THE COURTS.
To The Tribune:
Galveston, Tex., Aug. 9.—It seems
to me that the Texas Bar Association,
at its recent meeting in Galveston,
touched but lightly one great cause of
the present discontent of the people
over our courts. It is notable that
all men engaged in the profession of
law leave this cause in the back-
ground. It may be interesting and in-
structive to know as to how men in-
other professions (farmers, laborers)
look upon our present-day judges and
judicial system.
The object is to contrast the evident
disregard which lawyers show toward
the evils of corruption with the im-
portance given this evil by the lay-
men.

that “incidental evils in the adminis-
tration of our government in its pres-
ent constitutional form would all be
cured by the sure, safe, though per-
haps slow, education of the public con-
science.”
I think that there are probably only
two distinct opinions prevalent among
the farmers and laborers: First, that
the judges of our courts nowadays are
often corrupt; second, that a person
does not know what to expect from a
court, no matter how simple and evi-
dent the proof may be in a case. Com-
paratively few of the farmers and la-
boring people know anything about
the delays incident to reversal of cases
'and the consequent expenses.
Our present system does not make
dishonest judges. They can under the
system decide nearly all cases Justly,
if they have the will to do so.
It must not be assumed that the peo-
ple as a whole are superior morally,<■
to our judges. The power of recall
would in some instances place tempta-
tion in the path of the people; they
are not likely to fall, however, because
of the trust they still have in the in-
tegrity of the judge. Yours truly.

By Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 9.—“Never again”
exclaimed Woodrow Wilson this morn-
ing when he was asked whether hr
would read his campaign speeches, as
he had his speech of acceptance. “I will
never read another speech if I can help
it, ’ he said. “It’s like poison to me.”
Jersey and
Dr. Wilson
spoke extemporaneously, but he read
his speech of acceptance the other day
and apparently, was not pleased with
the task.
Gov. Wilson planned to spend another
day with a potrait painter. He said he
aid not expect to start on his speaking
tour before the first of September.
Are Ever at War.
There are two things everlastingly at
war, joy and piles. But Bucklen’s
, Arnica Salve will banish piles in any
i form. It soon subdues the itching,
President Taft, in his speeches, has
shown that he believes the present dis-
content of the people is due chiefly to
the delays of the courts.
Gov. Colquitt, in his speech at. Sher-
man asks: “Why have any judge, why
not initiate a construction of the law?”
Such a question seems to me ridicu-
lous, coming from such a high official
as the governor of the state. Evidently
Gov. Colquitt does not see why the
people want the initiative and refer-
endum and recall. The people do not
want to legislate if they can possibly
get around it.
Mr. Saner, in his talk to the bar as-
sociation, cites as an ' example the
commerce court row in congress to il-
lustrate the “intemperate judgment” of
the people. Did the dissatisfaction
shown over the decision of the com-
court come, to any extent, from
people not engaged or having an in-
terest in some commercial concern?
The court had not existed long enough
for the people to understand its work
and pass judgment,
cussion over the
aong the farmers.
“The real difficulty” to which Mr.
Saner ascribes 'the discontent of the
people can be applied only to the dis-
content caused by delay and expense.
It cannot be used to refer to the chief
cause of discontent of the ordinary
layman, which I believe is the corrup-
tion of courts. Further on, Mr. Saner
says the judicial department “is the
great moral substitute for force in
controversies.” If it fails in this,
what?
What induced Mr. Biggs to say that
the “law man should be told that no ad-
vance in science can change the max-
ims of equity and the principles of
justice,” he should liave told us? The
layman knows that the principles of
justice are constat, but he believes
that someone else does not. Mr. Biggs
continues, “The bench was never oc-
cupied by abler or more conscientious
men than today.” This, is much like
throwing oil on the fire in trying to
extinguish it. This may also be said
of Mr. Thomas N. Franklin’s statement
