dripping from them, she got into the
buggy and drove away with Ricord.

An Argument That Stops over.


That judges would degenerate
into mouthpieces of the mob if
subjected to popular recall, is an
argument which proves too much
for it's purpose. If that is moral
makeup of our judges, they would
degenerate into Office boys of cor
porations without the recall; and
of the two, m outhpieces of the mob
are preferable on the bench to
corporation Office boys.
And what is this mob that would
recall crooked judges? Isn't it the
same lot of folks who decorously
vote on election day? And
wouldn't they vote as thoughtfully
and decorously on the recall of a
judge as on the election of a Pres
ident? But when Mr.. Taft wants
votes, he doesn't speak of he cit
izenship of the country as mob,
no matter what he may think.
By the way, what does he think
on that point? Are the voters on
election day a mob in his mind,
and is he only playing the game
and concealing his contempt when
he addresses them coaxingly?-
