the nation that Its most honored public

puhite service by them Implies an ex

It Is earnestly to be tl paired that no me

away with the long delays which now

and which operate with peculiar sever

is aesirea to punisn. These long delays
In the final decisions of cases make in
the aggregate a crying evil, and a rem

Intolerable delay is due to Improper
regard paid to tech nica Utiles which are
a more hindrance to Justice. In some
noted cases this over-regard for techni
calities has resulted in a striking denial
of justice, and flagrant wrong to the
body politic.
At the last election certain leaders
organized labor made a violent and
sweeping attack upon the entire judi

In such terms as to Include the most
upright, honest and broad-minded
Judges, no less those of narrower mind
and more restricted outlook. It was
the kind of attack admirably fitted tc
prevent any successful attempt at re

It gave the champions of the unjust

The violence of the crusade for' this
legislation, ana Its complete failure, 11
lustrate two truths which It Is essential
pur people should learn. In the first
0!ce, they ought to teach the working
man, the laborer, the wage worker, that
fcy demindlnff what Is Improper and
impossible u9 plays Into the haaUa of
his foes. Such a crude and vicious at
tack upon the courts, even If it were
temporarily successful, would Inevita
bly In the end cause a violent reaction
and would band the great mass of citi
zens together, forcing them to stand
by all the judges, competent dhd Incom
petent alike, rather than see the wheels
of Justice atnnped.,. A movement of this
can Ultimately result in nothing
but damage to those In whose behalf It
Is nominally undertaken. This is. a
most healthy truth, which It is p!hg for
our people to learn. Any movement bas
ed upon that class hatred which at
times assumes the name of "class con
sciousness," is certain to ultimately
fail, and If It temporarily succeeds, to
ao iarr6achintf damage. "Class con
science," which U merely another name
for the odious vice of class selfishness,
is equally noxious whether It is In an
employers' association or in a working
man's association. The movement In
question Was one In which the appeal
was made to all workingmen to vote
primarily, not as American citizens, bui
as individuals of a certain class of so
ciety, Suoh an appeal In the first place
revolts the more high-minded and far
sighted among the persons to whom It
is addresssd, and In Uie second ylact
tonUs to arouso a atronsr antagonism
among all other classes of citizens, and
It therefore tends to unite them against
H1.? YrypraranintloajBr whose behalf
It Is Issued. The fesult Is therefore, Un
fortutiate from every standDOlnt.' This

A tafat their votes in response to an ap

their Bound patriotism and American
Ism. The whole country has cause to
feel pride In this attitude of sturdy In
dependence ..this uncompromising In
sistence, upon acting simply as good
oitizens.'-as good Americans, without
regards to fancied-rand improper r-class-interests.-(
Such-an attitude is an oii-Ject-'lessott'
tn good citizenship to the
entire nation: Tv'tr. v
Butthe'fextrems reactionaries, the
persons wno nnna tnemseivcs to the
wrongs now and. then committed upon
the laboring men by the courts, should
also think seriously as to what such a
movement as this portends. The judges
who have shown themselves able and
willing effectively to check the dishon
est activity of tlie'very rich man who
works Iniquity by the mismanagement
of corporations, who have shown them
selves alert to do justice to the wage
worker, and sympathetic with the needs
of the mass of our people, so that the
dweller In the tenement houses, the
man who practices a dangerous trade,
the man crushed by excessive hours of
labor, feel that their needs are under
stood by the courts these judges nre
the real, bulwark of the courts; these
judges, the judges of the stamp of the
President-elect, who have been fearless
in opposing labor when It has gone
wrong, but fearless also In holding to
strict account corporations that work
Iniquity, and far-sighted in sowing that
the worklngman get shls rights, are
the men of all others to whom we owe
It that the appeal for such violent .md
mistaken legislation bus fallen on deaf
ears, that the agitation for its passage
proved to be without substantial basis.
The courts are jeoparded primarily by
the action of these federal and state
judges who allow Inability or unwil
lingness to put a stop to the wrongdo
ing of very rich men under modern in
dustrial conditions, and inability or un
willingness to give relief to men of
small means of wage workers who are
crushed down by these modern indus
trial conditions, who, in other words,
fall to understand and apply the need
ed remedies for the new wrongs pro-'
duced by the new and highly complex
social and industrial civilization which
has grown up in the last half century.
The courts 'noia a diho nr n.-fiiTIir
and deserved sanctity under our form of
rorm or Kovt'rnment. Rospect for the
low Is esnentlal to the permanence of
our Institutions; and respect for the
law Is largely conditioned upon respect
for the courts. It Is an offense against
the republic to say anything wlilch can
weaken this respect, save for the grav
est reason and In the most carefully
guarded manner. Our Judges should be
held in peculiar honor, and the duty of
respectful and truthful comment nnrf
criticism, which should be binding when
..UI anyDoay, snouia De espec
ially binding when we apeak of them.
On. an avernge they atand above any
other Servants of tho community, and
the greatest Judges have reached the
high level held by those few greatest
patriots whom the wholo countrv de
lights to honor. But we must fnce the
fact that there are wise and unwise
Judges. Just as there are wise und un
wise executives and legislators. When
a president or a governor behaves Im
properly or unwisely, the remedy la
easy, for his term Is short, and the
same Is (rue with the legislator, al
though not In the same degree, for he Is
cue of many who belong to some given
legislative body, and it la therefore less
easy to fix his personal responslbllity

