Excerpt from Suffrage and the Court

Existing conditions in the body politic constitute an open book from which all may read. All, as is inevitable, do not draw the same conclusions, but all do conclude that something must be done in order to preserve democratic institutions and insure orderly prog ress for the future.

It is but natural, even in a well ordered society free from grave economic and social questions, that there should develop a careless ness and looseness of conduct, if not lawlessness, as the result of a war in which all the material resources of the country and the nervous energies of its people were fully drawn upon. This of itself is sufficient to prevent the immediate restoration of normal processes upon the return of peace. However, in a well ordered society consisting of homogeneous elements - a peo ple from a common mould with the same traditions and aspirations - the task of returning to normal conditions should be easy of accomplishment. Governmental action conforming to the mature and well considered views of the majority should be all that is essential to the solution of any problems confronting such a people.

Unfortunately for us the solution of our difficulties is not so simple. To the natural after-wartime unrest, there are added to complicate the situation for us economic and social questions of the gravest importance.
