Mrs Amelia Fowler has, been called
on to help in preserving the $50 flags
captured in battle by the United
States navy. These flags are kept at
the naval academy, and were falling
to pieces, when Mrs. Fowler was in
vited to Annapolis to make an investi-
cation of their condition, and suggest
the best means of preserving them.
Mrs. Fowler estimates that it will cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000 to pre-
serve the flags. She would back the
flags with fine Irish linen, sewing them
by expert needlewomen, with fine silk
thread. The material will cost $1,000,
and the work will require the services
of 100 women zoo days Mrs. Fowler
is an expert authority on the making
and preservation of flags.

Surely Taft could not have re-

for the help of Roosevelt.

BRYAN FOR INITIATIVE
REFERENDUM AND RECALL
Address Before Constitutional Con-
vention of Ohio

In an address last week before the
Constitutional Convention OF Ohio
in session at Columbus, William
Jennings Bryan advocated the
initiative and referendum. one OF
the big issues.before the convention,
taking a view opposite to that OF
Governor Harmon, who, in an ad-
dress several weeks ago, urged the
charter-makers to wait until the
initiative and referendum had been
tried in some other state.
Mr.. Bryan declared the recall an
evolution rather than revolution,
and said:
The only difference between the
recall as now proposed and impeach-
ment as it has been employed is
that in impeachments the trial is
before body OF officials. while the
recall places the decision in the
hands of the people.
In championing the initiative and
referendum, Mr.. Bryan said:
Experience has shown that the
defects OF our government are not In
the people themselves, but in those
who, acting as representatives OF the
people, embezzle power and turn to
their own ad vantage the authority
given them for ihe advancement OF
the public welfare.
The initiative and referendum
do not decrease the Importance oil
legislative bodies nor do they with
draw authority from those who are
elected to represent the people; on
the contrary, when the people have
the initiative and referendum with
which to protect themselves, they
can safley confer larger authority
upon their representatives
Concerning courts and recall o.
judges, Mr.. Bryan said:
0"The Judge, like every other OH
Ger, is the servant OF the people
and there is no reason why hs
should be made independents OF per
manent public opinion upon ques
tions fundamental in character
The people are much more apt to dea
Justly with judges than they are Il
receive justice at the hands o
judges who distrust the good inten
OF the masses,
The judge who would be served
by fear OF a recall would not be +
for the place anyhow. If there i
any position in whichiwe need rigid
uncompromising uprightness, it
upon the bench, and the recall, In
stead of menacing the independence
OF the judiciary, is more likely
improve the character of those VIII
occupy judicial positions.
