EASIER IMPEACHMENT OF JUDGES

President Taft recognizes that there
are reasonable grounds for the public
sentiment in favor Of a more expedi-
H5u way Of getting rid Of unsaJisfac-
tory or corrupt judges.
As an Offset 10 the recall system he
suggests d reform in procedure that
viii permit Of the easier Impeachment
Of judges whose conduct is such as o
justify a reasonable suspicion either
as to their fairness, their legal ability
or their personal integrity.
It is extremely difficult, as things
now. are. TO reach a Federal judge.
The case Of Judge Swayne, Of Florida,
a matter Of three or four years ago,
illustrates this. Charges were made
against him. sustained by apparently
ample evidence. but on a strict party
vote the Senate failed TO convict him
and he returned to his judicial duties,
discredited and disliked By the public
he served.
Such cases as that one tended to
swell the increasingly hostile senti-
mcut 10 the life tenure Of office for
Judges and their almost entire immun-
ity from Impeachment.
The President proposes to meet this
feeling by provisions that will render
II comparatively easy TO bring a judge
to the bar Of justice if he is guilty Of
oferses that in the minds Of the public
justify such procedure.
Public sentiment will sustain the
President in this position and it IS
quite probable that the reform suggest
ed by him will take tangible shape
It is doubtless well to give the Fed
eral judges a life tenure of their posi-
tons. conditioned on good behavior
and the proper performance Of their
duties, but it is not wise to constitute
them into a class Of czars, utterly ob-
livious to public sentiment, placed on
pedestals where it is most difficult to
reach them with the weapons now in
the hands of the people or their repre-
sentatiyes in Congress. AS one critic
has remarked, under the existing sys-
TEN they constitute the one undemo-
cratic feature in our government. The
fact that 50 few Of them have fallen
below the highest standard of probity
or ability reflects great credit upon
the personnel of the judiciary but does
not remove the dangers of the system
under which they hold their ever in
creasingly important Offices.
