.L|7TLETON SEES PERIL
IN RECALL Of JUDGES
Says Feature of Arizona Con.
stitution Strikes at Arch
of Government.

1T will strike from the splendid struc-

W. Littleton OF New York declared in the

constitution.
THE seasoned and staid traditions Of

orderly processes of regulated justice are

born OF hate and disappointment.
Disciplined by Responsibility.
The dignified minister of the establish
ed law. ennobled by the brandeur of his
lofty station and disciplined by the pres
sure of sober responsibility. is to be de-
graded by the impending threat and dis
tracted by the uncertainty of precarious
tenure.

most attractive and most dangerous Of
man, the daring demagogue and the in
trigung political boss were mentioned by
the speaker as among those who might be
expected to exercise wrongfully the
privilege of recall against just and fear
less judges.
Precedents Are Lacking.
I'VE look in vain for precedents," contin-
ued Mr.. Littleton. for no people ever
dared to write such an example into their
history We make a fruitless search for

Of the earth have only contrasts to offer
The examples Of patriotism and courage

genius and courage the history of our
country might have been chronicles OF
contending states"
Quoting from st. Luke, telling how Pr
late, bending before the cries of the mob
permitted Christ to be taken away and
crucified. the speaker concluded:
God forbid that the sanctuaries of the
country of America shall ever be ravaged
by the sibillant hiss of mob, crying, Cru
city him, cruelty him.
