Mr. Roosevelt confines himself to the
state courts To begin with, it would
be practically impossible to submit
IN popularity understandable form an
Issue involving the constitutionality
of an act of Legislation. But leaving
that point out Of the question, what
would be the situation if the voters
did not agree with the court. if they
recalled" its Interpretation Of tie
constitution
The constitution would still be the
same, line for line and word for word.
The judges would still be the same,
mind for mind and opinion for
opinion
But the paradoxical situation thus
created would be far from the worst
feature which the ability popularity to
recall decisions would create.
That ability would permit the
people chatting for the moment under
some constitutional restraint, to
amend the organic act by mere
majority vote, without legislative in
tervention or other guards.
For instance, if the recall of deci-
sions obtained in Wisconsin, there
can be little doubt that a recall petit
tion would be made effective against
the recent water power decision of the
supreme court, and the possibility
that the purpose of such a petition
would be sustained by the electorate
appeals as far from remote, when one
imagines the hue and cry that would
be raised by the progressive bush
beaters to confuse the constitutional
issue,
Yet what would the recall of this
decision amount to in it's larger mean
ing but the reputation of the con
stitutional safe guard against the
confscation of property and the
practical amendment of the constitu
tion to that effect
The courts are in no wise independ-
ent Of the people. They exist to do
the peoples will. But the people
have wisely imposed a restraint upon
themselves upon their majority, by
means Of a constitution. And to do
the peoples true will, irrespective Of
momentary clamor or temporary de-
sire, the courts must regard that con-
stitution until the people change it
after the constitutional manner which
they themselves have provided.
It happens, now and then, that a
bench will err in it's constitutional
Interpretation, because judges are
human like other men, but in the
vast majority of cases where such
interpretations are unpopular they
are correctly grounded in the
fundamental act
Far better in either case than the
adoption of violent means to meet the
popular demand, means that would
inevitably destroy the independence of
the judiciary and the inviolability of
the constitution, is the corrective
process of time and second thought
for the mistaken judge must sooner or
later give way to a more reliable
successor, while the way to consti
tutional amendment is always clear.

Good Cement.

From an old notebook comes this
recipe for making a cement to mend
broken china: Fill a small bottle
with ground isinglass and pour over it
sufficient unsweetened gin to fill the
bottle. Place it on the back of the
stove or in warm place. immerse
in a vessel of hot water until the ism
glass is dissolved. and the cement is
ready for use.

coming down in hard, frozen particles
like sifted sands. Across the fields
the wind came nipping like sharp
toothed terrier, and Hobo Jim glanced
anxiously about through the gloom.
He had been released from the coop
only that day after two months OF con
finement for having been caught with
. dead turkey In his possession. and
he shivered a bit beneath his thin
clothes as he hurried along the lone
road To make matters worse he was
hungry, broke and friendless. and to
be hungry, broke and friendless upon
Christmas eve is hard enough luck
for any man. Then as he peered, he
saw through the darkness of the road
side a glimmer Of light that twinkled
before his eyes like great star OF
hope and he paused with his gaze fast
ened wistfully upon it.
With caution grown OF long ex-
perience he passed quietly to the back
of the building and peered through a
window. He could see into the dining
room from here, and as he gazed and
shifted at crack deep within him his
stomach began clamoring like fam
ished wolf pack. for within a dozen
feet of him was table piled high with
good things to eat, while about 1t the
gorged family still sat nibbiihg.
There is enough left for a dozen
lunches, and still things TO throw
away" he muttered as his eyes roved
over the board. Much encouraged by
the sight he stretched forth his
! knuckles in a timid tap. then putting
on his most woebegone face stood
awaiting his fate with heart that
fluttered anxiously.
The door opened and man stood
before it peering into the darkness.
And as the lamp light from within fell
upon the hobo's cringing form, the
face Of the one upon the threshold
darkened until 1t matched the night
so 1t is you-sneaking around here
and looking for more Of my turkeys.

Of tough on the kid" thought the
hobo from his hiding place but It
was no fault of his and anyway he
had troubles enough Of his own.
Midnight came and for the last
hour all had been still AS cavern.
Cautiously. silently, Jim backed out Of
his lair and rising to his feet stood

Then he gave a snort Of disappOint.

the barren shelves to fiji one corner
OF his hollow stomach. and here were

crept out again
From where he stood he could see
the interior OF the dlmly lighted room

him. With the tread Of a Frowling
fox he stepped to the threshold and

peered around the corner The boy
was sleeping now, while beside the
bed the woman was sitting with head
dropped forward as worn out from
her long vigil she had fallen asleep in
the midst of her watching. And az
he gazed at their tired faces there
came to jim a picture Of many long
wears before, picture OF when he
had been boy and sick as this one
now was. when a woman had sat be.
side him the long nights through CIV
ing him his medicine and ministerinR
to him as she read--what WAS it She
had read? Yes, he remembered now.
"Movn blessed to give than to re-
ceive." That was 1t. He had never
had grep' deal of confidence In
these wore md had never tried them
out, still HI had sometimes thought
that one day 40 would put them to
the test. But he had never had enough
for himself, let alone others, while
now-his eyes fell upon the stocking
hanging from the mantle and queel
look came creeping over his face
They certainly were In tough luck

drew it, and stretching forth a lon
