The law of the Platform Convention
The Lincoln Journal thinks it has
discovered the key to the platform
convention puzzle In the provision of
our Nebraska law governing political
parties and their organization, which
it quotes as follows
The various political parties shall hold
state delegate conventions on the last
Tuesday In July of each year. Said con
vention shall formulate and promulgate
a state platform; shall select a state cen
tral committee. No action shall be taken
by said state convention for or against
any person who Is or may be a candidate
for any office to be voted on at the next
general election. ' ' ;
The Journal thinks that "through
some lucky chance this law happens
to square with the common sense
method of dealing with the crisis
that everybody must admit now con
fronts the party in this state," the
"common sense method" referred to
being to dodge the issue completely.
It is true that this is the way the
law reads as it stands on the statute
books, yet it is not to be read liter
ally, but in connection with the pur
pose and manner of its enactment.
The platform convention which the
lawmakers had in mind was to be
held In July in advance of the nomi
nating primary fixed for August. It
was thus perhaps desirable and
proper to forbid the party organiza
tion from attempting to forestall the
primary selections by taking sides
between candidates for nomination,
and championing one as against an
other. It was not intended, we be
lieve, to prevent a platform "point-'
ing with pride" to the achievements
and records of a president, or" gov
ernor, or a senator, or a congress
man, though he might be standing
for re-election, or for promotion to
some higher office. 'V
Aa a matter of fact, It was due to
merely oversight and bungling that
the platform convention was not
moved up in presidential years along
with the -primary, and had this been
done, this puzzle would not be con
fronting us.
Kotifying the President
President Taf t is to be formally
notified of his renominatlon August
1, which serves to remind us matter-of-fact
Americans that there are still
a few perfunctory formalisms to
which we rigidly cling. " There is
every reason in the world to believe
that President ? Taft is . entirely
cognizant of the .fatt of his renomi
natlon at Chicago last month, But
officially he knows nothing about
it. None of the' nominees would
ever have unescapable knowledge of
their success If a committee carefully
elected for the purpose did not call
upon them on an appointed day with
the notice;-' - ;--.- :'
President Taft ' will receive ; thjs
news at the White House. President
Roosevelt received his announcement
in 1904 on the shady lawn of his
Oyster Bay home, if the cartoonists
told the truth. , The time, place and
day are not of consequence, except
that this is supposed to mark the
opening of the campaign. There was
a time when even personal notice
was not regarded as essential. The
story is told that Zachary Tay
lor was notified by letter'; hat he
was in New Orleans at the time and
received word from the postof flee
that a letter addressed to him was
held there for correct postage. Gen
eral Taylor, no doubt, had an ink
ling that the letter contained the
notification of his nomination for the
presidency, but inasmuch as he al
ready had heard of it and also inas
much aa the letter lacked postage,
he refused to take it out of the of
fice. Whether the missive was re
turned to the dead-letter office or
the .sender, the story does not tell,
but Bomehow or other General Taylor
seems to have got along without it.
Teaching the Bible.
Sixty-three Protestant churches In
New1 York City are carrying on Bible
schools five days a week for children
who ire accustomed to run the
streets most of the time.' Four relig
ious, organizations have the work in
charge, and growing interest and re
sults are reported. A lesser num
ber of churches did the same work
last summer.
This is a good way of teaching the
Bible and making use of .the
churches valuable property. It Is also
a practical appeal to children who
otherwise would be running at large
in the hot weather. But this is only
one way of getting the Bible taught
There are scores of other ways avail
able to the church. One unobjection
able way Is for church people, fathers
and mothers, who hold church mem
bershlp, to teach the Bible to their
children in their own homes. . ' '
If churches in every city were to
do what these New York churches
are doing and all the church homes
were to begin teaching the Bible to
their children. It would fill practically
all requirements. Until church peo
ple themselves do all that lies within
their power to give their children a
working knowledge of the Bible, com
plaint over the Bible not being taught
in the schools will lack force. Until
the home and the church exhaust
their possibilities. It is not quite fair
to condemn our . "irreligious" system
of popular education. There is no
more reason for keeping church doors
closed six days in the week, it Bible
and moral instruction is desired, than
parent neglecting to teach their
children at home- how to walk the
J right path, "-.,

People Talked About
REMOVAL OF FEDERAL JUDGES
Constitutional Provision-Amply Effective if Eightly Applied. - '
Springfield Republican.
