RECALL OF JUDGES

Senator owen of Oklahoma arose in
ais place yesterday and delivered
himself of an impeachment of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
suggesting, as a remedy for the evils
which he discerns in that august
body, the recall of judges great and
small, both state and federal.
Senator owen argues that the re-
call of judges in the state of Oregon
has not been used once in ten years.
He says there is no danger of the re-
moval of judges prematurely by an
infatuated public. He is of the opin-
ion that the recall will have a healthy
effect on the judiciary.
The recall of judges will never be
a useful implement of government
until the time comes when the peo-
pie are able to take on themselves
the responsibility for legal decisions.
1t is quite certain that the recall can
not be advocated on the ground that
it will tend to render judges honest.
for they are already amenable to the
people in that respect and may be
impeached for crookedness. The
sole effect of the recall provision
must be to influence judges in their
decisions, and leave them with one
eye on the law book and the other on
the newspaper.
A Judge should be left as free as
possible from any outside influence
He is to be guided in the rendering
of his decisions by the law alone, not
by the expressed desire of the peo-
pie. The instant a judge ever allows
personal feelings of justice or right
in any case to weigh with him against
the law. at that instant he becomes
dictator of the law and not an in
terpreter of it. The instant he lis
tens to popular appeal and frames his
words to avoid a recall, at that in
slant he usurps the function of the
legislative branch of government, and
his usefulness as a judge ceases.
The movement for the Dcall Of
Judges originates perhaps, in the dis
satisfaction harbured by some of the
more reactionary thinkers who chafe
under any condition wherein the Ju-
dietary do not secure, in all cases,
absolute justice between contending
parties In their quest of the ideal.
they look upon the memorable nature
Of the law, which can not swerve from
any of its rules to meet the peculiar
exigencies of any individual case no
matter how meritorious as an in
fringement of the rights of the peo-
pie, and they hope to change this by
the recall. They proceed from the
purest of motives to attempt the i'm
possible.
Ultimate, absolute, justice has
never been secured by any system OF
law, and never will be. Take, for ex-
ample, the statute OF frauds, framed
for the very excellent purpose
of protecting persons from the
preparation of injustice upon them
through the law. One OF the provis-
ions is that no contract not to be per-
formed within year will be en-
forced unless it is in writing and

DR.. Wiley has had much the same

of cheering them on; Taft is made
