The Veto for Timid Judges.

Nobody dreams of mOleStlng
good Judges in States that already
provide the possibility of the re-
call. Any Judge who goes on the
bench is fairly deemed to be a
man of intelligence, who under
stands the nature Of judicial du-
ties. The unjust Judge is a mis-
cradle rogue. In vetoing the
Statehood bill, President Taft on
August Is declared that the
character of judges. would deteri-
crate to that of trimmers and
time servers. and independent
judicial action would be a thing
of the past. If the recall were
allowed. This would seem to be
purely a theoretical opinion.
based upon nothing that expert
ence has shown to be true. If
there is any value IN the argu-
ments against the recall Of iud-
ges, let it be remembered that
conservative legal opinion has
always used precisely those ar
guments against the election OF
judges by popular vote and for
fixed terms. The very idea of
electjng q Judge is shocking to
the conservative mind. Lawyers
Of Mr.. Taft's way Of thinking
have always and everywhere be
lieved in the appointment CT
Judges for life. But this requires
more confidence in the officials
who would have TO exercise tne
appointing power than is gener-
ally felt by the plain people. The
only safety for Judge is to dc
his duty intelligently and in a
judicial spirit. It is not good

they do you"
We call attention TO this sen
tence, not because it is quite stale
and silly, but because it appears
to have obtained such a strong
hold in the thoughts OF world
of delinquent and shallow people.
The little mind everywhere, in
every walk Of life, has taken pos

minder that there are still great

Gated by a doctrine which holds
that all men are dishonest, or
that all are actuated by an am
bition to take advantage of those
who are ill-ftted for the battle of
life.
The truth is that the average
individual, in the average relation
ships Of life, finds that a majority
of people like to do as they would
be done by; that they are anxious
to give little more than they re-
ceive; and that having confer
red d favor, they derive the high
est pleasure in life from the sen
sation which follows.
That attitude of mind which
holds that you must do others
before they do you,' almost inev-
itably results in bringing the
holder of the thought into contact
with scheming and rapacious
people.
