The Employers right.

Friends and opponents of the re-
call are alike apt to write of it as
implying disgrace to the officer re-
called.
The recall is much better than
that. 1t implies disagreement be-

The people now have reserved the
right to discharge an elected en-
ploye at the end of set period. The
recall power is simply the right to
discharge at any period. Whether
