W|GMORE ON POPULAR
WILL IN LAW MAKING
Says People Should Not Concern
Themselves In Technique of
Legislation.

Charlottesville, Va, Jan 4.-"Why
does the law declaration of Legie-
lature that is IL statute have to be
obeyed unbroken by the judge. though
the Legislature is free to unmake and
change the law declaration of the
Judge? Why not reverse this and al
low the judge to modify the legisla-
tive statute in his discretion, while
forbidding the Legislature to override
the decisions OF the Judge? Why, in
deed, must there be two separate
functions? Why not merge them in
the single officer or body of ofiicers?"
Ihese questions were asked tonight
by DR.. John Fl. Wigmore, dean of
the Law School of Northwestern Uni
versity. in the second of the series of
lectures which he is delivering at the
University of Virginia on the problems
Of the law. In answering the ques-
ton: Describe the origin of the
separation of function between Judge
and legislature" he explained its
logical foundation and then proceeded
to inquire whether the Judge should
be the intellectual slave of the Legis-
!ature and OF his own precedent.
Il am not afraid" said DR.. Wig
more, in discussing the need for pro-
fessional, specially trained Legislators.
lest the will of the people will not
prevail. In the first place, every
American is sensitive to public opin-
ion, and an elective Legislator will
never fail to defer to any great popu-
lar demand. In the. next place the
will OF the people has no place in the
details Of technical legislation. l say
that 1t has no business to NEEDLE or
to be considered in framing technical
details. The will of the people does
not know how the professor of chem
istry should teach chemistry. or how
bridge engineer should build his
bridge. The mass of the people, you
and / included, are ignorant of these
matters. and we should be content to
have the technique OF legislation un-
embarrassed by our personal will. l
believe in democracy. and l would
rather emigrate or die than see the
American people Prussianized. but I
do not believe that democracy has to
by synonymous with incompetenCy.'
The third and concluding lecture of
DR.. Wigmore's series will o. delivered
tomorrow night and will he devoted
TO legal problems Of the future. with
particular reference to the United
states of America and it's share of
world legislation.
