wireless tower and sent up a hail
to Casco, keeper of Ships Bottom
Life Saving Station, who stood at
the foot of the sand dunes, gazing
seward at a passing Government
ship, flying the barred flag of the
Revenue Service at her gaf.
1t was not a day for any ship to
venture close to the dangerous
reefs off Barnegat unless she had
important business at hand. The
wind blew in from the Atlantic in
icy blasts, and inshore the ocean
was piling up a long line of surf
that promised work for the Ships
Bottom men, whose duty it was to
guard the coast in conjunction
with the new wireless station the
Government had established on
the beach.
From the top of the sand dune
where the basket-mast tower of
the wireless was erected, he could
look down on ocean and beach and
the imminent Ships Bottom Sta
ton, where the round shouldered
surfmen lounged about the boat
house.
Out beyond the station lay the
rocks of Gridiron Reef, and to the
southwark, a rif1eshot down, a
single gray gull balanced inquir-
ingly over the "Ships' Grave
yard" as the beach folk called the
broad strip of quivering quicksand
that stretched out from the shore
in a shimmering spearhead, barren

DOING US GOOD

President Taft's attitude, in his
vetoes, is that of the man who
wants to do good to the people
from above, But that cannot be.
The only way any permanent good
can be done to or for the people is
by themselves. And the more di-
rectly it is done by themselves, the
better. Therefore, there is no
foundation in fact for fear of the
recall of the judiciary. And re-
vision of the tariff by experts is
more of this doing good from the
top. The good that is done from
the top is usually, nay inevitable for
the benefit of the people at the top.

Farthest Southwest

Away down in the farthest south
west corner of the United States lies
city beloved of the old Spanish
Padres, and famed for its matchless
harbor, it's equally matchless climate,
and its beauteous maidens. This
city farthest away of all cities in the
Union, will hold big Exposition in
1915, to celebrate the completion of
the Panama Canal, from which it ex.
poets to derive great material bene-
fits. During the same year there
will be another Exposition in San
Francisco, and the double attraction
will take millions of persons to the
Coast. San Diego, with characters
tic Western energy, has already
broken ground for its Exposition
buildings. a ceremony in which the
President himself assisted, and at
which he was represented by Hon.
John Barrett, the only international
official in Washington.

ton. What really will be decided
in the future is whether centralized
government, typified in the Pres
ident, has so gained in power and
prestige during the last few years
as to be an influence that can
smother local sentiment for either a
reform or a fad. The President, it
seems to the Evening Press, has
swung the big stick with a vigor
never shown even by President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Taft has told many
thousand people that he knows bet
ter than they do what is good for
them. The recall is not moral
issue like polygamy. 1t is purely a
question of expediency. Because
the President deems it inexpedient
he has welded the most powerful
influence which the constitution
gives him-the veto power, a power
which the British King would not
dare to USE"

The Recall 1874 Years Old

Representative government is fine
in theory, but the experience of a
century has shown that the men
who are chosen by the people to re-
present them are not always true to
their trust. They forget that they
are only agents and assume magis-
terial functions, and so the people,
who are the source of power, are
adopting direct legislation. 1t is a
radical change, a grand progressive
movement, virtual political revo-
luton.
Representative form of govern
ment has developed class of un-
patriotic persons who fatten by sys-
tematically corrupting the peoples
representatives. These men do not
desire a change. They particularly
condemn the recall and call it
"new-fangled" idea, forgetting or
ignoring the fact that it is older
than the constitution.
The articles of confederation.
which was the organic law of this
country previous to the adoption of
the present constitution, were adopt
ed on November Is, TIT. Article
V of that time honored document
contains the recall. 1t may be well
for such of our reactionary fellow
citizens who have never read it, or.
having read it, have forgotten it, to
read it again. 1t is as follows:
Article V.-For the convenient
management of the general interests
of the United States, delegates shall
be annually appointed in such man
ner as the legislature of each state
shall direct, to meet in congress on
the first Monday in November in
every year, with power reserved
to each state to recall its delegates.
or any of them, at any time within
the year, and to send others in their
stead for the remainder Of the year..
This is where we get the recall.

NOTHING TO RETRACT

NOTHING TO RETR.ACT
THE GUARDIAN has nothing to re-
tract in its editorial in the issue of
August 25th. We are still of the
belief that the people of Arizona
have the right to say what laws
they want under Statehood, and
that it is not up to President Taft
to pick out any particular provision
in our constitution and say that we
must not have it, else we shall rot
have Statehood.
The constitution adopted by the
people of Arizona is not in conflict
with the national constitution or a
republican form of government,
and the people are strictly within
their rights in adopting those pro-
gressive measures, the initiative,
the referendum and the recall, in
order to make more perfect a gov
eminent for the people and by the
people when Arizona becomes a
sovereign State in the Union.
Some of our Arizona contem-
poraries have gone out of their way
to take us to task for giving the
people bad advice" as they claim
we did, when we asserted the plain
truth editorially that the people of
Arizona should not submit to the
dictation of President Taft.
Outside of Arizona there are a
number of the leading newspapers,
republican and democratic, who Sc
verely criticize President Taft for
vetoing the Flood resolution. The
Philadelphia North American Unde-
pendent Republican, takes the
ground that it is unfair for Presi-
dent Taft to dictate to the new
State what position it should take
on a matter of its own governmental
policy" and is unsparing in its criti-
csm of this first important exercise
of the veto power by Mr.. Taft.
The North American further SAYS:
President Taft's action promises
to make the recall of the judges an
issue in nearly every State of the
Union" There is no doubt but
that this will come true. Every
where, from all over. the land, the
people will take up the question of
interference by the president in the
laws that were passed by the people
Of Arizona. Indignation will lead
to agitation and discussion of the
rights OF the people of any State to
make their own laws, the right to
govern themselves.
The campaign for States rights
will now go on and in the end the
people, the great mass of workers,
who have made our country great
and prosperous, will be victors in
the battle that will be waged for
the conservation of their right to
make laws that the big interests"
AMI their henchmen in Congress and
the White House would try to de.
prive them of.
We witness today that the execu-
tive and judicial branches of our
national government are taking to
themselves the making and passing
OF laws that heretofore have always
belonged to the legislative branch.
Congress may pass a law in favor
OF the people. The president, rep
resenting the executive branch of
the government, may veto it, and
Congress may pass it over his veto.
According to our republican form
of government. this last act of
Congress should be sufficient and
the measure would become a law.
But no, this is not true. The inter
ests that are opposed to the measure
have the last say, and the judicial

Chicago, April 5.-Frightened by the
strength of the foreign wheat Market
short sellers rushed to cover today and
prices made sudden upward jump.
From a crop standpoint, the situation
appeared more bearish than at any time
this season, but the Liverpool quota
tions had been lifted in consequence OF
firmer spot offerings and on account
OF q better milling demand, with the
continent bidding for cargoes. More
over, cash demand here was little
broader and some dealers were expect
ing a material increase of activity. The
opening was u @ g to l cent higher.
May started at s5@S5ss, gain of IS
to cent, and steadied at S51s.
Improved inquiry from exporters
caused a further advance, especially on
May, which finally overtopped July in
price The close was strong, with May
IFS higher at s6A.
Corn.
Weather unfavorab!e for free move
ment from farms gave strength to corn.
The rise IN wheat had also bullisn
effect. May opened Il TO Is 61 cent up
at 47A to ATS @47&, and seemed in
clined to hold close to the upper level.
Purchasing by export houses resulted
in additional gains. The close was
firm with May at 477s, net gain of

age and caused a bulge in prices.
