The Just feeling [»ervadiug the
counuunity U th at a bench of
judges is no more com petent
th an th e legislature to decide as
to the wisdom o r necessity o f
laws for th e health, safety and
progress and th e m aterial and
moral w elfare of the com m unity.
T hat Is a m atter of enlightened
opinion which th e courts have
uo right to arro g ate unto them
selves- T he courts of E ngland
do not do it. nor do th e courts of
any oth er country except ours.
And ours base th e right to do so
on fundam ental or constitutional
provisions for th e safety o f lib
erty nnd property, which a re not
peculiar to this country a t all.
but are to be found in all sy s
tem s of governm ent and Juris
prudence No such m eaning w as
ever given to th ese safeguards
of property nnd liberty until by
the judges in th is country. It
is judge m ade law. pure and
simple. It were well if th e con
stitution of the United S tates
w ere am ended by the addition
of a provision requiring It to be
reconsidered by a constitutional
convention every tw enty years,
the sam e ns in tin s state, and in
muny if not most of our states.
A. constitution must grow nnd
change, like everything else, b at
the more gradual th e better. As
M acaulay says o f th e British
constitution.
“A lthough
the
changes have been great, there
never w as an in stan t of tim e in
which the m ajo r part of It w as
not old." T h a t is th e way to
am end constitutions and In n s— ■
gradually aud prudently
But
the class o f decisions w hich I

(Glendale News)
HE GOLD HILL NEWS has fearlessly told the truth
about corrupt conditions in that city and county,
as a reward a lunch of Gold Hill’s business men have
boycotted the paper. They claim that the newspaper
has done great harm to the city by exposing such a dirty
mess, but they do not deny that dirt was there. All they
aim to do, apparently, is to either muzzle their press
and thus keep their eoi i uptness hidden from the eyes
of the people while it thrives and flourish s, or to starve
out their local paper.
These “pin-heads” should be
given a dose of their ou 11 medicine by,the people of Gold
Hill and vicinity, for they stand for enmity of the best
institution a community can have—its newspaper.
Most people in free America believe in a free press.
Russia is the land the Gold Hill boycotters should seek.
Oregon doesn’t need them. We need more editors who
will tell the truth, the whole truth, not occasionally, but
all the time. Whitewash is useful in its place, but it
shouldn’t be used to cover up filth to fool the people.
