than by Its business men or Its
lawyors. The newspapers of Frante
to which Polncare throughout bis
ca ter both as a lawyer and in.j-rem-ier
has contributed most of his essays
are closely allied both to literature
and to politics. The ulga quauty o.
Polncare's literary work has had as
much to do wRh his rise as has bis
professional success. In fact.
France as a nation itr more Impressed
by literature or artisltc success than
by any other kind. Business, gets a
man nowhere except among the shop
keepers and other tradespeople.
It Is to this future that Hanotaux,
like Polncare, a former cabinet
officer, and like him, too, a llterateur
and a member, of the Academic Fran
terested In railroads, cotton mills,
light and power plants, and develop
meats along that line, and to some
extent In land.

In Mexico, it Is no wonder that such

coming. In an Interesting essay on
American printed In a recent number
of the North American Review, he
frankly wondered tf our rich men

universities.

the government to Intervene. ' Wo
matter what the financial interests
desire, the ordinary American does
no want to enter Into the squabbleh.
The people surely will applaud the
j government for doing all It caa toior precedent made by the courts is
of have the Mexicans settle their own found to be wrong, obstructive'.' or
ferln something new.- They repre
sent the "feeling that remedial and
corrective measure were necessary to
give the average man square deal
in the courts. Perhaps the propos
als are bud; certainly' there are many
objection to them, but at leant they
should be a warning to judges and
attorneys that unless they take the
lead In corrective measure there will
be revolution with others at the
head- of U.
One of the strongest appeals that
has been made for court reform from
within was delivered recently by
JudgS W. O. Howard of the appellate
division of the supreme court of New
York. After declaring that the re
call of Judges and Judicial decisions
promises no cure. Judge Howard said:
"All men ar$ supposed to be equal
before our laws but that seems not
to be so. The road to Just'ce should
be straight, short and simple. There
should be no tollgales on the way,
no brigands, no false guide boards.
The suitors traveling in automobiles
should have no precedence over the
ones on foot. It is not well to scoff
at the muttering of the people; there
Is much reason for It,"
Warning his hearers that the move
ment should bciln from within In
stead of from without, Judge Howard
continued:
"The people are becoming Impa
tient with discrepancies In Justice
and they are demanding each day In
a louder voice that there be reform.
Our laws are becoming Inadequate;
they do not satisfy the popular con
ceptions of equal Justice. The peo
ple clamor against the law; Its de
lays, Its discriminations Its lnconr
sistenctes and they clamor" with
much reason. ,1
"Every. Jutige below the Judges of

Impels him tofollow not his Judg
ment and his conscience but a pre
cedent established, perhaps for 20
centuries. There should be a con-1
cert of Judges fo obviate this folly.
That which defeats Justice, be It eith

to the public good. Judges should
not be sensitive about reversing
themselves, and when a decision, rule
