considered in the same way and upon
the same presumptions and with no
greater respect for authority than in
the case of political opinions, the au-
thority of the courts will inevitably
decline, the independence of the jul
dicial branch will cease, judicial deci-
sions will interpret the law always to
suit the majority of the moment, and
the recall will be the natural and
logical expression of the relation to
be assumed between the people and
the courts"
The cause OF the impotence, said
Senator Root, does not arise from
any deterioration in the character of
the Judges and he stated it as his
belief that there never had been a
time when the favor of the rich or
of men powerful in social or business
affairs played so small a part in de-
termining the selection of judges. Ad-
hitting technicalities and delays
which impede the course of justice,
the speaker thought the courts less
responsible for these shortcomings
than the bar and justly so inasmuch
as the bar makes up great part of
all the legislatures and "is RESPONSE
BILE for the stupid and mischievous
legislation regarding procedure which
hampers the courts in their efforts
to do Justice
at is the bar" he continued
which knowing all the facts and
familiar with all the evils, insists up
on the continuance of our method:
to promote the immunity of criminals
and the hindrances of justice to the
point of denial
When the speaker had outlined the
new conditions that confront the
country incident to the extraordinary
industrial development of the las
half century and which demand the
readjustment of relations between
great bodies of men, and the estab
lishment of new legal rights not con
templated when existing laws wer,
passed or existing limitations upoI
the powers of government were pre-
scribed in the constitution, he de
lclared that the readjustment of neces
sity be a gradual process.

education, the spread of true under
standing of facts and full discussion,
the process of readjustment is being
worked out and will be worked out
to conform to the mature, instructed,
considerate judgment of the self-gov-
erning people of the country"
Turning to the problem of the appli-
cation of the law, Senator Root re-
minded his hearers that the judge is
always confined within the narrow
limits of reasonable Interpretation
and said: 1T is not his function or
within his power to enlarge, or i'm
prove, or change the law. His duty
is to maintain it, TO enforce it,
whether it be good or bad, wise or
foolish, accordant with sound or un.
sound economic policy. 1t is very i'm
portant to have reformers and advo-
Gates of all good causes and thought
full and public spirited citizens who
are keenly alive to the defects in our
system of laws and solicitous to find
means to cure them. But the courts
are excluded, by virtue Of the special
duty imposed upon them, from playing
any of these parts. Their duty is to
maintain and enforce the law as it is
at the moment, to interpret it in sin.
