Again referring to the tendencies
and the attitude of the courts oil the
present day II will be interesting TO
refer to a dispatch appearing In the
press of the country. February 9Th
1908, as follows:
The justices OF the United States
Supreme court have taken counsel to-
gether regarding the present day po-
liticnl tendencies In both parties, so
far as these seem to the justices to
menace the constitution, They have
determined that upon them rests the
burden of standing between the Con
stitutlon and popular passion. They
intend at every point TO meet these
subveIsive tendencies and defeat
them.
There is reason to believe that the
late labor decisions Of the court are
merely the beginning of a series which
viii confront the innovators at every
step, The decisions in question de-
clared unconstitutional the employers
liability act and the Erdman compul
sorry arbitration act affecting disputes
between labor and capital
THE justices are not confident that
congress can be relied upon to stand
permanently between the constitution
and what one of the justices calls
the mob. and they are determined TO
