Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-06-27

The Republican party reaftirms its in
tention to uphold at all times the au.
thority and integrity Of the courts, both
state and federal, and it will ever in.
sist that their power to enforce their
process and to protect life, liberty and
property shall be preserved inviolate.
Duty Of tho Courts.
An orderly method is provided under
our system of government by which
the people may, when they choose, al
ter or amend the constitutional provi'
sions which underlie that government.
Until these constitutional provisions
are so altered or amended in orderly
fashion 1t is the duty Of the courts to
see to it that when challenged they are
enforced.
That the courts, both federal and
state, may bear the heavy burden laid
upon them to the complete satisfaction
of public opinion we favor legislation
to prevent long delays and the tedious
and costly appeals which have 80 Of.
ten amounted to q denial Of justice in
civil cases and to failure to protect
the public at large in criminal cases.
Against Recall Of Judges.
Since the responsibility Of the ju.
dietary Is so great the standards of ju.
dicial action must be always and every.
where above suspicion and reproach.
While we regard the recall Of judges
as unnecessary and unwise, we favor
such action as may be necessary to
simplify this process by which any
Judge who may be found to be derelict
In his duty may be removed from
Office.
Together with peaceful and orderly
development at home the Republican
party earnestly fayors all measures fol
the establishment and protection of the
peace Of the world and the develop
ment of closer relations between the
various nations Of the earth.
It believes most earnestly In the
peaceful settlement of international
disputes and the reference Of all JUS
ticiable controversies to an Information
al court Of justice.
The Anti-monopoly Law.
Tho Republican party Is opposed tc
special privilege and to monopoly. II
placed upon the statute book the in
terstate commerce act Of 1887 and the
important amendments thereto an(
the antitrust act of 1890, and it hal
consistently and successfully enforceG
the provisions Of these laws. 1t will
take no backward step to permit thu
re-estab lishment In any degree OF con
ditions which were intolerable.
Experience makes It plain that thu
business Of the country may be car
rled on without fear or without dis
trust and at the same time without re
sort to practices which are abherren
to the common sense Of justice.
New Trust Legislation.
The party favors the enactment o
legislation supplementary to the exist
ing antitrust act which will define q
criminal ofrenses those specific act
that uniformly mark attempts to re
strain and monopolize to the end tina
all who obey the law may have
guide for their action and that thos
who aim to violate the law may tn
more surely be punished. The sam
certainty should be given to the Law
prohibiting combinations and monopo
lies that characterize other provision
of commercial law, In order that N
part of the field Of business may b.
restricted by monopoly or combina
ton; that business success HONORABLE.
achieved may not be converted int
crime and that the right Of every maj
to acquire commodities and particu
larly the necessaries Of life In an opel
market uninfluenced by the manipula
ton of trust or combination may b.
preserved. -.
Federal Trade Commission.
In the enforcement and administra
ton Of federal laws governing inter
state commerce and enterprises i'm
pressed with public use engaged
therein there is much that may be com
mitted to federal trade commission
thus placing in the hands Of an admin
istrative board many of the function!
now by necessity exercised by thu
courts. This will promote promptnes!
in the administration Of the law ant
avoid delays and technicalities incident
to court procedure. :>s.~
Tho Tariff Plank.
We reaf11rm our belief in protective
tariff. The Republican tariff policy has
been Of the greatest benefit to The
country, developing our resources, di
versifying our industries and protect
ing our workmen against competition
with cheaper labor abroad, thus estab
