The Judieiarr and the Real.

Just before Theodore Roosevelt
made his last visit to Omaha a story
was circulated through the public
prints that he would advocate the re-
call Tor judges as the only effective
remedy for abuses in the courts. The
predicted declaration did not mater
ialize, but the report gained ground
nonetheless that Colonel Roosevelt
was committed to this idea It Is,
therefore, interesting to note in his
discussion of "Nationalism and the
Judiciary" which has been, devoted
chiefly to the question how far judges
should be immune from criticism,
Colonel Roosevelt expresses himself
on the recall for judges as follows:
In certain states the proposal has been
made to require all federal judges to be
elected for short terms. | do not agree
with this proposal Neither do / believe
i'm the recall--usng the word In the ordl-
nary sense--as applied to our federal
Judges I do not wish TO see steps taken
which would hurt the usefulness and dig
nifty of our fine national judiciary. The
introduction i'm principle Of the methods
/ for removing judges which are provided
| I'm the constitutions Of New York and
Massachusetts (for unfitness on address
! by a sufficient majority Of the two
houses Of the legislaturel would, 1 believe
work we'll If this is objected to, then
/ the only alternative is that there shall be
a fun free and effective criticism Of the
court whenever the court acts upon some
great que stion Of policy and principle as
/ to which the people have a right to de-
eide, and where their decision, and not
/ that OF their servants, must ultimately
stand.
Colonel Roosevelt's endorsement Of
the recall by no means extends as far
as, for example, that which is EN-
bodied in the Arizona constitution. In
other words, he realizes and empha-
sizes the value of an Independent ju-
dietary unswerved by temporary
waves Of popular sentiment whose
tyranny, II permitted to warp the de-
crees of Justice, would differ only in
degree from the lure of power or the
menace of wealth. The assumption
OF judges, however, or immunity from
criticism, and from responsibility for
abuses and arbitrary acts, is not to be
conceded If the despotism Of the
mob were the only alternative to the
tyranny of the judicial despot there
might be little choice. In the ulti.
mate analysis the solution of the prob.
lem goes back to the people, who di
rectly or indirectly choose the judges
and who must be brought to make
their selection with the utmost care
and thorough knowledge of the mer
they are thus commissioning to inter
pref and pass on their laws.

Belligerent Legislators.

Americans talk much of the ethics
governing members of their congress,
of senatorial courtesy and all that,
but when it comes to real urbanity
they have to admit their Canadian
neighbors to full consideration. Even
in the heat OF passion members of the
Ottawa Parliament observe the strict
est rules of etiquet, as for instance,
the other day when a Manitoba mem
Der of the House OF Commons had oc-
casion to question the veracity and
deny the assertion of a colleague, he'
did It in this wise:
MY honorable friend is a liar, absolutely
liar.
That is a plain, simple, forceful
statement, whether of fact or not, at
least with the merit of brevity to COM
mend 1t and urbanity enough almost
to sweeten the malediction. No UNI
savory adjectives modifying the predi-
cate, which might serve to obscure the
meaning. impair the rhetorical effect,
or deepen the feeling of resentment
on the part of the honorable friend.
1t is very refreshing and inspiriting
and supplies such fine contrast to
our awkward way, to say nothing OF
the slovenly manner in which British
parliamentarians go about such
things.
For instance, a few weeks ago in
the house at Washington Delegate
Wickersham of Alaska and Congress
Nan Monden OF Wyoming locked
horns in a debate, whereupon the Hon
orable Wickersham thundered various
( kinds Of homely words at the Honora-
BILE Mondell, interfering with the ex-
peditious transaction Of business and
disconcerting the whole house. That,
in turn, led the Wyoming statesman TO
retort in similar fashion and finally
involved the gentlemen in a rough
and-tumble fight. About a week
later a similar episode occurred on the
floor Of the London Parliament, only
the fistie features we're more pro-
nouneed there than in their affair at
Washington.
Readily, we may see the great ad-
vantage in every respect the Canadian
method possesses over both the Amer
lican and British. There is no buster

THE RIVER OF LIFE.
Thomas Campbell

Thomas Campbell
The more we live more brief appear
Our lifes succeeding stages;
A day to childhood seems year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladstone current Of our youth
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like a river smooth
Along It's grassy borders
But as the careworn cheek grows wan
And sorrows shafts fly thicker.
We stars, that measure life TO man,
Why seem your courses quicker2
When joys have lost their bloom and
breath,
And life itself is vapid.
Why, as we reach the Falls of Death
Feel we its tide more rapid?
1t may be strange-yet who would change
Times course to slower speeding,
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bosoms bleeding?
Heaven gives our years OF fading strength
Indemnfying fleetness;
And those of youth, a seeming length
Proportioned to their sweetness

TerrOrs of Jurors in Italy.

In various times and places in our
United States history, even ordinary
courageous men shrank from serving
on juries or acting as judges where
certain well known characters in the
community we're arraigned on crimi-
nal charges. Justice often got the
short end Of the bargain in these ter
rorized places.
But that was more frequent a long
time ago than today, and while many
American citizens may shirk jury SER
vice, it is usually on different grounds.
Italy, an older country by many CEN
turtles than the United States, seems
only to have caught up with this stage
that we have passed decades ago, as
is shown in the Camorra trial at
Viterbo Good people, who, doubtless,
are willing enough to recognize a pub
lie duty and the right to demand jury
service of them, resorted to every
means of avoiding 1t. They were
acutely familiar with the records of
this secret society and shuddered at
the thought of offending It by helping
to convict one of its leaders of crimes,
which no doubt, they believe he COM
mitted.
The progress Italy has to make in
this respect is matter of interna-
tional concern, for the terrors OF this
band of assassins has been felt in this
country as we'll as in southern Europe
But for the sake of civilization and
/ law, it is to be hoped that no personal
consideration will keep the men
chosen for this jury from doing their
duty. How long is the tradition oil
the Camorra TO live-that its bant
once fixed on an enemy, his doom Il
sealed? Yet so long as each juror
feels himself a marked man, watched
IN every move and thought. Il may b,

Viviseotion Again

Many philanthropic persons and So
cieties that oppose viVisection. as a
form of barbarism which even the de-
mands OF science do not Justify have
of late become particularly aggressive.
Doubtless well-meaning individuals
have allowed their humane feelings to
carry them a little beyond the limit
of fairness in describing the character
and results of this work. Vtyisection
is practiced by scientists on dumb an
imals for the purpose OF discovering
and determining valuable scientific
truths, and they insist that the utmost
care is taken to prevent needless pain
and suffering on the part of the
animals.
Undoubtedly the medical world is
being enlightened through the pro-
cesses of viyisection, as it could not
be otherwise, and, therefore, It seems
essential 10 scientific progress. If the
welfare of the human race is pro-
NOTED. so long as every attention is
paid to the comfort of the animal
tested, these demonstrations may be
made. Here is an interesting list of
regulations sent 10 every research

section is praoticed, and they show
that many people are wrong in their
conceptions Of what is being done:
