The Parma herald. (Parma, Idaho) 1903-1917, 1912-03-28

, have re-read today the speech {
Senator Borah delivered in th
senate OF the United States Aug
ust z, 1911, in regard to the RI
call of judges when the bill 70
the admission OF New Mckee
and Arizona was under discus
sion. In opposing the recall 0
Judges he quotes from Mr.. Roose
velt's speech to the people of Ari
IONA in opposition TO the recall
and in his closing argument
he says;
J Let US not impeach the saneness
and the worth Of our great cause by
challenging the great and incis-
penmoie principle of an independ-
! ept judiciary. Let us not mislead
/ the p ople into u . belief that their
| interests or their welfare lies In the
| direction Of Justice tempered with
| popular opinion. Let us moi draw
| these tribunals, before which must
| come the rich and the poor. the
| great and the small, the powerful
and the weak, closer, even still
closer, than now, to the passions
and turmoila Of politics. Let ns
cling TO this principle OF an indie
pendent judiciary As Of old they
would cling 70 the horns OF the
altar"
Mr. Roosevelt has let go Of the
idea that Judges should not be
recalled, and Mr.. Borah must let
go OF the horns OF the altar in
order to give him conscientious
support at this time.
Mr.. Roosevelt is making his
great stand for a third term on
the recall Of judicial decisions,
Mr.. Borah says he will not stand
for the limited judicial recall, or
any other judicial recall. Yet he
must do both in order to stand
for Roosevelt.
In summing up, we can't find
a single reason for Senator Bor-
ah being in accord with Mr..
Roosevelt.
Some OF our republican friends
may think we are somewhat bit
ter against Senator Borah for
the stand he has taken for
Roosevelt. We are, and we are
going to take you into our con-
idence and tell you why.
Ordinarily it makes no differ
snce TO US whom q republican
in his own party. Wei
IRE democratic, but not to the |
extent that we can see no good |
,ome out of Nazareth. 0ccas
onally we find a republican
whom we think is trying to do
lis duty to his people, and when
We do we are willing to keep him
a office. Until we read that tele-
ram we thought we had such a
IAN in Senator Borah and in
ended to give him our support
)r 10 election regardless of poll
les. lU's bad enough to be mis-
AIKEN in "a man OF your own po- ]
teal faith, but it's almost crim-
Ial TO be mistaken in one of any
Their. We are always sorer
hen we have ito kick ourseIf
IAN when we can kick the other
How, no matter how the bout
.rmlnates. Therefore we are
OF enjoying the Borah- Roose- !
ell combine.
MIR. Roosevelt has done more (.
o harass the people and cripple
he resources of the West than .
my other living being. We be-
eve that the present stagnation
a business, and the emigration
1 thousands of oui best citizens
o Canada, is direct result of
rs administration. We believe
'enator Borah loves his state
nd her people, and we would |
lsk him in all sincerity: Why
re yon now endeavoring to mar
he record of the best years OF
our lie; why are YOU pressings
he viper to the bosom of your
queen?
