TEST OE HE RECALL.

What appears to be a typical ex-
ample of the judicial recall Is about
to be presented in oregon, where a
circuit judge handed down Instructions
in murder case which were regard
ed as unduly favoring the defendant.

pie, deciding for themselves that the
judge either didn't know the law or was
personally biased. have set the recall
machinery i'm motion and a vote is 10
be taken in the near future Under
the law the judge who Is "in bad" be
comes automatically a candidate for
reelection II he is reelected he will
be ''vindicated." If. on the other hand,
there are enough voters who for any
reason or many reasons are opposed to
him, he must step down and out and
the people will be indicated"
The result OF this vote though de
cisive. will prove absolutely nothing
Whichever way the election goes, the
returns will not show whether the
judge was or was not sufficiently
qualified mentally and morally To dis
charge the duties of his office with
ability and impartiality. They cannot
possibly show whether the instruc-
tions complained of were or were not
justified by the law-and that Is the
chief point involved. for in the event
OF malfeasance I'm office there is am
pie law to punish an offending Judge.
The fundamental fallacy Of the
judicial recall seems to become moro
glaring every time it is scrutinized.
To place a judge at the mercy OF
friends Of the men he sends to jail
and Of the lltigants against whom
he decides in civil cases is most
pernicious folly.
The soundest reform policy would
be the appointment Of all judges Of
record, getting them as far away as
possible from the people in the par
tisan political sense.

THE LITTLE HURTS.

Every night she runs to me
with bandaged arm or bandaged
knee:
a stone bruised shin or swollen
brow
And in sorrowful tones she tells me
how
she fell and "hurter herself today"
While she was having "the bestest
play"
And take her up in my arms and kiss
The new little wounds and whisper
this
ooh, you must be careful, my little
one,
You mustn't get hurt while your dad
dy's gone,
For every cut with its ache and smart
Leaves another bruise on your daddy's
heart"
Every night I must stoop to see
The fresh little cuts on her arms or
knee;
The lite hurts that have marred her
play.
And brought the tears on happy
day.
For the path OF childhood is oft
beset
with care and trouble and things
that fret.
oh. little girl, when you older grow
Far greater hurts than these your
know;
Greater bruises will bring your tears
Around the bend on the lane of years.
But come to your daddy, with them
at night
And he'll do his best to make all
things right.

The Fourth of July is a PA

OPPOSED to celebrating the
Fourth in the old fashioned way.
They will not forget their boyhood
days, with their THRILLS, and
how they saved their pennies long
before the Fourth to purchase
harmless materials.
The American people are a
SPIRITED race and insist on
something out of the ordinary
when confronted by the matter of
celebrating a day that means as
much to them as does the Fourth
of July. The accidents that occur
to the THOUGHTLESS folks
would probably happen anyhow

he should feel old.

Like the apple tree, try to
grow a little new wood each year.
And what Longfellow did VIC all
ought to do.
