RECALL OF JUDICIARY
 |S AT PACKED BY TAFT
President Laments Tendency to Place Judges on Level With Chairman
 Of Political Convention

President Taft has come out pub licly against the recall of the judi. ciary. In speech before the con- ference on reform of criminal law procedure, the president made his at titude plain.
 Most of the speech was devoted to a comparison, highly unfavorable to this country, of the judicial systems of Great Britain and the United States. He lamented the tendency manifested even in England, but more particularly in this county to put limitations on the power of judges.
 "And now," he said, "not content with reducing the position of judge to one something like that of mod orator of a religious assembly or presiding officer of a political con vention, a judge is to be made still less important and be put still more on trial and assume still more the character of defendant by a provision of law under which, if the rulings and conduct of the court do not suit a small percentage of electors, his district can be com pelled to submit the question of his continuance on the bench during the term he was elected to an election for recall, in which the reason for his recall is to be included in 200 words and his defense thereto must be equally brief.
 "It can hardly be said that this proposed change, if adopted, will give him greater authority or power for usefulness or constitute reform in the enforcement of criminal law in this country. It certainly will not diminish the power or irresponsibil- ity of the counsel for the defendant

he would not have left his post un-
watched. His partner on patrol would
have taken his place. That partner

sped the commissioner, pointing with
satisfaction TO the fact that every fix
ed post had its policeman. Going
north on First-ave., the commissioner
showed how simple the matter of in.
spection OF the city would become un-
der the new system.
"Of course" he explained. almost
any system would be satisfactory II
only patrolmen would patrol. serge
ants would round and inspectors in
spect. Under this system ii will be
very easy to tell II the patrolmen are
on the job. We not only can see a
fixed post every four blocks or the
avenue, but"-he pointed through a
side street-"there is the man on
fixed post over on Second-ave., and"
reaching the next aide street.
there is the man on fixed post on
Third-ave. The inspectors arc going
to have little trouble in inspecting
the whole city.
And, what is more, they are real
ly going TO inspect. The man on
patrol Is going to cover his beat more
conscientiously than ever before, also.
When he realizes that his partner has
got TO stick on the job because the
fixed post man is in plain sight, and
can never tell when a passing auto.
mobile two blocks away can note his
absence, he is going to feel absolute
ly obliged to do, his part OF the
work.
"Of course in the winter il will be
a little uncomfortable, but the fixed
post mans job lasts only two hours
on stretch, the man on the beat
then relieving his partner. The
whole scheme lasts only eight hours.
so that gives one man only two turns
of two hours each on a fixed post.
One beauty of the system is that Il
requires no more men than We have
