TAFT AND THE RECALL. President Taft has proven himself to be a man after the heart of the "last ditchers" of the English House of Lords. His veto oj Ar'i20na.Jcw I ."'cxiOi'i Matelltmu hill is just what Would be expected from such uncom promising advocates of aristocracy as Lords of Halsey and Willoiighby Dc Broke. ' The American Judiciary has itSsVlmed a power very much like that of the House of Lords. Like the House of Lords, it has abused this power to an intolerable extent' in the interest of the privileged class. Legislation in tended to put an end to various forms of robbery and oppression has been nullified or distorted, while new op pressive measures which no legislative body would enact have been given all the force of law. To meet this situa tion, the recall is necessary just as in F.iiLl;ml it has become necessary to force legislation through Parliament, curbing the power of the lords. But in England the leaders of the aristocracy, Balfour and Lansdownc, were wise i i-ihiik.Ii tn If! thf measure abolishing the lords' veto power pass, as soon as they became ronvinced that oppo sition would only temporarily delay it. But they bad some very stupid fol lowers who could not understand that continued opposition, if temporarily successful, would in the long run bring upon the aristocracy something worse than abolition of the absolute veto. These thickheads rallied under the leadership of Lord Halsey and op posed to the "last ditch" but did not succeed in accomplishing anything. President Taft is the Lord Halsey of American aristocracy. He has been more successful than his English pro totype in temporarily delaying the ap plication of a check on the power of predatory interests. For this he will no doubt receive the applause of short sighted aristocrats. But the final re sult will surely be a more speedy ap plication of the recall to the judiciary outside of Arizona than would have been the cafe had he quietly allowed Arizona to enter the Union without interfering with her constitution. In Arizona the recall of the judiciary will certainly not he delayed more than two years. Upholders of privilege are welcome to all the comfort that Tail's veto may give Ihem. A. E. L. . AN OLD-TIME YELL. Whenever a man tries to do any thing in the interest of the masses, some one immediately yells that he is trying to destroy the country's indus tries, thai he is playing politics, etc. This has been the cry in reference to the wool and cotton bills, measures that were in the interest of the masses, and which would have been the means, if allowed to become a law, of giving the common people clothes at a reas onable price, instead of about 50 per cent more than they should he. The Orogonian, among others, is about the loudest in such assertions. A few years ago it was advocating the very measures it is now condemning, and there is more reason to favor them now than there was then, when condi- uivii, w ni-ii LUMiii- , lilt liUVH III.

Regardless of the result the passing of certain laws, though vetoed, ( will mean a good deal lor the coun try, me wcugc mai win pry congress into a position where eventually it can do the country a great service. But it takes time. A widespread railroad strike is threatened. These are frequently threatened, and will be until there is a , . , . , ., : .- i ( ., . , ...

It is certainly a great machine and an accomplishment, but it continues to be defective. Every day there is an accident somewhere, due otten to the machine itself, the brake not properly working, or some- tiling giving out. 11 may iook as 11 there cannot be improvement in mo- , tor cars, but undoubtedly there will continue tn be advancement in their mechanism. The national encampment of mem bers of the G. A. R. was held this week back east with many present, proud of their membership, and the achievements of the past.

THE LIBRARY. The Alhanv Public Library board last evening met and discussed plans for the library Dunaing, me grouuu tor wmcn has just been cleared. A conference with Miss Marvin, of the state library commission was ordered as soon as she can come here, when the style and character of the building will be agreei upon. Believing in the luture ot Alb any the board is in fav of a second story to the building for a museum and art room, even though not finished at the present time, and though making the cost more than the Carnegie appro oriation. With the basement, with its assembly room for lectures and other library accessories it would practically make a three story building, one that would be an ornament to the city. While we are getting Albany people will no doubt be glad to help tor tne future. Had the city limits been extended before t e national census the Carnegie fund alone would probably have been sutncient. News From Albany's Six Early Trains.
