THE RECALL OF JU )GES
Proceedings of a Session of the Illinois State Bar Association
April 26, 1912, 8 O'clock P. M.
CLOSING ARCUMKXT
Observe there are only two classes of
cases in which the Supreme Conrt is
vested with origins! jurisdiction—the
representatives of sovereign states, such
a s ambassadors, ministers and consuls;
second, where a state is a party to the
controversy.
No complaint is made of our courts
growing out of their original constit
utional jurisdiction. The complaint arises j
out of the exercise of their appellate jur- J
isdiction. Note this fact: That the con- j
stitution expressly provides thatastoj
such appelate jurisdiction the Supreme
Court shall be subject to such exceptions i
and such regulations at the cougress
shall make. Any man of average sense
reading this provislsn would see that
congress had control over the court. Yet
everybody knows the contrary to be true
—that the court is all the while over and
above congress and absolutely controll
ing the legislation of congress.
Let congress provide that no law shall
be held unconstitutional except by the
unanimous judgment of a federal court
and a large part of the opposition aud
objection row prevailing against courts
will end, and we will take a long step
toward realizing what Lincoln said*—The
people of these United States are the
rightful masters of both congress and
courts. ’ ’
Permit me to suggest another thing
that will greatly help the administration
of justice and render resort to recall el
ections less frequent, and that is this*
Publicity through the press of the wrongs
and injustice of our courts, which will
help purge our courts as like publicity
has helped to purge our corporations.
A fair, full and fearless report q f t h e
work of each judge, will help the dis
patch, of public business and the snbstan
, _ m hi..j x
tial and economical administration o f
justice. It costs an average of a hundred
dollars a day to run a court and jury. If
four days are put in in the trial of a
cause when one or two should be amply
sufficient, the public treasury ha a been
plundered in the sum of two er three
hundred dollars in that one case. In
addition, the parties employing counsel
hate been forced to pav wholly unnec
essary fees, with the probabilities of
there being more reversible error in a
four days’ trial than in a one or two
day’s trial of the same issues.
SHE WANTED BASE FACTS AND
HIS PROFIT ALSO
The major of a far western citj* once
received the following letter of inquiry : '
“Kind and respected Cir—I see in a
paper that a man named John Sipes was '
atacted and et up by a bare whose knbs
be was trying to get when the she bare

and is be partly from this plaice and all |
about the bare. I don’t know but wliat
he is a distant husband of mine.
“My first husband was of that name 1
and I supposed Isa was killed in the war 1
but the name of the’ man the bare et n p
being the same I thought it might b e
him after all and I ought to know it if
he wasn’t killed either in the war or bj
the bare, for I have been married twise
and there ought to be devorse papers got
up by him or me if the bare did not eat
him all up. dlf it is him, you will know
it by bis having six toes on the left foot

on his front chest and a ankor ou liis

You would not keep a cobbler on the
shoemaker’s bench that occupied a week
in making a pair of shoes, when another
man of average skill and diligence could
make a pair in a day or two ; yet that is
jttst what is going on on the bench.
The potterers, cobblers and technical \
doctrinaires on the bench are met with
; too frequently in our American juris
prudence.
If the press of Chicago were to make
a report annually of t h e cases tried and
| disposed of by each judge of Cook coun

| ty, it would do one of two things : it
J would drive the unfit and unqualified
pottering cobbler off the bench, it would
drive the drone, the idler and the jud
j icial loafer off the bench, or it would
} spur and stimulate the whole judiciary
j to m6re efficient public service.
Some of you have been talking here
about the mob. I Can see you in Ken
tucy, New York and Illinois, going a
round the night before tledton, you
make that old eagle scream, yon poll all
his tail feathers out and you talk a little
about that great wisdom and sovereignty
of the people and that they will act wis
ely on election day, and democracy will
triumph, and all that sort of thing, and
i nobody not even the lawyers and the
1 judges pretend to call that a molx
| (Laughter and applause,) Let ns be fair
about it. The mob knows enough to nom
inate the right man, you haven’t denied
that herd to-night. The mob knows e
nough to elect the right man, wholly
i unknown and wholly untried, but after
j they find him out you say they don’t
, know enough to know whether they will
! keep him or not. The same with the lad
ies, they hire their servants, they pick
[ them a t the back door, perhaps without
| credentials, they have to do the best they
can under the circumstances. The hns
j band reposes that much confidence i n
j them to know enough to pick their own
servants, they ought to. What happens ?
After they have had the servants for a
i month or two the wife wants to dismiss
! them ; the husband comes home at night
! and he says, "You fool, you don’t know
: enough to dismiss them, yon ought to

; let me discharge them.” What does he
i know about the girl in the kitchen ? She

i she is giving good service or stealing the

of experiment; it is a discharging and

Wring. I really think judges are a little
more honest then the average class of
men, bnt yon do not need to fear the
dishonest judge, he is a coward, that i s
the trouble with thort judges. I have
heard it said this afternoon that lawyers
art cowards; they are, but the judges
can go them one better. lama judge
and I have a right to say it. Here is the
point: If we have the courage of our
convictions on this matter we are going
to help the people out and change that
jury from that state legislature and put
this iu the hands of the people under
proper safeguards. And I am just as con
servative a* you are. I will go justfts
far as you will. If they undertake to re
call a judge and fail I am in favor of re
imbursing him out o f t h e state treasury
for all his expense*. If this thing is one
tenth as bad as von good New York fel
lows think it is, you let us try i t and i f
we fail it will kill us fellow* and the
people won’t have any faith i n u s after
wards. That is the best way in the world
for you to do to kill this proposition,
then you can say, ‘‘I told you so.”
(Laughter and applause.)
But our whole s}'stem o f government
was an experiment, tbear was nothing
like it; every provision almost in the
federal constitution was an experiment
and it has worked pretty well. Some
things didn’t work so well because they
say we were laying hands on the judges.
The Daddies themselves laid their hands
on the Ivlectoral College anti said, you
are no good. All yon can do is grant the
people’s will, that is all.
My friend said something about t h[e
judiciary in Canada. Now I know what
the extent of their jurisdiction is. If a
province passes an act that trespasses
upon the rights of the federal govern
ment, then the federal government says
to the province, you haven't any right to
interfere with our business. They haven't
any federal courts there in the various
provinces. Wt have that double-headed
system and that is one of the biggest
farces we ever had. We will straighten
these things out Ly and by. You have
right herein Illinois, three timee as
many judges as they have i n Canada i n
proporfion to your population, we have
xn Ohio, too. We want to do for the
courts what we do for the corporations,
purge them of a whole lot of their
wrongs, their iniquities and their injus
tices. I thank you. (Applause.)
