Won't Allow open Theaters Sunday

the repeal of a law"
This is the snag the theatrical men
of Topeka are going 20 run against if
they attempt to open up the theaters
on Sundays. This is the thing that
may make meaningless the action Of
the city commissioners in, repeating
the Sunday theater ordinance The
attorney general says the action of the
commission means absolutely moth
ing; that the teheaters can't open up
Sundays now that the ordinance has
been repealed, no more than they
could before.

few sections of the country have any

are certain in the long run to plague
the inventor or first user and will come
readily to the hand Of the enemies and
corrupters Of society after the passing
of the just, popular indignation which
prompted their adoption.
Again. judicial recall Is advocated on
the ground that it will bring the judges
more in sympathy with the popular
will and the progress of ideas among
the people. It is said that now Judges
are out of touch with the movement
toward a wider democracy and a great
er control of governmental agencies in
the interest and for the benefit OF the
people.
The righteous and just course for a
Judge to pursue is ordinarily fixed by
statute or clear principles of law, and
the cases In which his judgment may
be affected by his political, economic
or social views are not frequent. But
even IN such cases. judges are not re-
moved from the people influence. Sur
round the judiciary with all the safe
guards possible, create judges by ap-
pointment, make their tenure for life,
forbid diminution of salary during
their term and still it is impossible to
prevent the influence of popular opin-
ion from coloring judgments in the
long run.
Defends Judges.
Judges are men, intelligent. sympa-
thetic men, patriotic men, and in those
fields of the law in which the per-
sonal equation unavoidably plays a
sober popular opinion as it changes to
meet the exigency of social, political
and economic changes.
Indeed, this should be so. Individual
instances of hide bound and retro
grade conservatism on the part OF
courts in decisions which turn on. the
individual, economic or sociological
views of the judges may be pointed
out; but they are not many, and do not
call for radical action
In treating of courts we are dealing
with a human machine, liable, like all
the inventions of man, TO err. But we
are dealing with a human institution
that likens itself to a divine institution
because it seeks and preserves Justice.
has been the cornerstone of our glori-
ously free government in which the
rights of the individual and of the
minority have been preserved, while
governmental action Of the majority
has lost nothing of beneficent prog
ress, efficacy and directness- This bal
ance was planned in the constitution
by Its trainers ana mas peeH iHdiH-
tanned by our independent judiciary.
Precedents are cited from the state
constitutions said to be equivalent to
a popular recall. In some, judges are
removable by vote of both houses Of
the legislature.
This is a mere adoption of the Eng
lish address of parliament to the crown
for the removal of judges. 1t is similar
to Impeachment in the form of hearing,
and is always granted. Such provision
forms no precedent for a popular re-
call without adequate hearing and de-

been subjected to test of all the va
rieties of judicial work and duty SO
as to furnish proper means of meas
uring his fitness for continuance IN
another term.
On the instant OF an unpopular rul-
ing which he may be sustained he is
to be hailed before the electorate in a
tribunal with no judicial hearing, evil
dence or defense. and thrown out of
office and disgraced for life because
he has failed, in a single decision, IT
may be to satisfy the popular demand.
Think of the opportunity such a sys-
tenn would give to INSCRIPTIONS poll
ticians in control, as they have been In
control, not only of conventions, but
elections. Think of the enormous
power for evil given to the sensational
undertaking portion of the press in a
rousing prejudice against just Judge
by false charges and insinua tons, the
effect of which in the short period OF
an election by recall, 1T would be i'm
possible for him to meet and offset.
Supporters of such a system seem to
think 1t would work only in the inter-
est of the poor, the humble the weak,
and the oppressed; that it will strike
down only the judge who is supposed
to favor corporations and be affected
by the corrupting influence of the
rich. Nothing could be further from
the ultimate result. The motive II
would offer to INSCRIPTIONS combina-
tions to seek to control politics In or
der to control the judges is clear.
Those Who Would Benefit.
Those who will benefit by the recall
are those who have the best opportunity
of arousing the majority of the peo-
pie to action on sudden impulse. Are
they likely to be the wisest or the
best people in a community? Do they
not include those who have money
enough to employ firebrands and SLAM
derers in q community, and the stirrers
up of social hate? Would not self re-
speeding men well hesitate to accept
judicial office with such a sword OF
Damocles hanging over them?
What kind of judgments might the
unpopular side expect from courts
whose judges must make their de-
cisions under such legalized terrorism
The character of the judges would de-
teriorate to that of trimmers and time
servers, and Independent judicial &C.
ton would be a thing of the past. AS
the possibilities of such a system pass
in review, is it too much to character
ize it as one which will destroy the
Judiciary, its standing, and it's use
fulness? The argument has been made
to justify the judicial recall that it is
only carrying out the principle Of the
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-08-15

election of judges by the people. The
appointment. by the executive is by the
representative of the majority and so
far as future bias is concerned there
is no great difference between the ap-
pointment and the election of judges.
The independence of the judiciary is
secured rather by fixed term and
fixed and irreducible salary. 1t is true
that when the term of judges is for
a limited number of years and reelec-
ton is necessary, 1t has been thought
and charged sometimes that shortly
before election, In cases in which
popular interest is excited, judges have
leaned in their decisions toward popu-
lar sides.
AS already pointed out, however, in
the election of judges for long and
fixed term of years, the fear of popular
prejudice as motive for unjust de-
the one hand, while the opportunity
which the people have calmly to con-
slider the work of a judge for q full
term of years in deciding as to his
reelection generally insures from them
a fair and reasonable consideration OF
his qualities as a judge.
While, therefore. there have been
elected judges who have bowed before
unjust popular prejudice. or who have
ylelQe0 TO the power or pOiltlcal posses
in their decisions, I am convinced that
these are exceptional and that. on the
whole, elected judges have made a
great American judiciary. But the sue
cess of an elective judiciary certainly
furnishes no reason for so changing
the system as to take away the very
safeguards which have made It sue
cessful.
Attempt is made to defend the prin-
ciples of judicial recall by reference
to states in which judges are said to
have shown themselves to be under
corrupt corporate influence and In
which it is claimed that nothing but a
desperate remedy will suffice. If the
political control in such states is suf-
ficiently wrested from corrupting cor
porations to permit the enactment
of a radical constitutional amendment
like that of judicial recall, it would
seem possible to make provision In Its
stead of an effective remedy by i'm
parchment IN which the cumbrous fea-
lures of the present remedy might be
avoided, but the opportunity for ju-
dicial hearing and defence before an
impartial tribunal might be retained.
Not a Real Reform.
Real reforms are not TO be affected
by patent short cuts or by abolishins

has shown to be essential in dealing

It is said the recall will be rarely
used. II so, 1t will be rarely needed.
Then why adopt a system so full OF
danger; but it is mistake to suppose
that such a powerful lever for influ-
encing judicial decisions and such an
opportunity for vengeance because OF
adverse ones will be allowed to remain
unused.
But 1t is said that the people OF Ari-
IONA are to become an Independent
state when created and even II we
strike out judicial recall now. they can
incorporate it in their constitution at,
ter statehood.
To this I would answer that in deal
ing with the courts, which are the cor
nerstone Of good government and In
which not only the voters, but the non.
voters and nonresidents, have deep
interest as a security for their rights OF
life, liberty and property. no matter
what the future action Of the state
may be, it is necessary for the au-
thority which is primarily responsible

full tones the necessity for an indie
pendent and untrammeled judiciary.
