The Recall Of Judges.

Let 1t be inquired what will be ac-
complished by the proposed change
that is deemed expedient?
Will the respect Of the community
for the Judges, situation % earnestly
to be sought. be increased? Already
there has appeared q very wide dis
crepancy In the esteem entertained BY
the general public for the state tribun-
ais as compared with that held for the
national courts. Why? Obviously for
two reasons: The comparative attain
ments Of the presiding Judges and the
cnrtailed IL dependence OF the state
tribunals By reason Of the selection OF
their judges for short terms.
VIII the proposed measure induce
gentlemen OF greater attachments &c
seek election to the bench? It II be-
lieyed such will not be the case. What
man worthy Of the name would sub
NIT himself to the alternative OF de-
Gliding a cause contrary to his con-
science or suffering the disgrace OF .
peremptory recall by his fellow citi-
Gems? How can an increase Of whole
some respect be attained by a further
curtail Of that independence. the want
OF which has already induced dispar-
aEement?

ton? Is there no evidence available
Then, is 1t the purpose to convict
Judges without evidence? Is suspicion
to take the place Of facts2 Surely this
would seem to be novel American
idea
Will the alleged corporate control OF
the judiciary be abolished? Where does
1t exist today? In the federal or the
state tribunals? Certainly from the
recent decisions of the former It does
not seem to be there intrenched to
any great extent. II In the latter, how
will the evil be remedied The judges
are now selected by the majority Of the
people. If they are now unable to Sc
lect judges free from corporate infiu-
ence, may we expect a resultant inn
provement in the exercise OF choice by
comforting the power OF recall? Why ?
