Peace Must Be Permanent

Washington, ID. C.-Two develop
ments OF the highest Importance II
connection with preliminary peace ne
gotiations which have been in pro
greas here have taken place.
First President Wilson received q
communication direct from the EN-
peror OF Germany protesting against
the use by the allies OF practIcee con
trary to the laws OF war, deploring the
shedding OF blood and the destruction
OF properly through war brought on
the German empire and intimating a
desire for peace.

for foreign affairs OF Great Britain,
sent q reply to the informal peace
overtuies made ON behalf OF the Ger

and Secretary OF State Bryan, to the
representatives here OF the allies gov
ernment.
The message OF the German emper-
or IL under date of last Friday. On
the same day DR.. Van Bethmann-HolI-
veg, chancellor Of the empire, advised
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador here. that Germany had
not gone into the war for further ad-
ditions OF territory.
II is apparent there is a movement
on the part OF Germany to obtain:
Peace on the basis OF the present |
war status quo.
To place on the allies responsibility
for the war.
TO relieve Germany OF the charge
of wanton destruction OF life and prop
erty.
To explain that the wiplng out OF
the city OF Louvain was necessary, as
! result OF the conduct OF the Belgiana.
As establishing the character OF the
warfare conducted by the allies, the
smporor refers TO the use by them OF
ium.dum bullets, abundant proof of
which, according to his letter, exists.

WILSON'S MEXICAN
POLICY CRITICIZED
Relations of U. s. With Great Britain
Over Canal Tolls and Japansese
Controversy Discussed.

London, Ja7. 29.-Relaitons of the
United States With Great Britain over
Panama canal tolls; the controversy
between Washington and Toxic over
the California land ownership legis-
lation, and President Wilson'S MeXi-
can policy are subjects of lengthy dis
patches today from British corres-
pondents in Washington, but there Is
a singular lack of editorial comment
on these questions. The Pall-Mall
Gazette is the only newspaper to men
tion Mexico editorialIy. 1t says:
president Wilson has laid himself
open to n charge of having chalked up
No Huerta' and then run away. 1t is
a position that becomes worse for
the prestige of the Washington gov
ernment every day on which nothing
happens"
"Financiers here interested in Mex
leo are becoming impatient at the
lack of action shown by President
Wilson. A meeting of the Mexican
section OF the London chamber of
commerce is to be called to adopt the
circular asking members for their
views as to whether 1t would be>ad-
visable for Great Britain to join with
France and Germany in asking Presi-
dent Wilson to take some steps to
adjust the financial position OF Mex
leo"
The summons sent to Sir Lionel
Garden, British minister to Mexico,
to come to London for a conference
has created no surprise here as 1t was
announced on January that this
would be the first step toward his
transfer to Brazil. The six months
for which he was appointed to Mex

ASSERTS NATION IS
RULED BY JUDGES
Justice Clark Warns His Eel
low JuriStS.
ADDRESS AT COOPER UNION
Said Jurists Should Take Heed Lest
Their Power Prove Their
Own Undoing.

New York, Jan. 27.-Declaring
that all the powers OF government,
both federal and state, lie a tthe feet
OF judicial oligarchy," composed of
the lawyers of the United States Chief
Justice Walter Clark, of the North
Carolina supreme court speaking at
Cooper Union tonight, warned his
-jurists throughout the country
to take head lest their power prove
their own undoing. Discussing Gov
ernment by Judges Justice Clark
said:
ut has been said that contented
people have no annals. The present
unrest among the people. strange as
it may seem is one of the best signs
of the times. When people are con-
tent they either are ignorant of bet
ter conditions oil hopleness of attain
ing them.
CONTROL IN HANDS OF FEW.
"In this country, as in all countries
the control of the government is in
the hands of the few. We have learn
ed that the form of government
amount to little. The real question
is, Where does the control of gov
ernment reside?'
I'm 1776 we issued a declaration
proclaming the rights of mankind
and their equality and freedom. And
then the champion of government by
the few quietly but effectivel took
control OF the government.
The overwhelming preponderance
OF the judiciary was unexpectedly
created in 1903 by a decision of the
suprem court OF the United States
without line in the constitution to
authorize it, when that body assumed
their right to veto any act Of congress
they chose to hold unconstitutional
BOON TO SPECIAL INTERESTS.
This doctrine was promptly seized
upon as boon by the special interests
and by all who believed at heart in
the government of the many for the
benefit of the few. 1t practically
in every state in the Union When
ever any progressive statute has not
been in accord with the economic
views entered by the courts, they
have generally exercised their power
to declare such statute unconstitu-
tional because it was due process
of law.
Justice Clark said that If the con-
stitution really had given judges the
right to set aside a statute, It would
have given the legislative branch the
same power in the case of an eXectu-
veto. However plausible" he con-
tinued, the .rguments in favor of
judicial supe. emacy. it's friends can
point to a line in the constitution
which confers it,"
In warning his brother Judges
against overstepping their authority,
the speaker declared that "Mr. Jus
tice Harlan has wellsaid: " When the
American people come to the con-
clusion that the judiciary of this land
is usurping to ITSELF the functions of
the legislative department of the gov
ernment we will find trouble. Niney
millions OF people-all sorts OF people
are not going to submit to the
usurpation by the judiciary OF the
functions of other departments of the
government, and the power on it's
part to declare what is the public pol
icy of the United States."'
