MR. TAFT’S SUPREME COURT
Much opposition was expressed
from time to lime over Presi
dent Taft’s selection of .justices
of the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States. The people quite gen
erally got tlie idea that the pres
ident was appointing a lot of re
actionaries to the highest judi- j
rial tribunal and the impression j
prevailed that the court would !
hei something of a stickler for I he
old forms and precedents.
Nothing could be further Iroin
the facts. The present court
has made a good deal of law in a
series of highly important opin
ions. Eugene Wambaugh, of
the Harvard law school, in a re
cent publication, reviews (lie de
velopments in constitutional law
achieved by the court in 1910-11
and shows that its rulings have
with remarkable uniformity up
held popular rights.
Mr. Wambaugh cites as immig
the significant decisions those in
which the police power of the
states is upheld, despite the fa
miliar arguments about confis
cation and taking of property
“without due process of law.”
In the Oklahoma case involving
the bank guarantee act, Mr. Jus
tice Holmes, voicing the opinion
of the court, used this significant
language:
"W:e must lie caulmus anoui j
pressing the broad words of th.e!
Fourteenth Amendment to a dry
Jy logical extreme. Many laws
could be shown easily enough to
transgress a scholastic interpret
ation of one or anolher of the
great guarantees in the ‘Bill of)
Rights.’ They more or less lim- j
it the liberty of the individual, j
or they diminish property to a j
certain extent."
The court has made the Sher
man law. by a series of intelli
gent decisions, a prael ieiable,
workable statute for the preven
tion of baleful monopoly. The
court has also set the pace for a
revision of the rules of procedure
in the Federal courts and has be
come, in fad, a real agency for
the remedy of the abuses against
which the people have long been
complaining. The supreme court,
generally considered a reaction
ary body, has actually been reor
ganized along progressive lines
by President Taft. I

AN ABLE AND FEARLE8S
JUDGE.
Telegraphic dispatches from
Fairbanks indicate that a consid
erable number of the people of
that section are dissatisfied with
the culmination of those trials
known as the Barnette cases. II
appears to us I hat those in Fair
banks pursuing the matter are j
acting in a very childish manner.
Three judges have passed upon
questions of law arising in these
cases and in no essential prop
osition of law did they disagree.
The attorney general himself
says that Judge Lyons’ condu- j
sinus of law were* sound. j
In view of these fads we can- j
not understand the altitude of the I
people and press of Fairbanks in i
continuing to harp upon acquit- '
lals which were the result of i
sound conclusions of law. If our
statutes ar** defective*, we have
e*ongre*ss, ami not the* court, to
blame. During Judge Lyons’ j
four years on Ihe bench he has j
made an enviable name for him- j
self in all those attributes which I
go to make a good juiie We
dare say that no man hits ever j
occupied the bench in Alaska, or !
for that matter any other coun- '
try, who has suceeedeel in more;
thoroughly winning the confl-j
deuce of both the bar ami Ihe j
people, than Judge Thomas It.;
Lyons. And this he hits aeconi- j
plished by untiring study; an in- j
ate sense or justice and an earn- j
cst desire to do right. Among Ihe
i
vast, majority of the people - of
Alaska, the name of Judge Ly
ons will go down as the most
able, fearless and just jurist who
Jias presided over our courts.

most need in their present state

It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic, j
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use >
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right, j
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to i
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality. ,
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home )
