pecially unce Chief Justice John Marshall made no bones of It. Chief Justice Rn-'er "Brooke Taney applied it merely to his liking in the notorious- Ired Scott decision. Neither is modern history exempt. Take the income tax ca.se and the insular cases decided by the bench over which Chief Justice Melville W. l-ullcr presided. In the ;irst of these a changed opinion by Mr. Justice Hrown unmade that law over niuht, back in the early nineties, alom; absolutelj political lines, republicans being in the majority. The insular cases are thos wherein it was held that the "constitution does not follow the flag" inte I'orto liico, Hawaii and the Philippines, again alun, absolutely political lines, the republicans being in the majority. Acid to these some 40 acts of congress ami of the .arious state legislatures that found their way to the supreme court and that have been unmade during the 'ast one-and-a-half decades, in a large majority of the cases, in keeping with the political complexion of the majority of the judges. In the face of all this, we will concede that Mr. Hughes has only gone a tritle farther than th bench has been goinir. all the while at an increased rate of speed, throughout the past century or more. In fact, he has merely lifted the veil quite entirely, presenting the farce in -is fullest hideoiisness. This condition of things is what gave rise a few years ago to the agitation for the recall of judges. As to questions involving the constitutionality of a law, Theodore Ilooscvelt four years ago championed the recall of judicial decisions a.- a remedy. About the beginning of this century one of the big questions puzzling the bench and bar of America was the rapid growth of judge-made law. Now it seems to be more of a question of judge-unmac" c law-. When the people, through their legislatures, o. congress, pass a bill, and throngh the channels of erntest it gets to the supreme court where it is found to have i political complexion contrary to that of a majority of the judges, out she oes, and the work of the legislature or of congress is undone. Talk about bureaucracy in Russia. In its palmiest days it couldn't holä a candle to the supreme court of the United States. Whi highly dependable when the question before it is of a non-political nature, or when the law involves a principle upon which the political parties are agreed, still its political activities in the construction and unmaking of laws behind which stand principles which are in dispute, simply make the Hussion bureaucracy look amateurish. And from the bar of that court there lies no appeal. Mr. Roosevelt proposed an appeal to the bar of humanity, hut tl at would ! cumbersome and we doubt if it would be practical. We merely mention these

things in passing to show the lack of non-political ethics on the supreme bench a possible excuse for Mr.

Hughes, in what we have previously termed his extrajudicial actions, provided he has the open and above board nerve to adopt it. And we ale merely talking here w'r.ai the lawyers themselves are talking among themselves in a professional way, and of matters with which the legal publications are full. R. M. Wanamaker, judge of the supreme court of Ohio, most severely arraigns the supreme court of the United States in a recent issue of the Saturday evening Post, and even William Howard Taft, from his chair as professor of law at Yale, has not been so very sparing along the same line; particular reference heing made to the politico-judicial activities of the bench. Prof. Taft excoriates the Rooseveltian remedy the recall of judicial decisions. and believes a more patriotic, politically colorless, open-minded personnel, with certain amendments to the rules of the court, would be suMieient for all purposes. Judge Wanamaker proposes an amendment to the rules, requiring that all decisions unmaking laws declaring them unconstitu

tional. should be by the unanimous opinion of the bench, applying the rule of "reasonable doubt" and of "moral certainty" the same as it is applied in requiring the un.inii.ious verdict of jurors in criminal cases. The presumption, he holds, should be in favor of the constitutionality of the act. and at least not more than one dissenting opinion should be permitted. This would permit the minority party, as represented on the bench, to hold the majority somewhere near into line. It is not that the judges are dishonest, but that their partisanship colors their honesty, and with a bi-partisan bench, as we have usually had. a unanimous opinion on the constitutionality of a law or even one with a single dissenter, would pretty nearly prove that there was no politics, or "reasonable doubt" to it. In the face of these conditions, our mistake, if any. in criticising Mr. Hughes as we have, has Keen due to our worshipping a fetich, same as his republican defenders have been doing presuming the supreme court to be an ethical body in keeping with the spirit of the

federal constitution, rather than the non-ethical body, sc far as politics goes, that it really is. We see in it therefore, the best excuse in the world for Mr. Hughes to say he is a judicial iconoclast, and that, realizing the thickness of the average American head, he determined to do something rnw enough in violation of the pretended ethics of the court, that maybe the populace could see. Why not make of him a self-made martyr.

and repub- dear republican friends, to a noble cause? i f course.

