JUDGE GARY,s ExAMPLE.

a
While there is talk in New York of
the control of the judiciary" as if
judges are owned like so MANY cattle,
the death Of Judge Gary in Chicago
brings into prominence character
that has always been an example of
a Judge who was not owned or even
controlled. except by what was right.
Judge Gary was the nestor of the
Cook county judiciary. His was an
extraordinary, yet simple life. The
anecdotes of his court room as told
by the lawyers practicing there would
lutte monarch of his court room, a stu
alton that permits all the personal
peculiaritles to show themselves. JUS
tice was always placed above all else
by Judge Gary, even to the extent of
sweeping aside the technicalities of
the law IL the case demanded 1t In or
der that justice might be done. Next
to Justice came courtesy and human
nature. There was plenty of room for
both in Judge Gary's court room. He
was the example to all lawyers in both
these elements. Dignity and courtesy
were joined to make of the court the
orderly place that it must of necessity
be, but the witticisms and originality
in speech of the man on the bench
added good nature to days of dry legal
discussion.
1t may be that years ago reflections
were cast upon the integrity and doubt
expressed as to this jurist being I'M
purchasable, the same as sweeping
statements are now made about pub
lie servants, but all idle remarks about
Judge Gary were ended when he tried
the Chicago anarchists and sentenced
them. There was threat upon threat
made upon his life during that time,
but he showed his fearlessness when
duty called and tried cases with that
end in view that was always first
justice.
People talk lightly about the judi
ciary, too lightly. People who, do not
know make sweeping statements
about the possibilities and the proba-
bilites OF corruption on the bench.
People who read certain journals,
which are more and more growing into
disrepute, were likely to conclude that
the whole Cook county Judiciary was
bought and sold like cattle Can this
be true with Judge Gary as the Oldest,
and the most admired, sitting as a liv-
ing example Of honesty, integrity and
fearlessness, seeking above all else
Justice? With his life and influence
as guide to the others, are they
likely to say Judge Gary was fail
ure on the bench, we will try the other
Way?"

coast the same as he represents his
own district 1t does not occu. to
them that he has far easier access to
truth and justice than they have, by
reason Of these conferences and daily
investigation.
The conclusion of the secretary is
that if a politician tries to carch
every wind that blows his goal will
be that Of demagogueism; while
craftsmanship demands sometimes
that he run counter 10 some of them.
1t may mean retirement for a time,
but he is a greater man than if he
had played the role Of aemagogue.

DUTIES OF a CONGRESSMAN.

1t is an intellectual treat to follow the
series of speeches that Secretary Shaw
is making in Iowa as close to the
somewhat strenuous campaign. They
are more than campaign speeches.
They are lectures on political science.
The secretary is talking republication,
but he is also talking statecraft. He is
talking for his party, but he is also
talking for his country.
At Clarinda he gave an address
which deals particularly with duties
of a congressman. OF course one can
go out on the street corner and find a
dozen people who can tell what the
duties of a congressman are They
will not agree, but that makes no diff
ference, they can tell 1t off hand just
the same.
But when Secretary Shaw tells it it
is different He deals with the found
alton upon which the government
was founded, and in words that every
body can understand he shows why
it is that representative of the peo-
pie can not always afford to be sway
ed by the majority of his constituents
even though it may mean that he
shall be retired for time for not be-
ing so influenced After discussing the
procedure by which a man steps from
a private to public career, or moves
onward and upward in public ca
reer already begun, to be a represen-
tative of the people in congress, he
says:
How should our friend vote? He
represents primarily district and
secondly whole country. 1t is mani
festly his duty to listen to the advice
of every well-balanced, intelligent
man of his district, and also to every
unbalanced ignorant man in his dis
trict, if such there be. The express
sions of opinion from these sources
are to be considered and given due
weight. But how shall our friend vote?
Shall he hold himself responsive to
every wave of popular sentiment
which may affect his immediate con-
stituents, or shall he rise in his man
hood and intelligence and so speak
and so vote as, in his Judgment will
best conserve the interests Of the peo-
pie he primarily represents by best
conserving the whole country? If 1
analyze the situation correctly, it is
his duty to act always in harmony
with his party on fundamental poll
teal principles, and to dissent from
the policy Of a majority Of his poll
teal associates only when compelled
so to do by an abiding conviction. In
helping to shape the course of his
party he must voice his own judgment
even though it runs contrary to tenn
porary local sentiment"
Sometimes 1t is hard for members
OF the constituency to understand
why a congressman votes as he does
on certain questions. They forget
what Secretary Shaw says with refer
ence to his being secondly represent
tative of the whole country, and that
he is daily in conference with men
who reDtesent states from coast tol