The Judge Archbald impeachment case .
brings to public attention again the im
peachment trial as a method of determln-1
izig' the fitness of federal judges to hold
their places on the bench. It Is commonly I
assumed that no other method Is possible
under the federal constitution and im
peachment trials are often criticised as
crude, cumbrous and unsatisfactory.
There Is much force In the criticism, for It
Is necessary under the impeachment
clause of the constitution to - con
vict the accused judge "of ' treason,
bribery, or other high, crimes and
misdemeanors." These axe very grave
offenses and . obviously a judge In
nocent x( such crimes or misdemeanors
might be guilty of lesser offenses which
would unfit him for the judicial office. In
the last case, of a federal judge In-1
peached, the acquittal was notoriously
due to the senate's feeling that, while
the accused jurist had , committed Im
proprieties, his conviction of "high crimes
and misdemeanors" would be excessive
punishment .
Is it not time and high time that pro
vision was made for the removal .jf fed
eral judges who commit the lesser of
fenses which Impair public confidence In
them and praotically end their useful
ness on the bench? In the staffs,, or et
least many of them,' Judges can be re
moved without Impeachment 'rials. In
Massachusetts, tne constitution provides
that the governor, with sthe consent of
the council, may remove Judges "upon
the address of both houses of the legis
lature." And this Is founded on the Eng
lish practice established by the act ' f
settlement of 1704.: m England, judges
appointed "during good . behavior" may
be removed by Parliament. Our federal
constitution adopted the English Idea of
making th terms of federal Judges "dur
ing good behavior," but It did not spe
cifically provide for their removal "by
address." It simply said that "the judges,
both of the supreme and Inferior courts,
shall hold their office during good be
havior; and shall, at stated times, re
ceive for their .series 'a compensation,
which shall not U diminished during
their continuance in office." In subject
ing judges to impeachment trials, con
gress hitherto has found . constitutional
authority in that clause providing that
"the president, vtoe president and all civil
officers of the -United States, shall be re
moved from office on Impeachment," etc.
This would Involve a weak point In the
constitution," if Judges could be reached in
no other way than by Impeachment pro
ceedings, inasmuch as while ths presi
dent, vies president and all Important
civil officers, except Judges, serve for
limited terms, those on the bench are ap
pointed for periods limited only by death
or "good behavior. '
The senate debate on the abolition of
the . commerce court last . month was
notable for the opinion advanced by Sen
ator Cummins, and apparently concurred
In by Senator Sutherland, both of whom
rank high in the senate as constitutional
lawyers, that the power of congress to
remove federal Judges Is' not exhausted
by the impeachment process, as Is gener.
ally believed. Senator Cummins did not
argue the point at any length, but in
cidentally he said: t
It would be most Interesting and In
structive If we were to enter for a little
while, and I do not intend to do it, upon
the .consideration of the term ' "good be
havior;'.' there Is a prevalent notion
throughout the country that Judges of the
federal courts are appointed for life.
That is not true. They are -appointed
during good behavior. I recognize that
I am not now speaking directly to the
point at Issue, but we so often hear the
expression that federal Judges are ap
pointed tor life that I want to give some
publicity to the real language of the con
stitution, which is "during good be
havior." I am not one Of the persons who
believe that the determination of what
Is good behavior can be had only In an
impeachment trial. My friend from Utah
says that unless a federal judge is re
moved from his office by the process of
impeachment for high crimes and mis
demeanors he must remain there during
AMERICAN HABIT OF THE OPEN HAND
One Phase of High Cost of living Often Overlooked.
'" ' ' - - - New York Post. ' ' . '
Among the list of reasons for the pinch
If that tight garment, the cost of living,
tome are material reasons, that Is, per
taining to the cut of the coat; but others
concern the shape of the wearer, and te
moral reasons.' ' The coat that pinches
4s so Irksomely would be roomy enough
or many a nationality of less luxurious
rflrth, with waistband less extended1 by
the good things of life. Above all, the
uncomfortable and uncompromising gar
ment gives little room for the habitual
American gesture of the open hand. Now,
open-handed spending Is a tralb easy to
admire; but less easy, to defend. Spend
thrift palms are no doubt better than
tight-close fists. If It wer. a question
of choosing between extremes. None the!
less, the open-handed habit stands forth
among American ways of today as an
anomaly and amounts to an unhappy na-,
tional characteristic. It marks Americans
apart from the conservative English, the,
economical Germans, and the frugal
French, and handicaps us in the un
flagging struggle for existence. .
