To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It seems that there must have been private and personal interests at stake to account for the rage which was excited by these decisions, which touched this bank, and by the intensity of friendship for it, which was manifested by a leading political clique." 39 Digitized by Google The Cries: "You Distrust the People," "If the People Are Competent to Elect Judges They Are Competent to Recall Them." If such things are likely to happen in communities with traditions of liberty and constitutional ri...ghts and restraints, what may we expect in times of crises or agitation, in communities where large masses of the population are new to the country and its institutions, and have no such heritage? I do not mention these things in disparagement of democratic government as compared with any other kind of government. But the great shibboleth of the advocates of the recall of the judges, and about their only argument against it are these : "You distrust the people,'' and "If the peo- ple are competent to elect judges, they are competent to recall them." In most cases this is merely "lip ser- vice," and insincere flattery of the people.
