I he Chicago Bur Association, prOv1N-
Ing for the addition Of eight Judges
To the Circuit and Superior benches,
were passed Monday by the Cook
County Board. The bill Ii still pend.
ing I'm the legislature. The action Of
the board was based upon the report
IF committee which submitted what
It declared was proof that the extra
judges are not needed and that the
extra expense to the county IL unjMs-
tifinlIe. The report argued that, al.
though there seem to be more cases
pending than could possibly Ike tried

the fact Ii that thousands Of the cases
filed are for one reason and another
never brought to trial.

Some of the men who are running
on the same ticket for Judge with Jul.
ian W. Mack deserve to be elected.
But the feeling against Mack Is so in.
tense that many Democratic candidates
will be drawn down with him to de.

No Democrat has any right to crlti.
cixe Ambassador White or any other
man Of his ilk. while J. w. Mack is

Don't forget that Judge BrentnnO
will run far ahead Of his ticket. Moth.
Ing cnn stop the recollection OF this hon.
est ana upright Judge.
Judge Mack represents Jane Ad-
dams ana n lot Of settlement workers.
Does the Democratic party want n
man of that kind on the bench? The
Democratic party calls itself the party
Of the worklngman, the business man
and the liberal-minded man, regard.
less of race or religion. And yet 1t
dominates J. w. Mack for Judge.

While we doubt very much whether
Mack's selection as Juvenile Judge
would make Chicago dry" town, we
still think for the interest Of oil con-
cerned that Mack should be turned out
Into the ''wet' and beaten for re.elec'
tion. lie IL too much OF Lake-ShOre

Turn him down.

Mack Is an awful load on the Dem

People are not against Mack because

workers.

United States Senator of every persOl

We regard Mr.. william Loeifler III
one of the best politicians In Chicago
ana the persons on the bench who ar
called his proteges are certainly mel
of ability. They are:
Julian w. Mack, Circuit Court.
Arthur II. Chetlain, Superior Court
The defeat of Judge Mack may no
please the carpet-baggers' Union, bu
we guess, from current gossip. that Il
about the only union 1t will not please
Even the dog catchers' union Is tired
of settlement workers.
