"RECALL NO DISGRACE." Our attention has been directed

to a communication under the above caption in a recent issue of our con­temporary, signed by R. J. Mon­tague, in which exception is taken t« the intimation in a recent article in the Enterprise that the recalling of .a public, official jiuts a blot upon "his standing in a community, the com­munication containing a history of the origin of the recall and citing certain English and Canadian states­men who have submitted to its pro­visions.

It Is not the intention or desire of the Enterprise to enter into any per­sonal reflections dicing the present campaign, or during any campaign, aa regards the personal views of any citizen on any matter of public im­port, for we feel that the constitu­tion of these United States guaran tees to every citizen the right of free thought and the free expression thereof on such matters without danger of being run over; but we cannot but feel the communication would have carried more weight "in Virginia had it borne the signature of many another resident.

And despite the effusive disser­tation by Mr. Montague, we still maintain that our former article in regard to the Recall is strictly correct; that its application cannot but tend to place a public ollljcial under a stigma in the community; that while we still believe in the principle in extreme cases we be­lieve the Recall should be so guard­ed as to guarantee to an official ex emption from the onslaught of the agitator, and that the working out of the principle by the agitator will tend to make honorable citizenship fight shy k>f seeking positions of public service.

And from the many expressions of commendation which have reached us anent our former article we feel that the better element of Virginia citizenship holds a similar view on the question.

DULUTH voted for the recall, the initiative and referendum, but if we mistake not the recall (provisions will be safeguarded In the Duluth charter from the onslaught of the agitator.

ACCORDING to the Bear River Journal, a Socialist paper, the recall is a Socialist measure. Still there are some who would apply the prin­ciple that would not be accepted in the Socialist ranks.

"WE were elected to do certain things, ^nd we are gtoing io Ho them; annd anyone who gets in the way is liable to get run over." Nay, nay,-it was not Mrs. Pankhurst, the woman suffragist, who made this statement.

WERE one to Judge from the fre­quent reference made to Lorimer, of Illinois, by the candidates for presi­dent, he might almost believe Lori­mer waB seeking the presidential nomination. But he's not. Lorimer has but one desire—to be let alone; and inasmuch as neither congress nor Illinois will purge Itself of him he should be left alone. The less notoriety given such a man, the bet­ter for the country?

THE street sweeper followed the Monday evening rain, and Chestnut street showed up Tuesday in spring house-cleaning appearance. It ought to be kept looking just that way, and if necessary charge the expense of such work to the property-hold­ers along the street, the same as in the case of the street sprinkling as­sessment. In fact, we believe should the street be thoroughly cleaned each night It would add more to appearances and do away with more dirt than does the water wagon.

WHILE municipal ownership of light and water plants, coal yards and printing offices may be the proper thing and the most impor­tant thing up for present consider­ation, we believe the enlargement of the main sewer system or the rem­edying of the existing system in such manner as to avoid the overflow of basements in the sewer district fol­lowing every heavy rain is worthy of attention by the city council. The strict enforcement of the ordinance against storm sewers emptying into the sanitary sewer system, which has been before the council on pre­vious occasions, might help the slt-

- uatlon somewhat

CELEBRATE NORWAY'S INDE­PENDENCE.

A 17th of May Folkfest will be held at the United Norwegian Luth­eran church under the auspices of the Young People's society. At that time the Norwegians wil meet to re­joice with their kinsmen across the seas in celebrating the anniversary of Norway's independence. An ap­propriate program will be rendered and refreshments served during the evening. The Folkfest will be held at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Thus Far Colonel Roosevelt lesdi Taft in the Number of Delegates by Nine—Several States Yet to Hear frrtiyi With Chsnros la FX* vor of the Former President.

Out of the 37 staets which have held Republican conventions or pri­maries, including Hawaii and the Philippines, Former President Roosevelt is in the lead over Taft by nine, according to figures receiv ed by the Enterprise today. There are still 14 states to Hear from and it looks now as though Colonel Roosevelt will go to the Chicago convention with the larger number of delegates in his favor. There are 136 contesting delegates and 34 un-instructed, these latter coming from Connecticut, Delaware, Massachu­setts, Michigan, Missouri, South Car­olina, Vermont and Virginia. Wis­consin with 26 delegates and North Dakota with 10 delegatea have been instructed for La (FoUette. Iowa gives Cummins 10 delegates out of its 26.

It is likely that the La .Follette and Cummins delegates will go over to Roosevelt rather than for Taft if it is seen that there is no possible chance for either of the former can­didates. It remains then to be seen what will become of the 170 con­testing delegates and unlnstructed delegates. It appears from advices that the contesting delegates are against Taft and* the unlnstructed divided about equally between the latter and the Colonel.

If Roosevelt can hold his own in the states which have not as yet held convention he will in all prob­ability be the next nominee of the Republican party. He*has every­thing in his favor at the present time and the Taft element seems to be losing ground.

If it is found that Teddy cannot carry the Chicago convention it Is likely that the Progressives will marshall their forces and give the nomination to some one besides Taft, with odds in favor of "Little Bob" from Wisconsin. It is not be­ing thought of for a moment that the Progressives will join the Taft forces, as the former are of the opinion that if Taft is nominated he will go down in defeat at the polls by the nominee of the Demo­cratic party.

BANKING REFORM. The bulwark of our American

banking system is the independent bank, owned and managed by trusted men of affairs in the community it serves. Every bank is an integral part of the business life of its com­munity.

Any proposal for banking reform which did not preserve this inde­pendence would be repugnaffl to our American banking traditions. Wl\ile we rffcognize the great service per formed in Canada and other coun tries by the branch banking system, our people would vigorously oppose a system which would be the means of centralizing banking power by chains of centrally owned banks stretching across the country.

The opposition to a great central bank, like the Bank of England is even stronger than the opposition to branch banks; although, again, it is not to be denied that central banks have proved signaly effective in up holding the credit of the nations of Europe.

We have now before the country a proposal for a co-operative bank ing system—free from the features of branch banking and central bank ing objectionablcr to American dem ocratic ideals—the head of which is to be a co-operative association owned by all the banks of the coun try.

The thousands of smaller banks throughout the country are asking, "What benefit will we and ouf~ com­munities derive from a national re­serve association?" This question is answered in a pamphlet published by the National Citizens' League Among the advantages cited are:

Insurance against money panics like that of 1907.

Lower interest rates in sections of the country away from the financial oenters.

Narrower fluctuations in Interest rates.

The attraction of Investment cap­ital from the highly developed sec­tions to the newer, growing sections needing foreign capital

The financing of the yearly move­ment of the crops at less cost and with less disturbance to the money market.

More Independence for smaller banks.

Economy in the use of cash in the daily business of the country.

Assurance that a sound bank will always be able to take care of the legitimate needs of its customers.

The promotion of aound htmHng practices.
