THE UBIQUITOUS RECALL.

The authorities agree that the sep
aration OF the executive, Legislative
and judicial branches OF government
is essential to the liberty of the citi-
zen and the safety OF the state.
Montesquc says: There Is no lib
erty II the power Of judging be not
separated from the legislative and cx-
ccufive powers. II II were joined 70
The Legislative power. authority over
the life and liberty OF citizens would
he arbitrary, for the Judge would be
the legislator. II Il were joined TO the
executive authority. the judge would
have the power of q %tyrant.''
1.-THE recall, therefore. is a long step
toward aboiishing the principle OF
free government, that we must be
governed by laws. for II a man accepts
IN official position and may be re-
moved for obeying the law, and a man
who diSobeys the law upheld By the
people In an office under the recall.
then such men az least, are not gov
.erned by law.
In view OF what has been said, II
seems that the only purpose the re-
call can have IL 20 remove an officer
who IN spite of public clamor is doing
his duty
The El Paso Times says; ut Will
be seen that the recall IN a very dan
gerous power, even when II can only
be invoked IN Ease of conviction of
m~alfeasance. but II made applicable
to the Judiciary as Is sought TO be
done by the Arizona constitution, It
becomes at once the destroyer of the
rights OF citizens and of property. As
Mr.. Trippett says: TO write in the
constitution OF the state that the re-
eall should apply TO the judiciary Of
THE state, would be TO urn the gov
eminent over To mob rule. II cannot
seem possible that anybody who stops
to think, could Justify the application
