Ga, Georgia Law Re “gardfl Lien*.' Mechanics Condemns Rootism. Hon. Champ Clark concluded hi* ad dress to the members of the Georgia Bar Association at Tybee yesterday at follows: "I rejoice with exceeding great Joy that no Southern lawyer and no coun try lawyer made the sinister suggestion, the most sinister ever made by any prominent American, that If legislation does not furnish the Federal govern ment all the power wanted, sooner or later conatructlons of the constitution will be found to vest the power where It will be exercised. . "Mr. Ellhu Root, secretary of war under on* president and secretary of state under another, achieved the bad eminence' of auggestlng that the courts be tampered with In order to straln and etretch the power* of the Federal government to suit the Idea* of him self and other ultra-IIamlltonlnns. Mr. Root Is to be corrupted at the foun tain, a suggestion which should be re pugnant to every lover of the repub Ic, whatever may be his political affilia tions. His Idea, If put Into practice, would convert the courts Into engine* of opposition more hateful than abso- lute authority exercl»ed openly by a Caesar or a Napoleon. ".Much of the execration In which the memory of Aaron Burr la held I* due to the Immorality expressed In ht* fa miliar motto: 'Whatever 1* toldly as- sort and plausibly maintained l» law. Good men do not believe that and they do not take kindly to the brilliant man n part of whose creed It was. Good men will not Indorse Mr. Secretary Root's grossly Immoral and unpatriotic proposition to acqulrs unconstitutional and Illegal powers for ths Federal gov ernment by unwarranted and dishonest constructions by the courts. It Is a Pleasure to note that before he made that astounding suggestion his name was frequently coupled with the presi dential nomination, but that since he made It he Is utterly and moat properly inored In that connection.
