Tho Blue Ridge Recall


The people of the B ue Ridge Noun
tains in Southern Virginia have Just
carried out a singularly Elective recall
both of ju ige and his decision, and
incidentally also Of the Prosecuting At
torney, the CLERK of the court, the
Sheriff, and perhaps some of the jury.
One of the mountaiDeers was on trial
for an offence the nature of which is
not disclosed The judge before whom
he was arraigned proved reactionary,
lacking sympathetic insight into mod
ern conditions of life among the noun
taineers He was in the act of indicat-
ing sentence of one year when the re

naturally was not executed, the pris-

Although this recall both of the judge
and the decision was accomplished with
extra-legal haste, what advocate of pop

bunals will object to haste? Moreover,
there are several considerations in its
favor 1t was affected without the cost
to the state of general election and

to those who descended from the Blue

may seem to persons with old fashioned
notions about the courts, it will proba-

upon their independence that some
opponents predict of the less sanguin-
ary kind of recall. Brave men will

 Beautiful Golden Gate Park.
 Golden Gate park is eight blocks in width. It faces upon the Pacific ocean and runs back into the heart of San acres in the west end of the park will be utilized for exposition purposes. The park today presents one of the most notable achievements in landscape gar dening in the world. Roses bloom the year round. and palms and pines, exotic plants, lakes and little lagoons present an ideal setting for the permanent structures of the exposition which will be located here. Among the buildings now planned are great concrete coli scum. which will be built around an ex- isting stadium and will have a seating capacity of 75000. A huge marble art gallery, a museum and an aquarium will be among other features. A work ing model of the Panama canal will connect chains of lakes that are at diff ferent levels Hawaiian water gardens, Chinese, Japanese and Philippine gar dens portraying many features of plant cultivation which have been known in the orient for thousands of years, par ticularly in China. but which are strange indeed to occidenta1s will per init the visitor to gain, probably for the hrst time. conception of one of

From this i point the visitor will be enabled to go leither out Market street to the civic l center or else proceed along the water 1 front directly to the HarbOr View site,
