LaFollette Raps Taft on Veto of
Arizona Recall.


Madison, Wis, Aug. 25.-'It was
not the recall of judges that Taft We
toed; it was the basic principle of popu-
lar government. So declares Senator
LaFollette's Weekly magazine.
Consider, /" he continues, 1.-THE spec
tacle of a president of the United
States giving utterance to solemn
warnings against the tyranny of a
popular majority and the dangers of
'momentary gusts of popular
passion. >"
Now comes the president of the Uni
ted States-himself exilted by the
votes of the popular majority and de-
clares that the people can not be trust
ed to rule; that up to certain point it
is we'll to let them play at self- GOVERN
ment but beyond that it must submit
to government frcm above Taft be-
lieves in government by Sc ect few.
''Taft suggests that he is using this
opportunity TO assert in no doubtful
tones the ne cessity for an Independent,
and untra,nmsled judiciary His mes
sage is an effort to turn the prestige
and power OF presidential disapproval
sgainst movement that is gaining re-
markable headwsy throughout the
union.
''Why? Because the special inter-
ests and a president whose administra-
ton has been consistently a special in
terest administration see their end in
complete self government. That the
Arizona constitution contained the re-
cell Of Judges was not the reason for

Escaped Convicts Do Murder In
Canada.


Anamosa, Ia, Aug. 30-Special-
Charles A. Mecum, alias Charles
Smitch, who made his escape from the
reformatory here with the connivsnce
of his brother A. D. Mecum, will not
be brought back to Iowa for trial. The
two men are being held at Winnipeg
on the charge of having murdered q
constable of police and the Canadian
authorities refuse to give them up.
The first clue to the whereabouts of
the men since Smitch's escape came in
a telegram received by Sheriff Hogan
at Anamosa, advising him that the two
men whose identity is fully established
are being held on murder charge
there.
The Winnipeg advices state that the
pair had been responsible for series
of robberies which have occurred there
within the last two weeks. The Win
nipeg officers had been camping on
their trail, and when Constable Trey.
nor surprised them a few nights ago
as they were emerging from a resi-
dence, they opened fire, killing the
officer almost instantly.
Smitch it will be remembered, made
a sensational escape from Anamosa re-
formatory, and in the getaway Ha-
maker, his guard, was seriously in
jured. Smitch had been at work in
the quarry some distance from the
prison when request came by phone
for his attorney to see him. Warden
Barr at once sent for the prisoner, and
while Hamaker was conducting Smitch
back to the reformatory the escape
was effected. They were travelling .
lonely road when man driving q sim
gle rig approached. Without warning
he opened fire. the bullet striking
Hamsker in the abdomen. Hamaker
returned the fire and wounded one of
the men in the hand. He lost con-
seriousness and when he recovered the
men were tying him to tree. where
they left him until his cries attracted
passing farmers.
Posses were at once organized but
the only trace ever found of the men
was the abandoned livery rig and pair
of horses they had stolen from a field
and ridden to Marion, where it is sup
posed they made their further escape
by freight train heading for Canada.
Members of the board of control
state it is not likely that the two men
will be returned to Iowa for punish
ment, because of their attack of guard
Hamnker. The Canadian authorities
are unwilling to surrender the prison.
ers.
The Identification of the men as the
escaped Anamosa convicts was COM
pleted last night, and is said to be
thoroughly conclusive.
"Smitch's" half brother A. D. Me-
cum, is said to be notorious criminal,
having twice served sentences in the
Missouri state penitentia'y at Jeffer-
son City. He had been out Of prison
only short time prior to the escape of
"Smitch" from Anamosa.

The Average Opinion Of 1t.

2. Des Moines Daily News (Republican)
This paper is in no sense party
organ, but it must report as a matter
Of truth, demonstrated by the facts,
that the democratic house of congress,
now adjourned, not only accomplished
some good things but did all it could to
cut down the high cost of living. On its
tariff reduction measures it compro-
missed with the senate all it honorably
and reasonably could, but its measures
were vetoed by President Taft.
The democratic house stands before
the people as of indisputable record for
reduction of the cost of life's necessi-
ties to the poor man. President Taft
stands before the people as the one
who blocked such reforms. This is
fact. 1t is in no sense partisanism to
90 present the situation.
The house makes no excuses for it's
inability to do something for the trust
ridden consumers. Mr.. Taft has his
excuses for his vetoes. But the ordi-
nary man will simply see that the demo-
cratic house has been for and the re-
publican president against the con-
s:mer.
The democratic house made possible
Canadian reciprocity, campaign public
ity and other legislation of a minor
nature. Its inveetig atoms of the trusts
have educated the whole people. 1t
has proved itself to be well organized.
mighty force aligned for men rather
than dollars.
The only thing President Taft has
got out of the session is endorsement
Of his Canadian reciprocity deal, q
measure which he himself admits ia
only for .'better relations. He is be-
fore the country today as one opposed
to reduction of the high cost of living,
opposed to reductions that he himself
pronounced "indefensible" and hence
robbery of the people.
So far as politics is concerned, the
democra attic house could afford to ad-
iourn. and if VIM. Howard Taft doesn't
have his political troubles during the
next eight or ten months, we're no
Judge of thunder and lightning.
