THE RECALL VETO:

Senator LaFollette is under no IL
lusions with respect to Presidents
Taft's veto of the Statehood bills. be-
cause Arizona had inserted in her
constitution a provision for the re-
call of judges. 'It was not the recall
of judges that Taft vetoed" says La
Toilette, "but the basic principle of
populor government"
True enough. At the basis
Of popular government is the
right Of the people of the states to
make their own constitutional law. at
the ballot box. This is among the
most Fundamental Of American rights.
1t was a. right at which ti1espresident
aimed a stealthy blow when he wrote
his veto. Because he, the president,
did not believe that judges should be
recalled he attempted to deny to Ari-
iona and the people of Arizona the
right to make their own constitution.
why7 Let Senator La Toilette reply:
Because the special interests and
a president whose administration has
been consistently special interest
administration see their end in COM
plete self-government.s That the
Arizona constitution contained the re-
call Of judges was not the reason tor
this pronunciamento; 1t was the eX-
cuse. The reason was fear and dis
trust of the people.

Theodore Kremer, the writer of sew

tary Of the National Association OF

FARMERS NEED DOVES
New Move to Save Weed
Eaters-Birds Beat Best
Farmland

New York, Aug. 29-Backed by al
most every agricultural organization in
the country, special efforts to check
the slaughter of turtle doves, that de-
stroy thousands Of weed seeds at one
meal, have been begun at the head
quarters of the National Association
of Audubon Societies in this city. Be-
fore these beautiful birds fly south,
after a summer of wholesale extermin-
alton Of the weeds that menace every
crop on the continent, it is planned to
try to avert the murderous fusillade
that always butchers millions of them
across the southern and southwestern
States. AS most important step in
this direction the Audubon workers
have just succeeded in having a State
game commission, supporting a strong
force of wardens, established in Geor-
gia.
That each member of this popular
species of wild dove can destroy more
weeds in a day than the most vigor-
Gus farmland equipped with a hoe, is
being demonstrated to the farmers in
every section by recent Investigations
of the government Biological Survey.
In the stomachs of three turtle doves
alone, 23,100 seeds of hawkweed, fox
tail, wood-sorrel, paspalum and other
damaging growths have been discov-
cred, plucked from the fields as one
dinner by the persistent feathered
weeders. Every day in the year these
doves are shown to take ga per cent.
of their food in weed seeds from farm
land, and with each stroke of their
nimble bills the ripenirg germ of a
rank week is forever killed.
A considerable amount of the half
billion dollars that the farmers of
America pay each year for labor might
be saved by the natural increase of
the dove weed-killers, which is heavily
offset by their widespread shooting,
according to reports that are being
received at Audubon headquarters
here. Over the peanut and wheat
fields of the south as many as 1900
turtle doves are known to have been
butchered at single shooting, where

NEW LAW FIRM.
Alvin F. Marsh and James A.
Sweeney Form Partnership For
Legal Business.

Plymouth has a new law firm
which will be known as Marsh &
Sweeney. Messrs. Alvin F. Marsh
and James A. Sweeney, both well
known young men of the city, have
formed a partnership and rented
rooms in the Simons block, former
ly occupied by Prosecutor Harry
Unger. They will have their Offices
flied up ready for occupancy by the
latter part of this week, and want
all their friends to call and see
them.
Mr.. Marsh is quite we'll known in
this county and his many friends
will be pleased to know of his new
departure in business. He will con-
tinue his insurance work for the
American Central in connection with
his law business. Mr.. Marsh is a
graduate Of Valparaiso University
Law school in 1907. and practiced
law for two years in Starke county
before coming to Plymouth.
Mr.. Sweeney is also a graduate of
Valparaiso University Law school,
in 1908. He came to Plymouth about
two years ago and has had office
room with Andy Molter. His work
has impressed on all who knew him
his thoroughness and reliability
and he has made many friends dur
ing his residence here. Mr.. Sweeney
comes originally from southern In
diana.
Both members of the new firm are
first class and reliable young men,
and the ONLY plea that could be
entered against them is that they
are both bachelors. However, it is
| thought that this defect may be
remedied as the years go by. They
will handle fire insurance in some of
the good companies. in connection
with their legal business.
