One of the most Incorporate utter.
a"~ee -cen in public print lately may
be found in an editorial In the Kansas
City Journal with reference to Sena-
tor Owen and his advocacy Of the re-
call Of judges The Journal says:
Nobody but an ignorant man or a
consututlonally dishonest man ever
wants to put a referee meaning a
tudgeJ In such a position that Is sub
ject to the recall On account Of IN
satisfactory service The ChieftaIn
does not lndorse some Of the things
advocated BY Senator Owen. but
would not have the temerity to ac-
cuse him Of being constitutionally dis
honest. and it is very certain that he
cannot be ciassed as ignorant. The
force Of the Journals criticism of Sen
ator Owen Is lost by such unreasonable
and Incorporate utterances
