It is mil nfli'ii 1 1 : t a iiii'iiilii-r
of tli' judiciary as high as the
district court talks as plain about
(he judiciary of Ihis country as
dnl Judge II. 1. Travis of tin- dis
trict court in his address yester
day morning al I lie I'resliylerian
church on I lie subject of " ioern
inent." II was an audience made
up nio.slly of women that heard
this thoughtful address. The
message was one that every man
and school hoy in Plattsmouth
should have heard and thought
about.
The feature of Hie address, lie
cause of its timeliness, was on
the subject of I he recall. Judge
Travis does not believe in the re
call of th" judiciary! He admits
that much of the criticism of the
courts is deserved, but the recall
ia mil the nroner remedy, lie )e-
.f

: There was much interest in'.:'
I legal history in Judge Travis' ad
dress, which cannot be riven here
liecail-e of lack of -pace. e
' traced the beginnings of the
I ihecl ies now en io I'll by I he
I Allplo-Saol people. He explained
: how (lie constitution of the 1'niled
; Slates is the supreme law of the
I land, and it is upon the conslilu
I lion that Ihe bulwark of Hie peo
ple's liberties stands. He lobl of
jlhe decision in the supreme court
'of the cae of Marborough vs.
Madison, in which Ihe courl de
cided I hat where a law of con
press was in conflict with the con
stitution, Ihe constitution must
rule. Judge Travis said he
agreed with the courts lhat the
licves. To subject Hie judiciary i const il ul ion is supreme and ought
to the recall would throw every
judge into Ihe mire of politics. If
a judge should not decide a case
a certain wav a litigant could go
out and seek to have him recall
ed. This would I brow the judges
into politics.
Judge Travis said Hint Ihe
.indues have not let polil ics alone
and Ihal is Ihe reason for II lit-
civ against Hie courts. The rights
of the people have I n violated
bv I he judiciary, lie gave an ex
Hinide from Cincinnati, where a
noted political boss escaped trial 1,1
through the lla-ffanl aid of a;
ilidire. The judge before whom ' '''
Hie boss was llrsl hrouubl. and
who insisted thai be be placed on;
trial, said, after Ibis miscarriage ;
of just ice. that he favored (he re-j
call, riol because he believed in it,'
but because something must be;
done to purify Ihe courls.
.Indue Travis slated Ihal as be
tv een courls influenced by f 1 1 (
people and courls influenced by
the special interests, the former,
would he much the lesser of the!
two evils.
lie ;!! !bal one of Ihe reasons
for the present condition of Hip
Courts was Ihal Ihe judues were
riot selected from the people,
Kspecially was Ihis true of Ihe
federal judiciary. Point him u
single federal judge, he said, who
did not, before appointment, have
connections with ureal corporate
influences. lie gave a snecillr
example in Ihe case or .Indite
Vandcvciilrr. w'ln owed his ap
pointment lo his present position
through I'nion Pacillr. inlliiences.
lie called aUei'lion to the fact
lhat Ihe federal judiciary is never
recruited from the state courts,
and lold of Ihe ell'orts to have
Judge Deamer of Iowa, a really
great judge, appointed to the
place which was tilled bv Vande
cnler. As a remedy for Ihe federal
judiciary, he suggested lhat the
federal judges he chosen by Ihe
Vole of Ihe people. He would lake
away from Ihe president Ihe
to bertha! if any of its provisions
could be set aside by statute, the
time miirhl come when ropgress
could pass an act cecal ing a
dictator.
He cited Ihe famous liarlmouth
college decision, in which the su
preme court decided Ihal a charter
given by a stale was a contract
and could not be revoked. And
then the case of Fletcher vs. Peck,
in which the court held that a
(.'rant of a legislature is irrevoc
able, no matter if it can be proved
Ihal it was secured fraudulent ly.

gives more power with less gasoline- how ihe I HC style of governing gives
steadier power and economizes fuel how the I 11 C cooling system prevents

A Valuable Speaker.
Dr. II. P. Shepherd of St. Louis,
who is to be the chief speaker af,
the County Sunday School conven
tion to be held in Plallsmouth
October ICi and 17, is one of ils
most prominent men on the Sun
day school platform. His real
business is edilor-in-chief of one
of the large church publications,
but his virile manhood and force
ful manner of speaking have put
him in demand as a public speak
er from Maine lo California. His
activities are varied and numer
ous. Aside from being editor of
a great magazine he is an active
member of Ihe National Congress
of Farmers. Ihe National Hureau
of Legislation, the American
Statistical society, the American
Kconomical association, the
American Sociological society, Ihe
International Hureau of Concilia
lion, the North American Re
liirious Kdiical ion association. So
il can be seen that we are to have
a man of no small caliber, a man
of wide experience and large
ideas, a man whose participation
in Hie great movements of Ihe
day for the betterment of Ihe
world qualifies him lo deliver the
message we need to bear. We
are indeed fortunate in securing
Mr. Shepherd and the man or
woman who fails to her him will
miss a i;eal genuine uplift.
A railroad expert has made the
statement that the construction of
locomotives is still in its infancy.
"The mallet engine may seem
large now," said (1 T. Ripley, as
sistant engineer of tests of the
Santa Fe, "but within a few years
there will be still larger types.
The mechanical ollicials of Ihe
Santa Fe are now working on pat
ents by which three engines will
be coupled together, instead of
two, as in the present comopnnd
Mallets." j
With larger and larger freight;
engines, the length of the freight!
trains will be greater and greater.
Now il is quite a favorite pastime
of people at the Ilurlmglnn depot
to count Ihe number of cars that
pass through here. Trains of
from' 7 to HO cars are Ihe usual
thing, while sometimes they have
i 90 or a 100 cars. Willi engines
twice as powerful as Ihe big ones
thai come through on Ibe Bur
lington, train a mile long will
probably become the rule, as it
seems to be the practice of Ihe
ollicials of that road to put on
as many cars as is possible. Many
of the freight I rains that come
from the east over Ihe Iturlington
have lo be helped up the hill at
the bridge by an additional en
gine.
