WAY To CURB THE
SUPREME COURT
Members Of Both House and Senate
Will Take Advantage of Neglected
Provision in Constitution and
Set Bounds.
Standard Oil Decision Spurs Them To
Activity on Plan To Prevent
Enthronement of Courts.
ay oIEsoN GARDINER.

WASHINGTON, May 2o.--Can con
gress curb the supreme court?
An Affirmative answer TO this Ques
tion has been worked out In the coun
ellis of the progressive members OF the
senate and house of representatives
And the remedies are to be applied
There will probably be a bitter fight
but the remedy will be applied IL pro
gressive Republicans and Democrats
remain in power.
Section 2, OF, Article III Of the consti
tuition OF the United States Is TO be
invoked-for the second time In his
tory. This section defines and limits
the powers of the supreme court and
the last paragraph reads:
In all the other cases, before
mentioned, the supreme court
shall have appellate jurisdiction,
both as to law and fact, with such
exceptions and under such regu-
lations as the congress shall make.
Applying this power OF congress II
is proposed to introduce and pass
two bills.
% A bill adding to the Sher-
man antitrust act this simple
amendment: "Of whatever char
acter." These words are to follow
the words prohibiting restraints Of
trade and are intended to do away
with the word reasonable"
which has been read into the law
by the supreme court.
(2) A bill providing that no
law shall be declared unconstitu-
tional by the supreme court ex-
cept by the unanimous vote OF all
nine supreme court justices.
The power OF congress to regulate
the supreme court has been so long
neglected that II has been almost for
gotten. Few people realize that the
reposes such power in
the Representatives OF the people.
Such, however, is the fact.
This power was invoked In the
house Of representatives in 1868. On
Jan. 13, 1858, the house OF represent
atives amended and passed senate
bin which had been introduced by
Senator Trumbull for the purpose oi
fixing at five judges quorum OF the
supreme court The amendment add
ed by the. house was as follows:
Section 2. And be II further
enacted, That no cause pending
before the supreme court of the
United States shall be decided
adversely to the validity OF such
law without the concurrence OF
two-thirds of all the members of
said court In the decision upon
the several points in which said
law or any part thereof may be
deemed invalid.
Another amendment was added
providing that all laws declared un-
by lower courts must
come up to the supreme court.
The senate bill thus amended was
in the house by vote OF
lie to 39-not voting, 33.-
The bill was returned to the SEN
ate for its concurrence and was there
to the senate judiciary COM
mittee and was never reported out. ?
During the debate there was no
hint that congress- did not have pow
er to limit the Jurisdiction Of the su-
preme court.
II Is not contended by progressives

MADERO SAYS He IS
FOR POPULAR RULE
Rebel Leader Declares He Will Not
Allow Himself To Be Converted
Into Tyrant.

JUAREZ, Mexico, May 20-That he
would not allow himself to be con-
verted like Porforio Diaz from sue
cessful and patriotic revolutionist In
TO a tyrant, was the declaration made
today by Francisco |. Madero, Jr., In
an exclusive signed statement. to the
/, United Press. He wrote out and sign
ed the following statement:
BY FRANCISCO B. MAoERo. JR.,
/ Provisional President Of Mexico.
Copyright 1911 by the United Press.)
am sure that we will not commit
the faults Of President Biaz, because
all those that belong TO our revolution
are guided by sentiments of highly
patriotic and not by personal inter-
est. Furthermore, the people OF
Mexico, will not again endure a
tyrant. Having suffered for over 30
years the dire consequences OF being
deprived OF the privilege of executing
their political rights, the Mexican
people Will not again permit them
selves to be bereft of those rights.
The question you ask me can bet
ter be answered by public opinion
than by me, because our honor and
patriotism can be better testified TO
by others than by ourselves. II is
not /, but the Mexican nation who
can best answer the question wheth-
er or not, having gained power, am
likely to convert myself into
tyrant, as Gen. Diaz has done.
You ask, will the Mexican gov
ernment be able to conduct a govern
ment similar to the government of
the American people?"
The constitution Of the Mexican
government Is very similar to the
of the United States, but
the Mexican people are not so accus-
toned to Democratic practices. With
out doubt the leaders In the new gov
ernment, being true Representatives
Of the people and having the welfare
Of the people at heart, do not doubt
that we shall soon be able to solve
all difficulties and that the Mexican
people will soon be able to Conduct
their own government.
do not expect any difficulty In
dealing with any church party that
may arise.
When | formed my political plat
form I took care not to touch on any
point which could be connected with
religious questions.
have thought that the necessities
at this crisis were to regain liberty,
10 regain the rights of citizens and
10 establish Democratic practices
After these matters have been settled
he representatives Of the people will
reach the necessary conclusions re-
yarding religious and other questions.
Upon all matters We shall limit our.
selves only to carrying out the will OF |
he people.
The sympathy which the United
States has demonstrated, will create
n Mexico sentiment OF amity which |
will bring more closely together the |
people and governments OF Mexico |
