THE RECALL
THE question of recall now prominent
before the people is ot* of tn* most
vital Importance No theory of popular
government would so upset our political
utstuurions a* this pop |Stic crar*
known as the recall.
By request our column tt.s w«*k is
given to ar, editorial which recently
peared in tbe Public Ledger.
It is worthy of the most serious con
sideration of all.
ap
THE CRAZE FOR "DEMOCRACY"
THE initiative and referendum, pri
maries of every conceivable form and
eoinp.umy, the recall, including the
recall for Judges, are having a tremen
dous vogue in the«»- days They are a!i
expressions of a common idea now ex
tremely popster—the desire not oniy
that the people should rule but that
they saoula rul* directly and without
the intervention of those forms of gov
ernment which the experience of the
world and the lessons of history have
abown conclusively to be necessary safe
guard« of a «ane g •vernfuent that shall
protect lile, liberty and property from
the caprice of th-r mob, the tyranny of
temporary majorities and the mistakes
of the thoughtless and ignorant led by
tbe demagogues.
Tbe eager supporters of all these de
vices imagine that they are striving for
an unassailable ideal when they say that
they wish to have the authority of gov
ernment come ' fresh, immediately and
direct from tbe people:" and thus they
show tr.eir Ignorance of he history of
government Pure democracies—where
the they? Lost in the duet heaps of his
tory. Rule by the people directly and
without delay? Who not Insane, would
like to have his life and liberty and
fate submitted to the test of an uproar
ious vote and the Irnm* Hate decision ci
any majority?
Tbe people who are exerting the great
est influence in America today in creat
ing popular opinion as to government
are those who know nothing about it.
it is as if the men picked out by chance
should be intrusted with the task of
conducting a chemical laboratory or of
erecting a bridge across tbe river. It is
a pity that these Constitution makers
or would be destroyers cannot be forced
to read the article by Albert Fink ir, the
North American Review on the Recall
of Judges " Mr. Fink shows pretty clear
ly that the phrate in tne Federal Con
stitution which guarantees to "every
Btate in this Union a republican form of
government" means
re sresentattve
government; that the recall and such de
vices are contrary to the spirit and let
ter of a republican form of government;
that a fundamental principle of a re
publican form of government Is the inde
pendence 01 tne juoiciary; that the re
call would destroy the independence of
tbe Judges and. finally, that even if the
Constitution were not in existence the
degradation of the judiciary by the use
of the recall world he a senseless folly
and a menace to vh* rights and safety
of all men.
Mr. Fink examines the discussions pre
ceding the adoption of the Constitution
and shows by a wonderful array of au
thorities that the very object of fram
ing the Constitution under which this
Republic has waxed great and prosper
ous was to save the people from the pit
falls that have been the ruin of nearly
all democracies
The Constitution of
the United States has been a success be
cause It haB saved the people from
their errors and follies, from Ignorance
and lack of experience. John Randolph
observed :
"That the general object was to pro
vide a cure for the evils under which
tbe United 8tates labored (before the
adoption of the Constitution; ; that in
tracing these evils to their origin every
nan bad found It In the turbulence a r.i
follies of democracy; that some check.

The contention that the peo
ple rule and that the Judges are s- 1
v&nls of the people ar.d therefore to ne
dismissed at will, Mr Fink disposes of
most convincingly
When it is said that the people are
supreme, that they employ tr.e Judges
and stand toward them In the relation i
of a master to a servant, what is meant
is the majority cf the people. Herein
lies the error. The Judg»* are not the
servant* and agents of the majority
The Judges ar* servants of both the ma
jority and the minority and must of ne
cessity be independent of each
''It is one of the peculiar functions of
a Judge in a State governed by laws
and not by men to protect the minority
or the individual, as the case may be.
Though chosen by the majority or by
some person or persons to whom the
power of selection has been delegated,
they »ease, upon induction into office, to
become tbe mere servants at will of
j those by whom they were selected; nay,
they never weit their servants. The
right of selection in no sense carries
witn it such right of domination a* was
i attempted by Charles i. Upon selection
the judges become the servants ot tne
whole people, not of the majority or
class by whom they may have been
chosen,
the
blest
They represent the minority,
weakest class in society; tne num
lndividual, just as much as the
dominant political party, the laboring
or moneyed ciass-s, or the most pottnt
members of the community,
their term of office they are justly an
swerable to no one.
1 -uring
"A powerful minority may well trust
the selection of the Judges to a major
ity, hut the domination of this majority
after selection is quite another matter.
This is tyranny, and as Montesquieu
says, 'the end of all things. -
practice, when taken advantage of by
majorities, as it inevitably mutt be,
be maintained only by arms, and this
power does r.ot always lie in majori
ties."
Such a
can
me constitution, t ie laws, the repub
liacn form of government, the indepen
dent judiciary are all devices erected
and maintained for the very purpose of
escaping the horrors of a pure demo
cracy, from the injustices, the tyrannies,
the follies, whims, caprices and ignor
ance incident to and inseparable from a
direct judgment on a multitude of dlffi
eul tquestions by people who have given
no attention to them or mayhap
swept hither and thither by factional
partisan passion. The Judge vas made
independent because it is expected of
him, for the honor of his
are
or
country, ano
for the protection of the individual, that
he shall be in a position to render an
unpopular decision and defy the world.
No honorable and gifted man should
take a Judgeship if he knows that
result of a mass-meeting led by dema
gogues he may be haled from the bench.
And the leaders and seekerB for popular
favor who are now trying to tear down
the fabric of this Government by ap
pealing to ignorance are either shal
low amateurs in government or desper
ate demagogues, and, in either event,
as a
public enemies.—Public Ledger.

miles from Newark, and connected there
with by the Newark and Delaware City
branch of the P., B k. W. R. R.
Delaware City is not so large nor such
a thrifty, enterprising and growing town
as Newark, although it enjoys natural
advantages which are denied not only
Newark but to all inland towns. Dela
ware City is an oid towr. having teen
founded many years ago. indeed the
State can boast of few settlements that
antedate Delaware City from, an histori
cal point of view. A few years ago at
commencement exercises of our upblic
schools a young lady graduate read a
paper entitled Delaware City—Historical
Points of interest—that proved to be
such a revelation to County Superinten

the points as brought out that he astted
