Chairman of the Republican National Committee. NEW YORK. Aug. 16. - R esident Taft's defen»e of the court* entitles him to the support of every thinking man. and especially of every poor man. tn this country Mr Taft's stand in this respect has been peculiarly courage ou». be cause it has been mad* at a time when there war so much popular clamor against the court." ami when men with much political sagacity snd no scruples have been trying to sell the people ■'< sold bt i< k in the form of the recall "f judges and. ju- Hi dicial decisions. H would have been easy to be an op portunist. to go with the tide, to out- Herod Herod and attack the courts, because many good men. without stop ping to think, would have thrown up their hats for what they had been led to believe was progress. And tnat is precisely what President Taft s politi cal opponents have done. Seeking only io promote (heir personal popularity, and unembarrassed by conviction or conscientious scruple, these opponents have been quick to perceive the politi cal advantage to be gained by espous ing Instead of opposing popular clamor The opposition io the courts, which has culminated in a demand, more or less prevalent, for'a system whereby judges may he recalled, grows out of ihe assumption, too often fostered by men who know better, that In the great majority of instances the decisions of the courts are in favor of the rich cor poration and detrimental to the poor, tlie weak and the oppressed. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most Decisions Help Poor. For every judicial decision affecting and seemingly benefiting a great cor poration. which receives extensive pub licity and attracts wide attention, there are at least a hundred wjtk'h benefit the poor man. the weak and the oppressed. No one hears much of them, because they do not affect some great corpora tion or interest, and. therefore, they are not of sufficient Interest to command the attention of the press Over and over again judges have rendered decisions in direct opposition to popular clamor and which a large majority of the community regarded as indefensible, but which time has fully justified. It is tile independent Judiciary which is the chief defense of the poor and the weak against oppression. This must always be. Waves of sentiment sweep through a community, and popular im pressions, too often aided by an irre sponsible press, become convictions.

Sac 11 it. and subscribed before me tl, - lit t\ of August 1!> > ” \\ 11.1. T \ Vl.' >R. Not r\ Pit . Fanned into passion, such waves of ■•entiinent find expression in lynchings. Against such waves, of sentiment an independent judiciary stands impreg nable. But subjeci the judiciary to all the political influence of the recall ami no individual will have any re course. It is the independent judiciary which dares to say alike to the labor union, "So far shall thou go and no farther,”, and to the employer. "Responsibility tor this man's death rests upon your shoulders; he was your employee, and you shall support his widow and chil dren.” It is the independent judiciary which dares to assert that a given law. al though possibly beneficial in its partic ular application, will establish a prin ciple which would work tyranny in a broader application, and must, there fore, be rejected Judges are human and have mbde mistakes, but their mis takes have been c omparatively few and. with rare exceptions, they have been mistakes of judgment —not the'response to political or other imprope)' influ ences. Perils of Recall as He Sees Them. The recall would place the judge at Ihe mercy of every gust of popular passion. Men with no training ot no special aptitude for judicial judgment could start a wave of criticism which would sweep the county, or state, or country, and the judge who had ten dered a decision in exact accord with the law would be thrown out of office, bereft of employment and disgrac ed in the eves of his fellow men. ('an you imagine that such conditions would make, for justice? The spectacle of the local political boys exerting an undue influence over local judges is seen too often, espe cially in our great cities, Can any man in his senses regard as progress a sys tem which would extend these condi tions to all Judges in all sections? Ot can any thoughtful man fail to appre ciate that it would be the corrupt boss and the influences behind him who would exert the greatest influence on the Judge who was subject to recall'.’ Such a boss Is an expert in the culti vation of popular sentiment. Therein rests his power. Every facility is at his disposal—the political machinery, the organization, a considerable part of the press," and funds almost without limit. What chance would the poor man have I to exert an influence comparable with that ? "Had Courage To Do Right.” President Taft's course in vetoing tile Arizona bill was characteristic. He knew, of c ourse, (hat Arizona could, and probatrty would. adopt the judicial re call as soon as it became a state, and 1 that a pretext was at hand for refusal i to act. but he knew too. that it was his duty not to approve a provision so subversive of good government, what ever might come after. He had the courage to do light. The people of this country love courage That is why I maintain that the* as sumption that the voters will reject a president of that character and put an other in his place is an unwarranted reflection on the intelligence and pa triotism of the American people . AUGUST 16. 1912. SENATE REFUSES TO MAKE WOT HERS POON SUCCESSOR TO GRANT WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—The sen ate military affairs committee has vot ! ed to recommend immediate confirma tion of the following military appoint ments. made some time ago by Presi dent Taft; Clarence R Edwards, chief of the bureau of Insular affairs, to be briga dier-general in the line of the army. Colonel Frank Mclntyre, to be chief of the bureau of insular affairs, with the rank of brigadier general, during a term of four years. Colonel George Andrews, to lie adju tant general of the army, with the rank of brigadier general, for a term of four years. ''olonei Edgar Steevei. to be brig adier general.

Giant as a major general. The opposition to General Wother spoon was based, it is understood, on the ground that he had not sufficient line duty to cjuaiify him for the ap pointment.

Aug. 16.—The dif ference between the health committee of the city council and the butchers of Valdosta over inspection fees is to be settled by the creation of a modern abattoir. This decision was reached at a special meeting of council. The prop osition seems to suit the butchers. Recently the council passed an ordi nance requiring all meats to be in spected by the city inspector, the butch ers to pay the fees for same, and pre scribing rules governing the marketing of meats, etc. The butchers employed attorneys to fight the ordinance. They’ stated that they did not object to in spection of meats and markets, but thought tiie city ought to pay for the work. As a result, th/ enforcement of the ordinance was held in abeyance while the health committee investi gated the abattoir proposition. SPECIAL FOR SATURDAY V Ji WHITE PIQUE $ 1 .49 DRESSES 1 J?

Representative .'arS i-ton. a progressive Republican from Washing ton. asserted that Colonel Roosevelt was illegally deprived of the votes of that state. Mr. Warburton's speech was in answer to those of Representative Mon ’ dell and Bartholdt, of the Republican na tional committee, who recently defended the Taft nomination. He reviewed the history of the Wash , ington contests and introduced into the ’ record telegrams from various citizens of • his state who said the Roosevelt delegates had been arbitrarily kept out of the Washington state convention.
