ROOSEVELT IN rar CsssrwuraS

President Roosevelt barrier 10 govern
nsnt supervision and control OF corporations dong
interstate business in the provisions of the constitution
Of the United States In his St Louis speech he stated
that strictly technical Interpretation of the const-
tuition might deny the people the power of govern
ment control of railways and kindred corporations,
but adds that such Interpretation would in the long
run be unjust to the corporations as 10 the people
The Presidents position is summed up in the fol-
lowing extract from his speech:
The constitution is now and must remain what
il always has been but it only be interpreted the
interests of the whole people demand if interpreted as
a living organism, designed 10 meet the conditions OF
life and not of DEATH in other words il interpreted
Marshall interpreted it, as Wilson interpreted it."
The Presidents position cannot but meet with APP
prevail from the people OF the United States Tie takes
the position that the constitution must not be inter
preted in a narrow technical spirit which would bind
the hands of the government and allow corporations
TO continue in corrupt practices with the aid OF the
courts but be interpreted in the light of present
conditions and needs TO give the government the
exercise of broad powers of control over all corpora
tions whose operations affect the people as a whole
One of the most common criticisms Of our courts
is that law is so technically construed that justice and
equity are constantly being defeated Criminals
escape the consequence of their msdeeds because of
technical rulings; escape payment Of just debts
from the same cause. The object for which laws and
courts were created is often defeated in this way.
The constitution was created 10 give power and
force both the executive and the legislative branches
OF the government. Ii designed broad lines
as were possible at the time of its framing CEN
fury and quarter ago. Its spirit is to give to the
people absolute power OF government through their
representatives and any Interpretation OF the const-
tuition which denies them that power would be VIC
laton OF the spirit OF the constitution il not OF
strict technical Interpretation Of its letter.
Roosevelt is right in insisting that the great rail
way and other corporations which violating the
laws OF the land shall be allowed 10 the con-
sttuton as a shield to protect themselves from the
efforts of the government to control their acts. He
insists Interpretation OF the constitution as
broad as its spirit. The people should approve his
position and make their approval felt within the con
fines Of the supreme court.
Public sentiment is the source OF all law. Law
makers listen it when they draft laws; courts are
apt to listen to it when they interpret laws Public
demand for broad Interpretation of the constitutional
powers OF the government to control corporations IS
apt to prevent any strict technical decision the
subject from the supreme court which would tend to
defeat the present fight for justice for the people at
the hands Of corporations
