TlfH JUDGES "DIVINE HIGHT1'
Gonoral Jsnao R. Shorwood, who
Toprosoata tho Ninth Ohio district in
congress, assorts that Judges have
grown into tho habit of abusing their
powers. Tho remedy is to mako nil
judgos directly amenable to tho
peoplo, and olectod by tho pooplo,
with limited terms of sorvico and
subject to recall by tho people.
A judgo who does not respect his
ofllco does not dosorvo respect of tho
people A judgo who does not re
spect tho peoplo is unworthy of tho
respect of tho people, and ono un
worthy of that rospoct should not bo
u judgo and should bo removed from
his position.
Tho judicial ofllco oxists for the
benefit of tho peoplo, and when a
judgo uses his ofllco, or misuses it,
to tho injury of tho pooplo ho should
bo recalled.
"Tho cure for tho ills of democ
racy is moro domocracy," has boon
well said. A little democracy ap
pliod to our courts might turn out to
bo protty good medicine.
Wo havo in mind no particular
judgo to whom wo would apply tho
recall,
Wo do not agree with Colonel
Itoosovolt that tho provision for tho
rocall 'of judgos is pernicious in tho
Arizona constitution but would bo
good In tho California' constitution.
It should bo a law in every stato of
the union, and a law of the United
States.
Judges in California arc, as a
whole, neither bettor nor worse than
judges in othor states.
In conclusion, we appeal to our
roadors to work night and day for
tho proposed constitutional amend
ments, tho adoption of which will

mean' tho emancipation of this glori
ous state from tho bondago of pub-lic-sorvico
corporations, It will givo
tho pooplo political freedom. With
political freedom, they can havo in
dustrial freedom whenever thoy
want it whenever, with clear vision,
thoy understand tho full meaning of
Father McGlynn's words: "To do
God's will wo must mako room at
tho Father's table for all His chil
dren." But, as to the "divino right" of
Judges to bo exempt from tho recall.
A man is sacred only as ho is a
man and serves his follow men; but
what is there sacred about a malo
human being who, placed in a posi
tion of honor and trust, refuses to
sorve his employers? For are not
tho peoplo tho employers of a judgo?
And has not an employer tho right
to discharge a faithless employe?
Tho continued reiteration of tho
absurd superstition that a Judge is
sacred, that ho is better than a man
and something more than a man, ia
bringing the judiciary into common
contempt. That superstition, dinned
into tho ears of thinking men, is do
ing moro than anything else to create
what is often bewailed as "disre
spect for tho bench." A man, like
a law, deserves respect only when
ho is respectable worthy of respect.
Position has nothing to do with
worth.
The idea that a man becomes too
sacred to bo criticised or recalled be
cause ho holds a certain position, is
a dangerous and degrading superstition.-

trouble-makers and snouters booked
by Mr. Winship is a long ono, and
every name in the list will bo a joy
to the man looking for language and
trouble. The pomp and pompadour
LaFolletto will appear at the Bos
ton City Club; W. J. Bryan, preslden
trial candidate emeritus, will be
henrd; Jonathan Bourne of Oregon
and New Bedford will spill words if
not truths; Governor Bass of New
Hampshire will explain how he
dodged the Roosevelt hoodoo; Sena
tor Smoot of Utah will tell how the
tariff affects polygamy and the In
fant industries of Mormon; Senator
Moses B. Clapp will spout; Osborn
of Michigan and Cooper of Wisconsin
will mako tho welkin ring even if
the Faneuil Hall welkin has to be
borrowed for tho occasion, and Os
wald Garrison villard, of the New
York Evening Post, will speak of
reform and unveil a choice lot of
evils and dangers.
The Boston City Club bids fair to
be a storm centre during the comlne
year; signals will bo hung out every
time a statesman from the cyclone
belt arrives; and it may be that some
or all of our local distributors of hot
air will undergo a series of eclipses.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody
good. I guess those Thursday even
ing lectures at the Boston City Club
will draw out good audiences, for
it isn't every day a plain man with
a taste for reform has a chance to
see and hear such a succession of
political curiosities. Joseph Smith,
in Boston Herald.
