imposes upon them the duty diligently

WRONG.


WRONG.
Judges, therefore, should in the first
place know the measure of right and
wrong which the laws they are called
upon 10 administer prescrbe-that Is TO
say, they should be learned in the law;
not merely with that learning which en-
ables them to cite authorities and TO
quote, however aptly. the ideas Of others
TO be found IN the books, but there should
be that habit Of mind which enables men
10 look through and beyond the mere
words-the husk I'm which the thought Is
clOthed-tO the thought itself. and so
grasp the vital and anlmating principle
OF the law and apply 1t to the facts. As
was said by an author replying 10 crit
icism made by some one upon Judge
Marshall, that he had not seen a case
upon which the critic relied, there are
Judges who read more cases than they
cite, and others who cite more than they
understand
mot only ought a judge to know the
law which he administers, but he should
understand the spirit Of the institutions
Of which the laws are but a part He
should be in touch With the people, and
/ know their history. their present needs.
and their aspirations for the future. JUS
tice requires that her ministers should

high calling.
