SEES SOME GOOD
IN RECALL |OEk
DIR. PITT THINKS THERE ARE
TINES WHEN TT WOULD
WORK WE'LL.

AS a general proposition. the Rev.
DIR. r. Fl. Pitt does not believe in the
recall OF judges. He Is too much OF
stalwart Jeffersonian Democrat Of tho
old school to allow his political no.
tons to run riot to that extent. How
ever. there are occasions. he believes
when the recall of judieial decisior
at least would be justified. Read what
he has to say edisorialiy in the curl

Now. In another North Carolina town
a man has been sentenced for non
support. The sentence permits the
commissioners to hire him out. and
they proceeded to- hire him TO his
wife. It may be that this IL sufficient
punishment. but at the same time the
fact remains that the cnurt decision

We do not expect any such sight as this. Mr..

certainly will not be elected. Probably, the

GETTING OUT OF ONES CLASS.

Mr. Taft said in Newark that he was bound
1: he had any manhood left in him---to fight
In this way he excuses his attack on former
President Roosevelt. in which he permitted
himself to read into the record personal letters
which he had received from his one-time
friend.
Mr. Taft takes wrong view Of life He
looks at things. as the street has IT, from a
'bum slant" He is not bound 70 fight. He
would have been far better off today in public
estimation had he kept his hands clean.
This matter Of fighting is one that is very
complex Every red blooded individual will,
OF should. fight when the issue Is put to him
squarely. But there are times and occasions
and personages. The man who fights for a
principle is very different character from the
man who fights. for reputation. The man
who fights for his self-respect is very different
from the individual who fights for pleasure.

A Russian Disclosure.

An almost incredible revelation OF the possible
tiles of corruption In the mixture OF autocrntic
and bureaucratic government in Russia Is strik-
ngly presented in the result of the investigation
of the murder of Stolypin, the late Prime Minis
ter The official report does not directly accuse
any of the secret police. but 1t makes statement
that amounts to a clear implication that four
heads Of the secret police had embexxled from
the appropriations and had reason to fear expos
nre by Stolypin.
The grim satire OF a police system that per-
petuates crimes against their victims has long
been evident In Russia. But when 1t reaches the
degree Of assassinating a prime minister whose
offense was the attempt to punish thevcry makes
an appalling illustration OF the degree to which
the Russian system places both high and low at
the mercy OF INSCRIPTIONS rascals. Even now the
