Alfonso's New Ambition Said to Be Based on Theory That Anarchy Will Wreck Little Neighbor. PAHdS, March 8. (Special.) In con nection with the news of a deadlock in tho Franco-Spanish Moroccan ncKO tlatlons, a stranee rumor is circulated in French diplomatic circles. It is that Spain is contemplating Intervening in Portugal and finally annexing the smaller nation. Some of the thoughtful students of diplomacy believe that this is the only plausible explanation of the doirtred obstinacy with Which Spain is holdinK out in tho negotiations with France on tho Moroccan question. Spain's attitude Is said to be based on the theory that the .-ituation in Portugal will soon be an impcssiblo one. It Is said that already well dressed persons cannot appear on the streets without being insulted by a mob. Anarchy, it la declared, is in creasing daily and intervention will be soon necessary. Spain, to keep other powers from in terfering, will step in and manage af fairi. With that end in view, it will withdraw Its troops from Morocco and use thorn In a neighboring state; then it Is expected that the Portuguese re Xiubllc will fade Into history.

The luxury of canoeing on the Willametto or enjoying an excursion into the hills on school days are things of tho past at Oregon Agricultural Col lege since the adoption of the new rules relative to class attendance, which were distributed yesterday. The new regulations carry a self-inlllctiiig pen alty which counts all absences as zero and whereby any student who cuts 10 per cent of the recitation or laboratory periods in the course forfeits the right to take the examination and receive credit in that course. These rules will, it Is believed, solvo the vexing problems of dealing justly with all cases of absence because they do away with the acceptance of ex cuses at the discretion of instructors.

TAFT REPLIES TO COLUMBUS SPEECH Recall of Decisions Idea Is Scored. LAW WOULD BE INCONSTANT Rule of "Special Instances" Worst Form of Tyranny. TRUE FREEDOM MENACED Roosevelt ProjMisal Denounced by President as "Utterly Without .Merit or Utility" Seeds .of Confusion Sown. , TOLEDO. O., March 8. President Toft, in an address here tonight on "The Judiciary and Progress," de clared that the proposal, recently ad vocated, for the recall of judicial de cisions by tho vote of the people to ho "utterly without merit or utility and instead of being progressive, is reac-tionars-." The President made no direct refer ence to ex-President Roosevelt or to tho Colonel's speech at Columbus be fore the Ohio constitut' nal conven tion, but referred briefly to tho many policies put forward by the Colonel in that address. Our (Government Is llent. President Taft said in part:. "In the last year or two we have heard much of - radical methods of changing the judiciary system. If we would properly consider these propo sals and stand on solid and safe ground, we must re-examine the fun damental principles of stable popular government. ' Tho history of the world seems to show that our form of government is more enduring and sat isfactory than any other. "it was long ago recognized that the direct action of a temporary majority of the existing electorate must be lim ited by fundamental law; that is, by. a constitution intended to protect the individual and the minority of the elec torate and the nonvoting majority of the people against the unjust or arbi trary action- of the majority of the electorate. Cheeks and Balances Provided. "Then, to protect against the mo mentary impulse of a temporary ma jority of the electorate to change the fundamental law and deprive the indl-' vidual or the voting minority or the non-voting majority of inalienable rights, the Constitution provides checks and balances whereby every amend ment to the Constitution must be adopted. "These checks and balances include the division of the Government into thre independent branches the legis lative, the executive and the judiciary and the provisions by which usurpa tion by one of the functions of another is forbidden. "The judiciary, w hether appointed or elected, the moment they assume their duties, must enforce the law as they find it. They must not only interpret and enforce various enactments of the Legislature according to its intention, but when the Legislature in its enact ments has transgressed the limitations set upon its power in the Constitution, the judicial branch of the Government 1 must" enforce the fundamental and higher law by annulling and declaring invalid the offending legislative enact ment. Then" the judges are to decide between individuals on principles of right and justice." Courts Must Avoid Favor. "As between the individual and tha state, as between the majority and the minority, as between the powerful and the weak, financially, socially, politi cally, courts must hold an even hand and give judgment without fear ot favor. "I concede that the system is not per fect or as good as it can and ought to be made. 1 have been preaching for reform, especially in the. enforcement of tiie criminal law. for years. Tho defects in our judiciary have not been in the corruption of tho judges, but mainly in the procedure and in tho helplessness of the judges in jury cases to assist in reaching right con clusions. The popular impulse has been to take away the power from tho judges and to give it all to the jury, and this has not been for the public good in the enforcement of the crimi nal law. "But these humdrum defects and their tedious remedies are not of the spectacular character to call for politi cal "discussion or to attract effort from politicians in the passage of remedial legislation. The formidable attack upon our judiciary now is tliat the judges do not respond sufficiently to popular de mand. It is said that courts are inter posing their obstructive power to the enforcement of legislation looking to the relief of the oppressed by declar ing laws unconstitutional and by so called judicial legislation interpreting into statutes words not intended by the Legislature. Two Proposals F.xumineri. "How is it proposed to remedy these wrongs? In one of two ways, either by tho judicial recall or by the recall (Concluded on l'as 0.)
