RAPS RECALL

Tn an address recently delivered by
Attorney General Wickersham, in
speaking of the recall, he said:
Representative republican govern
ment is founded upon practical rec

nrosperous community the average
citizen can give but little time to the
details of his government. He there

selecting representatives to frame
the laws by which he is to be govern
cd and in choosing the principal Off
GERS who are to execute them. His
life. liberty and property are protect
cd from undue invasion in either
branch of the government by means OF
constitutional restrictions on tnelr
powers; and by limiting the terms Tor
which they are chosen there is re-
quired of them a periodical account
of the stewardships.
This system secures to the agents
freedom from undue interference dur
ing their terms of office, thus giving
them time to work out any given prob
lem and to submit it to the test OF ex-
perience before it is condemned.
Abuses of power occur under all
forms of government.
States Stupidity
Representative chosen to make
laws for state or nation have not
been always faithful to their trust.
The greater Importance of the ma
tional legislature, on which the eyes
of a nation are directed, has, as rule,
preserved it from the corruption and
the inefficiency of many of the state
legislatures. The history of the lat
ter has been too often history OF
veneality and stupidity.
But is the remedy to be found in
the overthrow of the whole system of
d? Political and social re-
formers alike are prone to advocate
the overthrow of any system rather
than the more difficult task of select
ing fit agents to conduct the system,
and of the bringing of unjust stewards
to account.
What are judges but impartial ar
bitrators to whom any one Of us may
be compelled at any moment to turn
for protection of life, limb and proper
ty? What will become Of that protec-
ton of our system of government

rage of the mob, when he asserts the

unjust clamor? Who. of us will be Sc
cure in all that we hold dear if our
judges can only retain their places by
consulting the passing fever of the
crowd instead of the laws of the
land?
Glib, Cheap Answer
"A glib, cheap answer is made by
the advocates of purely democratic
government when objection is made
to their schemes. You do not trust
the people, they say. On the contra
ry it is they who do not trust the peo-
pie. Their whole program is based on
the assumption that the people are I'M
fit or unable to choose honest and
faithful representatives
Under such a system the people
abandon all self-restraint and the ne
cessity Of sober second thought, based
on accurate information and thorough
before condemning their
servants.
Such theories have already found
expression in constitutional law, and
even in our eastern states there are
rot lacking those who have seized
upon these notions as a gospel which
IS to bring salvation to the people sit
ing in darkness"

called for the priests and said to them,

L. Church Begging Doing Harm.
There is a lesson in this matter for
US. The people like to see results.
ID They want to know that monies
that are donated for benevolent pur
poses are not all absorbed for Office
expenses. % Voluntary offerings have
the approval of both God and men,
rather than offerings that are impor-
tuned, coaxed, begged, wheedled from
saints and sinners. Everybody who
gives to the Lords cause is advan-
tagged thereby; he not only forwards
benevolent Cause, but stimulates and
cultivates generosity in his own heart.
1t was our Lord who said, ut is more
blessed to give than to receive
where the giving is willing and vOlun-
tary.
Church begging is undoubtedly do
ing great harm. The remark has been
made that the chief item of religion in
some churches is begging for money

solicitation, by the passing around of

TIMELY WARMING
TO DIVORCES

Judge Peter j. Somers, of the
Seven tn judicial District, compris-
ing EsmeraIda county, has taken
action to protect the honor of the
courts from being impugned by
dishonest attorneys or those who
are willing to risk disbarment for
the sake of gratifying the wishes
Of an opulcnt client. The example
is good one.
Other jurists of the state can
not do better than to emulate the
example of the judge of this dis
trict 1t is long step in the right
direction and is probably as far as
the courts, under the present
law, may properly go. 1t provides
that default divorce cases will be
heard only on motion days and that
at least two days previous to the
motion day notice of such hear
ing must be fled with the clerk of
the court and that the motion
calendar, including such divorce
cases, shall be published in advance
in the daily newspapers, the
notice giving the cases and the
names of the parties litigant. 1t
also provides that the testimony of
the plaintiff as to actual bona fide
residence must, in any default
case, be corrobrated by witnesses
or all evidence given in open court.
And better still, it provides that
No Decree Shall be Granted Until
Thirty Days Shall Have Elapsed
