President Wilson rises higher in public esteem and in the nation's confidence as a result of the Mulhall exposures in the lobby investigation now under way before the United States senate. The president started this investigation and was laughed at and derided as being the victim of vain imaginings. What a quiet laugh he must be having now, at last and yet how bitter a laugh, for we believe President Wilson joins with all other real Americans in a feeling of shame that fellow countrymen should be discovered thus at work against the interests of the greatest number of our citizens. As to Mr. Watson's alleged share in this in

sidious lobby, this half of the whole of "invisible; government," it would be unfair to pass judgment on him at this stage of the investigation.j He is to have a chance to go before the congres-l sional investigating committee and explain hisj connection with the case. We of the district he; represented in congress so many years, we whose; votes enabled him to rise to prominence in the; councils of the country, can afford to wait until he has been heard before passing judgment upon him. Should it materialize in the end, however, : that Mr. Watson immediately on his release ini 1908 from the public's service became employed in the interests of the public enemy, predatory!

wealth, then indeed it is time such a record of duplicity and ingratitude is laid bare. Meanwhile, for the sake of former associations and for his friends' sakes, we hope Mr. Watson will conclusively prove that he did not follow a course of betrayal of the interests of his old constituents in this district.

guage they put in the mouths of American women. In a certain sense the result may do credit to their imaginative powers, but it is a good deal of a reflection upon their intelligence. There is, however, a measurable palliation of errors of this sort on the part of Englishmen. Certain of our own writers are to some extent responsible for them; none more so perhaps than Lowell, who in his Biglow Papers ravaged all New England in search of quaint words, quaint phrases, quaint colloquialisms, quaint pronunciations and quaint grammatical peculiarities, and blended them together in one volume of wise and witty sayings. Collectively, however, they have never been used by any single man or in any single community. But more responsible than all others are probably the compilers of Americanisms at least the early compilers. In their volumes little or no heed was paid to the distinction between cultivated and uncultivated speech. Furthermore, no sufficient attempt has been made to separate the local from the general. A word entitled to be called an Americanism should have at least an approach to universality. Strictly speaking, it should be familiar to the majority of the people of the country, whether they dwell in the East or in the remote West, in the Xorth or in the South. Nothing of this sort has been done thoroughly; in the earlier dicionaries it was hardly even attempted.

The New and the Old The corralling of Braxton's gambling joint camp and the rounding up of Braxton and the dupes of false fortune wantonly running the risk of losing, in the excitement of games of chance, even more than their stakes, is only incidental to a larger story.

Prosecutor Keller and Sheriff Bayer and

their deputies upheld the law of the state in conducting this raid. By their action they have shown unequivocably that their oath of office; means much to them. j The majesty of the law, when the offenders were brought to trial, was represented by Judge "Doc" Zimmerman, our august mayor and police magistrate. Now Judge "Doc" had such a highly idealistic realization of the meaning of his oath of office, that he let all the offenders go with the minimum fine in each instance. The true significance of this, in view of the fact that it was the second time Braxton had been "up" for the same offense, probably lies in that rare goodfellowship of Judge "Doc's" that always manifests itself most strongly just before an approaching elec

tion or primary; but is always more or less in!

evidence because Judge "Doc" is always mindful of his political fences. The attitude of Prosecutor Reller and Sheriff Bayer is encouraging as a promise that the day is not far distant when all our officials will be

men of sufficiently high calibre to recognize their:

duty, under their oath of office, to their community. It is refreshing, extremely so, in contrast to poor, old Judge "Doc's" antiquated and old fashioned idea. The old game is so apparent in

MINOR ENGLISH AUTHORS LIBEL THE AMERICAN WOMAN

Thomas R. Lounsbury in Harper's Magazine.

The American woman as depicted in the English novel, especially In that of the minor English novelist, uses the most extraordinary conglomeration of words and phrases that was ever raked together from the highways and byways of colloquial speech. As xepresented there, she is linguistically one of the most fearful and wonderful creations that the human imagination has ever concocted. She combines in her utterance all the time worn peculiarities which the British traveler long ago discovered and

faithfully reported to his countrymen. Necessarily she

creaks through her nose. Certain words and phrases are

constantly on her lips. She "guesses" and "fixes" to an! extent that would astound those most addicted to thei

use of the words, tone is iona or saying "jest lovely,"jest elegant." As a result of her assumed sensitiveness about employing the word leg, she is invariably particular to substitute for it limb. These and scores of othtr

u phrases which have done duty for generations are assum-!

ed to adorn her speecn on an occasions. If the portrait' to drawn from life, one is naturally led to wonder what

sort of American women those are who manage to get! Into reputable English circles; for it is there that theyi are represented as appearing. They certainly could notj get Into similar circles in their own land. It is, in truthj a libel upon cultivated English society to represent such persons as having effected an entrance into it. The nov-' elists appear to felicitate themselves in all sincerity upon their success in reproducing American speech in the lan-

