In his fourth lecture ,on "some questions ; df modern goverameht, at'Yale'-today;1 Prof. Wm. ; H.': Taf t, jcharacterized the form of governmenFadvocated by the Progressives as "hair rigger" and ' leading to anarchy and a despotism of the majority." ; .Prof. Taft's state ments were made in connection with his discussion of the recall of legisla tive and administrative; officers. , He promised to discuss the recall of the -judicial decisions,, which embodies the recall of judges at a later date. ' "The objection to the recall is not that it takes away the office from the official," he said, "but that it is an ob stacle to the efficiency o government. Men do not administer government of which the recall is a part, but admin ister it so their enemies may have no opportunity to make malicious attacks upon them. Government is for the purpose of accomplishing something. Had men like Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and Madison served under the recall they would probably all have been recalled. Time has since said of them 'well done, thou good and faithful servant.'1 Such hair triger methods of govern ment are said to be progressive. They are not; instead this is retrogression; it is going backward; it is adopting a feature of government rejected years ago. . - '.. ;' ' ' ..' . "Leaders of this movement dwell upon the statement that the people have been seized with an almost re ligious zeal for cleanliness of govern ment. Aspiration for I better, things ought to be rediculed by no one; but has sin left us? Are we not all sub ject to the same weaknesses that have been recognized for six thousand years?
