COURTS DUTY
TO INTERPRET,
NOT MAKE, LAW
Comment Of Chief Justice
PennewiII Before Reading
Opinion on Hazel Statute
LEGISLATURE JUDGE OF
WISDOM OF ENACTMENT

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL
GEORGETOWN, Del, Oct. l0.-Chief
Justice James Pennewili. preliminary to
reading tho opinion of the court on the
question Of the constitutionality Of the
Hazel anti-shipping liquor law, in Gen
sral Sessions Court here on Wednesday,
had the following 20 say: "lhe court is
prepared TO announce its decision upon
the questions raised in the case, and ar
gued at the last term, but before read
ing the opinion ! wish to say, speaking
for every member of the court, that
nothing which may have been said by
any one outside Of this room, or since
the argument, has had the slightest in
luence upon MS in reaching our decision.
II may be entirely unnecessary TO make
this statement, and il would not be
made except for the newspaper contro-
Versy that has hecn recently engaged in
respecting this case. We wish TO say
that our decision was reached and the
opinion | am about 20 read was entirely
prepared, az least a month ago, and be-
lore said controversy began in the pub
Tic press.
And inasmuch as there seems TO be
function and duty Of the court in decid
ing a case of such general interest as
the present one, we desire TO make this
further statement; This case must be
determined like any other that comes
before us, that il, according to what we
believe 20 be the law. Indeed, we have
no discretion, and but one duty, which
Is TO declare the law as we understand
il. We do not make the law and have no
power OF right 70 unmake IL if II was
constitutionallv enacted. Under our
system Of government the Legislature is
the sole Judge Of what are proper sub
iects of legislation, subject only 70 con-
stitutional limitations; and the neces-
sity and wisdom of any particular act
cannot be reviewed by the court; IL is
exclusively for the law-making body to
decide.
what we desire 10 make plain is this
that the court in passing upon the va
liditv of a statute has no discretion at
oil; il cannot say whether IL was wise
or unwise, necessary or unnecessary
proper or improper. With the wis
dom, necessity OF propriety Of legis
lation we can have nothing whatever e
DO under oilr judicial oaths. The powe
or authority Of the legislature to pas.
the statute is the only question for tn
consideration Of the court, and If th'
mower Is found 10 exist under the law
II absolutely controls the court. Thii
statement has been made in order TIA
every ono may clearly understand tina
our duties arc judicial and not legisla
tive: and that we dare not encroaci
upon the prerogatives of the law-mak
ing BODY which is coordinate branoi
