the people and he simply acts as the
peoples trustee. Popular govern
ment can be enjoyed only by people
fitted for government. In Mex

read or write. They have no right
to vote on the initiative or referend-
UNI and recall. We are entitled to
the privileges of citizenship because
we are further advanced in civiliza-
tion.''

refutation OF that preposterous nos
trum Of the recall Of judicial decisions.
