Justice Harlan

Those citizens who favor the recall
for judges, aud aim to keep the judi
ciary humblY aud attentively responsive
to the popular will, are invited to con-
slider the career of Justice Harlan, who
died on October 18th. For over thirty
three years he was justice Of the
Supreme Court; an independent judge,
secure in his place except in case Of
such misconduct as would warrant i'm
parchment. No string was tied to him.
Whatever was his opinion of the law in
any case he was free to give it without
regard to the opinion of anyone else,
aud he availed himself freely of that
privilege. He was rugged, upright,
downright man, a constant friend OF
liberty and of democracy, faithful, with
out turning, to justice, as he saw it,
bold and often aggressive in his dissen,
from opinions in which he could not
concur.
A fine type of judge was that old man
1t is true he was man of very strong
individuality, but in his conscientious
Independence he was typical-with pride
be it recorded-of the membership OF
the great court in which he sat.
Surely that is the sort of Judge our
people want. Our friends who advocate
the recall for judges seem to wish tc
make the judiciary branch of the legis'
lature. They seem to want judges who
will do their will without regard to the
Fundamental law. No such Judge was
Justice Harlan, nor bred to any such
service by his long experience of indie
pendent powers. II we want such mel
he was on the bench, we must preserve
for them freedom of conscience and in
dependence of judgment. They mus

not as our wishes dictate, but as thei
own minds determine what is just anC

The bit of advice from the Ludlow
Tribune, to be found in another column,
should be read and adopted. Political
positiveness, so it be that and not
merely prediction Is about the best
asset any party can have at command,
and it is, in the case of Vermont affairs,
quite possible of attainment. 1t Is
none too soon to cultivate the qualifi-
cation, intelligent "positiveness" as to
some of the legislation in which the
people, as a whole number are vitality
interested and the best aid toward it
is we'll considered advice, from the we'll
informed men who ought to be able to
Judge of results of some legislation al
ready written. of this much we can
be positive ahead of all discussion of
Vermont affairs, and that is that the
majority of the people In this state are
intelligent enough to be informed as to
the why and wherefor of the positive
ness that is to obtain in the coming
campaign and they have an indubit.
able right to insist that state affairs
shall be considered apart from nation
al affairs.
We are quite positive that some ideas
old and new, are right, but conditions
in each of such states as New York and
Vermont, require suitable applications
of principles and theories. For instance,
the theory of national power to tax
incomes and corporations is far from
being just and proper in our peculiar
form of government, under which each
state has such large measure of
responsibility for the general welfare.
And again, direct primary law could
be beneficial to one state, and not at all
so for another. The recall of judges is
good in principle, but only good in
practice, when circumstances OF quality
of population admit of its application ;
and quite inadmissable as regards the
Court, that is to say the Supreme Court
of the United States. And it is so with
every other theory.
Let us have some helpful discussions
assume the duties of criticism belongs
the privilege of giving some good logi-
cal advice, that will assist toward poll
tical positiveness, and it is one of the
most difficult and exacting forms of
service that can be rendered, and on
that account valuable.

For Tubercular Patients

Following Theodore N. Wallis strong
ly put opinions on the necessity of bet
tering conditions under which thousands
of telephone and telegraph employees
work in the great company for which
he speaks, comes the announcement
that the General Electric Company OF
Lynn has notified its workers that any
of them who suffer from tuberculosis or
show tubercular tendencies will be taken
care of for fifteen weeks in a well
equipped sanatorium without expense
and that assistance will be given tc
their stay at home families if necessary
The General Electric is not the first
company to try the plan; four or five
years ago great manufacturing concern
in Providence gave many of US thrill
by doing practically the same thing
The General Electric Company, however
has a splendid opportunity for working
out the plan on scale so much larger
that its experiment will be watched
with the closest interest.
When the manufacturer, the workman
and the man and woman at home come
to realize how easily tuberculosis can be
checked if proper methods are used at
the right time, we shall be on the road
to better national health. The disease
has today few of the terrors it had
once, but it is neglected frightfully in
many places. A great manufacturing
company can do more good by actually
putting some modern teachings OF
tuberculosis into effect than could a
moving picture and literature campaign
costing thousands of dollars. 1t will be
extremely interesting to have report
from the health board of the General
Electric company in six months or a
year.-Boston Evening Herald.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER %, 1911.

The Montpelier Journal paid grace
full compliment, that did not SAVIOR of
flattery in the least, when it said, "The
army of teachers assembled in our city
are the nations inner defense. Let us
make it as strong as possible" 1t was
a happy thought that prompted the re-
mark which can have greater influence
than some may think for. .
The teachers themselves should take
such recognition of the value of their
work seriously, and regard themselves
as an important auxiliary of the gov.
eminent. In such thought there is in
centive not only to render good service in
teaching but to shape the character of the
young people committed to their guild
ance, and tender mercies. G be sure
the opportunity to inculcase respect for
authority, through just respect OF the
rights of the children, and a love of the
golden rule, through the force of exam

Farmers Must Be Educated

1t has been asserted again and again
that the state agricultural college in
Burlington educates its students above
practical farming; yet we note that the
winner of the annual potato-raising
competition, conducted by the White
River Railroad Company, was student
at this institution and, Furthermore that
the young man raised 425 bushels of
potatoes on single acre of land. If
this young man did not give practical
demonstration of the value of college
education in agriculture, then we do not
know what is TO be expected of young
men nowadays. But we incline to the
belief that it was practical demoustra-
ton and will be generally credited as
such. lncidently, his success shows
what can be Gone in Vermont along the
lines of agriculture under competent
care.-Barre Times.

The Brooklyn Eagle commenting
upon the death of Eugene Ely recon-
mends that a "stern check" be put upon
the recklessness that causes the quite
unnecessary loss of human life in such
exhibitions of the possibilities of avia-
ton. Assuming that by a stern check
some legislation is meant, we venture
the opinion that it would not prevent
one such accident, for the reason that
such actions as led to the lamentable
death of young Ely, Americas foremost
aviator, is due to an impulse of the
moment, an impulse born of the ex-
citement sure to effect a man who is
demonstrating for the edification of a
crowd The only stern check that could
be imposed is to forbid aviation as a
feature of sporty entertainment, to which
the noble science is being Sdegraded
Such peculiar form of reckessness
isn't crime as it is not premeditated
and so cannot be prevented by decreeine
petty penalties.

This law was designed in the interest

in the test case having established the
validity of the law, all such distribution
