LEAGuERs DO non WANT Tnr REoArL.

A@- II AVA 1AAS A"S 1S~EAA4A"
There has been. and 10, some difference OF opinion.
- to the destrability Of holding a-recall election for the
purpose of removing the present. members OF the indus
thai commission and installing others in. their places.
Among the Independent voters Of the state. who rolled up
nijorities of around ten thousand laA fall on every prop.
oMtion which did not involve national party question:
there has been no difference of opinion AZ to the utter
unfitness of the present officials to handle the bueinasS
entrusted to their care. These voters understand that
through the incompetent and reckless management Of the
states business credit has been impaired and the entire
business structure Of tho state has been thrown out Of
gear. Neither is there any expectation on the part OF
these voters Of the adoption of wiser and sounder meth
DDS by those now in charge. The dcsirabiity Of replacing
these mon with others Of a different type is recognized
BY all save those who remain committed to the Townley
policies and methods, and these are less numerous than
they were.
Whatever question there lis Us to the wisdom Of the
recall rests on quite different grounds. But whatever
opinion the individual may entertain In the subject on
Its real merits, it is to be remembered that the men who
Afa responsible for the shaping OF league policies are op.
posed to the recall, heart and soul.
It has been suggested occasionally that to bring
about a recall election would be to play into the hands
OF Townley and Lemke. These men DO not think 20. IN
every way IN their power they have been trying to pre-.
vent the recall. They have opposed It in their bought
ana subsidized newspaper. They have opposed II BY
means Of the circulation Of false rumors concerning 1t.
They have opposed 1t by trying to inject into the discus
Non the element OF discord. and by secretly starting
boons for individuals among the Independents for nom
nations on the ticket. This latter method has been par
iticularly tnsidious. 1t has been represented that a recall
election would bring forward 50 many candidates for
coveted positions that the contest would engender such
friction that Success would be impossible.
If the recall is just what the League managers III mt,
they have q remarkable power Of concealinE their real
desires.

JOHN BURROUGHS.

News of he death Of John Burroughs will bring a
pAnE OF regret to Thousands Of readers who have been
brought into close companionship with this patriarch Of
tho woods and fields through his written works which
have been \ source OF inspiration and delight for close to
half q century.
WAS Z great lover Of nature. The study Of nature became
to him a science through being first a labor OF love. He
studied nature spontAneously, and his love for living and
growing things. for the wild life, great and small. which
he found around him. led him to an exactness of obser-
vation and a patience In comparing facts which marks the
man of science, no matter how his training may have
been obtained. he waA as exact in his observation rs was
fabre. the great French student of insect life, and, like
Fabre, he was able to make others see with his eyes be-
cause his writings were the outpourines Of his own soul.
Burroughs resenabled Thoreau in his love for the SOL
itude Of the wilderness and in hts ability to find in the
wilderness the poetry and the drama OF a crowded and
busy life. The habits Of the wren. the antics of a pet bea-
yer, the manner in which the wild flowers responds to the
Influence OF spring. the beauty of a sunset and the majes-
ty Of . storm, were full of interest for him, and to his
power OF observation and hif sheer delight in natural
beauty he added unusual ability to present his thought in
colorful language, 80 that others might share with him
the JOY which he found in life.
It ia difficult to think Of a greater contrast than that
which existed between John Burroughs. the hermit, con-
tent to live his life buried in the woods. finding sufficient
cornpanionship in the little wild things that played around
his door. and Theodore Roosevelt. the stirring man Of af-
fairs. most thoroughly At home where human life was
most crowded. But the two had in their love Of nature a
bond Of Interest which drew them together, and each low
ID the society of the other and priced his friendship.
Another interesting friendship was that of tho nat
uralst for Thomas A. Edison and Henry Ford. In recent
years the three have been much together. each finding in
the other two something which attracted him, som ething
quite different from himself, and in some measure COM
plemeutinE his own character.
