THE SEATTLE STAR | air SE Tilted Bree. Bablished deity by THE ine Publishing Ga Reform Treading Amongst Eggs Starting the campaign for the recall in the progressive state of California, the leading progressive organ advises the “ of emphasis on the fact that the recall is not a blow at the courts but at incompetent and corrupt judges, which is quite a different thing.” % all great reform movements there will be found, out in the van thereof, a small body of sincere but timid militants, with their little salt-cellars in hand, endeavoring to catch the devil a le that old sodium yarn about catching dickey birds, and so we're bound to have them in the matter of reform of the courts Is it true that all that we can hope for from recall of the judiciary is removal of an incompetent or corrupt judge now and then, after great labor and expense? What about the whole system of court procedure, which is plainly arranged to give property an advantage over man; to furnish loopholes to thd accused who have money and deny them to those who are poor? Are incompetency and corruption the only charges brought against courts? Shall we merely pull off the bench a scamp here and there, and leave the condition under which the com mon people are denied substantial justice still a stench in the nostrils of Justice? The United States supreme court has usurped the function of lawmaking. It should be recalled, not because it is incompe- tent or corrupt, for it perhaps is neither, but because it has taken from the people that for which they spent their money and blood to make theirs only. At this time there is going on, in Southern Oregon, prepara tion for the recall of Judge John S. Coke, He is accused of in structing a jury in favor of a wealthy and influential man who was on trial for murder, and who was acquitted Does this means that the people are setting themselves up &s more competent, less corrupt or better posted as to the merits in the case than the judge who has been for vears a student of the laws and who heard all the evidence in this case? Not at all. The people feel that the prisoner got off because he was wealthy and influential; that a poor man wouldn't have got off Theirs is a protest against the atmosphere of the court, the atti tude of the bench, the sentiment of court procedure. They feel that men are not equal before the law, before the courts. They feel that the law’s method and system are against them; that such is present day court procedure, that law is one thing and justice another, even in the hands of judges that are neither in competent nor corrupt ‘And we miss our guess if, with the power of recall in their | hands, the people do not pull down whole courts on the sole ground that they do not render substantial justice regardless of all else. We say, emphasize the fact that the recall is a blow at courts| which deny substantial justice. Recall of a bad judge, occasion- ally, will be like swatting only the flies that get into the sugar bowl. > - “ ° ” How’s This for “‘Vacation”?
