"Now for the machinery by which these ends are to be achieved. ,Let me a the outset urge upon you toremem ber' that while machinery is important, each community has the absolute right to detirmine for Itself what that ma chinery shall be, ; subject only to the fundamental law of the nation as ex pressed in the constitution of the United States. Massachusetts has the right to have appointive; Judges who serve during good behavior, subject to removal, "not by impeachment, but by simple majority vote of the two bouses of the legislature whenever the repre sentatives of tha people feel that the needs of the people require such removal. New York has the right to have a long term elective Judiciary. ' Ohio has the right to have sort term elective Judi ciary without the recall.

If in any state the people are themselves satisfied with their present' representative Bystein, then It is, of course, their right to keep that system unchanged and It la nobody's business , but theirs. 'But In actual practice it lias been found lii very many slates tliat legislative bodies have not been responsive to the popular will. Therefore, 1 believe that the state Should provide for the possibility of di rect popular , action in order to maka good such . legislative failure, ''xtie power to invoke such direct action, both initiative and by referendum, should be provided i,ii such fashion as to prevent its being wantonly-or too frequently used. 1 do not, believe that it should be made the easy or ordinary way of taking action. In the great majority of cases It is far better that action on legislative matters should be taken by those specially delegated to perform the task; in other words, that the work should, be done by the experts chosen, to perform it But where the men thus delegated fall to perform their duty, then it should be In the power of the people themselves to perform the duty, "As to the recall, I do not believe that there la any great necessity for It as regards short term elective officers. Oh abstract grounds I was originally in clined to be hostile to It, IJtnow of one ' case where it was actually- used with 'mischievous results. On the otjier hand.

OiSetrlot4on Should Be Wade, "I believe It should be generally pro vided, but with such restrictions as would make it available only .when there is a widespread and genuine public feel ing among a majority of the voters. TThen remains the question of the re call of Judges. One of the ablest Jurists In the -United States, veteran in the service to the" people, recently wrote me as follows on this subject: There are two causes of the agitation for the recall as applied to Judges. First, the administration of Justice has withdrawn from' life and become artificial and tech nical, The recall Is not so much a re call of Judges from office 'as it is a re call of the administration of Justice back to life, so that it shall become, as it ought, to be, the most efficient of all agencies for making this earth a better place to live in. Judges have set their rules above life. Like tho Pharisees of old, they have said, "the people be ac cursed; they know not the law" (that la our rule).' - " ; r ' "I do not believe in adopting the re call save as a last resort, when It has become clearly evident that no other course will achieve the desired result But either he recall will have to be adopted, or else It wilt have to be made much easier than It now is to get rid, not merely of a bad Judge, , but of a Judge who, however virtuous, has grown so out of touch with social needs and facts that he Is unfit to longer render good service on the bench. Impeachment Not Successful. - "It is.' nonsense to say that impeach ment meetssfthe difficulty. In actual practice, we have found that impeach ment does not work. ; . , "Therefore" we 1 should be cautious about recalling the Judge, and we should be cautious about interfering "lh any way with the Judge In decisions which he 'makes In the ordinary course as be- O Hi $22.50 to ILasf Call and This Wcclc m I i 1 1 si i , n Should They Last! of these Suits are in light and medium weights, stripes and mixtures, rfiiiiii Ltir uc-wuiii iiiiuuii uic Spring and Summer months w W with1 absolute comfort; Special February Sale of Trunks, Bags and Suitcases One-Quarter Reduction on Our Entire $5000 Stock Buy Now WATER KiilS OPPOSE MIS North- Powder River Residents Hold Mass Meeting "to' Reptsjer Kick.
