SCORES RECALL
INITIATIVE AND
REFERENDUM
Ex-President Taft Declares
it a Complete Negation of
| the Representative System
Founded By the Forefathers.
Detroit. The initiative, referendum
j "nd recall are "a complete negation of
j the representative system established
i by the Pilgi ims and Puritans,” declar
; ed former President William H. Taft,
i in an address tonight at the annual
j dinner of the New Kngland Society of ,
| Detroit.
"The Initiative, re'erendum and re- j
j eall are a. reversion to an early type of |
| pure democracy that failed In Athens
i and Rome arid that always has failed
i where It has been given a trial in any
community except a small community
under peculiar conditions different
from ours,” continued Mr. Taft. "The
| details of legislation involve that con
| structive ability that only experts can
he cxi erted to have.
Power to Minority.
I "The Initiative gives to a small per
ventage of the electorate an oppor
tunity to compel the whole electorate
duties beyond the point where they are
willing to perform them. The conse
quence is that instead of stimulating
attention to electoral duties, the npw
nostrums tire the voters and leave
tin- government to the control of a
small minority.
'"The recall Is an institution calcu
lated to take all the courage and stif
fening out of public officials and
to make the agents of the public jelly
fish in the most constructive work en
trusted to them, in doing the business
of the people. It has the strongest ten
dency to limit the public servants to a
listless and colorless performance of
their duties In order not to arouse the
enmity of any one."

The Germans have these guns posted

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
ILL FRANK GET
APPEAL WHEN
WRIT REFUSED?
Following Refusal of Habeas
Corpus Application, Judge
Newman Takes Motion of
Condemned Man’s Counsel
For Appeal to U. S. Supreme
Court Under Advisement.
Atlanta, Ga.—Deo M. Frank, con
demned to be hanged January 22d,
next, for the murder here in April,
j 1913, of Mary Phagan, was refused a
I writ of habeas corpus by Federal
Judge Newman here Saturday. A mo
| tlon was immediately made by Frank’3
attorneys requesting an appeal from
Saturday’s decision to the United
States supreme court. Judge New
man withheld action on the motion
until Monday.
Some Confusion.
There was some confusion with re
gard to the appeal and it was at first
announced that Judge Newman had
granted it. The judge stated last
night, however, that he announced at
the close of the hearing late yesterday
that he was "inclined to grant the ap
peal." Dater it was said the federal
law enacted In 1908, requiring a fede
ral Judge granting an appeal in ha
beas corpus proceedings to issue a cer
tificate stating his opinion that there
was probable cause for an appeal, was
brought to the court’s attention in
chambers and he informed the attor
neys that he would hold his decision on
the matter in abeyance until Monday.
Tiie writ was sought on the ground
that Frank's constitutional fights were
violated in that he was "involuntarily
absent" from thq court room when the
verdict was announced.
Lost Jurisdiction.
Attorneys Henry C. Peeples and
Harry A. Alexander, on Frank's be
half, argued that the Georgia state
courts lost jurisdiction of the case
when he was denied the right to face
the jury at the culmination of his trial.
They contended that Frank Is being
deprived of his liberty under a con
viction and judgment which was ren
dered void by reason of the trial court’s
action. They argued that the question
was not one Involving state courts’
procedure, but one for the Jurisdiction
of the federal courts.
"Probable Cause for Appeal.”
Washington.—A federal law enactei
in J9OB requires that a federal judge
In granting an appeal in habeas cor
pus proceedings issue a certificate
stating that in his opinion "probable
cause for an appeal” exists.
The law rends:
"From the final decision by a court
of the United States in a proceeding
of habeas corpus where the detention
complained of is by authority or pro
cess issued out of a state court, no
appeal to the supreme court shall he
allowed unless the United States court
by which the final decision was ren
dered or a Justice of the supreme court
shall be of opinion that there exists
probable cause for an appeal, in which
event, on alldwing the same, the said
court of justice shall certify that there
is probable cause for such allowance."
Prior to 1908.
Refore 1908, such a certificate was
not required. Should a Judge not for
ward such a certificate, it was stated
Saturday that an appeal probably
would be dismissed by the supreme
court.
An appeal In the Frank case, prop
erly lodged, would not ordinarily come
up for consideration by the supreme
court for nearly two years, hut most
applications by state officials to ad
vance to habeas corpus appeals are
granted.
