sidered competent 20 deal With the
Law. how then can NC expect OF an
ticipate that the people AZ large are

OF our courts. yes 10 reverse their de-
cisions. and TO tell them what they

Upon what theory Of public good
does America persistently cripple and
distruzt the work OF its judges,
Why do we 30 persistently turn In
search for sound administration TO
our legislature which has SO con-
stsntly failed US and away from the
judiciary. which for generations has
had no adequate opportunity to serve
US effectively?
! answer that II Is because OF the
inherent d!strust OF the ignorant OF
those competent to deal with the law !:
the devils to the sound administra-
ton of justice which are Gripping
the power OF the Judge at every turn
by constitutional restrictions or statu-
tory enactmens are sufficiently obvi-
Gus. is much more difficult to
recognize the actual dangers against
which society is being protected.
The power and fexibility OF judic.
ial administration is manifestly due
to the circumstance that IL embodies
the use OF reason as applied to the
facts OF individual cases. Reason IL
destined, ultimately, to be supreme.
and TO fetter reason is to revert to
anarchy.
To invoke. the doctrine OF the recall
OF judicial decisions is to subordin.
IN
The people of the United States
have proven the fact that they are
! able to govern themselves, but they
have yet to demonstrate to the world
that the people at large are able to
construe the laws. IL so why the nee.
easily for the elaborate preparation
of the law student?
AS has been aptly said. "The people
recalled the decision OF Plate and
Jesus Christ and crucified, withou,
cause"
To place into the hands OF those
who are not qualified to deal there
with, such an unwarranted power is
TO invite calamity. to incite mob rule
and to destroy the very foundation
OF our government.
l submit that the method OF i'm
parchment of our judiciary is made
quate and that some more speedy
method should be devised, and car
be devised by our Legislature, but &c
recall a Judge meerly because his de
cision. whether right or wrong, is un
popular. is the heighth Of folly and
sure to bring disaster.
| Would IL not place into the hands
or the big Interests" to power 10 re
move as well as to elect? II is no,
giving to them double the hold thai
they now have?
Why should any Judge be removed
without just cause. without such
cause as makes him unfit for the OF.
/ fee?
Very Respectfully.
