Hughes really meant, It is neces-
sary to 90 back to an evening In
May, 1907, when, in an atmOs-
phere Of tense excitement, he
found himself quite Unexpectedly
forced to debate with one of the
opponents of the Public Service
Commission bill that he, as Gov.
ernOr, had sponsored"
RESPECT FOR COURTS
The lawyers in the hire of the
special interests opposing this bill
to regulate public utilities were
cunningly attempting to emascu-
late the measure by placing the
power to administer it in the hands
of the courts.
Throwing aside his prepared
speech Mr.. Hughes went to the
defense of the courts in these
words:
81 have the highest regard for
the courts. My whole life has
been spent in work conditioned
upon respect for the courts. I
reckon him one of the worst
enemies of the community who
will talk lightly of the dignity Of
the bench. We are under a
Constitution, but the COnStitu.
tiOn is what the judges say 1t Is,
and the judiciary is the safe.
guard of our liberty and of our
property under the Constitution.
I do not want to see any direct
assault upon the courts; nor do
1 want to see any indirect assault
upon the courts.
"And, 1 tell you, ladies and
gentlemen, no more insidi0us
assault could be made upon the
independence and esteem Of the
judiciary than to burden it with
these questions Of administra-
ton which lie close to the public
impatience, and in regard to
which the people are going to
insist on having administration
by officers directly accountable
to them When there is q
real judicial questiOn-let the
courts have it and every good citi.
zen will stand aside and hope
to see it decided fairly and with
even,handed justice"
There is no excuse, Of course,
for the distortion Of the meaning
of Mr.. Hughes.
It is merely one Of the tricks to
which the enemies of an independ-
ent judiciary have resorted in the
effort to undermine the faith Of
the American people in the hon.
esty of "the Great Tribunal" which
is "the living voice Of the Consti-
tuition"

and back, beyond reckoning, men
have been taught to fear and de-
spiSe themselves-blame them
selves ceaselessly.

and fear. Naked savages covering,
cruelty beset by the consequences
of their own blundering. Who were

was life all about? If a man could
answer these questions he might
walk free.
But no man could answer them.
So the willy Medicine Men made
hellionS of us all-taught us that
we were false, foul creatures,
doomed to failure unless redeemed
by suffering and shame.
UNSOLVED MYSTERY
And we believed them. Believe
them still, in spite of our seeming
confidence and conceit. Outward
ly, before the watching world, we
swagger, bully and boast. But IN
wardly we cringe, hating and
dreading the unsolved mystery Of
ourselves, nagged by a constant
sense OF guilt of weakness. Often,
indeed, turning our own abase-
ment into a hideous, secret indul-
gence-or using it as a public
