Judicial Legislation,
Among the striking passages in
Justice Harlan's opinion In the Stand
ard OH case Is his reference to Judicial
legislation couched in the following
language:
In the now not very short life that
I have passed In this capital and In the
public service of the country, the most
alarming tendency of this day. In my
Judgment, so far as the safety and In
teKrlty of our Institutions are concerned
is the tendency to judicial legislation.
From the context it might be in
ferred that the learned Jurist means
to convey the Impression that the
tendency toward Judicial legislation is
a new and modern innovation, being
"of this day" only, when as a matter
of fact the outcry against Judicial leg
islation dates back to the foundation
of the republic, add has been almost
continuous during that time. Deplore
the tendency to Judicial legislation to
the satisfaction of one and all by the
most cursory examination of almost
any volume of court reports on the
book shelves.
One difficulty is that there Is a
wide' divergence of opinion as to what
constitutes Judicial legislation, de
pending largely upon the view point.
The courts are called upon to inter
pret and apply legislative and consti
tutional amendments to particular
cases. The litigant who wins the de
cision seldom objects that the court
has resorted to judicial legislation
while the defeated party in the suit
is usually consoled by his lawyer with
the Information that he would have
won if the court had followed the law
as the legislature made it.
Sometimes, the Judges find them
selves face to face with what Is ap
parently a perplexing conflict of law,
where one set of lawmakers has used
language that falls to gibe with the
law or constitution as written by
another set of law-makers, and the
court undertakes to reconcile them as
best it may with a view to making
them practically workable.
Still again laws have found their
way to the statute books which no two
persons could read alike, and it de
volves upon the courts either to annul
them or to supply omissions which
the law-makers were either too negli
gent, or too incompetent to provide.
In all these cases we have indubita
ble examples of Judicial legislation; in
fact, we have Judicial legislation in
some degree nearly every time a new
question Is presented for adjudication.
Whether the tendency to Judicial
legislation then is an alarming
tendency must be determined accord
ing to the kind of Judicial legislation
we are given, whether the courts con
strue the law on a broad basis of Just
ice or hunt for technicalities to shield
the law-breakers and to deny relief
from oppression. The tendency of
Judicial legislation will not be alarm
ing if only the courts endeavor
honestly and impartially and to apply
the law to clear the innocent and pun
ish the guilty and to . safeguard'
equally the rights of every person
irrespective of race, color, creed, occu
pation or wealth.
Training Mothers by Mail.
Mrs. Hannah K. Schoff, president
of the National Congress of Mothers,
has the utmost faith in her plan of
training mothers for their household
duties by a system of correspondence
through the mall. ' Why not, since
people are educated in far more scien
tific arts by mail? If, however, Mrs.
Schoff'B plan does not arouse general
enthusiasm at once she must not be
come discouraged. It has a good deal
to commend it, but it is so novel that
people will require a little time to
think it over before adopting it.
Mrs. Schoff proceeds on thejheory
that mothers, especially young moth
ers, have much to learn in the impor
tant matter of how to care for their
babes and growing children. That
certainly is a safe basis. It cannot
be disputed. Ignorance in these fun
damentals is undoubtedly the cause
of much sickness, death and misery in
the homes of the land, and if the
mothers' congress has devised' a way
of meeting the situation without up
setting the home, then let us have it.
This scheme, radical as it may
seem, is not much different in princi
ple from our country life commission
idea, or our campaign of education
against tuberculosis and other forms
of disease. It may dovetail in with
all these modern movements very well
when once it is sot in action. Cer
tainly any social enterprise that
touches the mothers and the homes Is
worth attention, since the home, as
the unit of society, and the mother as
the preceptress of the home, have to
be looked out for if the general enter
prise of civic uplift la to succeed.
England'! Population Problem.
An unsatisfactory increase in popu
lation figures in the United States
causes ' disappointment, but in Eng
land, where the population is so
largely congested beyond wholesome
degrees in the cities, particularly Lon
don, it Is not so. The people over
there consequently are probably not
worrying much because In ten years
the entire population for England and
Wales shows less than 4,000,000 gain,
or because In London it shows less
than three-quarters of a million gain,
or because In London county it shows
an actual loss. It is the size of Lon
don's army of unemployed that most
Perplexes. The city and the county
and the kingdom, for that matter,
have no need to devhe ways and
means of increasing population so
long as there is not enough employ
ment for the population and tie pr
cpittaga of dependence goes on in
creasing. A while ago England inaugurated
the plan of deporting as many of its
surplus subjects as possible to its col
onies, as the only promising outlet for
them. With no room for contiguous
expansion on the island and the In
dustrial employments, great as they
are, yet unequal to demands an over
flow hag to be provided for. The
problem in England Is not population
Increase but population distribution.
Diaz's Flight from Mexico.
In the flight of Citizen Porflrlo
Diaz the Mexican revolution is
rounded out In the glamor of the
melodramatic that usually marks po
litical transitions in Latin countries.
