A wlfo and four sons and two daughters survlvo him. and sometimes nHsert, that tbo Anicr-can Anicr-can peoplo nro not lilted for popular government, and that It Is neccesaiy to keep tho Judiciary 'Jni'opendent of tho majority or of all the people; that there must bo no appeal to tho peoplo from tho dcc'slcn tf a court In nny caso; and that therefore the Judges nro to bo established ns sov-erolru sov-erolru rulers over tho people, "I tnko absolute l3suo with all those who hold such a position.

"Now tho powor to Interpret Is the power to establish; and if the people nre not to bn allowed finally to Inter-plot Inter-plot tho fundamental law, ours ls not n popular government. "A tpyleal caso was tho decision rendered but n few months ago by tho court of appeals of my own stato. tho state of New York, declaring un-mstltut!on:ii un-mstltut!on:ii tho workmen's compensation compen-sation act. Tho Judges admitted that other civilized nations had abolished no3e wroni,s ,.j,d practices.

"If thero must bo decision by a closo majority, then lot tlio peoplo step In nnd lot It bo tholr majority that decides." |
