APPEAL TO THE BAR
JUSTICE BREWER SPEAKS BE-
FORE NEW JERSEY CLUB.

NEW YORK, February 16.-In an elo-
quent address, the subject of which was "A
Good Time Coming" delivered before the
Outlook Club Of .Montclair, Justice David j.
Brewer Of the United States Supreme Court,
said:
THAT which Is true Of the individual is
true Of the race. We know not its origin,
but one thing is clear that in the beginning
of life might ruled the race. The strongest
man was supreme and in the pursuit Of the
thought Of supremacy there was no ques
ton OF right. The controlling thought was
that of might. The big stick was swung
long before Theodore Roosevelt was Presi.
dent.
Subsequently the question arose why
man should deprive his Heighbor of the
small voice. which no other voice can
drown, and which one disregards only at
his peril. began to ask Is 1t right?'
Step Toward Civilization.
"Down through the ages the question has
been repeated until now we seek to regu-
late the irrepressible conflict between the
pocketbook and muscle. The recognition
of the judicial power then in the settlement
Of disputes was q great step forward in the
march Of civiiization.'
Justice Brewer deprecated the tendency
to restrict the scope Of judicial action, es-
pecially In regard to questions of immi-
grafton, and held that while the question
was one affecting personal liberty full
and free examination In the courts should
be resorted to.
Government by injunction is an easy
denunciation, but the restraining power OF
court of equity is worth more to the nation
that the administration Of a criminal cour,
OF law said the Justice. 1T is far better
to eradicate filth by education than to take
those who have grown up in the vice anG
punish them for wrong doing. The restrain.
ing force of court of equity should be en-.
larged instead of reduced.
All efforts are In vain unless backed by
powerful, vigorous public opinion
Makes Strong Plea.
Justice Brewer made strong appeal te
the members of his profession to so moli
their conduct by their lives and their teach
ings as to make real the purposes Of the
law and thus hasten the coming of the bet
ter day.
mo transfer from a judicial to a DO.
litical life is harmonious he said. "A
corrupt judiciary and a feeble bar are Ger
tain indications of descending nation
Justice enters as an abiding and controlling
force. All of human hope and aspiration
have passed into its structure and color
But 1t will crumble into dust unless there
runs through it the thread of equal exac
and universal Justice"
