The RECALL
OF JUDGES

w
better. A judge has no right,
except as the law gives it to
him, and the people make the
laws. The judges right to de-
clare a law unconstitutional is
not an inherited right. It is
granted by the constitution, and
the constitution is made by the
people. In fact, the constitu-
tion is distinctively a popular
instrument. Individual rights
are protected in constitutions
because the people who make
the constitution want those
rights protected, and the people
who make constitutions can be
trusted to deal as fairly with
judges as with other officials
The argument that a judge can
have any power not conferred
upon him by the people or can
r1ghtfully exercise power contra
ry to the wishes of the people is
either a relic of past monarchy
from which we have departed,
or foreshadowing of the plu-
tocracy which some seem to
desire.
The attempt to appeal to re.
ligious prejhdice is as absurd as
it is inexcusable. The religious
belief of the people is more Sc
cure in the hands of the people
themselves than anyw here else.
Equally aside from the line OF
legitimate argument is the argu-
ment that the people may act
in anger or excitement. lElec-
tion laws provide tune for de-
liberation, not as much time as
some of the predatory corpora
t1ons have taken to wear out
the patience of the people by
postponement and delays bu t
time enough to allow thought
and deliberate judgment.
1t is argued that the purpose
of the recall is to make the judi
ciary subservient to the popular
will" To what will ought the
judiciary to be subservient? Not
unpopular will? Wehave enough
evidence that judges are human
to enable us to withstan the
appeal now made to us to put
our judges in a class by them.
selves. Have we not seen inhu.
tial criminals escape just punish
ment through their power to
touch the sympathies O. the
court, and have we not seen
Judges decide political questions
with just as much political bias
as the ward politician? What
state has not had it's examples
of political iudges-and judges
are just as lik<ly to be partisan
when they secure an appoint
i've judgesAip through a pull as
when they obtain an elective
judgsblp through their push.
Have we forgotten the electoral
commissgn of 1876? Did we
not have five supreme judges on
that commission, and were they
not the senior judges in length
ofservice, and did they not de
eide according to their political
bias just as the senators and
representatives do? 1t so hap
pened that three of the judges
were republicans while only two
were democrats, therefore Haves
was seated. Had there been
three democrats instead of two
in the judicial group of the cleo
toral commission Tilden would
have been seated. Itall depend
cd upon the vote of one Judge,
and his vote depended entirely
upon his party affiliations. He
voted just as he voted at the
polls, Notwithstanding the fact
that great constitutional ques-
tions were presented and mighty
interests hung upon the decision
Nothing is to be gained hy

Washington, June 16:-As a re-
suit of unofficial Information re-
ceived here from Toxic regarding
the activities of the Japanese gov
eminent along the lines of expansion
and foreign colonization, the serious
attention of the state department
has been turned on the Far East. II
was reported today hat the matters
before the state department are
those of Japan's rather open policy
in strongly fostering emigration to
the Philippines and many points in
South Africa.
The Mikado's government, 1t Is
said, is issuing free transports to all
subjects who wish to go to either OF
the two localities and hat $50 jap
anese are going to the Philippines
on every transport ship from Toxic
to Manila and other points in the
island possessions of Uncle Sam.
Permission has been obtained
from the Brazil government by ia
pan to establish a colony in NUM-
cipro Campo on the Amazon liver.
Japan also is said to be constructing
a number of steamers for the Cali
fornia trade along such lines as will
make them readily converted into
cruisers and auxiliary naval ships In
case of war.

MACADAM FOR
BRACE AVENUE
Frsehelder Kerr Says Sc
After an Inspection.

Brace avenue will most likely be ma
cadamized from Amboy avenue west
ward to the city's westerly boundary
line. Freebooter Alfred T. Kerr, in
company with Street Commissioner
George Adair looked over that section
yesterday afternoon and the county of
fetal said he thought it likely the
county would adopt the thoroughfare
and macadamize it.
With this work done and repairs on
Amboy avenue completed that part of
the city will be greatly benefited.
Brace avenue is the main t~horoughfare
through that section north of New
Brunswick avenue. From it branch
many side streets on which houses are
being erected at a rapid rate.
Messrs. Kerr and Adair viewed the
work on Amboy avenue which was
started yesterday morning. They found
it going on at a rapid rate and in ac-
cordance with the boards views.

VAN SICKLE Is
FREED BY JURY
Found Not Guilty in Bruins
wick Granddaughter Case.
EDeciol 10 che EVENING NEWS.


New Brunswick, June 16:-The
jury, after an hours deliberation, re-
turned a verdict of not guilty in the
case of William H. Van Sickle, the
local contractor, indicted for man
slaughter in connection with the loss
of two lives through the collapse of
the Robert Turton building in George
street last November. The verdict
was expected by many who heard
the case.
Judge Peter F. DAILY, in his charge
to the jury, said the case was an un-
usual one and he wanted the jury to
decide the case on their own idea of
the facts and not upon that of the
court. The law in criminal actions
Of this sort was much narrower than
in civil actions. A mar might be
liable for damages in a civil suit and
innocent Of criminal liability. Gross
negligence was the failure to do what
a reasonably prudent mar should
have done.
Somebody in my mind Is respon-
sible for the death of two persons by
gross neglect" said the court.
while that appears to me you are
the sole judges as to the fact and
must determine that point for your
self and If you do reach such a con-
clusion then you must determine who
is responsible"
The question hinged OF the shor-
ing. If there had been sufficient
| snoring the building would no have
collapsed and the court advised the
jury to consider who had the respon-
sibility of placing the snoring In
| reaching their verdict. II the de-
PENDANT did not he was not guilty.
The defendant had testified that he
had left this part of the work with
his foreman, George Van Sickle, who
was killed, and the court held that
If he directed his foreman as part OF
his employment to see that the shor-
ing was put up properly then he did
not think under the decisions in this
state the defendant was liable.
1t is possible that damage suits
may be brought on behalf Of Mrs.
George Van Sickle and Mrs. Pas
quale Locandio, widows of the vic
Tins.
