of March 30 at Detroit, wherein the for
mer President charged that Senator's Dill
bingham, Gamble and Jones were reac-
tionaries because they recommended that
Lorimer be permitted to retain his seat.
Senator Jones then said:
This argument may have caught the
fancy of those who listened without
grasping the full significance of the
statements made, but no proposition was
ever advanced by the widest anarchist
more subversive of the principle of hui
man justice or human rights and good
government than the principal suggestion
contained in this statement"
Senator Jones argued at length that the
constituents of the senators named would
want them to vote on the L9rtmer case
according to their consciences. He said
he did not believe there could be found
within his state one who is such a re-
dicial conduct practiced by Pontius Pr
late. If Mr.. Roosevelt made the Sugges-
ton seriously" he added lit is shocking.
If he made it ignorantly. it is pitable. If
he made it to secure votes, it 10 des-
picable.
You will note that this is not sug-
gestion that the judges should decide a
case according to their judgment or the
law and the evidence and then to allow
the people to pass upon it. 1t goes
farther than that 1t suggests that the
people shall make the decision, that the
judge shall disregard the law and the
evidence and try to ascertain what he
thinks the. people desire to be done in
the case and then act in accordance with
what he believes is their judgment. This
proposition is so extreme, so shocking, so
contrary to all principles of enlightened
jurisprudence, SO antagonistic to the basic
principles of judicial action that have
teen brought forth in the crucible OF
time for the protection of life. liberty
and property, that 1 cannot conceive Of
the state of mind or the purpose that
prompted it's utterance. l leave this mys-
terry for the people themselves to solve.
Sequence of the Doctrine.
IF this rule is to be followed, then
judges must instruct juries that they are
not TO decide cases upon the law and
the evidence submitted to them. but they
must endeavor to find out what the pub
lie sentiment is with reference to the
matter at issue and decide it in accord
ance with that. Judges. instead of in
structing the jury as to what the law is.
should try to tell them what the public
sentiment is
Senator Jones said he had wondered
few weeks ago why it was that attorneys
would not allow Col. Roosevelt to act
as a juror. He added: Il understand
now.

Declines to Discuss Politics.

Senator Jones prefaced his speech by
saying that those who expected to hear
the sensational would be disappointed,
and that those expecting discussion of
the presidential campaign need not listen.
He said he would not discuss politics.
He recited rapidly conditions which made
the present time prosperous, but said
we are engaged in a saturnalia of po-
litical vituperation.
Justice and fair dealing are thrown to
the Winds he added. Appeals to pas
sion and prejudice diSplace reason and
logic. Fileness and corruption are sought
for eagerly and We rejoice if We are sue
cessful in our search. Sinister motives
prompt those who disagree with us and
none Is good save ourselves.
Under the banner of progression an
archy is preached in honeyed phrase and
fulSome ffattery. Our sense of Justice
and fairness is deadened by loud decla-
nation and insidiOus suggestion. Until
short time ago supposedly new ideas,
as old as governments among men, were
advocated with some show of reason and
prudence.

BRITISH ART At Zenith
AND PROBABLY DECLINING
Miss Leila MechIin SO Says in
Lecture Before Capital
Organization.

British Art was the subject of a lee
ture delivered last night before the Wash
ington Society Of Fine Arts by Miss Leila
Mechiin. assistant secretary Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Arts and editor Of Art
and Progress. at the Public Library. Miss
Mechlin expressed the opinion that Brit
ish art had reached its zenith and prob
ably was beginning to decline. In order
to accommodate the large number of per-
sons desiring to attend the lecture 1t was
given at 4:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon
also.
Miss Mechlin traced the progress OF
British art from Hoibein to the modern
painters. She spoke OF the work of Van
Dyke, who painted all the wives OF Henry
VIII. and also what was probably the
best portrait of Henry himself. Others
whose work she discussed were Sir God.

New Richmond a Trespasser.

This new Richmond rushed upon the
political scene, threw his hat into the
ring and shouted to the wavering hosts
to follow him in the highways of prog
ress and victory. Hoping to reap where
others had sown, he sought to pluck the
fruit of victory to his own bosom. Having
worked and won with the despised stand
patters, and not being practiced in the
principles of modern political progress,
he, with the reckleSsneSS of ignorance
and the rashness of the new convert, is
appealing to all that is base, selfish and
unjust in the apparent hope of gratifying
an Unsuitable ambition.
In his campaign for place and power
he seems to have forgotten the honors be-
slowed upon him by his party and by
be unmindful of the dignity and deport-
ment of one who filled the most exalted
position in the gift of man.
I'VE respect and tolerate the actions
and utterances of the ordinary politician,
but it is shock to our people to see
their idol seeking place and power by ap-
pealing to passions. prejudices and
hatreds, and whose most powerful argu-
ment is denunciatiOn of the motives and
honesty of those who oppose him. He
would substitute the biased, warped and
| inf1amed opinions of the multitude for the
Judgment of those acting in judicial

This is the latest rule for judicial
action suggested by this self-proclamed
leader of progress said Senator Jones.
Because we have not followed it We
are not progressive, but reactionary.
This was the rule of action followed by
PLATE nearly nineteen hundred years
ago. This is the first time, 1 venture to
say, in our history or in the history of
any civilized people. that Pilates rule
of judicial action has met the approval
of any man save those who would cruelty
