ANSWERS Mr.. ROOSEVELT
John Wesley Hill Points to Dan.
gers of the Recall.

The Rev John Wesley HILL pastor Of
the Metropolitan Temple and president OF
the International Peace Forum, speaking
in the Brooklyn Academy OF Music yes
terday afternoon, delivered the second OF
q course Of lectures he Is giving on The
Creative Force Of our National Life" un-
der the auspices OF the Brooklyn Insti-
tute OF Arts and Sciences. His subject
yesterday was Tho Constitution: Its
Perils, Powers and Possibilities"
4 large audience was present and paid
close attention to the initiative, referen-
DUN and recall, as outlined by the speak
er. 1t was evident that Dr. Hill was re-
plying directly TO Colonel Roosevelts ad-
dress delivered last week before the Ohio
Constitutional Convention
"The independence of the judiciary is
vital 10 our free institutions" said the
speaker, but now, after more than hun,
dred years OF successful operation. It 10
proposed TO destroy the scales of justice,
TO batter down the sacred tribunal and TO
trample the spotless ermine in the mirc.
IL Is proposed TO recall the judges upon
any and every conceivable pretext, yea,
to recall the decisions of these high tri-
bunals, submitting them for final action
to the unframed and unrestrained multi
tude I'm the public square, thus transfer
ring the seat of judgment from the court
house to the market place. God save US
from such dark, ominous and direful
day as that!'''
Dr. Hill then told his audience that the
first recall OF judges set down in Chris
tian history resulted In the tragedy OF
Calvary. PLATE, he said, found no faul;
with Jesus of Nazareth and wanted to re-
lease Him, but the mob appealed from
the verdict of the court. shouting Away
with Him! Let Him be erucihed" The
fact that the majority favored that cru
oifixion neither condoned nor diminished
the hideous character of tho crime, said

Rooscvelts statement, said
"ColoneI Roosevelts statement Is such as
had expected from previous conmunica-
tions from him and statements that he has
made. II the methods suggested by Colonel
Roosevelt for the selection of delegates TO
the national convention were adopted there
is little doubt in my mind that he would be
nominated
When asked in what states the seven Gov
ernors would now undertake TO further the
nomination Of Colonel Roosevelt Governor
Badley said:
IL know one Governor who is doing all
he can to further Roosevelts interests In
each Of the several districts of Missouri

no good 10 be accomplished by such move.
Lincoln. Neb.. Feb Ex-Governor Aldrich
of Nebraska, one Of the seven governors
who signed the petition TO Colonel Roose-
welt, made the following statement to-
night:
The statement is concise and TO the
point. His announcement that he will ac-
cent the nomination If rendered TO him Is
the correct position. He could not do less
than he has done.
Roosevelt Is abreast Of modern progress
eive political thought. His desire to have
the people Of each state express by pri-
mary election their choice for President
shows his faith ir the wisdom of the peo-
pie. and in my judgment sounds the death
knen Of corrupt political machines, which
have already nominated too many men to
high Office"
Topeka, Kan, Feb. Ex-Governor W. Il

Flies In amber are not uncommon,

The piece is remarkable for It's size

dragon fly fitted about over the

thousands Of years ago. and was en-
gllfed by the resin that flowed from a

Of ages, turned to the stone that we
now call amber. Several thousand
species Of fossil insects have been
found in amber but this is one Of the
