SOME GOOD CONES OF AN I'LL WIND.

SOME GOOD CONES OF AN ILL WIND.
As soon as the shylocks and the
monopolists decided to try to control
the courts Of this country in their
own interests, they commenced At
once through their organs to try to
inspire hepeople with awe-to throw
. kind Of mystic sentiment and halo
around the judicial ermine.
1t 10 just and proper that the peo-
pie should have great respect for
their courts, but We must remember
that those who wear the judicial
ermine as judges are simply human
beings who inherit the same weak
nesses and frailtles that the most of
poor, weak humanity is heir to.
1t is commendable in q newspaper
to strive to inspire the people with
confidence in our Judiciary, il it is
done from a proper and pure motive.
We regret that there should ever be
any cause to shake the confidence Of
the people in our courts Of last resort.
1t behooves the courts, however, to
conduct themselves in such q man
ner as to maintain and sustain the
confidence Of the people.
But our object now is to call atten-
ton to the vicious attacks which
some Of these monopoly organs are
making on the members of the Su.
preme court of the United States
who voted to sustain the income tax
They are not satisfied at getting q
majority of the court on their side
but they are calling Justice Harlan
and the other dissenting justices
anarchists" Some Of the shylocl
organs have gone SO far as to cartoon
them as the "red specter of revolu
ton" And thus these organs are
now themselves tearing away thu
halo which they themselves had hunt
around the court for their own selfist
purposes. They intended to max,
the court the stronghold of mono
poly. The people will now begin t.
see that these shylock organs viii
not stop at calling Populist an an
archist, but they are ready to brant
with that epithet any one who dare
to stand for the people and the con
stitutlon. 1t is we'll that they hav'
gone to such extremes. "Whom tn,

1t doesn't require much wisdom to
understand why Justice shiras
changed. Somebody had to change

enough people. Get up club at
