Meade of Washing- ton, in his inaugural speech, used the following words, preg- nant with meaning because of threat carried: ‘Any attempt upon the part of an instructor * * * to Influence the boys and girls of thie state to believe that our nystem of government is based upon fallacious principles * will receive immed! tion from the exeou- tive artment, and the structor engaged in the exploi- tation of such unmAmerican ideas WILL RECEIVE IMME- DIATE DISMISGAL.” ‘There was but one man in the entire state of Washington against whom those words could have been directed, and the newspapers did not hesitate in saying that it was Professor J. Allen Smith, of the University of Washington, Profes sor Smith was a thorn in the side of all reactionaries in the state. Here was a man who was teaching progressive ideas. He even went so far ag to way that the constitu tion of the United States had some faults. “Rank hint.” That's how he was regarded at that thme by those who controlled the machinery of government. But {n spite of the governor's threat Prof. Smith was not “fired.” Stu dents at the University of Wash ington, most of whom earn their own way through college, are no ‘standstillers.” They took up the governor's challenge and gave no tice that they would “walk out” of the university if Prof. @mith were disminsed The Pacific Wave, the paper, came out with a poem on its editorial page, entitled “A Query,” which if not elegant, had the merit of belug direct and sig nificant. It made a pointed in-| quiry if people wold be permitted to progress “or must they be like Chinese, contented with wreaths} thetr fathers have won?” And it ended up with } “An no, there are only a few, So narrow they cling to such theories thin, And JOY! they are not in our ou" In 1907 Professor Smith publish } his now famous book, “The Spirit of the American Govern- ment,” which has recently been quoted frequently in congress and in Giscussions of the recall of} judges. Again the powerful ma-| echinery of federal and state gmv-| ernment sought to have the “hero- | tle” removed. | r im his book, Prof. Smith made the startling declaration that the judiciary had usurped legisia- tive and executive functions. Start heresy; an anar- student ling? At that time it was unheard | of. And here was « man who bold ly anid thet the courts were exer-| ciuing the “veto” power on the peo ple's legisiation, He pointed out) that the courts were never given express power to declare acts of congress or the legislature uncon stitutional. Never was there a text book in any school or college in country where the defects of government were treated as in Prof. Smith's book And here fs what Judge C. HL Hanford, against whom people of | Seattle have recently started {m-/| peachment petitions, said at a Lim cola Day banquet given the faculty of the University of Washington in| 1908: | “No student of the Univer. sity should be permitted to in- dulge the conceit that he can make a better constitution than that given to us by Washington, Madison, Franklin and Hamil- ton, and as it has been ex- pounded by the great jurists composing the supreme court of the United States. Theorists whe criticise the constitution ignore the conditions which It was made to fit and by ignor ing them they ignore God Ak mighty, who created the condi- tions.” Prof. Smith was forced to smile when he recalled Judge Hanford's words. “And he made the speech on Lin- coln’s birthday, apparently forget-| ting that Lineotn, too, had some faults to find with the courte of| bie day,” he said. It’s nearly 12 years since Prof. Smith wrote the chapter on the ju- dictary in his book. It has taken a long time to awaken the people to the undemocratic powers possessed | by the courts, but Prof. Smith sees the dawn of a greater and freer At Fountains & Elsewhere | Ask for } “HORLICK’S” Original and Genuine MALTED MILK The Food-arink for All Ages.
