SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATION

British Organization to Hold
Next Meeting at Historic

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star


LONDON, August ), 1911
In accordance with a decision arrived
at two years ago. the British Associa ton
for the Advancement OF Science will hold
its annual meeting this year at Ports
mouth. The inaugural gathering will
take place in the town hall Wednesday.
August 10, and the concluding meeting
Will be held on the following Wednes-
day. During that period the association
no doubt will do something to further the
objects for which 1t exists-namely. to
give a stronger impulse and a more sys-
tematic direction to scientific inquiry. TO
promote the intercourse of those who
cultivate science in different parts of
the British empire with one another and
with foreign philosophers, and to obtain
more general attention for the objects of
science and the removal of any disadvan-
tages of public kind which impede its
progress.
1t is rather remarkable that Ports
mouth the first naval port of the Brit
ish empire, and with situation in close
New Forest; which are not without scien
| tifc interest. should be extending it's
first welcome to the British association,
though that body has existed for eighty
; years. The first five annual meetings of
the association We're held at York Ok

Under Peoples Influence.

Again judicial recall is advocated on
the ground that it will bring the judges
more into sympathy with the popular
will and the progress of ideas among the
people. 1t is said that now judges are
out of touch with the movement toward a
wider democracy and greater control
of governmental agencies in the interest
and for the benefit of the people. The
righteous and just course for 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
infrequent. But even in such cases
judges are not removed from the people
influence Surround the judiciary with
all the safeguards possible. create judges
by appointment. make their tenure for
life. forbid diminution of salary during
their term. and still 1t Is impossible to
prevent the influence of popular opinion
from coloring judgments in the long run.
Judges are men, intelligent, sympathetic
men, patriotic men, and in those fields OF
the law in which the personal equation
unavoidably plays part. there Will be
found a response to sober popular opin-
ion as il changes TO meet the eXigency
of social. political and economic changes.
Indeed this should be SO. Individual in
stances of hidebound and retrograde
conservatism on the part Of courts in de-
cisions which turn on the individual eco
nomic 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
human machine, liable like all the in
ventions of man to err, but we are deal
ing with a human institution that likens
itself to a divine institution because 1t
seeks and preserves justice. 1t has been
the corner stone of our gloriously 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 benefi-
cent progress. efficacy and directness.
This balance was planned in the Consti-
tuition by its trainers and has been main
tanned by cur independent judiciary.

Precedents for Recall.

"Precedents are cited from state consti-
tutions 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 English
address of parliament to the crown for
the removal of judges. 1t is similar to
Impeachment In that a form of hearing
is always granted. Such provision forms
no precedent for popular recall without
adequate hearing and defense, and with
new candidates to contest the election.
1T is said the recall will be rarely
used. II so. it will be rarely needed.
Then why adopt a system so full of dan
ger? But 1t is a mistake to suppose
that such a powerful lever for influencing
judicial decisions and such an opportu-
nifty for vengeance because of adverse
ones will be allowed to remain unused.
But it is said that the people of Ari-
Zona are to become an independent state
when created and even If we strike out
judicial recall now. they can reincorpor-
ate it in their constitution after state
hood.
ITO this I would answer that in deal
ing with the courts. which are the corner
stone of good government, and In which
not only the voters. but the non-Voter-
and non-residents, 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, II is neces-
sary for the authority which is primarily
responsible for its creation to assert in
no doubtful tones the necessity for an
independent and untrammeled judiciary.

1000 Folks Gathered to
See Train at Buchanan

BUCHANAN, Ga, March 1S.-St. Pat
riclk's day, 1911, will long be remember
ed as a red'letter occasion in Buchanan,
thanks to the visit of the college on
wheels. The agricultural train spent
three hours here this afternoon, and was
greeted by one of the largest crowds of
people ever assembled in this quiet lit
tie county site. There were farmers
from HARRISON, Paulding and Polk coun-
ties, Notwithstanding the fact that the
train stopped at Carrollton earlier in
the day, and at Cedartown later in the
afternoon. At Carrollton record
breaking crowd of Carroll county farm
ers turned out. Carrollton is accessible
to all parts of Carroll county, and Ce-
dartown is the trading point for the peo-
pie of Polk county. Wherefore. the
wonder is that so many farmers from
these two counties joined with the Har-
alison county folk in the demonstration
at Buchanan.
DIR. Soule estimated the crowd at not
less than 1000 people, and the doctor
has had much experience with public
gatherings. He should be able to form
a pretty good idea of the size of a
crowd. His view was shared by Col
Tom Hudson and others aboard the
train.
