don from special legislative restriction.
They are demanding from Legislatures
and from Congress that common law
and equitable remedies be suspended
against their methods of industrial war
fare, which rave been declared to be
illegal by the courts. They have sue
ceeded In some OF the States. as they
have succeeded In England. They have
partially succeeded in Congress. but not
as fully as their leaders represent, in
the passage Of that is called the Clay
ton act.
Referendum and Recall.
Another most important development
In this country has been an attack POI
our representative system of govern
ment as n cause VI the corporate and
corrupt control OF politics. II was said
that the system involved the selection
OF agents by the people to act for them
in executive and legislative work who
too often proved faithless. and that the
only method OF carrying on the Govern
ment safely was to dispense with legis-
lative agents and let the people legislate
directly. A most formidable wave Of
public opinion In favor Of such a change
has swept the country and has found
expression In the initiative and the ref
erendum. After a study OF the working
of these Innovations | do not hesitate
TO say that II proves the unwisdom OF
such changes.
The evil OF the recall OF Judges and
judicial decision is. however, much
greater. The tenure OF n Judge or the
right Of the individual ~itigants is to de-
pend on the chance and uncertainty OF
one popular election. In the nature of
the case the people cannot be advised
OF the legal arguments pro and con even
II they could understand them. Again.
the " of "A reckless press would be
enhanced and Justice and equity would
play little part In the result.
Nor is Il true that the general pri-
mary is any less subject to the control
OF a machine and the boss and a politi-
cal organization Than a convention.
Primaries are usually attended by a
minority of the party. In other words,
the result is much affected by the mum
Der who can be aroused to come out 10
vote. and that depends or organization
This places In the hands OF the politi-
clans who have an organization the
means TO control"
Mr.. Taft finally touched upon the
growth of the spirit Of brotherhood. the
philanthropies OF the holders OF greal
fortunes, the awakening Of interest IL
public affairs, the hating Of the mad
rush for dollars" the development Of
