VOTE FOR THE PARISH
RECALL.

The fact that it is No. II, the
last Oh the list, makes it extreme
~ easy for voters III the election
of Nov. 3 to pick ont. and voJo
for the amendment providing for
the recall of public officials. /,
is one of the most meritorius III
the list.
To the amendment no rational
objection can be raised. The re
call in the West has in some III
stances been grossly abused.
Where an official can be pro
ceeded against as soon as ne
takes his office and then harrasser:
with recall elections throughout
his term, the recall becomes Il
nuisance IN inciter Of political
strife and an impediment to ord
erIv government.
Where rnder these cOndltl"'"' )
the judiciary also is made s"n-
.c,t % the aw. there is rhe 4 ~
ger that public clamor vii! he
substituted for calm reason In
the administration of both civil
and criminal Justice.
None of these defects is. how
ever. to he found in the proposed
Louisiana amendment.
Judges are not to be liable to
recall.
No public official is to be sub
ject to removal until ne has
served one year. No recall elec-
ton is to be held ea,iier than
three months after the necessary
number of electors has petI-
toned for Il.
If in the election a majority
vote in the negative then such
officer is not again to be dis
turbed during his term of office.
No election shall be called I'M
less 25 per cent Of the registered
vote at the time of his election
shall petition therefor.
It will thus be seen that the
power is taken away from the Dc
feated element in any election IT,
attack a successful candidate
when partisan feeling has not yet
subsidized. Campaign rancer usual
ly is allayed within a year ant!
an official in that time has annie
opportunity to prove his eff
cheney.
The amendment does not per-
NIT small minority Of the elec
torate to seek the dismissal of AL
official. Eighty per cent of .the
registration is considered a very
fine vote in any election. An off.
cial's laXities mrst he considered
serious when TWENTY-FIVE per cent
Of the whole eligible electorate
is willing to sign a petition from
his dismissal. In New Orleans
that would call for approximate
lv 10000 signatures and public
sentiment would have to be con
siderablv aroused against an Of
fetal before petition Of this mag
nitude could be obtained against
HIM.
II the amendment is adopted,
we doubt if verv often it will hc
availed Of by the people. But it
will have an excellent influence
on public service. 1t will tend to
make public officials strive more
earnestly to deserve the good
opinion Of their constituencies
and thew can best do so bv faith
ful discharge of their obligations.
The recall amendment was sub
mitted two wears ago but defeated
in the confusion which resulted
from a badly complicated ballot.
This year the ballot will be 50
printed that voters will have M
great difficulty in registering
their will and since this amend
ment has been most convenient
~ placed and rigid laws have
been passed to punish any false
return Of the count there is 10
reason why the result Of two
years ago cannot be decisivcly
reversed.-N. 0. States.

DIED FOR THE FATHERLAND
Is Epitaph on Trench of
Dead

New York.-"German fear God and
nothing else"
This was the epitaph printed and
tackled ON a board at the head of a
long trench of German dead, which
was read on the battlefield at Saar-
burg by Gustav Voelker of Brooklyn.
Voelker. who is an American citizen,
and who was visiting relatives in
Alsace-Lorrsine at the outbreak of the
war was a passenger aboard the Hol-
land America line steamship Ryndam,
in port today from Rotterdam.
Many of those killed in battle were
unburied when my cousin, Lieutenant
Oscar Jung of the flying corps, took
me over the battlefield in an auto"
said Voelker. THE Germans had
fought the French under overwhelm-
ing odds and had beaten them. Those
of the fatherland who fell-and they
were many-had only this stern cpl
taph to mark their grave"

Method to Intercept Message
Without Use of Batteries.

FlOrence.-Father Alfani, director
of the Florence observatory, said re.
Gently he thought that the invention
of the priest Domenico Argentieri of

teries was scientifically sound
Father Alfani related that after the
declaration of war the Italian govern
ment forced all private wireless sta
tions, including that of the Florence
observatory, to discontinue operations.
The next day Father Alfani obtained
from Father Argentieri copies Of Off
cial wireless messages which the
priest had been able to intercept with
out a wireless installation.
There are many ways to do this,
Father Alfaui explained One of the
most simple was the very elemental
expedient of sticking two steel needles
into a potato.
