El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-08-28

From Tucson. Ariz., Citizen.
The Citizen yields to no Arizonan in
the earnestness of its desire for inlme-
date statehood, but, so far from blam-
ing president Taft for his disapproval
of the Flood resolution, this paper re-
joices in the fact that the nation to-
day possesses a chief executive who
has the courage of his convictions.
From Little Rock, Ark, Gazette.
We take pleasure in announcing that
the Gazette expects to secure for early
publication, an interesting article of
hte recall Of the judiciary from the pen
of William Howard Taft We under
stand Mr.. Taft will devote special at
tention to the new constitution Of
Arizona.
From Birmingham, Ala, Age Herald.
A veto of the statehood bill was not
altogether altruistic. Arizona will GER
tainiy go Democratic; so probably will
New Mexico. All Republicans will be
glad, therefore. to see their admission
postponed until after 1912
From Mobile, Ala, Register.
The president has vetoed the state
hood bill. The president is seen in
the attitude of trying to protect peo-
pie who do not want his protection
and who. according to their own opin-
ions. do not need it.
From Sacramento. Cal, Bee
Taft goes far and away beyond any
legitimate power when he claims the
right for himself to veto statehood to
any pleading sister IN this union, solely
H.. o. 1t,
in her dress.
From Columbia. s. c., State
In vetoing the admission of Arizona
and New Mexico because the, proposed
constitution Of Arizona includes pro-
vision for the recall of judges, presi-
dent Taft sets himself as a barrier to
political progress. BY this we do not
pretend to say that the recall is wise
or expedient. but it is, at least, ques-
ton open to debate among thinking
people.
From New Britain, Conn, Herald.
Taft's argument is so clear and con-
vincing that the promoters of that
kind of law have received q severe jolt
and those seeking light on such a Ques-
ton can find it in a careful perusal
Of the message of the president.
From Chicago Examiner.
The president asks Arizona to come
into the union with handouts on-or
not come in at all.
From Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Will the veto prove mightier than
the recall? It should-and probably
will.
From Chicago Record-Herald.
President Taft has been a judge and
he doubtless knows what he is talk
ing about when he says 1t will be i'm
possible for judges to be Independent
and afraid of the politicians at the
same time.
From Newark, n. J., News.
The president by his action has de-
MED to citizens of one state something
which citizens of another state have
already adopted as constitutional
provision and the citizens of other
states may so adopt at will The veto
imposed the opinion of the federal ex-
ecutive upon people OF Arizona against
their declared WILL
From New York Times
One of the best American state pa
pers that we can recall was sent to
the house of. representatives by presi-
dent Taft. giving his reasons for dis
approving the admission of Arizona
and New Mexico as states.
From Baltimore, Nd, News
We believe the majority opinion of
this country stands with congress
rather than with the president in re-
gard to admission of Arizona to state
hood. II popular passion sweeps over
the judiciary in Arizona it will be
Arizonans who will suffer The rest
OF us may profit from the experience.
From New Haven, Conn, Register.
The news from Washington is that
Mr.. Taft will be consistent regarding
the judicial recall, which means that
he will veto statehood as 1t has come
from the senate. 1t is not news that
