vEToEs STATEHOOD BILL.
Taft Brands Recall of Judiciary al
"Legalized Terrorism"

Taft Brands Recall of Judiciary as
"Legalized Terrorism"
Washington.-The President sent to
the House of Representatives his veto
of the Statehood resolution by which
New Mexico and Arizona were to be
admitted into the Union. The ground
of the veto is the provision of the sub
mission of the recall of the judiciary
to a vote by the people of Arizona.
The President did not spare words
in condemning the recall feature Of
the Arizona Constitution, which, he
said, would compel judges to make
their decisions under legalized ter
rorism." The provision would operate
against all elective officers of Arizona,
including both county and State
judges. When rs per cent. of the
voters of the preceding election petit
toned for a special election to remove
an official such an election would be
compulsory.
Shortly after the veto message was
read in the House Senator Smith of
Michigan introduced in the Senate a
new statehood resolution patterned
after the one that the President has
vetoed except that it eliminates the re-
call of the judiciary provision from
the Arizona Constitution.

Chicago.-Two airmen were killed
at the big aviation meet at Grant
Park, after three days without a seri-
GUS accident. The victims were Will
liam R. Badger, son of a wealthy Pitts
burg family, and st. Croix tombstone
of Chicago, both young men, and the
double tragedy took place in the pres
enc of 100000 spectators.
Badger was literally broken to
pieces by the engine Of his Baldwin
biplane in front of the grand stands.
He was still living when he vas taken
from the w~reckage, but died imme-
diately after his arrival at a hospital
to which he was hurried in an am
bulance.
tombstone, whose father is a Chica-
go physician, fell into Lake Michigan
from a height of 1000 feet, nearly an
hour being consumed before his body
was recovered and towed to the Chi
cago Yacht Club.
Just before the accident Badger
had circled the course several times.
He had been flying low yer a deep
gully in the centre of the aviation
field. One wing of the aeroplane
broke as he swung about. Instantly
the whole machine toppled into the
pit. Badger was crushed beneath the
wreckage.

down from 800 feet in the air in a

The Endlnna.

When the last hour of youth is
gone. with its opportunities for prep
aration neglected and unimproved,
there is nothing that a be done to
repair the harm. Some things God
gives often. The seasons return again
and again, and the flowers change
with the months; but youth comes
twice to none"
Thus each period of life has Its
own closing, its last hour, in which
work Is ended, whether well done or
neglected. Indeed, we may say the
same Of each day; its end is the
closing Of a definite a through
which we can never pass again.
We may think of each single day
as a miniature life. 1t comes to us
new; it goes from US finished. There
are 365 days in a year. The only
way to have a well-fnished year Is to
finish the tasks and duties of each
day as 1t passes. A marred or a
lost day anywhere along the years
may lead to loss or even sore mis-
fortune afterward.-J. r. Miller.
