The People and the Court.

The resolutions adopted by the Ne
braska State Railway commission Jug
costing to the president that he give
no consideration to any lawyer who
has been the retained or salaried law
oflcer Of, a railroad for appointment
to the supreme court vacancy, raises a
lot of delicate questions. It suggests
that the battle between the people and
the railroads Is still on and that no
lawyer trained in a railroad office
would give the people a square deal on
the supreme bench. 1t further sug-
gests that the supposed leaning or
bias Of the lawyer before he goes on
the bench cannot be overcome after
he assumes the judicial robes, and
that If there is to be any bias or lean
ing it should be for the people and
against the railroads.
These suggestions are calculated to
strike the popular mind favorably. We
certainly do not want a supreme court,
or any other court, packed with rail-
road lawyers, and the same thing
could be said of corporation lawyers
in general, but still 1t is we'll known
that the best legal talent in the u
try is for the most part engaged In
corporation work. We certainly do
MOI want second rate lawyers sitting
oil our highest bench.
This leads the Chicago Examiner to
insist that the end desired is not to
be gained by putting up the bars
against railroad lawyers aspiring to
judicial appointment, but that the real
objection is TO the life tenure which
makes the federal court absolutely in
dependent Of and immune to the pres
sure OF public opinion. 1t digs up the
old plan Of Thomas Jefferson to make
the supreme judges terms for six
years and subject to confirmation BY
a majority OF the members Of both
houses Of congress. for the express
purpose Of making the court amenabIe
to the popular will-al Of which is in
teresting. but hardly pertinent any
more than oft-repeated MT. Bryan's
demand that all federal judges be
elective.
What the people want on the SUI
preme bench is the very best legal
ability to be found-no lowering Of
standards-no forfeiture OF the con-
hdence in its Integrity and probity,
which the court has enjoyed for more
than a hundred years.

When stock market manipulation

criminal rapacity responsible for the
situation. Attorney General Wicker.
sham has therefore undertaken a
splendid duty in his attempt to break
the cotton pool n punish those who
formed it, and he should have the full
advantage of every power and facility
at the command of the Department of
Justice. He will need it, for he has
essayed a formidable task, one with
out precedent in the annals of trust
prosecution on whose outcome hang
tremendous consequences.
Twenty-Five per cent of the opera
tors Of the cotton mills are idle today
because a few men have gained con-
troll of the market, fixing prices at
will. They have already advanced
those prices so far above the normal
that manufacturers have reduced their
output rather than buy at the exorbi-
tant figures, throwing out of employ
ment 20 per cent of their operators as
a result. 1t is much to the credit of
the attorney general that he instituted
action Immediately this startling m
formation reached him.
Seldom if ever in the Vaccinations
of stock market gambling have as
fragrant examples of specializing In
staple articles Of commerce been dis
closed. The chief manipulation has
boosted of his power and plan to domi-
nate the market, throttle competition
and control legitimate dealers as he
will, and has come perilously near
making good on his vaunted defiance.
The government could not afford to
let this challenge of its authority go
unanswered, any more than it could
afford to permit such complete VIC
lation Of the rights of other people for
no better purpose than the aggrandize-
ment of INSCRIPTIONS get-rich-quick
men.
We have too much artificial upset
ting of the law of supply and demand
in u processes Of business already
and we can hope for no better oppor-
tunity of starting back to the leglti-
mate basis of honest business than
this case affords. Mr.. Wickersham's
promptness and vigor in taking hold
of this irritating situation gives as
surance Of his determination to go the

Nothing in these figures justifies the

railroad magnates are making as an
excuse for raising the general level OF

since the industrial east is also meas

While the south is prosperous, the