For a third of a century this man
ruled his people so completely that it
has been said of him, "Mexico 1b lost
in Diaz, Diaz Is Mexico." Now,
stripped of all "power, Btrlcken in
years and health, he steals out of a
sick chamber under the protection of
night, disguised and guarded, feels his
way along lonely highways to a train
prepared and ready to bear him and
his household away to a ship that is
to carry them to safety in another
land. No skill of stagecraft could
have arranged a more effective setting.
Even the elements, the wind and rain,
are in keeping with the turbulence
and din of the mobs that still reign.
It is the Latin way. Diaz evidently
did not mean what he said when he
accompanied his first promise to re
sign with a statement of his intention
to remain In Mexico, secure in the
feeling that "my countrymen will not
harm me." It Is plain now why he
temporized. It is not so creditable
to his people, though. . Was the ora
torical member of the Chamber of
Deputies right when he exclaimed that
"the people of Mexico have progressed
faster than the author of their
progress realized?"
But Diaz's departure, pathetic as it
Is, leaves the new regime in Mexico
free to perfect its plans for improve
ment upon the Diaz government, an
achievement it must not expect to
reach at once. It may afford the old
warrior some interest to look on from
distant Spain, whither he goes to
while out his remaining days.
Reclaiming Swamp Land.
If plans of the National Irrigation
congress are successful, 80,000,000
acres of swamp land, all east of the
Rocky mountains, will be reclaimed
and soon placed under cultivation.
The project for its reclamation was
announced at the nineteenth annual
meeting of the congress in Chicago
last week. In addition to paying all
the cost of the work of reclamation,'
this land, it is estimated, would in
crease Its value by the sum of $1,600,
000,00.0. The land lies in - several
states and this is a distinct advantage,
for it would make possible a wide dis
tribution of settlers that is most de
sirable in all work of this sort.
m. .Certainly, as the congres points out,
if the government can dig a dry ditch
for reclaiming soil, it can dig a wet
one for the same purpose. As a mat
ter of fact it is doing that in - he
Everglades of Florida. Just as good
soil, perhaps, is to be had by one
process of reclamation as by another,
and there is no reason why the work
should be delayed, for it is desirable
to bring under cultivation and open to
settlement every acre of land possible.
It all goes to produce new wealth, to
meet the demands ofsupply and con
sumption. It gives additional room
for population expansion, affording
new outlets for people seeking them.
Much of this land Is in middle-west
states, 1,000,000 acres being in Illi
nois alone. This land was obtained
from the federal government. It
would cost, it is said, $1'4, 500,000 to
reclaim it. ' Its reclamation, estimates
show, would add to the land values of
the states the sum of $20,500,000.
Of course, such a mammoth enter
prise as this contemplates immense
resources, and the government may
not be able to get to It at once, but
that It will before long may be de
pended on.
Yellowest of Yellow Perils.
Just as some of the peace-loving
people of this country bad flattered
themselves into believing thayt their
sweet songs of international arbitra
tion had lulled to sleep the last of the
yellow perils, Hudson Maxim bursts
forth with a new one, the worst we
have yet beheld. Says he:
There are In China, and over the vast
neighboring areas, uncounted myriads
needing but a leader and arms and train
ing to hurl themselves upon western civ
ilisation and smite us hip and thigh as
their ancestors smote ours in years agone.
These people are now awakening. They
are training. They are arming. The
great yellow storm cloud Is slowly rising
along the whole eastern sky, and It Is
only a question of time when the storm
will burst upon the Occident with un
precedented fury.
"Uncounted myriads!" That must
be a good many of the enemy. Mr.
IJaiim does not offer any suggestion
as to how this defenseless nation may
ward off this oncoming horde of sav
age orientals, but be explains their
animus very clearly by saying that
they are "smarting under the sting of
humiliation heaped upon them
through the centuries."
Aha! Revenge at last! Quick,
then, to arms! This land of the free
and home of the brave must not be
taken, not now when it has been thus
grossly deceived by a people to whom
It had been offering every courtesy in
the hope of courting a staunch, true
friendship. And so they have trifled
with our affections! All they need
now to hurl themselves upon us and
wipe us off the map la "a leader and
arms and training." Thy must have
the money all in hand. Perhaps that
Is what China wanted with that $50,
000.000 loan In wbkb we so ketmly
participated. Base decelvert And
yet there is the pleasing consolation
that Japan needed more than a leader,
arms and training In Its recent en
counter with Russia and, while not
glorying in any nation's misfortune,
there is the further fact for our relief,
that both China and Japan are pretty
well tangled up with domestic prob
lems that should keep them busy for
years to come, without stalking over
here to give us a thrashing.
But it is well to have. this advance
Information, for it will enable the
United States to prepare for the worst.
Also, we know now that Japan was

Nebraska and Wisconsin.
