THE RECALL.

Chicago's new mayor was elected for
a four-years' term under a new. law,
the first four-yearz term in its history
Long terms are all right where honest
and capable men have been elected,
but all wrong in the event of the cleo
ton of the other stripe.-Wtchita Ea-
gle.
To meet just such a condition, the re-
call has been invented. Long terms
for officials with the power. of the re-
call in the hands of the people is the
correct idea, and we are gradually
working around to 1t. The terms of
public officials are being heightened,
and the recall is being adopted in
municipal governments.
The recall simply allows certain
per cent of the voters-40 per cent, for
instance, in cities-to petition the pow
ers that be to suspend temporarily any
official who displeases them and to call
a special election to fill the vacancy.
The suspended official is allowed to be
a candidate and If majority of the
people uphold him he continues in Of
fee. If some other man defeats him,
he is out permanently.

A CASE OF MERIT.

If any young anan has conceived the
idea that the door TO opportunity is
closed in this day and age of trusts
and combines; if he believes. that
pull counts instead Of merit and
ability and hard work, the news col
umns of yesterdays State Journal an
nouncing the offer of one of the high
legal positions OF the country to N.
H. Loomis ought to disabuse his mind.
Mr.. Loomis has risen by his own ef-
forts, through industry and mastery
of his work. He started in at the bot
tom not so many years ago and he
gained the top, seemingly-the head of
the legal department in this state for
one of the great railroads of the ccun-
try: yet now a promotion voluntarily
comes to him that is far in advance
of the position he has been occupying.
In his new work-if he accepts. 1.-THE
will have charge of the cases of the
entire Hartman system that come be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion, position of tremendous import
ance under the rev Hepburn act.
Why was N. H. LOOMS selected for
this work instead of one of the older
lawyers of the Hartman system? For
there certainly must be older lawyers
than Mr.. Loomis-lawyers with influ-
entail connections, and some who stand
closer to the throne Here's a guess
why: N. H. LooI11is always masters his
cases. AS Union Pacific lawyer he
has made a study Of the transporta-
ton business from every angle. He has
mastered details. He has not been
content with studying only the purely
legal phases of questions that other
men have brought to him, but he has
studied the business Of the Union Pa
cific from every point of view. This,
combined with his ability, is probably
why he has been offered the position
of traffic counsel for the entire Harri-
man system He has made himself
better equipped for it than any other
lawyer in the employ of the Hartman
roads.
Aside from that. Mr.. LOOMS is a
man who commands the highest re-
spect and confidence of those who
know him In this day many people
look upon the term. railroad attor-
ney," as a badge of suspicion. Mr.
Loomis is not only railroad attor-
ney," but he is the attorney fog a road
whose head is lew Aore censured than
any other railroad magnate in the
country. Yet none of this criticism
attaches to N. H. Loomis. On the con-
trary, he has the highest respect of
Kansas people generally; and there will
be genuine regret, not only among the
friends of the railroads, but among the
most strenuous railroad Ifaters as we'll.
if he decides to leave the state.

oREGoN's EXPERIMENT.

Oregon has adopted and put into
practice the initiative and referendum.
Populist orators used to roll those
phrases off their tongues a few years
ago. but few people then comprehend
ed what they meant. Since then the
public has been studying them. Ore
gon has enacted them into law, North
Dakota may do the same, and Okla
homa has made them a part of its
constitution.
The story of Oregon's direct 1egis-
lation movement is told in the May
issue of the Pacific Monthly, a maya
zine published at Portland.
oregon, according to this article,
complacently confronts the pessimists
of the republic with startling state
ments somewhat as follows:

resent us, we have power to force
them to do so.

corruption
Direct egislation-which is another
name for the Initiative and referendum
lis undoubtedly splendid thing
theoretically, but many people have
wondered how far it would work
benehcially in actual practice. 1t is
practiced to a certain extent now.

law. it is the principle of the Initiative.
Whenever a law is passed which re-
quires the approval of the people at
the polls before it becomes effective

will now demonstrate just how far the
principle can be carried in actual
