THE RECALL.

Two OF the greatest minds In the
Catholic church have denounced In
scathing terms the recall Of judges
and the Freeman-Tribune believes
the denunciation Is deserved. Car
dinal Gibbons said recently in Bal
timore:
ITO recall q judge because his de-.
cisions do not meet with popular
approval IL an insult to the dignity.
the independence and the self-re-
spect OF the judiciary. Far less
menacing to the commonwealth Is
an. occasional corrupt or incompe-
tent Judge than one who would be
the habitual slave Of capricious
multitude, who has always his ear
to the ground trying to find out the
verdict OF the people"
Similar sentiments were express
ed by Archbishop Ireland in q
speech at Council Bluffs last week.
"If ever independence Of popular
clamor is .imperiously demanded,
he said, at Is when men are hidden
to speak in the name OF supreme
justice. regardless Of consequences:
when absolute calmness Of mind Is
= prerequisite to decision. What
ever the social or political reyolu-
lions with which this country may
be threatened, for the sake Of Amer
lea let us pray the God OF nations
let there be no sacrilegious hand
laid upon the courts, impairing
their independence or lowering their
majesty"

IS IT WORTH THE MONEY!

People who say that Hamilton
county soil is not worth the price at
which it is selling are often dis
puted by the practical experience Of
some good farmer who knows how
to get all there is to get out Of land.
The value OF q farm, In the final
analysis, IL represented by what can
be taken from It by men who know
how to handle 1t. A good quarter
section OF land in the hands Of q
poor manager has no opportunity to
demonstrate It's real worth. It must
be properly managed and properly
cultivated.
In speaking Of the possibilities OF
Hamilton county lands when cult
waited industriously and judiciously,
varick C. Crosley, the abstractor, a
few days ago recited the experience
Of one farmer during the past FIVE
years. Just five years ago last
spring the farmer in question
bought a quarter section of land in
Cass township at eighty dollars an
acre. He had but $4,000 and gave
a mortgage for the balance. He
went to work with a determination
to win. Last spring when the mort
gage came due he had saved enough
to liquidate 1t, with the exception
of $780, He had made many I'M
provements' upon the place in five
years and had paid quite large
sum OF money in interest charges.
He had kept an accurate account Of
expenditures and told Mr.. Crosley
that besides making good living
for himself and family he had taken

THE CASE IN A NUTSHELL.

The movement to nominate La
toilette. 10 nothing more nor less
than conspiracy to insure the de-
feat OF the republican party next
year. These are plain words, but
they are true. Most Of those engag-
ed in it know that there is no pos
sibility Of nominating LaFollette
and all OF them know that there
would be absolutely no possibility
OF electing him.-Creston Advertis-
or.
It Is some effort to treat such
statements as the foregoing with re-
spectful consideration. as the pro-
vocation to use "the shorter and ug-
lier word" is great and the
temptation almost Irresistible. The
Freeman-Tribune lays no claim to
infallibility, but 1t believes ITS opin-
ion is worth just as much as the
opinion Of the Creston Advertiser.
It is the deliberate judgment Of this
paper that President Taft, II renom-
mated. will meet with the most
stunning defeat that ever over
whelmed any republican presiden-
tial candidate. The results Of the
election Of ! year ago warrant this

little more than $4,000 from that
100 acres Of Hamilton county land
in Eve years substantially $1,000
per year. What Is 160 acres Of land
worth when It will support = fam
lily well and yield 4 profit Of $4,000
per year.
If that farmer would sell his land,
come to town and work for wages.
lie would do well If at the end Of
the year he had managed to support
his family and save $500 or $500.
Therefore, If he cold his farm and
put the proceeds out at interest he
would need at least 100000 at Ave
and half per cent to "lay by as
much each year asahe is able to save
from the proceeds Of his land. That
quarter section of land is worth as
much in the hands Of that farmer
as $4,000 in cash at five and q
half per cent Interest," $3.50 an
acre.
Mr.. Crosley recited another In
stance Of how a good farmer has
hammered out fortune from Ham
ilton county soil. In 1S94-just
seventeen years ago the farmer in
question was renting farm a few
miles south OF Webster City. BE
had no money and borrowed enough
to buy machinery, horses and other
things which he had to have. But
lie knew how to work and manage.
It was not long until he had saved
enough to make payment on farm.
He purchased some land near BlaIrs-
burg, applied himself assiduously
and raised big crops. As time went
on he bought more land and today
he has $50 acres. well improved.
which is worth $3.50 per acre. He
could sell his farm and stock, ma
chinery. etc.. pay all his indebted
ness and clean up at least $4,000.
and he has made every dollar OF 1t
from Hamilton county soil in only
seventeen years. Where is the bust
ness man who can show such re-
suits! What Is the real value Of q
thing that. when properly handled,
will support a family we'll and leave
a profit Of $4,000 in seventeen
years?

The sons Of John r. Walsh, the
Chicago millionaire banker who just
died after being paroled from the
federal prison at Leavenworth, de-
nounce Taft and Wickersham as
murderers, declaring that II they
had been more prompt in taking
steps to liberate their father he
would not have died so soon. That
may be true. But it was no fault
OF Taft or Wickersham that Walsh
was in prison. Nobody was to
blame for that but himself. Per-
haps he should have been pardoned
sooner, owing to the condition OF
his health. Be that as 1t may, the
sons ought to really be thankful
that their family was spared the
disgrace of having the father die in
Jail. NOW. that Walsh is dead the
country is in mood to accept his pa
role, but his sons will not gain SYM
pathy by their brutal attacks upon
the president and the attorney gem
eral.
