Recall Not a New Idea.

That tn" recall is a principle older
than the federal institution itself
instead of being Il urw-ianglcd issue
or policy evolved by modern pro-
grcssiVcs, has just been discovered
in Washington. 1t is the general
impression that the recall is the very
latest thing IN ultra-radical politics
Il sort of harem skirt in political
fashions, as IL were. As IA matter
of fact, the recall was given II ten
year test in the United States over
IA century and n quarter ago.
Former Representative James A
Tawney OF Minnesota, who returned
to Washington this week to look af-
ter matters incident to his duties as
IA member of the Canadian boundary
commission, called attention to this
fact in discussion of the recall
principle with number of his old
colleagues.
"Gou folks who think the recall
is something new ought to study
your HISTORIES said Mr.. Tawney.
"Thc recall Of members of congress
was one of the features OF the ar.
ticles OF confederation and was

so provided for in the original draft
of the federal constitution, but was
eliminated after prolonged debate
I'm the constitutional convention
There is nothing new in the recall
principle" and apparently there j.
nothing good in it, IN view of what
our forofathcrs did with It e"
Mr.. Tawney's statement created
no little surprise, and there has been
much drlving into history, to the
end that all he said has been con
hrmcd. Elliott'S Debates, Mudi-
sons journal of the constitutional
Convention, Martin : Journal, Yates
Minutes Of the Secret Debates of
the Constitutional Convention, and
other authorities all bear out Mr..
Tawney's acknowledgements.

GUARDING De LASSY
IN FEAR OF SUICIDE
Collapses When Found
Guilty of Murder and Is
Sentenced for Life.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. ia con-
Etant guard to prevent his suicide is
maintained today over Count Patrick
O'Brien De Lassy, who last night was
found guilty of the murder of his
brother-in-law, Count Nasilli Bouturlin
and sentenced to penal servitude for lie
in Siberia De Lassy has completely
collapsed and it is feared that he will
lose his mind. Nine. De Lassy has pc
titioned the court to be permitted TO
share her husbands imprisonment.
DR.. Ivan Pantchanko. who was found
Jointly guilty and sentenced to fifteen
years Imprisonment, is buoyed up with
the hope of a speedy communication of his
sentence, owing to his age. seventy
years, and the general belief that he
was merely the tool of the designing
count, who planned Bouturlin's death
that his wife might get rich inherit
snce.
Pantchenko also finds comfort in the
acquittaI Of Nine. MuraVieff, his para
mour. The opinion is general that the
verdict was due to prejudice. There is
sympathy for PantChenko, but rejoicing
over De IaSsy'S fate.
