No English king or court though
monarchical, dares to hold an act of
the English parliament unconstitu-
tional.
THE laws should be interpreted to
fit the demands and ends of justice,
rather than to have justice warped
and defeated by some old time rule
Of law.
Isn't it a little peculiar that men
who admit the people are qualified
to nominate their own judges, quail
fed to elect their own judges, most
Of them largely unknown, many Of
them wholly untried, that these
same people should not be qualified
reasonable opportunity to make
good, to pass in judgment upon him
and to wisely remove him for good
and sufficient cause when he fails to
efficiently and justly administer his
trust? When we nominate him we
pass judgment upon his qualifca
tions. when We elect him we pass in
Judgment upon his qualifications, and
that Is all that we do when We vote
to remove him
TT is almighty strange that the
sovereign citizen has his lucid in
tervals only when he nominates and
comes the part of the mob when he
criticiZes and censures the court, or
when he asks by petition to- vote to
remove the judge.
The opponents of the recall seem
most concerned with protecting the
judge. The advocates of the recall
are concerned most in protecting
Justice. When the two conflict we
must remove the Judge rather than
sacrifice justice. The judge who is
friend of the people need not be
afraid Of the people. The Judge who
distrusts the people will soon find that
the people have Just cause to distrust
him."

red st. Andrews cross spanning the
whole flag. This could be seen from
a distance and produced a startling
effect. 1t had been designed especial

opposing national flags. the stars and
stripes and the stars and bars. The
red. white and blue in each had on sew
eral battlefields caused them to be
mistaken for friendly flags. The mis-
take occurred twice at Bull Run, both
times to the advantage of the COnfed-
crates. At Dranesville on Dec. 20 both
sides were confused as to the colors
in front. The general aspect of the
new flag was weird in the extreme and
