JUDGE CLARK's RESPONSE.

The "Times-Herald" of Chicago Sc
lected one justice of the highest court
in each state and addressed him let
ter, enquiring as to the legality Of in
functions in labor disputes, against Ia
borers quitting work or moving about
the country, and as to the proper rem
edy for the abuse. For this State
it selected Judge Clark. Below We
give his response, which upholds the
freedom of the citizen and the right of
trial by jury.
EDITOR T1MEs-HERALD, Chicago, Ill,
1R:-1n response to your inquiry,
the new practice of issuing in functions
in labor disputes, in its scope, is with.
out warrant in reason or precedent. 1t
is bald usurpation by judges who
have been appointed to life positions
by the influence of great corporations
and who are under no responsibility for
their conduct. 1t is denial to the
citizen of the right of trial by jury, by
judges who enact the law by their own
DEGREES and then execute it by the PEN
atty for contempt.
The remedy is by q constitutional
amendment which shall make the Uni
ted States Judges elective by the peo-
! pie in their respective districts and cir
Gu ts for term of years. That public
sentiment endorses this corrective
power of placing the judiciary under
the supervision of public opinion il
shown by thu fact that in every State,
except three, the judges now hold for
q fixed term, and in those three they
are removable by q vote of . bare ma
jority of the legislature. As to the
U. s. Judges, they are selected without
the public having any voice In their
selection and ordinarily by influences
that are hostile to popular rights they
are subject to no restraint, as impeach-
ment is impracticable. and they assume
to set aside the acts of Congress and to
stay the action of the Executive-At
their will. That, possessed of this ar.
bitrary and supreme power (Which
should be entrusted to no set of men)
and by reason of their life tenure
(Which is unrepubljcan) subject to no
supervision, there are nOtwithstand-
ing many worthy men still among the
Federal Judges is tribute to the spir-
it and training of our institutions. The
history of the last few years demon
strates that we can trust no longer to
this. Arbitrary and supreme power
will debauch its possessOrs. IL has al
ways done 80. Judges are no exception
to this principle of human nature.

Mr.. T. r. 0vestou, Of CresWell, y. G.
Farmer on the school question says:
~If We farmers could get better
prices for our produce, the majority Of
US would undonbs edly be in favor Of
being taxed higher for the benefit Of
schools and in order to secure longer
term. provided the money Was spent
fer the benefit Of the children and not
81 en-. to f~e so many unpro fta BILE or
us Il. 50 county school officers. In that
way, much money that should be used
for the b.nstit OF the children 10 spent
to no purpose"
lf.very farmer was rich he could
afford 10 send his children of to .
college, or to the city graded schools,
or to some good academy to be educst-
ed. The v-ry fact that farming 10 %
unprofii able makes it necessary for IS
children out Of every hundred to grow
up in ignorance unless = good public
school is run in each neighborhoo 90
the children can board at home and
help on the farm mornings and even
lngs aud Saturdays, and sill get =
good educa ion.
Oar boys and girls must grow up
Ignorant or We must have letter p"i .
| lie hOols.
The defects which Mr.. Ov-rtOn
points out existed under the old school
law, but the new law cures ell these
defects. The new township Law will
make our schools better and give long
er terms without any extra taxation
After the people see that the school
money will not be wasted, but handled
wisely under the new township system
then they will be willing TO vote the
local township tax whenever it shall
be found necessary.
If our children are to be educated II
is the cheapest way to do it. 1t is the
only way thst a majority of the chill
dren will ever get an education as lons
a. we stay under the gold STANDARD
and the prices of farm products stay
low.
We should have a graded school in
every township, just as the cities nov
have. The city graded schools are ruI
by local taxation, the county graded
schools [if we ever have them) mus
also be run by local taxation. IL il
the cheapest way to have good schools
