MINOR DISCUSSES RECALL.
Professor Talks to Philosophical So
ciety on Some Political
- II Problems..', "a! 80

Charlottesville, Va, Jan. 5fS+P Pro-:
fessor Raleigh C. Minor, of the Law
School of the University of Virginia.
addressed the humanistic section of
the Philosophical Society Friday
night. He spoke on "Some Political
Problems"
In the course of his address Pro-
fessor Minor referred to many OF
the modern conceptions of constitu-
tional and governmental problems.
Among other points he discussed the
evils that would attend the adoption
of the recall as applied to judges. He
stated that the recall of judges was
quite different in nature and effect
from the recall as applied to admin
istrative officials. In the latter case,
the official recalled would be in prac-
tically the same position as if he
had been elected for short term
and was up for reelection. But witt
the ju:ges, he said, the matter was
quite different, chiefly because the
judges are not supposed to, and
should not, represent the will or OPT
ion of the people, but they should
represent the sober judgment OF the
people. Therefore, to make the
judges subject to the varying e!e-
ments of public opinion would strike
blow at the very basic principle o.
the foundation upon which the judi
ciary rests.

was by no means unproftably spent.

On last Friday Judge Huck dissolv-
ed the Injunction which he issued
about n year ago restraining the
City Council from ordering a local
option election here. His reasons
for granting the injunction we're that
he had had no official notice that the
county unit law had been suspe ended
in the State, and hence, if same had
not been suspended, the city and
county must vote as a unit. AS the
county unit law has now been annull-
ed, of course the injunction could not
longer stand. In fact, in our opinion,
its foundation was always rather far
fetched. Undoubtedly a local option
election will be held here sometime
within the next few months. No one
familiar at all with sentiment here
will question that the town will vote
dry by a good majority. Every cleo
ton held here during the past several
years at which the temperance ques-
ton was up, resulted in a dry victory.
The town even voted in favor OF
