The governor Is much impressed

Double W. until he showed the cords
which bind him.
The people have about gotten con-
troll OF the legislatures and congress
through, primaries and big business
has retreated to It's last ditch-the
courts. When the lower courts, elect
ed by the people. decide against them,
they have only TO appeal TO the SUI
preme court To get what they want.
Legislators and congressman must re-
spect public sentiment or lose their
Jobs, but that last court OF appeal sits
| far removed from that rear, since It's
| life tenure makes IL an unlimited mon
arch. IL the peoples Legislature or

cept TO arms What are the people TO
do-what will they do-when they
awake to the fact that while they
slept their liberties have been stolen
and republic transformed into an
unlimited monarchy?
Since the courts are the last fort OF
big business, the people must put
ropes on the, courts that will stop
their corruption and make them fear
TO sell the peoples cause TO trust mag
mates, This can be done through the
recall OF judges. and that is the most
crying need OF the hour.
Gov. Wilson declares that he is op-
posed TO the recall OF judges, and
doubtless J. p. Morgan and his editor
Col. Harvey, knew OF that opposition
before Harper's took up his boom. and
that made him satisfactory to big bus
mess. but il says TO the common peo
pie Let him alone"
The supreme court judges should
be elected by the people and for
term of not more than six years, and
should be subject 10 recall when they

ers by assuming to make or amend
laws made by the legislative depart
ment OF government.

THE RECALI-WHY 1T SHOULD BE APPLIED TO
ALL PUBLIC SERVANTS, INCLUDING JUDICIARY

order To be consistent-alsoo oppose
the power to elect judges in the first
instance.
Tho people OF a state or district
elect man 20 judicial position be-
cause they believe he will serve the
general welfare. They elect him in
anticipation OF good service and they
would recall him only for demon
strated bad service. The assumption
that the people would recall Judge
without reason is without justitica-
ton The American people. never act
in such way when given an oppor-
tunity to act In lawful and consid-
crate manner.
Men who profess opposition to the
recall as applied TO the judiciary for
fear judges will be improperly in
fluenced by public opinion do not
|, realize that they are offering a great
er insult to the judiciary than the
advocates of the recall could possibly
offer. Advocates of the recall have
confidence In the judiciary In general,
but they recognize the fact, demon
strated by experience, that human
frailty exists in judges as In other
men.
To assert that judges are above
corruption or improper prejudIces
and that they are always efficient pub
Tic servants is too absurd for serious
consideration.
There hangs no halo Of sanctity
around the head OF the judiciary, eX-
cent as unthinking men concede a
sacredness which the legal profession
has assumed for occupants OF the
bench
Adoption OF the recall is nothing
more than the application OF good
business principles to public affairs.
Every wise employer reserves the
right to discharge an employee when
ever the service rendered is unsatis-
factory. The right OF the employer
to discharge his employee rests on
exactly the same basis as the right
OF the employe to quit.
Consider the absurdity OF the
recognition OF the right Of public
officer to quit his position at any time
and the denial OF the right of his
employers to discharge him!
have the right and power to quit
my Office at pleasure; the people of
rly state should have equal right and
power TO discharge me from Office
whenever they believe they can be
more faithfully and effectively repre-
sented by another.
The voice OF the people should be
the law Of the land. and since the
initiative, referendum and recall
register the voice Of the people, they
are the best mediums for the estab,
lishment OF the best governmental
principles.

There Is perhaps no one In America
better qualified TO talk about the re-
call than Senator Jonathan Bourne, OF
Oregon Senator Bourne was one OF
the original advocates OF the Initiative
and referendum in Oregon; he was
largely instrumental In putting
through the Oregon |. and r amend
ment passed 10 years ago. and the re-
call amendment passed later, and he
has watched the working out OF these
measures with an eye Jealous for the
welfare OF the people at large. Today
he is as enthusiastic an advocate or
these safeguards OF the peoples rights
"a he was a decade ago. He has seen
how they work Hence the following
may be taken as pretty authoritative.

Wilson and Democracy.

To the Editor of The Times: AS
Gov Wilson seems to be the Demo
-crrt of -tt44- Democratic -Xnur- eS11ma:
ton. most eminently fitted For our
national standard-bearer, and as II Is
of paramount Importance for common
people like me, to know precisely what
he stands for, as a so-called progress
sive statesman, desire to ask Tor a
little information, with the assurance
that you. being a man or broad ex-
perience, culture and observation, can
clear away the mists which now OBJ
scure the horizon OF the common
mind. I have read extracts from his
speeches. from time to time. as they
have appeared in print, and nave
thus far failed to discover any real
positive declaration in favor OF pure
straight Democracy. | confess ! was
not a little surprised, when read
his article in The Times OF Jan. 70,
entitled The gun behind the door.
He starts out with the frank admls-
sion that he could not answer the ar
guments set forth by the advocates OF
direct legislation. and. in the very
next breath, he says this system Is not
desirable in those states where the
people have representative governs
ment. Further on, he openly afirms
his opposition TO the recall, especially
OF judges, and also, to the Initiative
and referendum as applied to the ma
IfonaI government. II Is possible that
did not read him right, but, II did
