Recall Proved A Failure.


John F. Monk, in the St. Louis Dispatch
That the recall is principle older than
the Federal Constitution itself. instead OF
being new-fangled issue or policy evolved
| by modern prOgressives, has just been dis
| covered in Washington. II Is the general
| impression that the recall is the very latest
thing in utraradical pOliticsa sort of
harem skirt in political fashions. as it were.
| As a matter of fact, the recall was given
a ten-year test in the United States more
than century and quarter ago. and on
the face of the record Of what happened
to il there is reason to believe that il was
not found especially efiicacious or desirable.
Former Representative James A. Taw-
ney, of Minnesota. who returned to Wash
ington recently to look after matters Incl
dent TO his duties as member Of the
Canadian boundary commission. directed
attention to this fact in discussion Of the
recall principle with a number Of his old
colleagues.
you folks who think the recall is some
thing new ought to study your histories"
said Mr.. Tawney. THE recall Of members
of Congress was one Of the features Of the
articles Of confederation and was given
ten-year tryOut. II was also provided for
in the original draft Of the Federal C0nsti-
tuition, but was eliminated after prolonged
debate in the constitutional convention.
There is nothing new in the recall principle,
and apparently there is nothing good in IL.
in view Of what our fOrefathers did with It."
Mr.. Tawney's statement created no little
surprise, and there has been much delving
into history to the end that all he said has
been confirmed. "Elliott's Debates. ""Madi-
sons Journal of the Constitutional Conven-
ton" Martins Journal Yates Minutes
Of the Secret Debates Of the Constitutional
Convention" and other authorities all bear
out Mr.. Tawney's statement.
Article v Of the articles Of confederation,
under which this country was governed for
almost a decade following the Declaration
Of Independence, was as follows
For the more convenient management
Ofthe general interests of the United States.
delegates shall be annually appointed in
such manner as the legislature Of each
State shall direct. to meet in Congress on
the first Monday in each November in
every year"
A cursory examination Of the records
does not disclose any instances in which
this recall power was exercised, but doubt
less there were some cases. At any rate.
the principle was regarded as Of sufficient
Importance to warrant its being embodied
in tentative drafts Of the Federal Consti-
tuition when the great constitutional con-
vention was assembled to formulate the
document upon which the government Of
the United States has rested for century
and quarter.
However, the experience in applying the
principle must have been a strong argu-
ment against il, for IL was eliminated when
the Constitution was put in It's permanent
form

only that outer crust on the loaves,
which are then placed in another oven
for their final complete baking.
Originally in Norway gristle bread
was made of rye -four only. In this
country there was demand for
handsomer and larger loaf. and wheat
-four was mixed with the rye, as has
now to some extent come to be the Gus

portions now used are about half and

the same weight as one of all rye.

PEAF0WL ETIQUETTE.
The Hens Formal Introduction of Her
Brood TO the World.


For bringing up their families pea
hens are a model to every other feath-
cred fowl in existence. The nest is
usually made of a quantity of dry
sticks, and when fairly set and on it
the difficulty is to find out where the
hen is. So beautifully does the ash
gray plumage assimilate with the sur
roundings that it is often possible to
tumble over the nest before recogniz-
ing 1t. In this nest are laid from three
to four large whitish eggs about the
size of those laid by the common do
mestic goose.
When the chicks are Matched out they
are the most delightful little brown
birds imaginable. The color is a rich
deep brown, and they much resemble
young pheasants both in size and in
coloring. Many people have often
laughed at the curious etiquette notice
able in the behavior of bees toward
their queen. But the peafowl etiquette
in introducing young chicks to their
owner is at least as curious. AS soon
as the chicks are able to walk the
mother marshals them in procession,
and. leading herself, she stalks to the
place where she and the others are
generally fed. Having formally intro
duced her brood, she takes them back
to the nest, and they are not seen any
more for some weeks. The hen will
come and be fed, but the chicks are
supposed to remain in retreat till they
are grown to the size of spring chick
ems, when they come out and join the
rest of the fowls and learn to feed for
themselves.-Country Home

The theater in the only sense that
is worth considering was born In
Athens. Both tragedy and comedy
spring from feasts in honor of Bac-
chus, and as the jests and frolics were
found to be out of place when intro
duced into graver scenes n separate
province-the true drama-was formed
and comedy arose. The father of the
Greek comedy was Arlstophanes. who
had lots of fun lampooning the public
men of Athens. The creator of Greek
tragedy was Aeschylus, born b. o.
525. In sublimity Aeschylus has new
er been surpassed. lie Is TO the drama
what Phidias and Mlchelangelo are

Sort of Existence.

Sort of Existence.
Cettinje, the capital of Montenegro,
possesses the most remarkable prison
system in the world. The Jail pre-
sents little TO indicate that it is
place of confinement There are no
outer prison walls. and in the cells the
men-about ten in each-are as con-
tentedly and comfortably housed as
their own personal domestic belong
ings can make them. Moreover, they
are generously fed, and cigarettes
without stint. wine occasionally and
no work at all combine to check any
desire to escape more effectually than
would strong walls, iron bars and an
army of warders. When w. J. Still
man was in that country in the seven.
ties all the free men were away fight
ing, and he observed how when mes
senger was wanted the official took a
man out of the prison and sent him
off, having no fear that he would not
return. One such messenger was sent
to Cattaro. In Austrian territory, with
5000 forms for the bank and duly
came back. Another asked n Russian
at Cattaro to intercede with Prince
Nicholas for his release from prison.
"But you are not in prison." said the
Russian.
"Oh.' said the man, II have only
come down for load of skins for So
and-so. but | must go into prison
again when get back to CettinJe."
One guard watched all the prisoners
when they summed themselves out OF
doors, and If he were called away
prisoner would take his rife and do
duty for the time.-London Mail.

that 1t began among some oriental PEG

celled in Mosaic work, as is shown by
the many preserved specimens today
to be seen In the museums. The art
was revived in Italy by Giotto. Cine
