Mr. TT AND THE VETO.

and prevented them from commend.

Of the paper which had opposed the

better proof Of this sane condition
than he comment Of the New York
World Democratic paper, on the

Constitution for the recall of Judges.
The Presidents service is not to
the Arizona people alone. 1t benefits
le entire country, The value of the

Yes, We have noticed the improve

with news amply emphaized by con.
splcuous heads, well arranged, and
has always been ably edited. Few

less. Some ,haye nothing at all to
commend them to public favor. Still
1t is necessary to. have them, If for

"Mr Taft ptters a great truth when
he says: ''En order to maintain the
rights Of the minority and the individ
ual and to preserve our constitutional
balance we must have Judges with
courage to decide against the major
ity when justice and law require, .
1.-THE weight of public opinion, fit
Is not now, will eventually be on the
side Of Mr.. Tafts decision that he was
impelled to veto the bill because the
recall Of Judges is SO perniclous in
Its effect, so destructive Of independ:
ency in the judiciary, SO likely to sub,
jeet the rights of the individual to
the possible tyranny of a popular ma
iority and therefore to be SO iniur-
lous to the cause of free government"
WHO is to be the judge Of the sound
ness Of judicial opinion? Demagog-
ues who hate Justice? Voters who.
have neither the time; training, incll.
nation nor capacity to comprehend,
and analyze legal principles? With
Judges subservlent to the apparent un
registered popular will and terrorlzed.
by storms of popular passion and pre-
iudice, the Constitution would become
"a thing of shreds and patches and
judicial interpretations Of the law
travesties on justice. Senator Borah
was right when he said that the Gov.
eminent without this steadying,.
stable, lmmoyable tribunal Of Justice
would go to pieces in a decade"
st behooves those who argue for the
recall, or any such political nostrum,
to ask themselves where If adopted,
it would stop.
IF it were merely a means Of get
hing quickly rid of an OCCASIONAL
Judge like Archibald, who puts the
small offender in Jail while fnfng
much more guilty big offenders, little.
harm need be done. Some safe, short
course to- an end so good. II such q
course were possible, would be de.
sirable.
"But If the summary busting OF
such a Judge were to have the effect
Of putting every Judge remaining on
the bench, in jeopardy of public clam
or and in danger Of losing his life,
work, SO that fear OF consequences
might dog his every act, we should
lose in the end far more than we
should gain. We do not want weak
Judges. We do not want cowed judi
ges. We do not want Judges that
give Judgment with an "ear to the
ground" to catch the mutterings OF
mobocracy.
"Mr. Taft we'll reminds US in his mes
sage that We have already, in the pro-
vision for impeachment, a sufficient
protection against unfit or unjust
Judges. And he is right. The pro
cess of impeachment is orderly, 1t is
dlgnified. 1t is itself a form Of trial
under the law. 1t is made formidable
and impressive by a series of preccd-
ents reaching from the early days Of
the Republic. 1t is better to bear our
occasional Archbalds, who will be but
d little time with us, than to degrade.
and demoralize the entire judiciary
forever. Let us not burn the barn to
| kill the wasps, "a
Democrats in particular ought to
consider whether they are wise in
committing themselves to the prlnci-

Used Another Man. Leu..

In the hall Of the house Of represent.
atives there is painting Of George
Washington. He looks most COM
handing person, with the stature Of
a giant and faultless physique. But
looking at the portrait recently pub
lie man commented:
"That is a good deal Of sham.
George Washington never looked like
that, though Eve no doubt he would
have been proud to appear so magnif-
cent
Notice the legs the speaker con-
tinued. ''They are perfect beauties,
but they are not Washington's. They
are the legs of General Smith Of New
Jersey, soldier Of the Revolution.
1T happened this way" he explain
ed In conclusions: washington had
quite unimpressive legs, and the artist
who painted that picture was so dis
satisfied with their shape that he per-
suaded General Smith to lend his
faultless members as models So,
while we have the face and torso of
our great first president, the support
ing legs are those of one of his gen
erals. Long may they stand"-Wash-

KNEW De QUlNCEY's WORKS.
Choate Was Better Posted on Them
Than the Author Himself.

Than the Author Himself.
Many years ago James T. Fields. the
publisher. was making collection of
the writings of De Quincy. The es.
says were widely scattered in various
periodicals and were often hard to
identify. Mr.. Fields knew Rufus
Choate as devoted student of De
Quincy and wrote him one day ask
ing his opinion as to certain article.
Was it by De Quincy or not?
Mr.. Choate replied that it certainly
was. There could be no mistaking the
style of the piece. A few weeks later
Mr.. Choate received through Mr..
Fields letter from De Quincy deny
ing absolutely and somewhat indig.
nantly the authorship of the article.
But Choate was not of the stuff to
yield his opinion for trifle like that
He wrote to Mr.. Fields:
II still believe that De Quincy wrote
the essay. De Quincy to the contrary
Notwithstanding"
Doubtless Mr.. Fields read the note
with a smiling comment. ''That's just
like Choates confidence In his own
Judgment!
Months elapsed. One day there came
letter from De Quincy containing a
humble apology for his previous blum
der BY chance he had found in his
desk the manuscript Of the very article
in question. Written as it had been
years before. it had passed entirely
from his mind. land you may tell your
young Boston lawyer" he concluded,
shat he knows my style better than l
know it myself"

He met her one night at reception
and asked her to so to the theater
with him. She accepted, and. as they
liked each other, they went again later
Then it got to be weekly occurrence.
Finally he got to thinking that he was
solid enough with her to go-out be-
tween the acts. and so he did. For
several weeks he worked this and met
with no rebuff. But she was thinking
a lot, even though she wasn't saying
anything.
One evening she said, why don't
you go to the smoking room to smoke
instead of going to the lobby?''
Isis there a smoking room in
side?" he asked.
