Rgcan May BE Recalled.

some of the new-fangled forms OF
government that are being intro
duced in parts OF the West and
South do not appear to be working
out so beautifully as some persons
have been led to believe. An ex-
change points out:
Tacoma has been enjoying the re-
call fad for a comparatively short
season yet the people out there have
been actually overwOrking them
selves just to see the political
wheels go round. When the fad
was first introduced, about a year
ago, the city had Eve officers. Now
but two of those original officers are
left. The others have been re-
called. And, Incidentally, the end
Is not yet. Some OF these elected at
the recall contests are being pre-
pared for the sliding board and
very naturally the community Is in
an uproar. The officers are afraid
to exercise the authority they have
and with the political contests con-
summing all the time of the voters.
legitimate business has been almost
abandoned.
Another disadvantage and danger
in the recall scheme Is the opportu-
nifty it offers to inscriptions poll
tlcians and sensational newspapers
o, the undertaking type to stir up
agitation with the oh
ject and the possibility of recalling
a public officer who in fact is do
Ing his duty and serving the people
honestly and efficiently. Many diff
ferent schemes of government have
been tried out and found wanting in
the years that have past and III
some of the present reports are
true, it is not unlikely that the re-
call craze will have to be recalled in
some places by the time the people
get rather good dose of it.

BILE rivers are essential to a proper
execution of the statute, and they
must be in evidence before pur-
chase can be made.

The Future in Mexico.

The Baltimore Sun discusses the
problems that come with the end Of
the cMadero revolution in Mexico in
the following:
Peace seems now assured in Mex
leo. The Madero, revolution has
succeeded, Diaz will leave the pres
identiaI Office, general govern
mental affairs will be administered
by Madero and De La Barra, while
the fourteen men named by the rev.
o!utionists as governors of the vari-
Gus states Will be given official rec
ognition. 1t is hoped the agree
ment reached by the factions will
not only bring a lasting peace but
that it will bring also improved
conditions in many ways. Diaz,
while a strong man and possibly the
man best fitted for control at the
time he assumed office. has not OF
late years given the country the
government calculated to bring to
it the highest and best type of pros
perity. He accomplished great
deal in the way of building up the
material interests of the republic,
but he neglected the education and
intellectual development OF the
masses.
Madero is a man of education and
enhancement, and seems deter
mined to give his people the adj
vantage OF that schooling. He Is
thoroughly imbued with the spirit
of representative government and
should take his people long way
on the road of free and progressive
government. 1t is to be hoped he
will utilize his opportunities along
this line. This country is especially
in the advancement OF
education and enlightenment in

Al Proper Protest.

The city of BlueHeld, this state,
has been grossly and shameful1y II
belIed by scattered-brained news
correspondent, but II is refreshing
to note that there is enough public
pride among the city authorities,
newspapers and residents to refute
the Libel promptly and to denounce
the lying correspondent In vigorous
terms.
Ut seems that after sending out
seven or eight stories OF terrible
murders and other like stories of
crime, none Of which ever hap
pened, under a Bluefield date line,
the correspondent cooked-up one
about the lynching of man in that
city by hanging him to an arm OF
the cross upon the Catholic church
steeple there. Then it was that the
people of Bluedeld became right
eously indignant. Soon afterward e.
number of newspapers branded the
story as fake, the reputable
correspondents of outside newspa-
pers sending dentals to their newspa-
ners. The mayor and chief OF police
also prepared a signed statement,
which was given to the Associated
Press and published, as follows:
ITO whom it may concern:
THE publication purpOrting to be
an account of a lynching OF man
5y hanging to the spire Of church
acre is a lie out of the whole cloth.
There has been no disturbance OF
my nature OF this kind in years:
There has been no fatal shooting
here in six years, and never in the
history of the city has there been
mob. The report is vicious hbelt

interests are for the good of our
selves, Monte Vista and vicinity.
