By J. 8. Cutllnan.
Continuing the discussion of the Ad-
ministration of Justice, let us Inquire
•'What Is Justice?" One of the great,
est thinkers of antlqult? Is credited
with saying that Justice was the treat-
ment of persons according to their
desert*. James Marllspn said that
Justice was the end of government:
Alexander Ham! on said that injus-
tice was a capital Imperfection tn
government and Benjamin Franklin
said -hnt Injustice was plunder. Presi-
dent Wilson,'in discussing Justice re-
cently. said: "I do know that the
rutted States in Its Judicial pro-
cedure is many decades behind
every other civilised government
In thi world; and I say ’hat
it Is an Immediate and Impera-
tive call upon ttk to rectify that, bf-
rause *ut speediness of Justice, the
Inespenslvcness of Justice, the ready
access of Justice Is the greater part
of Justice itself.". The President's
conclusions are -especially significant,
as our government was formed for
the avowed purpose* of establishing
Justice, yet today many a citizen will
voluntarily aocept Injustice as more
speedy. Inexpensive and ready of ac-
cess than Justice.
Honest Men Fear the Law.
If, in the course of human events,
we have reached a point In govern
men! where speedy Injustice 4s more
desirable than delayed Justice, where
the penalty of guilt is cheaper than
the reward of Innocence, where the
-certainty of wrong is preferable to
the uncertainty of right, and where
good citizens tremble in the Temple
of Justice like children on a stormy
night, rt’ieii wo buvn traveled ft long
way from the tradition of our fore-
fathers. Whose government Is this,
that honest men need fear It? If wo
have reached a point in government
where any gopd citizen must cringe
eon, it 1» not only the right, but tho
duty of the citizens to abolish govern
ihcnt.
Tho men who signed the Declara-
tion of Independence and the Constitu-
tion of the United fnatc* *atd they
were forming ft government by the
people anil for the people. But wo
seem to hove degenerated Into a gov-
eminent by the lawyers and for the
lawyer*. This country Is suffering
from ''legalism" far more than Germany
hgs ever, suffered from "militarism,
end the more legalized we become (bn
more inefficient wo arc.
Wo need not go to war to throw off
the yoke of ‘'legalism,” that Is tyran-
nizing the liberties and threatening,
tho freedom of the nation. We, m ed
