The "Insidious Lobby

President Wilson rises higher in public
TEEN and in the nations confidence as a result Of
the Mulhall exposures in the lobby investigation
now under way before the United States senate
The president started this investigation
and was laughed at and derided as being the vic
tim of vain maginings. What quiet laugh he
must be having now, at last-and yet how bitter
laugh, for believe President Wilson joins
with all other real Americans in feeling of
shame that fellow countrymen should be discov-
cred thus at work against the interests of the
greatest number of our citizens
AS to Mr.. Watson's alleged share in this in
sidious lobby, this half of the whole of invisible
government it would be unfair to pass judg-
ment on him at this stage of the investigation
He is to have chance to go before the congress-
slonal investigating committee and explain his
connection with the case. We of the district he
represented in congress many years, whose
votes enabled him to rise to prominence in the
councils of the country, can afford to wait until
he has been heard before passing Judgment up
on him.
Should it materialize in the end, however,
that Mr.. Watson Immediately on his release in
1908 from the publics service became employed
in the interests of the public enemy, predatory
wealth, then indeed it is time such record of
duplicity and ingratitude is laid bare.
Meanwhile, for the sake of former assoca-
lions and for his friends sakes, we hope Mr.. Wat
son will conclusively prove that he did not follow
course of betrayal of the interests of his old
constituents in this district

The New and the Old

The cOrralling of Braxtons gambling Joint
camp and the rounding up of Braxton and the
dupes of false fortune wantOnly running the risk
of losing, in the excitement of games of chance,
even more than their stakes, is only incidental to
larger story.
Prosecutor Keller and Sheriff Bayer and
their deputies upheld the law of the state in con-
Quoting this raid. By their action they have
shown unequivocably that their oath of office
means much to them.
The majesty of the law, when the offenders
were brought to trial, represented by Judge
doc" Zimmerman, our august mayor and police
magistrate. Now Judge doc" had such highly
idealistic realization of the meaning of his oath
of office that he let all the offenders go with the
minimum fine in each instance. The true signif-
canoe of this, in view of the fact that it the
second time Braxton had been up for the same
offense, probably lies in that goodfellowship
of Judge Docs that always manifests itself
most strongly just before approaching cleo
ton or primary; but is always more or less in
evidence because Judge doc" is always mind
full of his political fences.
The attitude of Prosecutor Keller and Sheriff
Bayer is encouraging promise that the day
is not far distant when all officials will be
men of sufficiently high calibre to recognize their
duty, under their oath of office, to their commu-
nifty. 1t is refreshing, extremely so, in contrast
to poor, old Judge Docs Anticipated and old
fashioned idea. The old game is so apparent in
these days of an awakened public opinion that
Judge doc" insults the intelligence of the great
majority of Richmond's citizens. 1t is no wonder
they are tired of the old man and his same old,
monotonous methods and going to put him
away in November on the back shelf of the closet
nicely done up in cotton and moth balls.

friction of natural rights then there
was trouble. Our forefathers, many OF
whom believed in taking the law in
their own hands, took their old swords
and muskets and recalled" the judges
by violence. Every one of these insur-
rections was a blow at personal lib
erty, for there is no liberty unless bas-
ed upon the sovereignty of a supreme
law. Every one was an attack upon
what Americans now cherish as the
palladium of their liberties"-the So
Der judgment of the judiciary, calmly
deciding questions far above the mob,
the musket, the sword and the bayo-
net.
Chief Justice John Marshall did
more to establish this splendid princi-
pie than any other American, and the
patriots of this country love and hon.
or him for it.
Now let us dwell moment upon the
fight against the courts in our early
history 1t was a belief in colonial
days, born of hatred for the crown
appointed judges, that no court had
any right to set aside a law enacted
by the referendum at town meeting
or an assembly. The people were the
creators, the courts were creatures.
The people said in the language of the
modern Socialist, that the courts
"usurped their powers" when they
didn't please the knockers"
Recall Produced Anarchy Once.
Then thew recalled the Judges They
didn't use any round about way of re-
calling either. They went after them
with bayonets and clubs, sickles and
scythes. Massachusetts, Vermont, New
Hampshire. Pennsylvania and Con-
necticut were afire with anarchy and
insurgency. At dorchester, Mass,
hundred armed men stopped the old
revolutionary patriot, General Arte-
mus Ward, as he tried to open the
court over which he presided.
The insurgents and "recallers," with
levelled muskets, demanded a reversal
of his recent decision. Growing angry
he exclaimed.
II do not give damn for your bay
onets. You may plunge them into my
heart If you like, but l have sworn to
do my duty; and, by God, will do it."

