Show M THEY ARE NOT INSANE. H v- , The Salt Lake Herald makes this attack ou the recall. H k "Many persons apparently bolieve that th$ proposition for re- H call of judges is a new species of insanity, but nothing could be H further from tho truth. The idea is just 107 years old this year niul. H while it has not improved with ,age, it seems nearer success than it M f I lias ever been. lu 1804 a resolution was introduced in the United H States sonato providing for the recall of federal judges but it went H over until tho next session of the senato and then goTitly died with- M out mourners." H What a position of superiority tho Herald assumes those who H do not acoopt its ideas of government and have original plans are B crazy! That is tho poorest argument that possibly could be pre- ( senled. No great body of tlie people is insane or bordering on m- m sanity. Lately tho citizeus of California voted for the recall of U judges by the largest majority ever givon a proposed amendment H to tho constitution of that state. Other states have adopted the H recall and tho movement for better control of the judiciary is grow- U ing and promises to extend to all parts of the United States. This U , popular demand for reform cannot be checked by attempting to belittle those who arc back of the reformation. |
