The danger Of the recall where it is
made too easy has been we'll demon
strated in Aberdeen, where an aggrega-
ton of soreheads circulated petition
for the recall Of the police and fire
commissioner. AS in the case with any
petition, no matter what for, il, rece:v-
ed a large number of signers and a
special election was called Since then
it has developed that the commissioner
was in the right and there has been no
candidate placed in the field against
him. A recall properly handled will be
all right, but too often it is made far
too lax.

TWO WAYS

On January 25, the Wisconsin
Legislature elected a United States
Senator. The whole proceeding
occupied about an hour. It occa-
stoned no halt or delay in the leg
islature's business of making laws.
In the primaries last fall the vot-
ers signed the warrant of Senator
La Toilette to represent them
again in the upper house of con-
gress; the election of last week
was in effect only the countersig-
nature Of the senate and Assem- bly,
required by the constitution. In
New York there is deadlock" in
the legislature. For weeks rival
candidates have been fighting to
gain the number of votes neces.
sary to ensure election. The state
house at Albany is the battle
ground of a contest between pow
erful interests. Each is fighting
to send its own man to the senate.
The people stand off at distance
and wonder which "crowd" will
win, knowing that, whatever the
outcome, they stand to be the
losers. Meanwhile the work of
law making is abandoned. Wis
consin has primary; New York
has not.
What is true of New York ap-
plies to Colorado and other states.

|. N. STEVENS

The Pueblo Star journal init
mates that Isaac N. Stevens feels
sighted because he has not re-
ceived scattering vote as candi-
date for United States senator by
the general assembly.
Mr.. Stevens is too much of a
progressive to wish his name men,
toned by the Denver bunch of
statesmen No one except a cor
poration man need apply.
Mr.. Stevens talks in this man
ner:
But there is no use of temper
izing with American political
affairs, for we are in the midst of
governmental revolution that will
not stop or stay until every ves-
tige of special privilege is wiped
out of government interference
and until the democracy which
Jefferson preached and for which
Lincoln strove is firmly established
in these free states.
But every man receiving vote
for senator in the present general
assembly is on record as having
condemned each and all of these
reforms at times when they spoke
their real convictions, and ex-
Governor Thomas is the only man
receiving any votes who has re-
fused during the past two years to
have any political truck with those
who have opposed such reforms,
and his conversion, though recent,
appears to be genuine.
Every other man receiving
votes for senator, be he republican
or democrat has not hesitated,
openly or in ambush, to attempt
to assassinate every one of these
popular government measures"

unusual for the painstaking care

prepared and the able manner in
which it was presented 1t was
noteworthy, moreover, as speech
by one of the newer type of live,
industrious, progressive democrats
of the south-by Senator Duncan
U. Fletcher, of Florida. The
speech was not an effort at foren-
sizes or rhetoric. 1t was simply a
demonstration of ascertained facts,
and a re iuction of those facts to
their logical and inevitable conclu-
sion
THAT Mr.. Richard A. Ballinger,
Secretary of the Interior, has not
been true to the trust reposed in
him as such secretary; that his
administration of that office has
been marked by lack of fidelity
to the public interests: that he is
not deserving of public confidence.

This speech, analytical, pro-
found, its every statement of fact

AN EXCITING DAY
 FOR OLD MEXICO
MAOeRO AND AN EARTHQUAKE ARRIVE IN MEXICO CITY ON
 THE SAME DAY.
Sixty-Three Persons Were Killed by the Earthquake, but the Festlv-
 ities Were Not Interrupted.

Mexico City.-This city had two sensations Wednesday-an earthauake and the arrival of General Madero. probably the next president of the re- public. The earthquake preceded General Madero.
 Sixty-three killed, 75 wounded. T property loss of s5O,000 in gold.
 These are the net results of the earthquake which shocked the resi- dents Of the capital and infected a note of tragedy into what was expect ed to be a day of pure rejoicing. When the work of searching the ruins IS completed. it is probable that the list of dead will be heightened some what. as hiding here and there through out the city there doubtless are many wounded who, with traditional fear of the authorities and government hos. pitals, fear discovery Little of the property loss is covered by insurance
 The shock was of vacillatory, twisting character, but almost free rom trepidatory motion. More than half the dead accounted for were sol, diers. They were caught beneath the failing walls of the artillery barracks In San Gosme, locality near the Mexican Central station Another place where the earthquake demand ed the death penalty in considerable numbers was at the city power plant of the street car company. Here six were killed and six wounded.
 Although the shock was plainly felt in all parts of the city. few real ized the magnitude of the eatastro phe until several hours later, due to the fact that the casualties were con fined to comparatively small area. a considerable distance from the down town district
 Accustomed as the people of the city are to earth shocks and to their harmlessness on former occasions they were slow to learn that this was the most serious shock in a score of years. No personal property of Amer jeans was damaged and with the ex- ception of one Chinese, no foreigner was injured. In the barracks where the soldiers were killed 12 women also lost their lives. They were the wives of the artillerymen.
 The Mexican people did not permit the earthquake to interfere with the festivities incident to the arrival of General Madero. The streets were tnronged with people eager to acclaim Madero as the hero of the day. and he was hailed as the next president of the republic.

 Peter, the first born, was picked for the church, while Ben and myself were allowed to think of some other vocation. Well. when Peter left col lege he told father and mother that he guessed the church could get along without him. as he preferred the law. Then l was picked for the pulpit. and after a term in college my parents were shocked to learn that I had entered a business house far from home.
 That meant the selection of Ben, the youngest, for the church. and when Ben got through his college course he told the old folks at home that he thought it wisest to follow the example of Peter and enter the legal profession. There wre no oth- CT boys, so what could father and mother do but exclaim. The Lord s will be done and give us each q parental blessing
 Years after, when brother Peter reached the federal bench and Ben achieved distinction on the Pacific coast, our parents seemed reconciled to the loss sustained by the pulpits of the country"

THREE CURED OF ECZEMA

When child. I suffered eight years with eczema. could not sleep at night, and had sores all over my chest. We had doctors and none could do any good, until my mother saw the advertisement of the Cuti- cura Remedies in the paper. We used the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and they cured me of eczema. I also used them on my five children. Two of them had eczema very badly. When my children had eczema, I was not worried at all, as I knew the Cuticura Remedies would do their work. They had sores all over their heads, their hair would fall out, and they would scratch all night and day They had it on their heads, face, and in back of the ears so that I thought their ears would drop of. I washed their heads and bodies with Cuticura Soap and they are as clean as the driven snow.
