Abstract
We live in an age when courts are attacked, judges condemned for obeying the constitution, and representative government is ridiculed and sought to be destroyed. The wish of socialists has become the political ethics of near-socialists and many other citizens. It has become popular to rail against the authority 'of courts; to demand that courts shall no longer be conservators of constitutional guarantees; that judges shall serve under the fear of recall; and representative government shall give way to an absolute democracy. Has political wisdom waited for the year 1912, only to offer us socialism and the worn out and self destructive democracy of ancient Athens?