referred matters of importance, such as war and peace, to the whole people. This was referendum, pure and simple. As early as 1820 statutes appeared in the United States authorizing towns, counties and states to use initiative referendum. Local option is initiative referendum. The referendum is today resorted to in one form or another in every state, county and town in this country. From 1826 to 1847 the courts of the various states were one after another declaring referendum to be constitutional. Referendum Already Established. Now, since the referendum is an established feature of our government, has been used by us for over a century and a half, has been extended to cover a great multitude of questions, and is today employed in every state, town, county and municipality, howdoes it happen that the Socialists in their platform are demanding its "immediate adoption?" How does it come that the Socialist is trumpeting it as a "New Gospel?" How does it happen that so many people look upon it as a kind of strange, mysterious doctrine, such as theosophy, esperanta, volapuk, or pragmatism? How in the world does it come about that the average street-corner Socialist orator loads his gun with it and shoots tons of it at the people and calls it "glad tidings of great joy?" Decisions' Recall Old. Neither is the "recall of judicial decisions" new by any means. Our colonial forefathers and our predecessors under United States constitutional government had the recall nightmare bad. The people protested that the courts had no power to pass upon the legislative acts of the populac. They used the very words of the Socialist platform. For a court to render null and void a law passed by the people was "usurpation." Persona unfamiliar with the history of the rise of the American judiciary have no conception of what it has cost in fierce struggles, mobs, insurrections, violence and bloodshed to establish the supremacy of the courts over wild and unconstitutional acts of legislation. As early as 1778 the courts began to declare laws void because they were not in accordance with state constitutions. It was many years of slow evolution before the question was settled. There was fierce opposition to the "courts assuming to be superior to the people." It was said over a century ago that the "courts had no power to thwart the will of the people by declaring any law unconstitutional." As long as this condition prevailed there was chaos. There was anarchy. Oposition

to court decisions broke into open war. such as the historic "Shay's Rebellion." Would Destroy Personal Liberty. Who wants a repetition of those shameful scenes? If the fanatics and malcontents of our early days passed laws depriving Jews, Catholics and Quakers of their liberties, and the courts declared these laws void because of their res-

The United States has had the referendum since earliest colonial days. It once had the recall of judicial decisions, enforcing the "people'" wilt with clubs and scythes. This anarchy was quelled by the exercise of constitutional rights. Jews, Catholics and Quakers were persecuted in the old days of referendum and recall. Today, thanks to constitutional government, religions persecution is no more. The bigoted have only an equal chance under the constitution.

destroyed the court room and all the records. This is only one incident of a thousand of its kind. When legislatures passed laws pro

hibiting Jews. Catholics, Quakers and 1 all free-thinkers and "infidels" from voting, the courts arose above this ! narrow-mindedness of the majority j and declared such laws void. The Pu-1 ritans enacted that no one should vote 1 or hold office who was not a member j of the Presbyterian church. The courts t ruled otherwise. Then the populace ! arose and went in the "recall of ju cial decisions" business. j

In Maryland, presided over by the Catholic Governor Cecil Calvert, (or Lord Baltimore) there was no such trouble. The laws of Maryland permitted every citizen to vote and every person to worship in any religion he chose, free from persecution. The New England Puritans prayed niht

triction of natural rights then there was trouble. Our forefathers, many of whom believed in taking the law in their own hands, took their old swords and muskets and "recalled" the judges by violence. Every one of these insurrections was a blow at personal liberty, for there is no liberty unless based upon the sovereignty of a supreme law. Every one was an attack upon what Americans now cherish as "the palladium of their liberties" the sober judgment of the judiciary, calmly deciding questions far above the mob, the musket, the sword and the bayonet. Chief Justice John Marshall did more to establish this splendid principle than any other American, and the patriots of this country love and honor him for it. Now let us dwell a moment upon the fight against the courts in our early history. It was a belief in colonial days, born of a hatred for the crownappointed judges, that no court had any right to set aside a law enacted by the referendum at a town meeting or an assembly. The people were the creators, the courts were creatures. The people said in the language of the modern Socialist, that the courts "usurped their powers" when they didn't please the "knockers." Recall Produced Anarchy Once. Then they recalled the judges. They didn't use any round about way of recalling either. They went after them with bayonets and clubs, sickles and scythes. Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Connecticut were afire with anarchy and insurgency. At Worchester, Mass., a hundred armed men stopped the old revolutionary patriot. General Artemus Ward, as he tried to open the court over which he presided. The insurgents and "recallers," with levelled muskets, demanded a reversal of his recent decision. Growing angry he exclaimed. "I do not give a damn for your bayonets. You may plunge them into my heart if you like, but I have sworn to do my duty; and, by God, I will do it." Then he walked away while they

down upon the liberty loving Catholics of Maryland! Rights Were Denied. In New England, where they used the referendum and recall and fought the courts, the Jews was denied all rights because "he had crucified the Savoir, was an undesirable citizen and dangerous to good government." Laws were enacted requiring every voter to swear to the following: "I do

profess faith in God, the Father, and

Je6us Christ, His only Son and the i

Holy Ghost, in God forever more; and I do acknowledge the Scriptures of the New and Old Testament to be given by divine inspiration? I do further believe in the divine paternity of Jesus ChriBt." We owe it to such men as John Marshall that these infamous laws have gone to the Junk pile. Marshall laid it down in the case of Marbury vs. Madison that the Supreme Court could disregard any law, state or federal, which in its opinion was unconstitutional. In those days of wild theories and insane

demands we should cling to the sheetanchor of our liberties. Chief Justice Marshall still speaks to the American people in these words: "If the whole legislature should overstep the bonds of justice and equity, I would meet it and say here is the limit of your authority and hither you shall go and no farther." If Successful, The Deluge. The Socialist Is the first organized party in the history of the United States that has attacked the constitution, the Supreme Court, and the organic law with the purpose of destruction. The two parties, Democrat and Republican have fought over interpretations of the constitution: Webster and Hayne, Lincoln and Douglas debated the powers and spoke of that noble instrument but neither party nor orators ever dared question the legitimacy of either constitution or court. No other organized party has ever before called into question the integrity of the constitution and the Supreme Court. The demands of the Socialist platform are: 1. Abolition of United States Senate. 2. Referendum and recall. 3. Abolition of the power usurped by the Supreme Court of the United States to pass upon the constitutionality of legislation. 4. Constitution referred back to the people by majority vote. After that the deluge.
