GERMANS DIE LIKE HEROES
Little Rear Guard Stood Ground
Against the French Till Last
Man Perished.

e.-Recognition is given Ger

correspondent with the French OF the
Corriere Della Sera, in n recent arti-
Gle on the fighting about Chambry.
Along the road of Chambry a story
of combat of man against man was
told by the dead" wrote Mr. Barzini
"A troop Of Germans who had been
left behind TO guard the rear. and
had taken cover in a ditch along the
road, offered resistance to the very
last-the last dead Frenchman lay
three meters from the ditch. Then
the storm passed over them and killed
the last one. Stabbed through and
through with the bayonet, the German
soldiers lay against the embankment
in row Bent bayonets and broken
rifles spoke of the violence of the des-
perate struggle.
The first in the row was n SER
geant. II seemed that even in death he
still uttered commands. Another
group of dead lay about the body of
The similarity of expression on the
faces of the dead was striking. Only

officer. There was a sort OF fraternity
among them In death The dead Ger
mans still had their knapsacks on their
backs, were splendidly dressed. and

FEW NOW WHO FAVOR RECALL
Roosevelt Idea Seems to Have Been
Relocated to the List Of Ex-
ploded crazes.

The theory OF the recall OF judges
which reached enactment In some
states and was widely advocated by
the more radical elements in others,
seems to be losing ground and gradu-
ally falling into the list OF exploded
crazes. One OF the prominent exam
Piles OF the change is Governor Osborn
OF Michigan, who was two years ago
advocating the nonsense OF the Pro-
gressive program. He now pereeives
the weakness OF the proposal for sub
hitting judicial recall TO popular cleo
ton and advocates the election Of
judges for life in order to free them
from political domination. But he
mixes up the matter by talking about
the removal OF unfit judges by petit
ton at popular elections, which would
be putting their official tenure under
political influence.
In the advocacy of leaving the judi
cial power uninfiuenced by politics
there is no cultivation OF the belief
that the judges are perfect. They are
human like every other instrumental
ity. But the undoubted need of i'm
dency to observe prescrib I'd forms
rather than to deal out justice is not TO
be met by making them subject TO the
favor of politics or making their deci-
sions liable TO be overturned by the
popular opinion at a given election.
1t is essential to the administration of
justice that it shall be as free as pos
sible from subservience to the popular
within of the movement This is only
to be done by making the judicial
tenure either for life or for long
terms except in cases where the mis-
conduct is 50 fragrant as to require
removal by Impeachment
1t should be understood that both
courts and legal practice require posi-
tive reforms. But even as they are,
they are better than any other known
forms of setting the questions with
which they deal.

TAFTS KEEN PROBE
Former President Exposes Bun
combe in Clayton Law.
Man Of Straw Set Up by the Demo.
Gratis in Their Specific LesisIa-
ton Is Demolished in
Mastery Fashion.

Former President Taft is no less
the able defender OF the reign of law
in American life than he was when
passed under judicial inquiry every
policy proposed. every movement
launched. every piece of legislation
contemplated or sought to be passed
With it all he is not a legalist He
never forgets that the mint and the
cummin have place along with the
law and the judgment. With him law
Is not an end. but an agency. IL is the
mightiest means to secure public JUS
tice. He never fixes his eyes so stead
fastly upon popular reforms as to
fail to perceive the ramifications and
vicious tendencies that may inhere in
them. He is. never addicted to the
ethical viewpoint so as to suffer from
astigmatism. when he comes to take
account of the immoral implications
OF outcome of acts which in them
selves may be beyond censure 1t is
this able and balancing judgment that
is brought to bear upon matters of
present movement before the Ameri-
can people.
In his address as president of the
American Bar association, a body out
of politics, the former president
showed a spirit of fine impartiality
and a temperament most fortunately
trained to perceive the bearings and
alignments of public measures
Mr.. Taft has pointed to the inev-
liable weakness OF legislation that is
entered upon not in the spirit of public
justice. but in the spirit of parti-
san capitalization. The new laws are
not an enlargement of the restrictive
function of government. They are in
reality a menace to the freedom of
competition itself by reason of the
harassments to enterprise that they
provide.
In respect to the exemption of labor
organizations from the operation OF
the antitrust law. the Clayton meas
ure is a delusion and a snare Mr..
Taft shows that 1t is merely so much
partisan buncombe. He takes high
ground for the rights of labor organ
izations and points out that the COM
mon law grew up unfavorably to
them. But the conclusion of the whole
matter as contained in the Clayton
law he sets forth in the statement
Those OF us who never thought that
this ''-anti-labor injunction agitation
was anything more than buncombe
seem to be vindicated by the failure
Of the statute to remedy the much
heralded and so-called abuse on the
judicial power" The man of straw
the Democrats have set up in their
specific legislation in behalf of labor
is seen in it's real mockery as abso-
lutely providing nothing in addition
to the rights that labor now has at
law.
In his masterful survey Of the field
OF public acts and measures Mr. Taft
has done a fine work of patriotism
and OF sanity. He has shown the
puerility and inconsequential nature
OF much that the Democratic party
and it's president refer to in glittering
generalities with satisfaction and pride