Even In the rural parts of our coun
try," the results of the open hand are
to be seen.. Signs of it are beheld In
costly farm Implements left to go to
rust for Jack of proper care, because
the farmer . scorns small economies. In
the cities . the evidences are more va
ried. They appear not simply in the
large expenditure for pleasures and lux
uries, about which so much Is said, but
In connection with the very necessities
of food, shelter, clothing and transpor
tation. When provisions are bought tor
ths open-handed man's household, the
ordering is done by telephone. It seems
petty providence ,to examine 1 every
pound of beef and head of cabbage; so
the dealer Is left with full license to
set the price and quality of the pur
chases. Again, In our dietary appears
a greater amount of meat than In that
ot any other nationality or race practic
ing agriculture: meat we see, Is the
most expensive article ot diet; there
tore, we say, let us have It; It Is good
enough tor us. x
-, . L' '-, ' ' - -
When the city man secures the services
ot a waiter, a barber or a bootblack he
feels it necessary, more than at any
other time perhaps, to play ths prince.
He fees the waiter In particular, on a
scale somewhere between one-sixth and
one-third of his bill. It does net strike
ths man of small income as ludicrous
that ha Should thus conspicuously be
friend a waiter who Is very -likely better
off In the world's goods than himself.
Such a thought on the contrary, gives
him a flattering consciousness of the
spontaneity of his own liberality. In a
thousand . little things ths city man Is
prodigal because he hates to be heedful
of petty things. The clerk who has his
old hat fitted with a new binding Is as
hard to find as the maa who has his Old
his natural life. I cannot agree to that
statement I do not Intend to pause to
even discuss what procedure could be
established by congress In order to de
termine what good behavior is and what
it is not; but 1 believe that there is mis
behavior on the part of a Judge for which
he can be removed from office that does
notarise to the dignity or the severity
of either a crime or a misdemeanor. ,
Mr. Sutherland Mr. President
The Presiding Officer Does the senator
from Iowa yield to the senator from
Utah?
Mr. Cummins I do.
Mr. Sutherland Either I did not ex
press myself as I intended to do or the
senator from Iowa did not quite under
stand me. I did not mean to say that
a Judge could hold his office until he
had been impeached. I recognise that
there is a great deal of force in what the
senator Irom Iowa says. I am not at
all certain but that there may be such
behavior upon the part of a judge short
of an Impeachable offense that would
enable us to get rid of him. I did not
mean to antagonise that position.
Mr. Cummins I am very glad indeed
that I misunderstood the senator from
Utah. because In these days when clouds
are rolling around the .judiciary, when
various remedies are proposed for their
recall, I think It is well to remember
that we have somewhere, somehow, the
power to determine the good behavior
of the judges of the United States, and
that therefore we do not need, at this
time at any rate, those severer changes
that are suggested in the recall by a
popular vote.
1 think that congress has the power to
provide for the removal of judges of the
United States whenever they violate the
rule which Is established in the constitu
tion, namely, the rule of good behavior;
and that means that these judges must
obey, and as I am very glad to say they
generally have obeyed, the fundamental
principles of propriety and ethics.
. I know. the English act provided that
the will of parliament should be the rule
or determining good behavior. It Is not
ao with our constitution; and neither is
,t sothat the only way of determining
good behavior is through a court of im
peachment. We have never yet had the
occasion ; it never became necessary for
us to legislate upon that subject, but
when it does, 1 predict that congress will
find that it may, upon giving the Judge
affected opportunity for . trial and for
hearing, prescribe a procedure which shall
erect some other test, some higher stan
dard than the low and ineffectual test
ana stanaara or the commission of a
crime or a misdemeanor. -
It seems to as that the senator from
Iowa has reminded the country of a hith
erton unused power of congress which is
of great Importance and value. In de
daring that "the Judges, both of the
supreme and superior courts, shall hold
their offices during good behavior," the
constitution sets up a test entirely dif
ferent, so far as Judges are concerned,
from the "high crimes" test' in the clause
on the Impeachment of the president
Judges must be well behaved to retain
their places; and obviously it rests with
congress to prescribe, if it chooses to,. the
standards or rules of "good behavior,
the transgression of which would Involve
the removal of the erring judges from
office. That such judges would be
granted a hearing In order that they
might defend themselves is to be taken
for granted. They get one in England,
from parliamentary committees; In
Massachusetts they get it from commit
tees of the legislature.
