MAY 28. 1913. waking tho dead, what docsT Sa-B tho Journal under tho cap tion "Rend Ulattcr Goto day:" "Tho llcnd Blatter grows face tious because a small Item in tho Journal was not played up accord ing to that paper's notion of hot air publicity. Wo havo no desire, whatsoever, to supplant tho Blat ter man as head of tho Ananias di vision." Dear, dear! Wo should bo dreadfully cast down after such a witty and Intelligent castlgutlon. But somehow wo nron't, Perhaps that'B because wo'ro getting callous since Judgo Springer has been writing unkind things about us. Of course wo never roalixod that the Journal considered tho Prluovillo railroad news ns untrue. In our In nocent Iguornnco wo supposed that it was n real railroad and that Journal readers would like to know all about It. Hut we wouldn't for a mtnuto wish tho Journal to give anything but a modest local mention to a lie. Per ish tho thought! And yet, somehow, wo feel that almost everyone in Prlnovllle except Editor Orny has faith In that railroad. ; THE nECALL, Thorccall In Oregon may bo in voked against any offlclal after ho has' been in ofilco six months. Tho careful and Infrequent use that hss been mado by tho people of this new power Illustrates in a great measure tho respect with which they regard It and. tho saneness with which they Intend to exercise it. It is comparatively easy to start recall proceedings, and yet extremely few are Inaugurated. But the pcoplo should fully ronl- Ixo their power. Used wisely, tho re call is their most efficient weapon; used Injudiciously, It can mako a travesty of popular democracy in stead of adding to its dignity. At all times consideration of their political privileges Is a wise exorcise for voters; just now, consideration of their political powers Is a spec ially Important function for the vot ers of Crook county. It is becoming daily more appar that through a political accident Crook county has chosen one of its principal officers unwisely. Tho question of recalling him Is now one that has forged far beyond a mere matter of personal discussion; it Is today easily the most generally con sidered question In the county. In considering tho recall one should understand that It Is not In any way essential that some flagrant lapse he uneartivod regarding tho offlclal AagolnBt whom It Is sug gested. It is not necessary that the official be discovered to havo acted crooKeuiy. or 10 navo comraiuea some definite act which clearly brands him as unlit for office. Such, of course, by Itself, would settle tho matter. Hut In tho broad, common sense application of the recall power. It Is simply necessary for tho people to bo convinced that tho official In question Is unfit for office through general characteristics, without con crete acts of malfeasance In office be ing unearthed. In a nutshell,, then, the question that Is holding the attention of Crook county today Is: Shall Judgo Springer be recalled? Thus far Mr. Springer perhaps hag dona nothing specifically wrong, at least so far as his office is concerned. The question which the voters may have to deolde Is as to whether or not Mr. Springer, Judged by tho somewhat spectacular performances of his brief official career, is fit to hold office for three and a half years longer. Ills have been chiefly ulna of omission, not commission. If the majority of the voters decide that his demonstrated caliber and ability ore such to recommend him for an Important share In the conduct of the county for more than three vital years, well nd good. If not, It will be demonstrated, perhaps, that the voters of the county have the good senso to realize that It Is safer and wiser to place one beyond the possi bility of doing damage, beforo it is too late, much as a mildly insane pqmm is sometimes put in a straight Jacket before he becomes violent. BEINCJ ABLE TO SWIM. Tho following Is reprinted from Tho Bulletin of April 23: "Tho solution lies in making them nblo to caro for themselves on tho water or In tho water. All chil dren, girls ns well as boys, should be taught to swim. Ability to swim should be tho prerequisite to any boating or canoeing and al though much ma) Ikj learned in the way of proper handling of boat or 'canoe, tho parent who assures himself that his child Is at homo in the water may feel that he is safe on the water."
