E. w. Campbell.

E W. Campbell, one of Monroe
City's most highly respected citizens
died at his home Friday Feb. 9, 1912
after a lingering illness from con-
sumption, MIR. Campbell was a cit
lion of Rails County for many years
previous to coming to Monroe.
He was born in the year 1843
and was married in 1853, and was
the father of seven children, only
three of whom, with the widow sur
vive him.
The children living are Mrs. John
Brown. of Marion County; Mrs. Doc
Jarman, of Rails County and Miss
Vena of this city.
Mr.. Campbell was university re-
spected not only in this city but in
the neighborhood of Hassard where
he resided so many years. He was
victim of the great cyclone which
occurred on March 10, 1875. That
terrible storm destroyed his home
and seriously injured his wife and
the awful experience will linger in
the minds of the survivors as long
as memory lasts.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev Smith at his late residence
in this city Sunday after which the
remains were taken to Bethlehem
Church in Rails county for burial.
The Democrat extends sympathy
to the bereaved family.

Rome, Feb. 10 Pope Plus today
issued an order that all cardinals
and other prelates of the Roman
Catholic church must refuse to at
tend social functions where the

Discussion Over Proposal to
Reform Judiciary

SAGINAW, Mich, Sept. Sat the

association. w. T. Pope. OF Bad Axe.
took exception to several statements
that had been made regarding the
recall OF judges and judicial decl-
sions
Dean Henry NJ. Bates, OF the u. OF
nj. law school, said he was opposed
to the adoption OF this latest PROPOSE
ton Toastmaster, Watts S. Hum
phrey. OF Saginaw, took the same
stand, declaring the recall would az
feet all people and their property and
he couldn't see one redeeming feature
In either the recall OF judges or their
decisions. He said this was gov
eminent founded upon the constltu-
ton. The people do not understand
the law OF reasoning and the adop-
ton OF the recall would mean the
disruption Of the government and the
destruction OF liberty and property
rights.
Al this point Mr.. Pope jumped up
and stated that he thought the com
mon people were quite intelligent In
these days. and believed they should
have the right OF recall. He said he
had requested the association to al
low speaker for the Michigan Equal
Suffrage league TO appear for ten
minutes at the afternoon session but
the right was denied. because II was
politics.
He said that in discussing the re
call the jurists were talking politicl
and they ought to taboo the subject
Justices Stone and McAlvay, OF the
supreme bench, appeared for speeches
and the latter spoke OF the trend
to tear down the old structure by
invoking the recall.
While i am not an alarmist We
find many conditions In politics al
this time similar to those which pre-
ceded the French revolution" he
said.

against the loan sharks are held up
indefinitely In the supreme court.
Others are awaiting hearing In the

The attitude OF the loan sharks was
so abJect during the progress OF those
cases that the prosecutor did not
figure that they would give any
trouble while their cases were pend

pouring In.
Many Of those who claim to have
