IL is well that the New York bar is organizing to defend the independence of the judiciary and the principles Of rights and justice. Both would be not merely imperiIed but destroj. ed by the adoption of the recall of judges and the reversal Of judicial de- cisiOns hy popular vote. The dema- gogues who are preaching the doctrine Of the recall. know of course. that no judge could write an opinion with an independent and impartial mind if he stood in fear of losing his office through displeasing the crowd. The workings would be that men of cour- age and independence, that is the very fittest men for the judicial sta tion would refuse to so on the bench.
 The members of the bar who are organizing to fight these dangerous delusions have very widely pointed out that the recall and the reversal Of decisions might work in more ways than one.