In the current Issue of the Outlook,
Colonel Roosevelt contributes an
article entitled, "Wisconsin, an Object
Lesson for the Rest of the Union,"
based on personal observation during
his recent western tour, in which he
pays fulsome tribute to the Badger
state as a leader in social andclvic re
form. "After my visit," he con
cludes his testimony, "I felt like con
gratulating Wisconsin upon what it
had done and was doing; and I felt
much more like congratulating the
country as a whole because it has in
the state of Wisconsin a pioneer blaz
ing the way along which we Ameri
cans must make our civil and Indus
trial advance during the next few
decades."
Without seeking to detract from
the position to which Wisconsin has
attained, we feel perfectly safe In as
serting for Nebraska a claim to fur
nlah an as good, If not better, object
lesson for the rest of the union. Ne
braska is a newer state than Wiscon
sin, a less populous state and a less
wealthy state, but in civic and indus
trial reform it got ahead of Wiscon
sin, and even now is nowhere behind
It. In the great contest between the
railroads and the people Nebraska
made earlier and altogether better
progress than Wisconsin. In election
reform Nebraska was among the first
to adopt the Australian ballot, it beat
all but Ohio with a corrupt practices
act, and broke ground for the state
wide direct primary. In labor legisla
tion Nebraska has set the pace in the
protection: of women against over
work and night work, it ha the most
comprehensive law governing child
labor, some time ago abolished the
fellow-servant doctrine and wiped out
the limit of damage recovery for
death. Nebraska's regulation of the
liquor traffic as a local option high
license basis has stood the test for
thirty years.
All these achievements, and . many
more equally significant, have been
won by persistent effort of our own
progressive citizenship, in most cases
without even semblance of house-top
advertising, which may account for
Nebraska enjoying less of the lime
light than Wisconsin. Nebraska, how
ever, may fearlessly challenge com
parison, with any state in the union
for real and substantial legislation for
the public Interest along safe and sane
lines. 1
Methods of Carnegie Endowment.
From Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler's
explanation of the methods of the
Carnegie peace endowment, it is evi
dent that the best science and scholar
ship are to be employed in this great
movement to promote world peace.
While resting upon the "moral con
sciousness of mankind," Mr. Carne
gie's proposition does not Ignore the
stern and basic element of Justice, or
the economical aspect of the question.
One of Its chief divisions is that of
international law, which will be
handled by the eminent authority on
that subject, Prof. James Brown
Scott, whose deliberations will be
based upon the "correct and definite
idea of international Justice." Then
there Is the division of economics,
which will look out for the effect of
public opinion and "preferential tar
iffs and economical aspects of the
present huge expenditures for mili
tary purposes."
There Is more than mere sentiment
in this peace movement. At least It
is not exclusive or controlling. The
whole movement is one of education.
It will progress as rapidly as the peo
ple come to understand and appreciate
and value world peace and no faster.
All these elements that are thrown
Into It will work together for Its ad
vancement and of them any one can
be disregarded less easily tban the
money factor. Nor Is that a reflec
tion upon the sordldness of the na
tions of the earth. It is simply look
ing at the facts of human nature as
they are. In the meantime this quest
for world-peace will, undoubtedly, de
rive great stimulus from the kindred
effort to enlist the great nations in
an arbitration treaty, by which dis
putes may be settled without resort to
arms.
A Summer White House.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa is an en
terprising westerner and a good man
to have In Washington when It comes
to looking put for the judicious ad
vertising of the west's superior re
sources and advantages, and in his
effort to persuade President Taft to
take up his summer residence in either
lows or Minnesota he has done that i
which the people of the west will
naturally appreciate. Of coarse, the
president, having already arranged
for his summer home elsewhere, could
no conveniently accept Henator Ken
yon's invitation, but he was 1m pressed
with It. nevertheless.
The Iowa statesman asked the pres-
tdent to cast his official headquarters
at ODe of two places for the heated
season Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota,
or Lake OkoboJI, Iowa. Now, beth of
these are beautiful and delightful
places, but there was Just one thing
lacking in Senator Kenyon's invita
tion, and that was that it did not In
clude Nebraska as a place for the
summer White House. Nebraska, the
Orange belt In the winter time, Is the
Ideal summer resort, and possibly had
the Iowan called this to the at
tention of the president his Invita
tion in behalf of the west might have
been successful. Of course, since he
failed to, the president could not have
been expected to mention it, himself.
In the meantime the mere reference
of Minnetonka and OkoboJI in this
connection ought to have a bullish
effect upon their trade this summer.
Think of the distinction of spending
your vacation at a place which was
even suggested as the summer capital
of the nation. We shall expect to
hear that both have broken their rec
ords for the season. But president!-,
while they do not usually tie them
selves down to a fixed summer home,
and perhaps should not, are not really
on vacation all the time they are away
from Washington, and it Is necessary
for them to be comparatively near the
capital, yet a location In the middle
west will be central enough and only
a few hours more ride to Washington
than from New England.
This trade boosting is getting to be
something in the nature of circuit rid
ing. , St. Joseph boosters were fol
lowed by Lincoln boosters. In turn
