BAR DENoUNcEs THE RECALL.
New York Association Urges Movement
to Check Growing Sentiment.

/ New York, April l5.+That there is a
growing sentiment in favor of the re-
cali of judges and of judicial decisions
by popular vote was the opinion ex.
pressed at a special meeting Of the
New York State bar association in Al
tany Saturday, when resolutions were
adopted condemning such a system An
other resolution offered by ex.Justice d..
Cady Herrick, and seconded by Alton r..
Parker, former chief Judge % the court
of appeals, was approved, empowering
committee to investigate the causes
OF this movement and If necessary,
recommend a remedy to check it. The
meeting was unanimous in its opposi-
ton to the recall, a.,t there was a diff
ference of opinion as to the expediency
OF taking final action at present and
on the question of making specific pro-
vision for an inquiry into the reasons
for the demand for the recall.
The resolution condemning the recall
was offered by William b. Hornbower

upon the supreme court of the United
States and the court Of appeals of New
York state by great leader of men.
After the adoption of Mr. Hornblower's
resolution. ex-Justice Herrick addressed
the meeting. He said he believed the
association should not close its eyes to
the fact that the sentiment for the re-
call is growing. He pointed out the
result of the primary elections in Iii
nois and Maine as an illustration of
such conditions. On his motion the CON-
mittee provided for in the recall reso-
luton was directed to make the iuvesti-
cation.

The roads are so bad in the town OF
Orange that the children are being trans
ported to and from school in the regular
barge drawn by oxen. In these automo-
bile days that revival of the primitive
experiences of the distant past might be
worth going hundred miles to See
Boston Transcript,
The above reference is to the town OF
that name in Massachusetts; and it sug-
gests that besides affording an oppor-
tunity to see primitive conditions as to
the nature of the vehicle used in trans
porting children to school, it offers u
powerful illustration of backwardness
in road building which Massachusetts,
probably is not pleased to admit. Yer
mont has similar roads and is not proud
of them, while at the same time YER
mont is trying to remedy the bad con-
ditions.

There is this to be said in favor OF the
early opening of the brook trout season
in Vermont on April Is; the weather
conditions are such as to discourage any
concerted raid on the streams of the
state, while the water conditions are not
conducive to a very large measure Of sue
cess. Therefore, it may be possible to
reduce the careless slaughter of the trout
which would follow on the later opening
days, when the fish would be biting
eagerly and the fishermen would be anx-
ious to make killing as far as the
law allows, to enable them to spin their
yarns afterwards. A great deal of the
enjoyment of trout fishing is the chance
to tell about it afterwards; but there
won't be many stories of success told
in northern Vermont waters after to-
days experiences.
