TWO NEW DEJIVERANCES.

President Taft, in his speeches in the
Northwest, so far departed from his
prepared manuscripts as to give forth
two important and gratifying major
points. The first is in his speech at
Bellingham on Monday, in predicting
the opening of the Panama canal. In
this speech he place the date for the
opening of that canal for traffic as
July ]. 1918; that is, one year from
the first of next July. This is rushing
things with a vengeance: and il indi
Gates President Taft s strong faith in
Col, Gocthals, and in the efficiency of
the men and the machinery engaged in
the great work of digging the Panama
canal. 1t certainly is high gratitca-
tion 10 the country to be assured of
this early date for the completion Of
that tremendous work, and for the
opening Of traffic through the canal

The next new dellvcrancc of Prcsi.
dent Taft was in his talk at Seattle
on Monday night. where he referred
10 conditions in Alaska The Presl.
dent declared that Alaska should have
at least a sem-self- governing body 10
enact legislation, subject, of course, to
Congress. 1t appears that the Presi
dent has been talking about such a
board or commission, and that Congress
is unwilling TO allow such commits
sion 10 be altogether sppoiutive. And
so the President now suggests semi
appointive body, partly elective, and
partly appointive; a legislative coun
ell. perhaps. in which the lower house
would be elective and the upper one
appontive. The simplest form Of this
sort of government, however, is that
which was adopted for the Louisiana
territory upon the great acquisition OF
that region from France. An appoint
i've commission was named, which drew
up laws AMI regulations for the gov
ernment of that trans Mississippi re
giou. and which was in operation d
sufficient length Of time TO crys,alizc
the government and the laws for al
that acquisition. and upon which tn,
subsequent legislation was founded

There Is no reason 10 suppose tha,

pointed by President Taft that would
do equally good service for Alaska;

THE JUDICIAL RECALL.

The vote in California on Tuesday
on twcnty-three proposed amendments
70 the State constitution Will be of cs-
pecial interest outside Of the State on
two questions, woman suffrage and the
recall OF the judiciary The woman
suffrage amendment appears to be de
featcd. The initiative and referendum
have carried by very great maiorities,
but these will be OF comparatively local
interest. The recall seems 10 have car.
ricd by even n greater majority than
any of the other propositions, the vote
against it being scarcely more than
opc-third OF the vote in its favor. When
We remember that tho recall also in
cludes the recall Of the judges. the
significance Of this vote cannot he
mistaken. II was the intention Of the
people of California, evidently, TO
reach the Judges more particularly, in
the way Of recall and. in view of n
good deal Of the litigation in that State,
one can hardly wonder that the people
would wish some hold upon the Judges
earnest and honest attention 10 the
real merits Of litigation than TO the
tcchnicalitics and the apparent efforts
to defeat the ends of Justice. The peo-
pic of California are evidently not in
tho least alarmed ar the prospect of
hampering their Judges by the recall;
quite the reverse. They are tired Of
having their urges proceed without
any direct accountability. and Ia make
it so difficult to punish rogucs that long
before the punishment is. inflicted the

business, and would be glad TO get

III tho DELAYS,
chargeable to the courts must undoubt-
edly be credited with this very strong
vote in favor of the recall in Califor
MIA; and the provision for the recall
of the judges has evidently added
strength TO the Affirmative vote. We
are inclined to think that il would do
the same thing in this judicial district
of Utah, where the Judges are so dlla-
tory that people, despairing Of having
any determination Of their eases, arc

than 90 10 law IT is certainly true
that in the Territorial days, when VIC

time, and only four All the last. and
when these justices handled all the bust
ness, including the Federal business.
the dockets were kept far clearer than
they are now. Motions are made in
the courts and taken under advise
meut for months, until the whole mat
ter has been practically forgotten,
whereas they should be decided of
hand, without any delay whatever.
The result is, that Justice is denied. as
President Taft so forcefully says. and
Iitigants are deprived Of their rights,
not by reason Of failure of their claims.
but by reason of neglect or refusal of
the courts 10 give final Judgment in
the case. We are inclined 10 think that
the recall Of the Judges in this district,
especially, would be of immense serv-
ice as a spur to the Judges TO take
hold Of and do their proper work

ANOTHER DEFEAT
FOR LOCAL CLUB
C. M. A. BASKET BALL OUTFIT
LOSE TO HAWKINS BY IL
TO 81.

Columbia Military basket ball team
suffered their second defeat Satur-
day afternoon by Hawkins School to
the tune of 81 to IL. The locals were
simply outplayed at nearly every point
of the game and from the start to the
finish it was a matter Of how much
the score would be against them.
The cadets were heavily penalized
for holding and roughing it, and Pond
secured five points from the foul line
out of about eight trials. Philips
and Witherspoon failed to pitch sin
gle foul out of about four trials.
Bond, Gibbs and DuBose were the
features of the afternoon performance
and pitched baskets at difficult posi-.
tions. There was feeling of dlsap-
pointment on the part of the rooters
during the game, but after the battle
was all over the rooters expressed
themselves as being for G. M. A. first,
last and all the time and when the
next contest comes off they will be as
enthusiastic as ever.

VOTE BUYING PROBE
GETS INTERESTING
STATES ATTORNEYS DISMISSAL
CAUSES BIG SENSATION IN
DANviLLE.

DANVILLE, ILL.,, Feb. 20.-Nothing
developed today to show why the
grand jury yesterday decided to dis
pense with the presence of States
Attorney John H. Lewman during
the remainder of their vote-selling
investigation, but it is rumored that
he has not lent enthusiastic support
to the work of securing evidence.
Judge Kimbrough said tonight no ap-
plication or suggestion had been
made to him either by the grand
jury of Lewman, looking to the ap-
pointment of special prosecutor.
George B. Weisiger, a young law
student, member of the jury, is now
conducting the examination Of wit
nesses, and 1t is stated he will con-
tinue in that capacity. A number of
witnesses were examined today in
the vote-selling inquiry and several
we're summoned for tomorrow.
The dismissal of States Attorney
Lewman from the grand jury room
s o'clock yesterday created one Of
the biggest sensations of the vote
selling investigation. 1t Is stated
that Lewman merely asked the wit
nesses perfunctory questions and
this so nettled Foreman woodward
that he asked the prosecutor to be
more specific and try to get all the
information possessed by the wit
nesses. Lewman Is said to have
replied that he would conduct the
investigation az he thought best
without the assistance Of any OF the
Jurors. This led to the break.
1t was stated today that an effort
would be made to have Hardy H.
Whitlock, former County Treasurer,
who returned to Detroit, appear be-
fore the grand jury and also L. x.
