"ALIFORNIA is to vote this fall upon constitutional
v amcnumenla providing for tho initiative, roforon
duni and recall. Governor Johnson says regarding the
election:
"The overshadowing issue is not railroad regulation,
nor woman suffrage, nor the initiative and referendum. 0.
OEOnOK PUTNAM, Kdltor and Manager js fhe right of th(J yfo q l fl. judgCS. This is tllO
sujucuiu ifsi uj. inu hoy uiMiiucraiv. xnu luiiswuuru may
j)ass laws and the people may even amend their constitu
tion, but the last Word lies with the courts whore laws are
construed and constitutions interpreted. If these courts
lie beyond the reach of the people, then the people do .not
rule."
This calls to mind the remarks of Thomas Jefferson,
who a century ago said:
"It has long been my opinion that the germ
of dissolution of our federal government is in the Constitu
tion of our federal judiciary, an irresponsible 'bod v (for
1 . ...A 1 1 1M i
iiiipcaeniiicnt is scarcely a scarecrow; wonting iikc gravity
by day and night, gaining a little today and a littletomor
row, and advancing its noiseless steps like a thief over
the field of jurisdiction. N
You seem to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters
of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine
indeed, and one that would place us under the despotism
of an oligarchy."
The right of the courts to pass upon the laws of tho
nation was read into the Constitution by Chief Justice
John Marshall, who as a Virginia delegate to the constitu
tional convention, had declared that it was not m tho Con
stitution and should not be there. Several times the pro
posal to give the judiciary this right was voted down m
the constitutional convention.
The courts of the nation have gradually assumed pow
ers not at all contemplated by the framers of the Consti
tution, even going so far as to read into the law words that
change its meaning and nullify its intent, as in the Stand
ard Oil decision, hence it is time that they arc at leasi
held accountable to public opinion.
J3ut it is a question whether the courts have overstep
ped their contemplated bounds any more than President
Taft has in taking it upon himself to dictate to the people
of Arizona what kind of a constitution they shall have.
Nowhere in the Constitution is the president given the
right to dictate to the people of a proposed state their laws.

Evidently the president forgets that he is no longer tin
little father of the Filipinos with the lowers of an oriental
despot. Bis act is certainly far more destructive of free
government than any provision of the Arizona constitution
could possibly be.
Legislatures may pass laws, courts may amend them,
but if the president dictates to the people of a state what
these laws shall be, then the people do not rule. Instead
we have a ruler greater than the people, their represeuta
tives or their courts.

THE PORTLAiST) JOURNAL congratulates the people
of Salem as follows in an editorial on "Salem's San
ity:" "Oregon citizenship, in the occurrence at Salem, has
demonstrated, its sanity and self control. Recently, on the
same day, Oklahoma lynched a colored man and Pennsyl
vania burned another at the stake. Though there was the
extreme limit of provocation here, Oregon was self-controlled,
sane, sober and law abiding. It was a real rule of
reason."
This is indeed refreshing.
Who ever heard of Salem's getting excited about any
thing except the prospect of some other section of Oregon
receiving some state money1?
There nlay be some red blood in Salem, but not enough
to make a showing against a negro degenerate who as
saults sick and helpless women. Several of these incidents
in one day might excite some communities, but not Salem.
A perpetual flow of typhoid germs in city water might
excite some cities but not "sane and sober" Salem, with
its "rule of reason." Only a threatened interruption of
its monopoly of state funds makes the Saldm hog look up
from his trough.
General apathy, which rules so many Oregon communi
ties, has his capital at Salem, and the listlessness which
passeth understanding abideth like a Willamette valley
fog. Anaemia, not self-control, saved the negro.