In the present case of Judge Archbald,
It Is not at all improbable that, in an
Impeachment trial, the senate would de
cline to remove him on the ground that
he had committed "high crimes" or "mis
demeanors," as those terms are used in
law; and there would remain, no way of
relieving the federal bench of a judge
whose acts had -been sufficiently Im
proper to constitute, let us assume, a
breach of . "good behavior." The courts,
including the federal judiciary, are pass
ing through a period of severer criticism
than they have encountered in years,
May' it not be an excellent time for con
gress to make use of the power which
Mr. Cummins declares exists and set up
tests of good behavior which In the future
will keep the federal bench purged of un
worthy judges, without resort to the un
wieldy and unsatisfactory impeachment
process?
shoes' resoled or the one who walks ten
minutes' distance to save a nickel. In
dress the country man may still be eco
nomical in some sections, but the city
man is lavish. He Is down on class dis
tinctions. Is the city man, and so he
buys himself new clothes, for his must
look as fine as the next man's. Beyond
a certain very humble line, there is no
telling -a . man by his dress; be he bank
president or bill collector. When it comes
to rents, the same man, leasing quarters
such as he thinks worthy of him and
his flings to the dogs all the grandmother-rules
that would restrict the rent
to a quarter of the year's expenditures.
Un(lw.ivinf; a tneM famliar evidences
there Is a peculiar fact The open
handed man Is spendthrift as a matter
of principle. He is possessed with an
Idea, and it is not idea of economy.
He despises plain, homespun thrift, as a
former generation of thrifty, homespun
characters despised the miser, and his
Ideal is to live largely and freely. His
policy is to play a larger part than , he
has won the right to play, some may
say. In all this there may be some of
the purpose of bluff, which foreign ob
servers seem to regard as so Important
a part of our motives. But there Is
more of another and a finer Idea, that
of confidence. We spend because' we
are confident in our country; it would be
treason, to the free-handed man's way
of thinking, to doubt that his country
is able and ready to suppy at least
one new dollar for every dollar spent
As a young man he expects to reach
a better station than he occupies. As
a mature man he expects his children
to reach stations that be has not at
tained. All about him he sees progressive
prosperity, or reads the American legend
of growth. He deems It treason to his
country and to himself to think it
necessary to lay by against ths future.
The open hand, therefore. Is not a
mere weakness. It Is a positive moral
Idea with millions of men. Unfortunately,
like a great many fixed Ideas. It Is
based on reasons that are extinct There
was a time, and that not far back, when
It was easy come and easy go. Wealth,
especially In the newer sections of the
country, was then never far from the
grasp of an active and enterprising busi
ness man. He who staked his all most
cheerfully 'was t often in the best posi

to discount the future was frequently a
good financial speculation. So It was In
the days of railroad building,' , mining
exploration, land allotments. - and the
growth of new industries. But at last,
the railroads are built, the lands, or
the pick of them, are occupied and the
mining claims are staked out It Is no
longer the time for good cltlsens to dis
pense their earnings like a miner spend -
ing his pile. Fioneer oays may oe in
full swing In Alaska, but they are over
as ' far as the main territory ot the
United States Is concerned. The pinch of
high prices has brought the warning
that ' the country's resources have
reached a very close ratio to the re
quirements of Its population. There is
nothing shameful In Itself in good hus

T. C. Brayton In Rosary Magasine.
A big road circles round the world, sur
fine It is and gay,
But the little horeen of my heart runs
lone and far away;
Tis winding over seas with many a sigh
But oh of all the roads I know it is the
sweetest yet
By common ways and common gravel
and common homes it goes;
But oh, Us beauty no one but the soul
-within me knows;
Its dawns are drenched with dew from
heaven, its nights are tearful sweet.
And sometimes One long crucified walks
there to guide my feet
It leads me down by purple hills where
fairies sport of nights.
It shows me many a hawthorn lane, the,
scene of dead delights',
It clothes again with living grace the
faces laid away ,
Beneath the cold of grass and mould,
my road of yesterday. .
Oh, twllit boreen of my heart the world
is vague and vast, .
But you are holy with the balm of all
my hallowed past;
Tou thrill me with the touch of hands
- my hands were wont to hold,
Tou lure me with the lilt ot dreams I
- dreamed and lost of old. .
The big roadt of the world leads on by
many a stately town,
But the little boreen of my heart keeps
ever drifting down .
By ; common ways and common graves
and common homes, but oh,
Ot all the roads in life it is the sweetest
road I know.
