A CASE FOR THE RECALL

President Taft has named Richard E. Sloan for
Federal judge in Arizona, and his confirmation is
being opposed in the Senate by progressives. The
is so remarkable that il deserves be generally
understood
There is universal protest in Arizona against
the appointment, where Sloan was Federal judge
under the territorial government. 1t is commonly
understood that Mr.. Taft has made the dstasteful
appointment in order to punish the State for putting
the recall Of judges into its fundamental law. Mr..
Taft refused to let Arizona into the Union till it
moved this provision from its constitution; but, once
n the people proceeded to restoration of the judicial
recall IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEMSELVES
AGAINST JUST SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
AS SLOAN HAD INFLICTED. Here is the Sloan
story:
negro Pullman porter assaulted a white
woman passenger on his car, was convicted before
Sloan, and sentenced to ten years in prison. The
victim sued the Pullman Company, and it offered
$25O0 in settlement; she demanded $4,000. After
the negro had served year, the supreme court or
dered him back before Judge Sloan for new trial
Sloan appointed a special prosecutor to handle the
case, and held private session on it.
On the ground that witnesses were scattered"
that "a new trial would be very expensive" and
that the criminal had already Served year, which
would be valuable lesson" the court then turned
the negro loose
All this was done in secret, private conference.
No testimony was taken When the order to free
the negro was entered, he rushed out, carried
in an auto to a waiting special train, composed Of
engine and caboose, and hurried out Of the State.
His whereabouts has not been known since.
On the face of this record, the womans case
against the Pullman Company was wrecked The
penalty for his fearful crime is by implication,
fixed at a years imprisonment.
The outrage was plainly committed in the inter
est of the Pullman Company and the railroad In
dignaton has been unbounded throughout Arizona.
But President Taft can punish Arizona for
adopting the recall of STATE JUDGES, by appoint
ing this man to a FEDERAL JUDGESHIP, whence
they cannot recall him!
That is the sort Of vndictve Administration we
live under in these days Of Taft
Will the Senate confirm Sloan's appointment? ?
1t has need to bear in mind one recent mistake of
too acquiescent confirmation: In the case Of Arch
bald. He was held up for time; his unfitness was
known; the Senate didn't like to confirm. But i,
weakly Yielded and now an impeachment proceeding
impends.
1t is safe, and it is right, to take no chances in
such matters Archibald ought not to have been con-
frmed Sloan by all means should not be.

Thinks Provision Against Another
Disaster Is the Duty Of Both
American and British Govern.
mania


To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Midst all the sensational effort to
fix the responsibility of the Titanic
disaster, stands out the conspicuous
fact, that the governments of Great
Britain and the United States are
primarily culpable and responsible. 1t
Is not possible that the officers rep
resenting the authorities of govern
ment regulation, were Ignorant of the
inadequate equipment OF lifeboats.
and that every steamship line is vio-
lating the law, not to say the unbe-
lieyable fact that this latest and
grehtest creation of human skill, was
authorized to carry $500 human be-
ings and only supply the ship with
lifeboat capacity for less than 1000?
To expect any corporation or individ-
ual to voluntarily limit speed and
equipment in the mad climbing to
distinction for the biggest and fastest
ocean liner, is mocking the very gods
of reason for no man or men will do
IT. and it's the duty of our Govern
public carriers. To condemn and try
10 make scapegoats out of human
mortals under such conditions as this
age and time impels. is simply non
sense.
All around us we see where the
safety of the public is daily manac.
ed, and yet II goes on and on until a
terrible disaster awakens us to pub
lie duty. The Government through It's
officers whether on the high seas OIL
land should see to 1t that safety al
all cost, must be the first considera-
tion. ELIJAH e. KNOTT.

Alaska Scenes Shown
In Moving Pictures

An elaborate representation of scenes
and incidents in Alaska, through the
medium of the moving picture machine,
was given at the E. B. Thompson studio,
l343 F street, this afternoon. The films,
which have never before been shown
except in private. show the end Of the
Muir glacier. with great masses of Ice
falling off; construction work on the
Copper River and Northern, the rail-
road which Thomas F. Ryan and the
Guggenheim interests have proposed to
sell to the Government. and which cost
$22, OO0, 900 for its 1Se miles of extent; the
salmon fishing industry, and scenes in
Seward.
Other scenes have to do with Con-
troller bay and the extent of the Ryan
monopoly there is shown by means of
a relief map The films are scenically
of unusual merit. and when put on the
market and exhibited will attract many
spectators, according to G.. A. Hamil-
ton, of Seattle, who is one of a syndi-
cate which owns the films and who is
here arranging for their sale.

Another Bit Of Verse on the Wreck
of the Titanic.

Out, far out, on the rolling sea,
Out where the breakers crash and
roar,
Out where the storm-wind sweeps in
glee,
Far from the lights Of the homeland
shore;
Out where the sea birds cleave the
wave
And the gloomy fogs obscure the sky,
Side by side In their ocean grave.
Peer and peasant and sailor lie.
Bravely they fought in a losing fight
Out on the waves Of the ocean blue,
Filling the boats by the torches light
Peer and peasant and sailor true.
Thrilling the tales that we hear retold
Till the eyes fash bright and the
pulses stir.
And the storm tossed sea, where the
waves are rolled,
Through endless time-is their sepul'
chez.

Let me say the poverty and semi.
poverty of the people is no fault OF
their own, their labor has produced a
wonderful amount of wealth, then
WHY are they poor. Please answer.

Just as soon as / can I'll answer

ious to know, write him at Washing

Socialists going to get possession of
the land. | believe If a theft stole
your horse you would try to capture
the thief and make him give up the
morse. II the government has robbed
you Of your inheritance, and you could
capture the government, wouldn't you
compel it to restore to you what it had
taken from YOU Certainly You would.
Your Inheritance means your share in
the land. All Bible readers under
stand that the government confscated
your inheritance, and it is her duty
to restore it, not by another confisca-
ton or robbery, but by paying a reas-
enable price for it. One advocates
c~onfiscation. Too much of that kind
Of robbery is being done daily. Con-
tscating the products Of labor is of
daily occurrence. The money spent to
maintain our army and navy would
soon pay for homes for all. Social
economy would soon remarry men to
the farm, and make us as happy a peo-
pie as ever lived. Some people say we
may give every man a home, and some
won't keep it. Probably not, but be
can't sell it because the government
will hold it in trust. See
Well, I'll give my views more fully
