THE CONSTITUTION.

In words OF truth and sOberness
MI. William B. Hornblower puts be-
fore the voters of the country some
of the weightest considerations TO be
urged In this campaign in behalf of
the Democratic nominees Address
ing the College Mems Parker and
Davis Club, Mr.. Hornblower says:
"The candidate of the Democratic
party in the embodiment OF sound,
conservative constitutionalism He IL
by temperament and conviction a be-
lever in and defender OF the funda'
mental principles which lie at the
basis of our free Government. Upon
his clear-sighted ability and his frm
and unfinching loyalty TO law we can
rely without fear or hesitation"
Are these words OF truth too sober
ly put to interest and convince the
voters? They are in the tone and
spirit of Judge Parker's speech. There
is no big stick" in them; there is
no demand for Rails Uli dead" there
is nothing about snapshot recogni'
ton of three-day.old instructions IA
sovereign states: Mere is neither the
roar OF guns nor the smell of saltpet'
er-not even a sheer at cravens and
weaklings. Are the American voters
so constituted that those who appeal
to their minds and consciences must
do so to the accompaniment OF thun-
derons cannonade? Must there be
ginger and pepper, decorating figures
of speech in every argument intended
to assist them in making up their
minds?
These are serious matters OF which
Mr.. Hornblower speaks, of which Mr.
Parker spoke in his address OF ac.
ceptance. There Is no more serious
issue than the Constitution. and the
Constitution IL an issue in this cam
pAign. This Is Government OF laws,
not of men. On the Isthmus of Pan
anna and in Pension Order No. 70
President Theodore Roosevelt has
made il a Government of men. not OF
laws. If In these three years when
he was President by succession his
great stride has taken him so far
beyond the safe bounds of the Con
stitatlon, II he has already trodden
upon so many OF the fundamental
principles. what might he be expect
cd 10 do in four years term as an
elected president?
No voter need be troubled by any
such doubts as TO Judge Parker =
course. Upon his firm and unfiineh'
ing loyalty TO law we can rely with
ont fear or hesitation. New York

ON THE OTHER FOOT

WASHINGTON dispatches say that the State
Department has. no doubt rightly, addressed
a vigorous protest to the Mexican government
against an utterly inadequate sentence imposed
by a local court upon one Hermalao Torres, a
petty Judge, for instigating the murder of two
American citizens. The sentence was merely
Imprisonment for ten months and a small fine.
1t is said that the local court shielded Torres,
and that he has threatened other foreigners.
a protest against any such failure to protect
American citizens in Mexico is just This ma
ton cannot allow its citizens anywhere to be
wronged with impunity. We do not know what
answer will be made by Mexico. If it did tell
us that it was as helpless TO dictate to the
local courts were. that would be no valid
defence, but it would be a III quoque pointed
enough 10 set us thinking and perhaps reform
ing our own laws. A few years ago some ltal-
ian citizens were murdered in New-Orleans.
The local courts there protected the murderers,
Just like the local courts in the district or
Fuerte, Mexico. and the Italian government
lodged strong protests against our failure to
see that our local courts gave adequate SAFE
guards to its citizens. We could only answer
that the government had no control over the
local courts. and could not secure convictions,
no matter how clear the outrage. Not
caring 10 resort TO extreme measures to enforce
its treaty rights. Italy, after showing its dis
pleasure. consented to accept money indem-
nifty for the families Of its murdered citizens IN
lieu OF proper punishment of the murderers.
The United States thus was extricated from
an awkward situation. 1t may not always be
so fortunate and. even if its power makes Its
pOsition safe it is not Just, and foreign natonS
have the same right to complain of lis that we
have to complain of Mexico Several Presidents
have recommended that jurisdiction over cases
involving invasion of the treaty rights of for
eigners be vested by Congress in the federal
courts The Constitution makes this posSlple'
but the function has been left to the State
courts through the neglect of Congress. The
United States cannot consistently demand that
other nations protect its citizens and take such
measure Of control over the administration OF
Justice as that may require without Itself tax
ing the necessary measures to protect foreign
ers here from being wrOnged with impunty.
The Jurisdiction of the federal courts should
be extended TO this class of cases without fur
Their delay.
