Yes or No?' If majority of the voters
vote in the negative the Judge is re-
jected and the chief justice appoints
someone else to fill the vacancy.
The plan overcomes one of the chief
evils of the present system. No reason
can be shown why a judge who is salts
factory should be compelled to submit to
a competitive race to retain his posi-
ton. Whether appointed or elected, the
sole question to be submitted to the cleo
torate at the expiration of his term is,
shall John Doe, who has served con-
tinuously as judge years be retained ;
answer yes or no." Then, after being
retained for two or three terms by the
express consent of the voters, the judge
is to be continued in office till the age
of retirement without further elections
This plan gives the people the right to
recall a Judge who Is unsa tisfactory but
until he is recalled there is no vacancy

MCPHERSON anderson. captain and
shortstop of the Montana State Uni
versity baseball team, and for the
past three years one of the most
feared suggers in northwest inter-
collegiate ball, has been offered a con-
tract by Manager Nick Williams of
the Spokane Northwestern league
team. Sanderson was recommended to
Spokane by Frank Jones of Missoula,
who has officiated in several games in
which the big Bruin s1ugger partici-

slugger, but is also a versatile in
fielder, as he has played three infield
positions on the Montana team, with
marked success. In 1915, Sandy played
second base for the Bruins. and fin

SPANS NEUTRALITY
DEFENDED BY MAURA
Morocco and Gibraltar Stand
in Road.

Paris, April 3o.-Telegraphing from
Madrid, the correspondent of the
Havas agency says the speech of for
mer Premier Maura. leader of the
Spanish conservative party, i'm which
lie defended SPANS neutrality and
criticized adversely the policy of
Count Romanones and of former Pre-
mer Dato and the present government
with regard to Spain's foreign affairs
program, has been widely commented
on because of his unexpected decla-
rations. Dealing with Spain's atti-
tudc toward the bclligercnt groups,
Senior Maura said
Spain naturally belongs to the
western group of European nations
and particularly to England and
France and yet the Straits of Gibral-
tar embodics the beginning and the
an encroachment OF the rights of
Spanish sovereignty by England,
which does not give us sovereignty in
the waters of our coast.
Another example is Morocco.
France wanted to appropriate it when
we were still burdened with the dis
astcr of the Spanish American war.
The first sign of a real change of
Franco British policy toward Spain
would be the suppression OF the two
tigmas-Tancicr and Gibraltar"
Senior Maura said Spain was being
mcnaccd with economic hostility after
the war in order to bring her into the
hostilitics. but he insisted that the
country was too proud and too great
to be tn" servant OF any country.