WASHINGTON'. Jim- 24 A friend of Rep. Scott of Michigan, named Hicks was working one winter in a Michigan lumber camp. One f the -Swede lumber jacks In the camp used to have Hicks act as his amanuensis when he wrote' home to his wife. Hicks would sit down on a soap box with a ä-cent tablet in his hand and the Swede would dictate. They were not fervent love letters that the Swede dictated. Rut Hicks made them so. When the Swede wrote about the number of logs he had hewn in a given period. Hicks ran in a few sentences about how one appreciates one's wife when one is separated from her and how one yearns for the caresses of the woman of his choice. He would run in post

scripts about the marvelous beauty ot her plump figure and asked her if she was still wearing her hair the same way. The whole missive was punctuated with words of affection and endearment. The wife, presumably was some concerned over the hitherto unsuspected epistolary prowess of her lord and master. She wrote back asking him if he was sure he wasn't working too hard, for she felt sure he must have an attack f some sort of fever. Hicks read aloud the letters from the wife to the husband, for the latter was no more adept at reading script than he was at writing same. Hicks couldn't always read them

himself, for the wife had a system of chirography that was her own. Rut he invariably supplied enough to pad out the missive to a proper length and make it entertaining and fervent. One day. right at the busy time of the season, the Swede quit his job to go on a journey. The boss asked him what was up. "I tank." says he. "that I'll go see mah wife. He miss me so." Hicks ex pec ted to hear of him getting killed when he got home, but he didn't. To the contrary, that Swede and his wife were the most devoted couple in all northern Michigan.

Wli'V IS IT? Rvery time you -ee recruits drilling you recall the story of the fond mother who. witnessing a company of which her son was a membfr drilling remarked: "Everybody's out of step by Johnny." Said (Jen. Trevino to (Jen. Pershing: "Don't move .south or east or west." Said (Jen. Pershing to (Jen. Trevino; "I'll move my troops as I think best."

"I don't know him." she said, only danced with him."

Apparently there is a lot of satisfaction in predicting what's going to happen next in a movie picture show. "He's going to move the (lock back," a woman next to us whispered. And he did and she said: "Ho. he. he."

Some of our best known humorous publications are made bright occasionally by a tale with a point clipped from some exchange. o Seriously speaking. the funniest thing we know is a numerous magazine trying to be serious. o No man can tell what will happen in Mexico. Gauging the Mexican mind is impossible. o Villa, if alive, has played dead for a long while. A scribe at Terre Haute calls our hurler "Paris" Green. We see no reason unless it be that "Paris" Green is hard to down. "Roosevelt." said the baseball fan, who forgot batting averages in order to talk politics. "is an individual player. He will either fan in the pinch or knock a home run. You'll never catch him sacrificing." A recipe for cleaning marble is requested by a correspondent. "We suggest he see some reliable barber.

And ask a guy to show you the depot. "When he looks at you, shrugs his shoulders And then answers back: "I dona know." We have heard it called many things, but it remained for an ad to speak of it as "the lassitude of spring." "Funston Keeps- Anxious Watch." pays headline. No relation, we suppose, to the ankle or wrist variety. "Stern Refusal to Withdraw May Rring War." You never can tell what a stern refusal will bring. o

MR. HKYAN AM TUT PR I l DENT. (New York World. It was a fine thing for the democrats at St. Louis to invite Mr. Cry an to address them. Even finer was the manner and the method of his response. If in tact, loyalty and generosity his remarks left nothing to he desired, ihe favor with which they were received by the representatives of a great party was alike creditable to them. Whatever may have been the motive of Mr. Rryan in retiring from the ahmet, there can now be no doubt of his sincerity. At that time his protestations of friendship for the president were openly questioned. ' 'n all sides there were critics who predicted! rivalry if not open hostility on the former secretary's part. Only a week ago. in the progressive convention, a speaker referred to him as a possible successor of Mr. Roosevelt as the leader of a new radical movement. Time may not have justified the f.-ars which caused Mr. Rryan to abandon high o:!b e. but it has shown that he was honest, and assuming that he was mistaken, that he has th courage t admit his error. Thi year, as fruir years ago. he will be ore of Mr. Wilsorfs mot powerful 1 n d 1 vi d u a 1 su p porters.

ELEPHANT TKUMPirrs IX)Il THE MOOSE. ( Logansport Pharos-Reporter.) The republicans have been put to sorry straits in their attempt to pet back where the fire burns bright on the old home hearth and the buckwheat cakes and juicy pork chops of political preferment adorn the table. They are not repentant like the prodigal son. but are just hungry and want to come back and live in the house again without changing clothes or taking a bath. In th" tirst place it hadn't a man outside of the prison bars f the supreme coii't, where they don't dare to say anything, that hadn't talked himself "in had" with the whole country. Nj man in the republic. in party who had opened his mouth but had put his foot in it. and not a mother's son of the fellows outside the bars, and there were plenty of them with their foot on the brass rail, but had allowed his sentiments to be known and were anathema with the neorde of the country. 3o

they stormed the supreme court castle where there dwelt a man who had not broken silence for a long tipie and had thus broken the republican record. Nobody knew where he stood on public questions, for he had been sitting on the bench until the sound of his voice hail been forgotten. He retired behind the sacred walls of the court before things had begun to happen and had kept still ever since. Nobodv could say he was against anybody or anything, for he hadn't said a word. Nobody could tell what he would do when he g it out if perchance he could be gotten out. for he wouldn't talk. Sei there was the person to put on the ticket. : new horn, freshly incubated piece of raw material that would bear the impression put upon him and coual be molded inte whatever shape the leaders wanted and new words could be put into h's mouth and his pen would indi'e the things desired.
