WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Repub-

made the subject of bitter speech in the
house today Representative 'j-arsu"tou.
a progressive Republican from Washing

Illegally deprived of the votes of that

the Taft nomination.
He reviewed the history of the Wash

HIS STAND FOR COURTS
SHOULD ADD TO TAFTS
SUPPORT--C, L. HILLES

Famed into passion. such waves Of
sentiment find expression in lynchings.
Against such waves Of sentiment an
Independent judiciary stands impreg-
nable. But subject the judiciary to
all the political influence of the recall
and no individual will have any re-
course.
1t is the Independent judiciary which
dares to say alike to the labor union,
so far shalt thou go and no farther
and to the employer Resp possibility
for this mans death rests upon your
shoulders he was your employee. and
YOU shall support his widow and chill
dren."
Il is the independent judiciary which
Gares to assert hat a given law al
though possibly beneficial in its partic-
ular application. win establish a prin-
ciple which would work tyranny in a
broader application and must, there
fore, be rejected Judges are human
and have made mistakes, but their mis-
takes have been comparatively few and.
with rare exceptions. they have been
mistakes of judgment-not the resi- Onse
to political or other improper influ
enceS
PeriIs of Recall as He Sees Them.
The recall would place the Judge at
the mercy of every gust of popular
passion Men with no training or no
special aptitude for judicial judgment
could start wave Of criticism which
would sweep the county or state, or
country. and the Judge who had rem
dered decision in exact accord with
the law would be thrown out of office
bereft of employment and disgraced in
the eyes Of his fellow men Can YOU
imagine that such conditions would
make for Justice?
The spectacle of the local political
boss exerting an undue influence over
local judges is seen too often, espe-
cially in our great cities. Can any man
in his senses regard as progress sys-
tenn which would extend these Condi-
tions to all judges in all sections on
can any thoughtful man fail to appre-
ciate that it would be the corrupt boss
and the influences behind him who
would exert the greatest influence on
the judge who was subject to recall.
Such boss is an expert in the culti-
walton of popular sentiment. Therein
rests his power Every facility is at his
disposaI-the political machinery. the
organization, considerable part of the
press, and funds almost without limit.
What chance would the poor man have
to exert an influence comparable with
that?
Had Courage To Do Right"
President Tafts course in vetOing the
Arizona bill was Characteristic He
knew. of course, that Arizona could. and
probably would, adopt the judicial re
call as soon as it became a state, and
that preteXt was at hand for refusal
to act but he knew. too. that it was
his duty not to approve a provision so
subversive of good government what
ever might come after.
He had the courage to do right. The
people Of this country love courage
That is why | maintain that the as
sumption that the voters will reject a
president of that character and put an
other in his place is an unNarranted
reflection on the intelligence and pa
triotism Of the American people
