SAySTHISCOUNTRY
IS GOVERNED
BY LAWYERS
All Power Lies at Feet of a
judicial 0bigarchy"
COURTS ARE DOMINANT
Chief Justice of North Carolina Says
People Have Lost Their
Rights

New York, Jan. 2S.-DeclarinG that
all the power OF government, both
federal and state, lies at the feet of
a judicial oligarchy," composed of
the lawyers OF the United States.
Chief Justice Walter Clark of the
North Carolina supreme court last
night in an address at Cooper union,
warned his fellow jurists throughout
the country to take heed lest their
power prove their own undoing. Dis
cussing Government by Judges,
Justice Clark said:
In this country, as in all countries
The control of the government is in
the hands OF the few We have lea N
ed that the form of government
amounts TO little. The real question
is where does the control of govern
ment resideY In 1776 we issued
declaration proclaiming the rights of
mankind and their equality and free
dom. And then the champions OF
government by the few quietly but
effectively took control of the govern
ment.
The Overwhelming preponderance
of the Judiciary was unexpectedly
created in 1903 by a decision OF the
supreme court of the United States.
without line in the constitution to
authorize it. when that body assumed
the right to veto any act OF Congress
they chose to hold unconstitutional.
The doctrine was promptly seized up
on as a 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 has practically
made the court the dominant power
in every state in the Union. When
ever any progressive statute has not
been in accord with the economic
views entertained by the courts they
have generally exercised their power
to declare such statue constitutional
because it was not due process Of
law"
Justice Clark said that il the con
stitution really had given Judges the
right to set aside a statute. il would
have given the legislative branch the
same power IN the case OF am execu-
tive Veto However plausible the
arguments in favo. of judicial supre-
macy" he continued, Its friends can
not point TO a line in the constitution
which confess it,"
In warning his brother Judges
against over-stepping their authority
the speaker declared that Justice
Harlan has well said when the Amer
lean people come to the conclusion
that the judiciary OF this land is us.
urping TO itself the functions of the
legislative department OF the govern.
ment we viii find trouble. Ninety
millions Of the people-all so.ts OF
people-are not going TO submit 10
the usurpation by the judiciary of
the functions of other departments
of the government and the power on
its parts to declare what is the public
policy of the United States"

WILSON OPPOSES
FREE TOLLS FOR
j. S. VESSELS
Says Act OF Congress Violates
Hay-Pauncefote Treaty
SENATOR PAGE COMEDIES
Vermont Member Of Canal Commit
tee Says He Has Always Object
ed to Exemption

Washington. Jan. 2S.-How to dis
pose Of the Panama canal tolls ques-
ticn was the subject uppermost in
discussion about the capitol yester-
day when the attitude OF President
Wilson outlined to the senate for
eign relations committee Monday
night became public. The presidents
position was asserted TO be that the
provision OF the Panama canal act
which grants toll exemption to Amer
lean coastwise vessels is in violation
OF the yPauneefote treaty which
prcclaims that the canal shall be free
and open 10 the vessels Of commerce
and war OF ali nations ION terms OF
entire equality" and that Charges of
traffic should be just and equitable"
Before any definite action is taken
in congress II was said last night by
administration Leaders a statement
frc.n the president on the question
will be awaited. President Wilson
himself, after the night conference
with the senators, said he would pro
claim his views on the subject at a
future time" Three courses are OPP
on to congress. Great Britain. which
has persistently opposed the toll ex-
emption for Anne 'ican ships. has Of
fered 10 arbitrste the question rs 10
It's being violation Of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. The majority in
congress is believed TO be opposed to
this, maintaining that the United
States should settle the issue for it,
self. Another course Is to carry into
effect the resolution submitted by
Representative Adamson, chat. ri-n
OF the interstate and foreign com
MERGE committee. which would sus-
pend TO- two years the operation of
the provision exempting Anne rican
ships from the payment Of tolls.
Should this be adopted, diplomatic
negotiations could continue IN Inc
meantime. The third proposal is
that Congress repeal the free TOT
provision. recognizing that ii is in Vi
olation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Some democratic senators who voted
for free tolls now are ready to vote
for the repeal. Representative Ad-
amson said yesterday that his COM
mittee undoubtedly would report the
free tolls suspension bill TO the
House favorably, bur that this action
would be held up pending definite
word from President Wilson.
Senator Chiffon OF West Virginia,
who championed the exemption pro-
vision, said he had studied the treaty
question carefully and had come 10
the conclusion that the canal act did
not violate the t-eaty II have great
respect fer the opinions of the presi.

arguments than have yet been ad-
vanced before | could change my
mind on the question Senator
Page of Vermont. republican mem
Der of the canal committee. said he
always had been opposed to the ex-
emption Of American ships from the
canal tolls. but he expressed the be-
lief that the majority OF the canal
committee would take a firm stand
to uphold the law as Il stands.

THE CAMPAIGN CLOSED BY
JOHNSON AND Ole HANSON
Republican and Bull Moose Candidates Make
Final Appeal for Support Last Night,
In Theatre and on Street
BOTH ARE HEARD BY LARGE CROWD
Hanson Has Good Crowd on Street, While
Johnson Talks to Filled Theatre ole Talks
Buncombe and Johnson Avoids Issues

The campaign in Aberdeen closed
last night with Republican and Pro
gressive meetings, the former with
Congressman johnson the chief speak
er, in the Bijou theater, and the lat
ter ON the corner of Heron and G
streets, where Ole Hansen held forth
; to about 300 people.
Hanson's AiIuring Promises.
Hansons plea for humble votes was
quite alluring to his audience, COM
posed as it was largely Of working
men, was to the effect that he would
see to it that wages of the Pacific
Coast was not reduced to the level
of the Atlantic seaboard, but that he
would raise the eastern scale to the
western level Just how he was to
accomplish this feat he did not reveal,
but, like the true demagogue he is,
just made the bald assertion and let
it go at that.
One promise made by Ole listens
good, and appears quite feasible, that
was to remove the limit on postal
savings deposits and loan the funds
to actual settlers on land on long
time mortgages at 4 per cent inter
est, a measure that if adopted might
be of great aid in settling up the
logged lands of Washington. Still,
one could not help being impressed
with the fact that the object might
be attained without inflicting Ole up
on the United States Senate.
The johnson Meeting Good
The Johnson meeting filled the BIZ
jou auditorium comfortably with
few in the balcony, but it was any
thing but an enthusiastic audience.
1t evidently represented all parties,
people who had come to hear the con-
gressman either through personal
friendship, although of different polit-
ical views, or opponents who came
to hear what explanation he would
UldkO Vi Tie dllcSdtlOuS vi lUc OppOS-
ing candidates. The audience main
tanned an apathetlc demeanor through
out the evening, in fact, there was
little in the speeches to arouse en-
thusiasm.
e. e. Boner Opens Meeting
The meeting was presided over by
l.. Fl. Brewer, of Hoquiam, who in
troduced E. e. Boner, candidate for
State Senator, who made an old-fash-
ioned standpat speech in the course
of which one was forced to the con-
clusion that he had entirely forgot
ten the elections of two years ago
when his party was so thoroughly re-
pudiated by the nation that it carried
but two minor states of the union.
He credited the republican party
with the enactment of the initiative
law, while condemning the law for it's
crudity, and dropped the subject
without taking the audience so far
