CRITICISM BY THE. CHIEF JUSTICE.

Chief Justice White. in his earnest dis
sent from Mondays decision OF the
Supreme Court sustaining a patent
monopoly, recognizes the virtue of criti-
cism of judicial decisions. He gives as
one Of the reasons for using the ex-
traordinarily sharp language which he
employs regarding the opinion OF the
majority the hope that his course may
lead to narrowing the application OF the
decision in the future and that 1t may
serve to call attention to the need OF
legislative action. His criticism Is al
ready being justified by the results
Congress is showing an interest in the
situation and steps are being taken tow
ard securing a rehearing OF the patent
case before a full bench, when 1t is
hoped that the four judges who made
,lp Mondays majority will be found in
a minority. Public interest, moreover,
has been aroused by the Chief Justices
vigorous words, and there is good rea-
son to think that in one way or another
defects in the patent laws will be cured.
The criticism in this instance pos
tPSctS ApANS1 NOhAAN-,
from the Chief Justice. 1t is an exam
pie of the kind of criticism of which
more is needed in this country-authori-
tative, unbiased, fair, but none the less
forceful. If it has the effect either of
bringing about a rehearing and reversal
or a change in the law or restriction
Of the decision in future interpretations
the court will be in a great deal better
position before the public than II yes.
terday's decision had been allowed to
pass almost unnoticed and little UNDER
stood. and when the i'll effects which
the Chief Justice forebodes came to be
felt the public had been told that they
all sprang from decision of the Su-
preme Court rendered some time pre-
viousIy.
Proper criticism of the courts is one
of the most delicate OF functions, yet
there can be no doubt that its effects
are wholesome. Had there been more
Of it In the past it is probable that the
courts would have been kept in closer
sympathy with present day ideals than
they are. The force Of public criticism
in securing good government from the
Legislative and executive departments
New-York tribune., 1912-03-13

and in keeping them truly representa-
tive is universally recognized. The
judicial department alone has been lett
measurably free from criticism partly
because there are times and seasons
when comment on the work of courts Is
improper, as, for example, during the
pr0cress of Il trial, and partly because
intelligent criticism is difficult to any
but members of the bar, and they nave
been naturally reluctant.
The result of not having enough criu-
cism of tie right sort in the past Is the
present reaction. which is bringing Il
GOOD deal of criticism of the wrong sort
and even irresponsible attacks ana Wili
condemnation. while leading some per-
sons TO look with favor upon crude
schemes TO substitute public clamor ana
passion for calm, judicial action
