to-Station rates are
about one-third lower than Person-to-Person rates. This
means you can make three calls for the price of two.
And here's another Long Distance tip to remember: call
by number—it's twice as fast.
Call by number. It't twice at faff.
