The Constitutional Amendment.

The amendment to the state constitu-
ton which will be voted upon in Novem-
Der providing for an increas3 in the men,
bership of the supreme court should be
defeated. In June we gave reasons why
this amendment should be defeated. We
wish now briefly to refer to the same sub
ject again. The courts now have too much
power and are too far removed from the
people. The appellate court is better for
the people than the supreme court, but
it is unnecessary. A large part of the
business of the higher courts is reversing
cases decided against corporations and
for the individual in the district court.
One case in Sumner county has been ap-
pealed three times. Each time the dis
trict court gave a judgment of about
5000 against the Frisco railroad to an
employe for the loss of an arm. The de-
cision is just; but the supreme court
sends it back for new trial until the
man shall be worn out and accept one
fourth of the amount or less. Make it
impossible for the higher courts to spend
their time in defeating justice in this
way. Make the decisions of the district
court final in larger number Of cases.
Keep the administration Of justice nearer
the people. Decrease rather than in
crease all legal business. 1t will be
much easier to increase than to decrease
the number of judges of the supreme
court. We give also this week an edito-
rial from the Commoner upon the same
subject. This is matter which should
be given more attention than it has been.
Defeat the amendment. Do not let the
corporations gain another advantage.