This was referendum, pure and sim
pie.
AS early as 1920 statutes appeared
in the United States authorizing
towns, counties and states to use lnl-
tiative referendum Local option is mi
tiative referendum. The referendum is
today resorted to in one form or an
other in every state, county and town
in this country. From 1926 to lS47 the
courts of the various states were one
after another declaring referendum to
be constitutional.
Referendum Already Established.
Now, since the referendum is an es-
tablished feature of our government,

fury and a half, has been extended to
cover a great multitude of questions.

Decisions Recall Old.
Neither is the recall Of judicial de-
cisions" new by any means. Our col
onial forefathers and our predecessors
under United States constitutional
government had the recall nightmare
bad The people protested that the
courts had no power to pass upon the
legislative acts of the populat". They
used the very words of the Socialist
platform. For court to render null
and void a law passed by the people
was "usurpation." Persons unfamiliar
with the history of the rise OF the
ton of what it has cost in fierce strug-
giles, mobs, instructions, violence and
bloodshed to establish the supremacy
of the courts over wild and unconst1-
tutional acts of legislation.
AS early as 1778 the courts began
to declare laws void because they were
not in accordance with state constitu-
tons 1t was many years Of slow evo-
luton before the question was settled.
There was fierce opposition to the
courts assuming to be superior to the
people," 1t was said over a century ago
that the courts had no power to
thwart the will of the people by declar-
ing any law unconstitutional" AS long
as this condition prevailed there was
chaos. There was anarchy. OPPOSITION

destroyed the court room and all the
records. This is only one incident of
thousand Of its kind.
When legislatures passed laws pro
hibiting Jews. Catholics. Quakers and
all free-thinkers and 'infdels" from
voting. the courts arose above this
narrow mindedness of the majority
and declared such laws void. The Pu-
ritans enacted that no one should vote

OF the Presbyterian church. The courts
ruled otherwise. Then the populace

In Maryland. presided over by the
Catholic Governor Cecil Calvert, (Or
Lord Baltimore) there was no such
trouble The laws of Maryland permit
ted every citizen 10 vote and every
person to worship in any religion he
chose, free from persecution. The
New England Puritans prayed night
and day for God to send his wrath
down upon the liberty loving Catho-
lies Of Maryland.
Rights Were Denied.
In New England, where they used
the referendum and recall and fought
the courts. the Jews was denied all
rights because he had Crucitied the
Savoir, was an undesirable citizen
and dangerous to good government"
Laws were enacted requiring every vo-
ter to swear to the following: Il do

do acknowledge the Scriptures OF
the New and Old Testament to be Civ

We owe il to such men as John Mar
shall that these infamous laws have
gone to the junk pile. Marshall laid it
down in the case of Marbury VS.. Madi-
son that the Supreme Court could dis
regard any law. state or federal, which
in its opinion was unconstitutional. In
these days of wild theories and insane
demands we should cling to the sheet
anchor of our liberties. Chief Justice
Marshall still speaks to the American
people in these words:
IF the whole legislature should
overstep the bonds of justice and
equity, / would meet ii and say here

er you shall go and no farther"
II Successful, The DeIuse.
The Socialist is the first organized
party in the history of the United
States that has attacked the constitu
ton, the Supreme Court, and the or
ganic law with the purpose of destruc'
ton. The two parties, Democrat and
Republican have fought over interpre-
tations of the constitution; Webster
and Hayne, Lincoln and Douglas de
bated the powers and spoke of that
noble instrument but neither party mol
orators ever dared question the legiti
macy of either constitution or court
No other organized party has ever be
fore called into question the integrity
of the constitution and the Supreme
Court. The demands of the Socialist
platform are:
l. Abolition of United States Senate
2. Referendum and recall.
3. Abolition of the power usurped BY
the Supreme Court of the United
States to pass upon the constitution
atty of legislation.
4. Constitution referred back to the
people by majority vote.
After that the deluge.
