Both the Democratic and Populist
platforms reflect severely upon the
supreme c0ur, Of the United States and
call for a change in It's constitution
This arises naturally from certain receDt
decisions Of that body which mas not at
all suited the popular ideal, aud It may
be that the demand will become 50 per
sistent as to work change IN the OF
ganization Of the supreme court It Is
certainly a fact however it may be ac-
counted for, that the most recent deci-
sions Of the highest tribunal IN this land
have looked towards the sustaining Of
the vested Interests Of capita. rather than
conserving the liberties Of the people.
This Is but natural perhaps, IN view Of
the fact that capital has such a tremend-
Gus advantage, il all courts of law, with
the consequence that Is interests are
emphasized TO the exclusion Of individ-
ual right. The ablest lawyers are al
ways corporation lawyers, and the rights
Of property occupy by far the largest
snare Of Judicial attention. However,
no matter what may be thought Of the
/ proposition 70 reOrganize the supreme
court on a more Democratic basis, it is
/ false and wicked to call it 'anarchislic -
/ The constitution Of the United States /;
ont so eternaliy infalIiDIe that it may
/ not be improved.
