JUDGES WHO WOULD RECALL THEM
SELVES,

The Reree OF Retietrs which. under ordinary
circumstances Is scarcely more than an ably ed
tied record of world events, in Its April
issue devotes much space to discussion Of Col
onei Roosevehs constitutional ideas. In which
|. seems to take distinct bias toward and in
favor OF the recall" OF judges Quoting at some
little length from the report Of the Union League
Club denouncing the principle. the RerieW Of
Reriers says with reference to the contention
that the recall would operate TO undermine the
Independence OF judges and give their opinions
political bias:
These are very strong and positive assertions
Yet ar best they can only be the expression OF

opinion. Nothing uncomplimentary as
to the character OF our American judges has ever
come to attention the statements made
in the paragraphs quoted above.
We think that both the resolutions of the
Union League Club and the comment of The Re-
pie'e II Rerieus essentially wrong The
Club thinks that the adoption of the recall
would operate TO cause those judges ON the
bench to lose In Independence and dignity. on
account OF the effort to substitute the fckle
gauge OF the popular vote to the exact science Of
the law; The Rerteio Of Reriecs thinks that
they would not be so swayed and that the state
ment that they would be is a disparagement OF
their judicial character. Is 1t not the truth that
~ such an event. every judge worth his salt
would voluntarily recall himself?
In this matter of the recall the one result
consistent with the IDEA that the great body Of
the judiciary is upright and incorruptible would
be that the Judge VINO took his office seriously
would relinquish The office, rather than submit
himself and his decisions to the arbitrament of
occasional aud uniformed passion. Necessari-
~ the recall would in that case leave its own
have no more Idea of the sanctity Of judicial
place than that now apparently to be held of

At Chester Virginia, the boarded by
a set OF young men boys, who we have since
learned are students. The conduct Of these
young is impossible of description. Their
personal remarks insulting. their coarse
songs obnoxious. that only when we came
near enough 70 the city's limits to hope for the
city's protection did we venture to enter pro-
test.
We asked the conductor whether he held police
authority and when answered affrmatively we
then asked why he had not exercised such au-
thority to insure a safe and comfortable trip
10 passengers.
There are other details in this remarkable let
ter, which 1t Is needless for us 10 enlarge upon.
The point is that from whatever reason, party
of rowdy students undertook to take possession
OF an intercity. car and conduct themselves with
out respect either to the comfort self respect
OF other passengers. Our correspondent asks
whether the responsibility rests with the street
car company or the College We answer unre-
servedly. with the street-car company. The col
lege authorities had no means of knowing what
their students were doing. how they were going

| attis~hat being done. When he fatied to
exercise his authority. he laid himself open the
one or two ugly charges. of indifference or cow

We have never been able TO endorse the prac
tice of giving police powers to servants Of public
service corporations. Liberty ia too dear a
thing to be thus jeopardized by sort Of informal
authority to ride over H. Cases without number
come up where perfectly irresponsible persons
j authorized by the law to commit acts OF the
baldest sort of tyranny But there are or
two things which are fundamental in the
growth of transportation companies. Perhaps
the most basic of these is the duty of such cor
porations to insist that their servants, without
| regard TO police power" give protection to pas
sengers II they are overnumbered at any time
they can at least call on constituted authority
when II is available. If the police power" given
to conductors and such like ia to be utilized only
to enable them to bring authority Of law to bear
on more or less personal disputes with men
while operating TO leave women defenseless
against insult, IT is high time that 1t should be
taken away
The important thing Is, that. with or without
the glamor of official connection there should be
bred into the souls of public service employees
the necessity of making travel safe and pleasant
for the women and children who patroniza their
