Taft stands before the country the repository %
the conservative set progressive policies win
regard TO economic advance and constructive
craftsmanship in the direction OF the time-hon-

former President has set forth a radical position
which has 80 slight substratum OF experience
and necessity that he himself casts the graVest
doubt upon the wisdom with which the pohtoai
propositions he advances would be used py the
people He stands forth before the country as
an enthusiastic experimeptalist. As the ponc'eS

Roosevelt's proposition for a popular
reversal of judicial decisions was de-
nounced to-day by DR.. Andrew d. White /.
statesman and diplomat and designated
as Taft delegate to the national con-
vention. as the "most monstrous proposal
ever presented to the American people.
or the people OF any other nation" DR..
White was unsparing in his criticism OF
the Roosevelt plan.
"Of course know that there have been
some unfortunate elections OF Judges
in all parts OF the country, especially
on the Pacific Coast and in the mountain
States" he said. "but the idea that on
that account assemblages Of people
who are not competent to consider fully
judicial questions should reverse the care
ful decisions Of courts is foreign to the
simplest ideas of common sense. II
once that course ia fairly begun. all that
we most pride ourselves upon is gone.
The one thing which the various peo-
pies of the world envy us above all other
institutions is the possession Of the Sg-
preme Court. The most eminent authori-
ties in all parts Of the world speak Of IL
with reverence as the greatest court ever
created and the only one OF its kind that
has ever existed. II. really. the de-
cisions n any of the courts can be reversed
in obedience to popular whim. it logically
follows that all may be.
The greatest Democrat this State
ever knew. Hor>tio Seymour, declared
the Constitution was not established
so much to promote Democracy as to
hold il in check. He was right.
That which has brought on revo-
utions and destroyed States has been
more frequently than anything else the
trampling down OF the rights Of minorities
by brute force exercised by majorities.'
