The Recall of the Judiciary

Some two or three decades back,
the Populist Party was advocating
government ownership of the rail-
roads, telegraphs, and other public
utilities Their proposition was gem
orally treated with derision, and
never accorded the courtesy of re-
spectful hearing. How times do
change Here is President Taft rec
ommending a government built rail-
road for Alaska, and his postmaster
general, government ownership for
the telegraph lines.
The reasons for this policy today
are no different than those advanced
by the Populists of old. The change
is almost entirely in the public opin-
ion of the country. The people have
had time to think the matter over,
consider it apart from party politics,
and apply common sense. Hence gov
eminent ownership is no longer radi-
cal, but respectfully progressive.
So it is with every new proposition.
That which We have not considered
with care is radical. Ignorance and
prejudice go hand in hand. A case
in point is the judicial recall now a
bone of contention in political circles.
Very few of our citizens have looked
into the matter at all. Those of us
who have almost shudder at the
thought of anything so radical. So
strong is this prejudice that. We have
difficulty in conceding the possibility
of any rational affirmative argument.
Hence the prevalent feeling that the
High School boys got raw deal in
the debate with Waterville last Fri
day night The affirmative arguments
failed to appeal to the audience,
while those in the negative did. To
the open minded judges however, who
were working on a mathematical ba-
sis, the preponderance of argument
was decidedly with the affirmative.
Yet the Skowhegan boys had had the
advantage of all the negative argu-
ments set forth by the alleged states
men of today. Must be there is some
merit in this judicial recall after all.

$1,00O,000 Fire In Halifax, n. s.
February |.

Fire destroyed the Woodside plant
of the Acadia Sugar Refining company
in Halifax, n. s., entailing loss esti-
mated at more than $1,000,000, One
man, an employee, was missing and is
believed to have been burned to death
The fire started in a large wooden
warehouse ON the water front where
10000 barrels of sugar were stored.
The flames made short work of this
structure and shot across the railway
tracks to the seven story brick build
ing of the refinery proper, The spread
of the blaze in this structure was so
rapid that some of the workmen had
difficulty in escaping with their lives
and one Of their number, a man named
Henneberry, is missing and is believed
to have persisted

MESSAGE CIV ALASEx.
President Sends Communicates to
Congress-.

President Taft, Friday, sent to Con-
gress his promised message on Alas
ka and the public domain In general.
In urging the construction of a gov
ernmenti railroad, commission form
of government and Other NEEDED legisr
lation for. the far-away territory.
President TAFT declared there was
nothing in. the history of the United
son for criticism as the failure of the
federal government to extend the
benefit of its fostering care to Alaska.
Il am not in favor Of government
ownership where the same certainty
and efficiency of service can be. had
by private enterprise said the Presi-
dent, but | think the conditions pre-
scented in Alaska areeof such charac~
ter as to warrant the government, for
the purpose of encouraging the deyel-
opment of that vast and remarkable,
territory, to build and own a trunk,
line railroad which it can lease on
terms which may be. varied and.
changed to meet the growing prosper
ity and development of the territory"
President Taft said there was little
likelihood that the Morgan-Guggen-
helm interests would open up a rail-
road under the present conditions in
Alaska.
The President would have a COM
mission form of government for Alas
ka, one-half of the commission to be
elected and the other half appointed
by the President.
A leasing system was proposed by
the President for government coal and
phosphate lands in Alaska. as we'll as
in the United States.
The reclamation laws of the United
States should be modified in the opfn4
ion of the President so that home
slender might be granted a patent at
the end of five years of cultivation and |
three years of occupation.

President George C. Chase of Bates
college fayors the establishment of
woman's college in Maine, although he
is at the head of a co-educational in
stitution President Chase has been
consulted BY those who have been
most active in promoting the plan and
so far as it is possible for him to give
his time, they will doubtless have his
hearty cooperation. He said that
Bates college could not accommodate
a third of the women students who
make application for admission.
