The Big Issue For a Neuu State

Conservatives, reactonares, towards all the
try and coegebred theorists in particular horror
stcken what the Arizona constitution builders pro-
pose to do in respect Of the judiciary
The majority in the Phoenix convention who ought to
know best what would be protection against ootng of
the new state by Big Interests propose to make petition
of 25 per cent of the voters sufficient vote
recall of judges. This is pronounced to be ''supidy
vicious, putting the law at the mercy of the mob "a
blow at judicial dignity" concession to cranks, etc.
But hope to just exactly that proposition offered
of the constitutional provisions of the state
We hope to state in which judicial dignity is
not cloak for judicial injustice.
There is not and never will be state in which rs per
cent of the voters should not have prompt hearing not
before the courts but before the whole state One of the
commonest and most costly and most contemplate ways
to deny justice and final hearing to the minority has
been to compel it to carry it's through the courts
Judges accountable to the people rather than to degen7
crate precedent dignty and political party necessities
what Arizona and many other states need above all
else for judges have to making the laws that control
all the property rights and all the freedom of the people,
Let those Arizona patriots courageously stand to their
guns Let them pass the question of popular power Tor

This newspaper believes in the great majority.
Also this newspaper believes that the country should
be run for the benefit of the majority.
Legislation should be for the majority-whch would
not be class legislation.
The majority is poor-hence we strive for the DOOR,
This is not to say that the poor shall take from the rich
(ahough the rich have certainly taken from the poor)
neither is it to that laws should be passed ONLY for
the poor But is to say that the makers of laws and
the enforcers of laws should have the majority in
plain sight.

The hobbies, pendants and fol.

wonder at.
For instance, DeWolf Hopper
simply dotes on teeny-weeny lead
ing ladies'.
When good fortune threw Miss
Louise Dresser in his way last sum.
mer, Mr.. Hopper was glad; but he
missed the Lilliput aid that he had
become accustomed to. That's
why he has dainty Dorothy Webb
in the company that is playin "A
Matinee Idol"
Mr.. Hopper cheerfully admitted
his fondness for the little ladies of
the stage when l detected him
counting up the advance sale in
the box office of the theater.
Don't be shocked, please, Mr..
Hopper simply confesses to pro-
fessional fondness for the little
ones. And, thank the gods, he
doesn't refer to them as "brOilers"
or SQUADS" or anything of that
sort.
Far be it from Will to daily with
that sort Of persiflage.
Will? Oh, yes-that's what his
friends call him. The DeWolf part
Of Il Is just for the program and
the bill boards.

Hopper.
Chaffed! Rawther a fawncy bit
of English-that.
Della Fox was the first one. She
was with me three years. A very
clever girl; awfully good-hearted
and good friend"
Passing on to the next one on
the list, a panied expression over

Sort of a just-sat-on-a-sharp pin
expression.
But it passed quickly.
"The next one was Miss Edna

pany for five years"
(Silence note: Miss Wallace
was Mrs. Hopper once. Please don't

Then came Alice Judson. She
was one of the smallest in the lot,
and very nice girl, indeed"
Then l found a new leading girl

But hse got married. Played over
