likely to be an unfavorable one.

No merchant cares to employ a clerk
whose breath is foul to walt on his

Many a person making an applica-

by a prospective employer on account

proves so -disagreeable to other per

superior court.
Whether the mayor and common
eoancil of San Jose exceeded their au-
thority when they sold the franchise
to Burke for $11,000; whether the pro-
ceedings leading up to the sale were
legal; whether the San Jose railway
company has forfeited its rights in the
80 year franchise granted to Jacob
Rich, the builder of the road in 1890
these are some more knotty problems
that will be presented to the court
when the suit of j. M. Pitman, a prom
inent citizen of San Jose. acting in
the name of the state, against l.. Il.
Hanchett, is brought to trial.
That there is some virtue in the
contention that the franchise may not
be regular is shown by the fact that
Attorney General Webb thought suffi-
ciently of the proposition when it was
placed before him to give the sanction
of the state to the action.
A lively session in the superior court
is looked forward to by those inter-
ested in the controversy.

self in 1906. In 1908 he was an unsuc-
cessful candidate for the superior
bench.
HAS A GOOD RECORD
Golden's record on the justice bench
has been more than creditable. He
brought to the justice court both en-
ergy and a disposition to perform his
duty, regardless of the enemies to be
made as a direct consequence OF his
energy and feariessness.
His attitude on the justice bench re-
suited in virtually taking the court
out of the odium which had attached
as the result of its use as weapon by
loan usurers. His loan shark enemies
endeavored at one time to have him
impeached, and again threatened to in
woke mandamus to compel him to rem
der decisions. The policy of his court
has made him known as the poor mans
justice.
CANDIDATES FOR THE JOB
Among the early candidates for the
remaining year of Golden's term are
Frank Haynes, Hamilton Bauer, Will
liam Tomsky and John I. Pidwell.
Bauer, Tomsky and Pidwell have been
prominent in politics. Bauer holds a
notarys commission by virtue of his
relations with George f. Hatton. He
was formerly a member of the state
senate and has been one of the most
energetic of the younger lieutenants in

PidwelI was formerly one of the
leaders in the thirty third district He
was with Ryan against the machine in
