Mail yowr THE AMERICAN HOMESTEAD, Lincoln, Nebraska THOMPSON, OF NEBRASKA, ON T1TR lTITIATIVB, THE REF ERENDUM AND THE RECALI (Continued from Page 7.) become distrustful of these remedies if applied, can it be denied that they have tho right and it is their duty if their best judgment dictates to provide for tho election of tho senators by direct vote, to provide for ' the initiative and referendum because of the fear of a few that they would abuse it? Should they be denied the right of recall of tho judiciary because some fear as they "did originally as to the presi dent that if applied to the judges on the bench they would stand in fear of the wrath of the people at the time when they were dealing out their honest convictions, un biased, and unprejudiced, without fear and without favor and with tho scales of justice banging evenly as between all litigants. It may be said, and truthfully said that in this con servative, intelligent land of ours, the people stand opposed to a change in our government for light and tran sient causes; yet can it be said that in the light of the present passing events made brilliant by the recent history of the past, that these causes sought to be remedied are light and transient causes? Can it truthfully be said by a candid people that these remedies are revolutionary in their tendency "when they are vouchsafed by the most sacred of instruments, the constitution of bur country, and are being carefully, impassionately and impartially discussed by the in telligent people of the nation with out bombast or excitement and are sought to be wrought out within the powers retained by the people under the sacred provisions of the funda mental law of our land. I, for one, do not fear any evil effects on the judiciary by the recall as applied to it if the. bill is properly drawn s'b as to make the petition broad enough both as to numbers xmd extent of territory, limited in its scope to' those causea and those causes alone which would render a judge unfit, if guilty to wear the ermine of one of these high tribunals. I have been in active practice of the law for thirty-four years, and have never tried a case or known a time or a place where the recall would have been applied to a judge even if the recall was drafted and enacted as its most enthusiastic friends would likd. The impeaching power as indicated by our president Is a dead letter, but If quickened by the ever active patriotic impulses of a desire to enforce it, I deny that it could be truly uaid that the threat of enforcement would prove a menace to any honest, conscientious judge, either tn nation or state. His tory has shown us that the recall of the president every four years, his standing every day of his life facing the other branches or the government that are clothed with the power of his Impeachment, has had no menac ing or detrimental effect on the presi dent. Why would It have for a single moment a poisonoui effect on those of that department of our govern ment least in touch with the- quicken ing thought of will of the masses. Can It not be truthfully said and ii It not sincerely felt by each and all of us that no lawyer 1b fit to be a Judge who would fear a fair recall law, in the hands of the voters of this state, or this nation, or would feel It a menace or detriment to him In his trying to carry out his high and noble duties as a Judge under our system of government and with the intelligent constituency that must ever be from the bulwark of the nation? Not only this, but all history shows that the people will suffer long the Ills they have rather than even to attempt to remedy them, and In every state as well as In our nation every doubt is thrown In favor of the Judiciary in the minds of one and all and each and all turn Jto them as an anchor sure to hold this nation steady along the course , - mapped out for it by the fathers, arid if they so trust their judiciary,. why should it be said by thom or others in their defense that they should on do feel a less confidence in the good . judgment, in the fairness and justice in the hearts of these people. Have ", not our federal judges at all times .- acted when it was within the power . -of congress to repeal the law putting the judiciary machinery In motion, the power,, by a single act of congress to wipe out of existence every in ferior court of the land, the power in congress to change the rules and regulations governing these courts so as to change the time of their sitting, the power .in congress to repeal Nthe laws providing for salaries, or with hold appropriations for that pur pose? If these courts should act intelligently, conscientiously, and without fear with all of these condi tions surrounding them, with all of these powers vested in an Indepen dent branch of the government which, if they feared, must prove an equal menace with the recall, if these courts could act and did act with independence uider these conditions held by representatives of tjie people, why can it be truthfully said that theyvould fear and tremble and feel, it a menace If these powers were vested in the people themselves in stead of in their servants? Is not this supposed fear and menace but- . a dream born of that spirit existing in our government at the time of the adoption of our constitution, that prophesied sooner or later under the then power that was left in . the people we, as a nation, would either drift to an organized mob, or to monarchy? In most states it would be of little use, as the term of, the , judge is too short. If the r.ecallisv," t to be applied to this department, 'th.o-.a l term of office should be lengthened and thus , instead of lessening the -" purity, stability and high regard for , a"nd of the bench it would be strengthened thereby. In the case where the' judges are appointed - It J would serve as a check on the ap pointive power of our government, and wjiere elective, it would have the same salutary effect upon design ing Interests, attempting to foist upon the bench those in whom they had a peculiar interest, a peculiar confidence, an interest personal in itself, an interest opposed to the general good of the general public. Need one fear this change when our people are approaching these ques tions in their usual way, with due consideration, with a fair desire in spired by the knowledge of the facts embodied in .our history leading up to this situation that some one has been running their government who was not employed for that purpose or the one employed for that purpos has been false to his trust; and have they not concluded that they are not personally to blame so thov ttrh the blame to the laws that have been enacted, the opinions that have been handed down, to the Interests that they feel have been too often th moving cause of the selection of th judge, and they are demanding th right to apply some new remedy to old conditions. They know they. xm masters and feel that they are to uppiy tne remedy to existing evils. They feel that In the past their em ployees and officers too often heark ened back to some other employes) and too little attention Is paid to their present employer and that by applying a, little more direct legisla tion to the selection of their Unlt4 . States senators and more direct supervision to the laws enacted of refused enactment, that they may b able some way to make the roachl ery of government more readily re sponsive to their will.
