Y TWO DAYS MORE Judge Humphrey Replies to Roosevelt's Criticism Over Beef Decision THE WEATHER. !3KSH3E33E3 ass ON! A Mm IN ADDRESS AT SPRINGFIELD Declares No Nation Can Long Survive When Judiciary Yields to Pop ular Frenzy. Springfipld, 111., Jan. 23. The first expression from Judge J. Otis Hum phrey in reply to the criiicism direct ed against him by President Roose velt because of his unpopular decision in the beef trust case was made in an n-Mress" yesterday at a meeting of the Springfic" Ad Men's club. "There are m:iny citizens whose ac tion is such that they at least allow us o believe that they expect the ju dicial depanment of the government to be run in accordance with public! sentiment," said Judge Humphrey. "When the day comes let us trust that it may never come that the judi cial branch of government is swerved from it official duty by the clamor of the populace, the end of the govern ment is not far distant. Muvt t Vifl.l to Freuzr. "No government can long survive whose judiciary yields to the popular frenzy that follows for a moment the mere clamor of the unreasoning, tin educated, in that particular case, opin ion of the public or even of the press. "Ijuv is not the simple law of the major number, differing from the will of yesterday and to differ from the will of tomorrow. Law :s not tiie ar bitrary creation of major will or of any will, but it ought to be. as we trust it will ever be, the well rounded, well considered justice of the state, enlightened by the leasonings of the court which eniorces it. You would have little respect. I think, for a court who curbed his views to meet the popular clamor." Itrenllx Acquit till of Hurr. Judge Humphrey referred to the de cision of Chief Justice Marshall, whom he declared to be the greatest judicial character the world has produced, in the celebrated Aoron Burr case, when the public was wildly clamoring for Burr's conviction on a charge of trea son. He emphasized the force of char acter necessary for Justice Marshall to acquit the man in the face of public demand for his conviction. "When I think of Marshall in his great action in the Burr case," de clared Humphrey, "I cannot but regard him as having made a perpetual call on American judges of all succeeding ages to stand for the administration of the law as it is written and stand above the waves of the popular voice; to stand so high that popular criti cism can never reach him, and, hav ing done all, to stand."
