AW0MANyO OBSERVATIONS


looks so good-natured-T always thought a really important man was kind of cross, so everybody had to be little afraid Of him. My, I believe I'd take all kinds of liberties with a man like MT. Smith, but I'd be afraid to death of Mir Jones"
 The boss stenoerapher laughed.
 You sure haven't had much eX- perience,' she commented. "I thought just as you do when l was green But let me tell you how it will work out
 First thing you know. you'll be getting mad at Mir Jones. He'll say something mean and sarcastic to you and you won't want to do a thing 10 oblige him, and you'll funk his work whenever you can.
 About that time you'll find yorr- self liking to have Mir. Smith smile over at you and reach for the buzzer that tells you you're wanted. He'll talk to you as if you were a human being on the same plane with him self, not just machine put there for Dis convenience. He doesn't think if smart to rattle of his dictation in a humble so you can't tell what he what ne says. tte SpEAhS uASllitCNis and moderately, and somehow he makes you feel that he appreciates the very best you can do. But you've got to do your best-no shirking. There was just one girl here, once, who tried to quit on Mir Smith. He gave her a whole week to learn bet ter. but she wouldn't. Then the girl went away from here.
 Why, everybody here just worships Mir. Smith, from the boss down.
 Its nice to have pleasant people in an office" sighed the new girl 'The last place I had everybody thought Of nothing but setting all the work they could out of you. and they thought they had a right to say any old mean thing to the girls. I don't see why people think they have a right to he mean to you just because you are working for them, do you?'

WILSON ON THE
 RECALL OF JUDGES.

Replying to a request from one of its readers to present Governor Will sons views on the recall of judges, The New York Times printed the fol- lowing in a recent issue.
 In his speech before tha Knife and Fork club at Kansas City on May ,, 1911, Governor Wilson said:
 Judges are not lawmakers. They are not administrators Their duty is not to determine what the law shall be, but to determine what the law is. Their independence. their sense of dignity and of freedom, is of the first consequence to the sta bility of the state, To apply to them the principle of the recall is to set up the idea that determinations of what the law is must respond to pop ular impulse and to popular judg- ment.
 It is sufficient that the people should have the power to change the law when they will. It is not neces- sary that they should directly in- huence. by threat of recall, those who merely interpret the law already es- uablished.
 In his letter to Prof R. H, Babney of the University Of Virginia. pub Iished December 26, 1911, Governor Wilson confirmed the sentiment ex- pressed above as follows: fr l'
 The recall of the judges am ab- solttely against, and always have been. It is a remedy for a symp- tom. not for a disease-the disease being the control of the system by influences which general opinion has ceased to control.
 In the same letter, moreover, Afr. Wilson declared that the initiative, referendum and recall of administra- tive officials are no general or uni versaI panacea," The exclamation point is his. He added this com ment:
 Ir interested me very much to find that even in oregon literally no one thought of these new methods Of ac- ton as a substitute for representa- tive institutions, but only as a means of a stimulation and control. They are as devoted to the idea of our representative institutions as We are and are bent upon realizing these ideas in practice. That is their com mon object
 We fear that NIT. Wilson's ideas about the new political nostrums will not please the Arizona Teformers.

AN EDITORIAL AND AN APOLOGY.
CThe Tucson Citizen)

(Tne Tucson Citizen)
 The following is taken from the Arizona Gazette of July 16th.:
 As evidence that the fight against ex-Governor Sloan's confirmation IS not political, as some would have the public believe, is shown by the following taken from the Washington City Daily Times Of recent date:
 president Taft has named Richard F. Sloan for federal judge in Arizona, and his confirmation is being op- posed in the senate by progressives. The case is so remarkable that it deserves to be generally understood.
 There is universal protest in Ari- zona against the appointment. where Sloan was federal judge under the territorial government. 1t is common ly understood that MT Taft has made the distasteful appointment m order to punish the state for putting the recall of judges into it's fundamental law. MT. Taft refused to let Ari- zona into the union till 1t removed this provision from it's constitution; bat. once in. the people proceeded to restoration of the judicial recall IN ORDER TO PROTECT T II F NJ . SELVES AGAINST JUST SUCH JU- DICIAI, PROCEDURE AS SLOAN HAD INFLICTED. Here is the Sloan story:
 A negro Pullman porter assaulted a white woman passenger on his car. was convicted before Sloan, and sen tenced to ten years in prison The victim sued the Pullman company, and it offered s2,5O0 in settlement; she demanded s25,000. After the negro had. served a year, the su- preme court ordered him back be- fore Judge Sloan for a new trial Sloan appointed a special prosecutor 10 handle the case, and held q pri- vate session on it.
 ,@On the ground that witnesses we're 'soattsTeds Ihat a new trial woeid be very exnensiye. and that the. criminal had already served one year. which would be valuable les son the court then turned the negro loose!
 ''AIl this was done in secret. pri- vate conference No testimony vas taken. When the order to free the negro was entered he was rushed out. carried in an auto to a waiting special train, composed Of engine
