The reop,. SIN Rule.

Washington In his farewell address
said the basis Of our political system
was 'the right of the people to make
and unmake." The trusts aud corpora
lions have been created by the state,
therefore the power that made them
has the power to control and even to
unmake them. AS long as corporations
confine their operations to legitimate
ends for minimizing the cost of pro-
duction and marketing and reducing
the price of their products, or transpor-
tation, they were a blessing. But now
when the corporations restrain trade
and combines are created to defeat
competition and control legislatures and
courts and pay Of their ill-gotten
gains to elect presidents, they violate
the laws and become a menace to
free people. The trusts and corpora
lions have almost universally become
criminals and In league with the DOM
inant political party tney divide the
spoils of which they have plundered
the people. Laws, such as the tariff.
have been so distorted that instead of,
as originally intended, furnishing mon
ey to run the government they now
plumber the many to enrich the few.
Is 1t any wonder that the people are
universally demanding that these over
grown trusts lie eurbed and the charges
of the railroad corporations be regu-
lated? T. Say that this cannot be done
Is to put hes combines above all law
and supe. pr h the sovereign power Of
the state anu tife PEOPLE.
Under the REPUBLICAN policies, which
have fostered these giant corporations
and have aided them in establishing a
modern feudal system, which Is diff
cult TO overthrow the cost of living
has advanced 46 Ter cent and the cry
from the people for relief is over
told this result, and for years have de-
manded that the people be preserved
from these plunderers by wise restric-
ttors, but the Itch for the almighty
dollar blinded the eyes Of majority
Of the voters for time. Now, most
Of them are turning again to Demo
cratic policies, for the burden Of the
trusts and corporations IS lntolerable,
but 1t is no easy task to undo the harm
that has been done and prevent it in
the future. But the people who Gre
ated can unmake and special privil-
eyes can be revoked, and will be, when
the voters elect honest representatives
In State and nation who will return to

Dread of the Courts.

The Springfield Republican, which
has long been regarded as one Of the
most enlightened newspapers In the
world, concludes long article on the
Senate debate on the rate bill, US fol-
lows:
1.-The great constitutional lawyers
will evidently continue to dispute and
wrangls and creep about uncertainty,
shying at every whisper of what will
be the opinion of the judges. And in
this, as Senators and representatives
Of the people, they do bear striking
testimony to the overshadowing power
obtained by the judiciary In the gov
eminent Of the nation. 1t is not with
them what the people may want or
what Congress thinks they ought to
have, but what the courts will demand
or exact. This is condition forced
upon them and beyond their control"
No act Of Congress can be operative
upon which the Supreme Court has
once placed the seal Of its disapproval,
and any act, whether constitutional or
not, may be carried into execution un-
less that court has dlsapproved it. The
court, therefore, is in reality the leg
islature of the Union. Its members
hold Office for life, and are not respon-
sible to the people for any official act.
1t Is practically irresponsible, but 1t
is very fur from being infallible. If
our system of government has broken
down In any part, the defect will be
found In the responsibility and the
"oyershadowing power" of the Federal
judiciary. Men whose opinions have
the effect of laws, and may override
or annul laws, should be held respon-
sible directly to the people. The men,
bers of the Supreme Court should be
elected as the President and Vice Pres
ident are. The present system is I'M
doubtedly failure. Jefferson foretold
this encroachment of the Federal 1u-
dietary and advised that their appoint
ment should be limited to stated
term.
