Judge Humphrey Replies to
RooseveIt's Criticism Over
Beef Decision
In ADDRESS At SPRINGFIELD
Declares No Nation Can Long Survive
When judiciary Yields to Pop
uIar Frenzy.

Springfield, H., Jan. 23.-The first
expression from Judge J. Otis Hum
phrey in reply TO the criticism direct
ed against him by President Roose-
welt because of his unpopular decision
in the beef trust case was made in an
address yesterday at meeting of the
Springfie!. Adj Mems club.
There are many citizens whose ac-
ton is such that they at least allow
us To believe that they expect the jul
dicial department Of the government
to be ruin in accordance with public
sentiment" said Judge Humphrey.
when the day comes-let us trust
that it may never come-that the judi
cial branch of government is swerved
from its official duty by the clamor of
the populace, the end of the govern
ment is not far distant.
Must Not Yield to Frenzy.
mo government can long survive
whose judiciary yields TO the popular
frenzy that follows for moment the
mere clamor of the unreasOning, I'M
educated. in that particular case, opin-
ion of the public or even of the press.
Law is not the simple law of the
major number, differing from the will
Of yesterday and TO differ from the
will of tomorrow. Law IS not the ar
bitrary creation of major will or of
any WILL but it ought to be. as We
trust it will ever be. the well rounded,
well considered justice of the state,
= enlightened by the Ieasonings of the
court which eniOrces it. You would
have little respect, think, for a court
who curbed his views TO meet the
popular clamor."
Recalls Acqmittal of Burr.
Judge Humphrey referred TO the de-
csion of Chief Justice Marshall, whom
he declared to be the greatest judicia!
character the world has produced, in
the celebrated Aoron Burr case, when
the public was wildly clamoring for
Burr's conviction on a charge of trea-
son. He emphasized the force of char
acter necessary for Justice Marshall
to acquit the man in the face of public
demand for his conviction.
when | think of Marshall in his
great action in the Burr case" de-
clared Humphrey. Il cannot but regard
him as having made a perpetual call
on American judges of all succeeding
ages to stand for the administration
of the law as it is written and stand
above the waves of the popular voice
to stand so high that popular criti-
cism can never reach him, and, hav-
ing done ALL to stand"
