THE PROPER WAY
10 RECALL DECISIONS

New York Is planning for con
yention this year to revise its con
stiution That document itself di-
F'rects that il shall be periodically re
ysed, so that it may reflect the
changing sentiment of the state.
This plan was agreed upon lon3
before any politicians began 10 taiS
Of recall Of judicial decisions and
with no intent Of reb king the court
for interpreting the writ8p do0-
>ment according TO lis provisions. New
York has pursued this policy for
decades. and when the people Of the
state have discovered that the coBsti-
tuition docs not represent their viii.
sey have amended it without waiting
for "A constitutional convention. They
have such respect FOR their courts
that when they do not like a decision
thev recall the law on which the de-
cision Is based. That IS what they
are about 10 do now. i Is a much
eaner msahod TO obtain justice and
maintain respect for law than the
Rposevetian method of submitting
intricate questions Of law TO the quick
verdict " PASSIONATE mass-mecfings.

William Church Osborn, the veal =
thy lawyer, who WAS recently elected
chairman Of the democratic commit
tee Of New Y rll state, has gained the
enmty of some adhercnts of Charles
f. Murphy, iNuss Of Tammanv Hall,
and until lately in full command of
the party throughout the state They
fear that he Is trying to ALLEVIATE
Mnrphy's upstate followers. who in
combining with him have made it
possible to control the party ma
chincry in The state.
Osborn was chosen at the instance
of Governor Glynn, who has taken Il
neutral position toward Murphy. But
he has held many conferences with
county leaders, and Tammany men
think he is making an effort to draw
them from Murphy Osborn has al
ways believed in politics of much
different kind than that practiced by
Murphy. and most of those familiar
with state politics expect to see an
open break on the first occasion.

FiIibuster Established
in Fighting Passage of
River and HarbOr Bill

WASHINGTON, July 17-Senator
Burton, of Ohio, and Senator Kenyon.
of Iowa, are leading a filibuster
against the river and harbor bill that
bids fair to defeat the bill or lead to
modification of some of the appro-
priations in 1t. Senator's predicted to-
day that If the bill got through the
Senate it's aggregate of appropriations
would be cut down from % to 40 per
cent.
When the bill was laid before the
Senate yesterday Senator Burton took
the floor again and leisurely talked
The filibuster is complete and there
is much reserve strength for it. Mo-
tions and demands for a quorum
seemed to sprind from the cloak
rooms on the Republican side and
from most unexpected sources when
ever Senator Burton showed signs of
being tired The senator has dictated
that he may not be able to conclude
his remarks before the adjournment
of the session.
Senator Kenyon has given notice
that If "the distinguished senator
from Ohio concludes before the end of
the session. he (Kenyon) will have
something to say.
Democratic senator's yesterday dis
cussed the grave situation that con-
fronts the bill. An appeal came to
the House yesterday from the engi-
neers' office Of the war department,
serving notice on senators and mem
bers that one-third of all the improve
ment now going on in rivers and har-
bors would end for want of an APP
preparation in September unless in
the meantime Congress puts through
| the river and harbor bill.
