Is the Constitution Outworn?

Dc Tocqueville, in his Democracy In

Jefferson in a letter to Madison. 10 the
effect that the tyranny Of the Legisla-
ture was his chief fear for the present
and that the tyranny that might be. ex-
pected from the executive would come,
but come later. There was. therefore,
good reason for the trainers OF the Con-
stltution Of 1857 not to throw all power
into the hands OF the voters. Chief JUS
tice Clark. of North Carolina, pointed out
Friday in striking address Just how
little power the people were given under
the Constitution. According TO him,
'of the three great departments Exccu-
tive. Legislature and Judicial the Consti-
tuition gave to the pople the choice Of only
one-sixth. !, G., one-half OF the Leglsla-
tive, and that the weakest half. The

dent at third hand by electors originally
chosen by the State Legislatures, and
tho judiciary at fourth hand. being ap-
pointed by the President and confirmed
by tho Senate, and made irresponsible by
being appointed for life
But II by no means follows that the
Constitution Is, therefore. an outworn
misht that must be discarded. While
there is much to be said against the
power OF the United states Chief Exc

judges. yet the history OF State legis-
lation in America viii bear out the state
ment that the judges appointed by the
governors ~ se in the main, equalled.
