AGAINST RECALL IF JUDGES
 AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN"
GOVERNOR WILSON OF THE ARIZONA KIND AND NOT MUCH OF ANY OTHER kIND-SAYs SUFFICE ENT THAT THE PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE POWER ICE THE LAW-DoES NOT FAVOR INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM

Will some of the Arizona Pregres- siVes who believe that Governor Will son is a Progressive of the same brand as the Arizona Progressives please call halt to the New York Times! In the home of the Arizona Progressives one might say "an en- emy hath done this" but it happens that the New York Times is one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Gov ernOr Wilson.
 At the risk of offending some of the readers of the Examiner who have an idea that Wilson is their kind of ! man we print te following from the New York Times (Wilson and Wall street Democrat).
 "To the Editor or the New York
 Times:
 'I understand that Governor Wilson has expressed himself as being unal teFably opposed to the recall of the judges. For the benefit of your Ari- zOna readers who are called upon to vote on this proposition next Novem- Der, will you kindly reprint a state ment of the presidential candidates views upon this subject?

 To which the Times replied editor tally as follows:
 '1n his speech before the Knife and York club, at Kansas City on May ,, 1911, Governor Wilson said:
 Judges are not lawmakers. They gre not admintrators. Their duty is not to determine what the law shall be, but to determine what the law IS. Their independence, their sense of dig 1ity and of freedom, is of the first

consequence to the stability of the state. To apply to them the principle of the recall is to set up the idea that determination of what the law is must respond to the popular impulse and to popular will and judgment.
 "It is sufficient that the people should have the power to change the law when they will It is not neces- sary that they should directly influ- ence, by threat of recall, those who merely interpret the law already es- tablished'
 In his letter to Prof R. H. Dabney of the University of Virginia, publish ed December 26, 1911, Governor Will son confirmed the sentiment express ed above, as follows:
 "The recall of judges I am absolute ly against, and always have been. It "a remedy for a symptom, not a dis ease-the disease being the control of the system by influences which gen. eral opinion has ceased to control"
 In the same letter, moreover, MT. Wilson declared that the initiative, the referendum and recall of administra- tion officials "are no general or uni versal panacea!" The exclamation point is his. He added this comment:
 'It interested me very much to find that even in Oregon literally no one thought of these new methods of action as a substitute for representa- tive institutions, but only as a means of stimulation and control They are devoted to the idea of our representa- tive institutions as we are-and are bent upon realizing these ideas in practice. That is their conscious ob- ject"
