will have, to punish those who stand

said, IF he deals in ideas and issues,

Not All People Are Fitted for

President Says Judges Must Be Left
Free To Dispense Justice As
They See lt-Emphatic
Or Recall.

New York.-With a feeling denucia'
ton Of the principle OF judicial recall,
delivered 10 the Bar Association OF
the State OF New York at its banquet
President Taft concluded a busy even
ing here, which he employed chiefly in
speechmaking at three different
events.
After a plea for simplification of
legal procedure, which he argued with
much earnestness before the company
OF lawyers, Mr.. Taft waxed even more
incisiye in coming to the topic upon
which he evidently felt so deeply.
I'VE do not believe that all the peo-
pie are fitted for popular government"
he said, Some of us don't dare say
so, but do, and the question whether
a people is fitted for popular self-goy-
eminent depends upon the restraint
that the minority can place upon the
majority to see that justice is done.
The judicial recall! The words
themselves are so inconsistent that
hate to utter them. Are we going to
make out Constitution a liquid thing,
so that majority can food the halls OF
justice, decide every action and over
ride with popular passion and
prejudice every principle of this Gov
eminent, the greatest God ever made?
You must bear in mind that this
matter OF judicial recall is being agi-
tated the country over; that the men
speaking for il are many. What l
call your attention TO is that it is
necessary that good people like you
should speak the truth that's in you
in favor OF courts and their indepen-
dence and the restraints Of the Con
stitution that were imposed by the
wisest ancestors any people ever had. -
In reference TO the simplitication of
legal procedure, the President said
that he had had a feeling that the
bar and the bench lowed TO the peo-
pie greater effort toward making the
administration OF law effective and

CHARLES ". MORSE FREED
President Acts On Report Of Surgeon
General Torney That the Banker
Cannot Survive A Month OF
Confinement.

Washington.-P President Taft COM
muted, to expire Immediately, the 10
year sentence for violation of the ma
tional banking laws under which
Charles W. Morse, the New York
banker anG Ice King" served two
years in the Federal penitentiary at
Atlanta.
The communication Of sentence, which
gives Morse his complete freedom
put which, unlike a pardon. does not
restore his civil righis-was granted
upon recommendation ofAttOrney-Gen-
eral Wickersham and Surgeon-Gen-
eral Torney. L. 5. \. According 10 the
Surgeon-General's report to the Presi-
dent on his condition. Morse could not
live one month longer in confinement,
and even at liberty probably would not
live six months.
The White House statement grant
ing freedom to Morse follows:
The President has committed the
sentence Of Charles W. Morse TO eX-
pire at once. This action was taken
upon the recommendation of the At
torney-General. based upon the follow
ing report of Surgeon-General Torney:
A Prisoner, Would Die In Month.
"A careful review of these reports
makes it clear to my mind that he is
suffering from a combination of dis
eases due to degenerative changes
which are incurable and progressive.
The reports show that the condition
of both the kidneys and the heart is
growing worse. regard the attack Of
cardiac dyspnoea, or heart-block. from
which he suffered on the morning OF
the 18th instant, as an ominous occur
renee. In my opinion the prisoners
duration of life will be, in all
probability, less than one month if
kept in confinement. and in the event
of his release under communication of
sentence it is not probable that he
will live as long as six months.
The Acknowledgement, Immediately
following the Presidents action, tele-
graphed to Warden Meyer, of the At
lanta Penitentiary. who was technical
ly in charge of Morse even though he
had been removed TO the Fort Nc
Pherson Hospital, to release the
prisoner. The army surgeons at Fort
Mcpherson were similarly instructed.
Morse will be freed by the telegraphic
orders. it being unnecessary for the
Atlanta authorities to await the formal
warrant OF Communication, which will
be sent by mail.