If there Is any one duty which more
than another we owe It to our children
to perform at once. It Is to save the for
estao fthis country, for they constitute
the first and most Important element
in me conservation of the natural re
sources of the country. There are of
course two kinds of natural resources
une Is the kind which can only be used
and this is true of mines, natural oil
l.nH iras wella. and the like. The other.
and of course ultimately far more im-
nortant. Includes the resources which
can be Improved In the process of wise
use, tne ao'i, ine rivers, a nor uiu loresis
come under this head. Any really civ
ilized nation will so use all three of
thnae irreaL national assets that the na
tlon will have their benefit in the fu
ture. Just as a farmer, after all his
life making his living from the farm,
will, If he Is an expert farmer, leave ft
as an assei ot increased vaiue to ma
son, so we should leave our national do
main to our children. Increased In value
and not worn out. There are small sec
tions of our country, In the East and
Middle West, In the Adlrondacks, the
White Mountains and the Appalachians,
and in the Rocky Mountains, where we
can already see for ourselves the dam
age in the shape of permanent injury
to the soil and the river systems which
comes frpm reckiess deforestation. It
matters not whether this deforestation
Is due to the actual reckless cutting of

Short-sighted persons, or persons
blinded to the future by desire to nyake
money In every way out of the preterit,
sometimes apeak as if no great damage
would be done by the reckless destro.Cr
tlon of our forests. It Is difficult to
have patience with the argument of
these persons. Thanks to our own reck
lessness In the use of our splendid for
ests we have already crossed the versa ,
of a timber famine In this country, and
no m,.afnitv. that we can now take
can, at least for many years, undo the

est degree reprehensible to let any con
sideration of temporary convenience
or temporary cost interfere with such
action, especially as regards the nation
al forests which the nation can now, at
this very moment, control.
All serious students of the question
are aware of the great damage that
has been done in the Mediterranean
countries of Europe, Asia and Africa
by deforestation. The similar damage
that has been done In Eastern Asia is
less well known. A recent Investiga
tion Into conditions In North China by
Frank N. Meyer, of the bureau of plant
Industry o fthe United States depart
ment of agriculture, has incidentally
furnished In very striking fashion proof
of the ruin that comes from reckless
deforestation of mountains, and of the
further fact that the damage once done
may prove practically Irreparable. So

International Fisheries
. I call the aitentiun of congress tn
the Importance of the problcf of ti,
fisheries In the Interstate waters. o'
the Great Lakes we are now, under th.
very wise treaty of April nth of ti
year, endeavoring to come to an Inter
national agreement for the preserva
tion and satisfactory use of the fisher
ies of these waters whlcli can not oth.
erwise be achieved. Lake Erie, (or ex
ample, has the richest fresh water fish
eries In the world; but It Is now con
trolled by the statutes or two nations
four states and one province, and in
this province by different ordinances In
different counties. All these political

protection of the fisheries. At the mo

practically closed, while there is no

courts wilt decide as to the very stat

action result. Meanwhile very few sal

probably four years hence the fisher

comes from a struggle between the as

South America. Asia, the Philippines

creation of such ma:- lines should be
the corollary of the voyage of the but

of the Panama canal. Kvcn under fa
vorable conditions several years tmiai
elapse before such lines can be put in
operation. Accordingly I urge that the
congrcas act promptly where foresight
already ahows action sooner or laur
