Relation of Public Opinion, LegisIn-
tive Freedom and Judicial Duty.
Golfers Weekly.
The chief justice of the United States Is
reported to have said, in speaking to
friend, that he became more and more op.
pressed with the power and responsibility
Of his position, and he added that what
particularly oppressed him was the fear
that some time the nine justices might
thwart the will of ninety millions. This
anecdote was told to a member of the
Bourbon aristoerscy, who at once an,
swered: What does White think they are
there for?" IT, as the Italian proverb says,
this Is not true, it is at least well con-
celved. Mr.. Justice Holmes, defining the
police power, explained, in the Oklahoma
bank guaranty case, called Noble State
Bank against Haskell:
1T may be said, in a general way, that
the police power extends to all the great
public needs 1t may be put forth in aid
of what is sanctioned by usage, or held by
! the prevailing morality or strong and pre-
ponderant public opinion to be greatly and
Immediately necessary to the public vel
fare"
| on petition for a rehearing Mr.. Justice
/ Holmes observed that a powerful argu-
ment might be made against the wisdom
/ OF the legislation, but on that point we
have nothing to say. as II is not our con.
Germ" Mr.. Justice Hughes. in the case
Of the Chicago, Burlington & quincy Rail

clearly TO recognize this relation between
public opinion, legislative freedom, and
judicial duty makes for the usefulness OF
our courts and for their continuance a.
one OF the factors in our civic life.

The decision of the New York court OF
appeals that the workmans compulsory
compensation act passed by the legislature
Of that state year ago Is unconstitutional
is important and may be far-reaohing be-
cause it not only impinges upon the con-
stitutlon Of that commonwealth. but upon
all written constitutions under our form OF
government. The law was the most drastic
for the declared purpose that has ever been
passed in the country, though modelled
upon the English law OF fourteen year, ago

The report OF the attorney general
transmitted to the legislature in an
swer to the resolution asking for in
formation as to the money carried in
suspended account to the credit Of the
temporary school fund, only partly ex-
plains how Cadet Taylor and his as
sociates got away with the $4,000 Of
state money absorbed through their
defunct bubble bank.
The attorney general shows that the
state asserted its claims against two
other failed banks in which school
money was deposited, one of them
paying 20 per cent and the other set
Ting through its sureties, and that the
records show no money whatever paid
back from the Taylor bank, and no
effort to collect It. He calls attention
to the fact that Cadet Taylor went
through voluntary bankruptcy in 1904
for the purpose of escaping his liabili-
ties to the state and his other credi-
tors, and would probably set up his
discharge in bankruptcy in answer TO
any suit that might be brought to re-
cover now. We are not so sure about
this, however, for the opinion Of law
yers differs as to whether a claim of
the state is barred either by the stat
ute of limitations or by bankruptcy.
The amazing thing disclosed, how
ever, 10 the failure of the attorney gen
erals Office to proceed against the
Taylor bank, and Cadet Taylor as trus-
tee, within the time when the rights
of the public school children, whose
money was thus lost, could be asserted
without question. The recent ap-
pointment Of Cadet Taylor to a fat
federal job by Senator Norris Brown
recalls that Senator Brown was, him
self, for four years assistant attorney
general, and for two years more at
torney general in duty bound to look
after the legal rights OF the state. II
was his duty to bring suit against
Cadet Taylor and save the $4,000 tC
the school children for besides tbs
depository bond Taylor had become
personally liable in exchange for the
assets of the bank which he took pos
session of individually instead of Civ
ing them over to a receiver Foui
years after the bank closed Tayloi
claimed that the assets in his posses
sion were of sufficient value to pay II
full all creditors, and a state bank ex
aminer placed a value on them to pro
duce at least a 10 per cent dividend
But all these assets disappeared with
out a dollar since paid to the state o
any other deposition.
In a word, the record shows tina
Cadet Taylor successfully got ava
with $4,000 of the state school fund
by the help of the complacent inaC
tivity of Attorney General Norri
Brown, and later drew as a rewar
t from Senator Brown a federal Job cal
/ rying $4,000 in salary.

private systems and sources OF safety,
but sometimes they all look too far
from the real problem II often lies
at their very feet and is so simple they
do not see it. Failure OF any kind
to take every precaution against fire
in these big buildings, which every city

sooner or later the law should make an

The chief Of staff Of the army has under
consideration certain minor changes in the
uniform of the commissioned personnel
One of the questions has to do with the
adoption Of the buff color for quarter
masters, to be used in the stripe on the
trousers and the lining OF the cape and
the edging and facing of the dress coat.
Another proposition of general interest is
to adopt the insignia Of rank on the shoul-
der knot Of all officers. At present rank
is indicated by the scroll OF the sleeve,
which is not easily identified. The insignia
Of rank will remain as at present, there
being no suggestion of a change in the
various emblems TO indicate respective
grades. Consideration Is also begin given
to a table OF occasions" It being deemed
desirable to amend the schedule OF events
which call for certain prescribed combina-
ton OF style Of dress.

Some hope Is entertained by those who
ere interested In the expense incurred in
official travel that there win be practical
results of the investigation instituted by
orders OF the president into the cost of this
service. Mr. Taft before ne went on his
southern trip. directed the secretary of the
treasury 10 submit a report which would
shown an analysis of the travel vouchers
of the government for the fiscal year 1910.
The president desires to make his initial
test of economyon the question of travelling
expenses, and he was encouraged to believe
this could be done with material effect
in view OF his discovery that over $40 e
100000 was expended in the last fiscal year
for travelling expenses. Those who know
something of the situation entertain little
hope that there can be any reduction in the
expenditure Of public funds in the direction
indicated by Mr.. Taft. The amount he
named included items which are not
strictly speaking, travelling expenses. Az
the same time. II 10 possibly to establish
/ uniformity in allowances and in mileage
so that there may be an avoidance of the

much more expense than they are allowed

families and in the shipment of household
effects Hardly any officer who has haC

Tafts investigation is sufficiently thor

No great apprehension is entertained by
the War department authorities over the
fact that congress appropriated but one
half Of the estimated amount necessary
to cover deficiency in the appropriation
for pay OF the army for the current fiscal
year. 1t was recommended by the pay
master general that congress appropriate
$4,000 to meet q deficiency likely to occur
in the fourth quarter of the present fiscal
year. The estimate for pay Of the army
for this year as originally submitted was
reduced sl,OOO,OO0 by direction OF the secre-
tary Of war. The disbursements for the
first six months Of this year indicate that
there will be deficiency of approximately
$4,000, and congress was asked to supply
this sum in the general deficiency appro-
priatlon act. which, however, contains the
item of but $4,000. II Is too early to as
certain whether any Inconvenience will he
occasioned by this reduced appropriation,
but probably there will be an adjustment of
the working balance so as to avoid air diff
ficulties.
