WHENCE THEY COME

If you will examine closely all the
articles and speeches against the
recall Of the judiciary, you will find
that they emanate mostly from
quarters in which the control of the
judiciary has hitherto been lodged.
In no work of nominating conven-
lions have the tools, the lobbyists of
corporations, been more active than
in the selection of nominees for
judgeships, in both parties. in all
states. These men and their SYM
pathizers. their more respectable
confederates, are Mortified at the
thought of judges responsive to
popular opinion. Judges should
only be responsive to corporation
opinion. should serve their makers.
Right-o! Let the people make the
judges and not the corporations.
Let the people recall them from the
bench when they don't do right. as
the corporations turn them down
for denomination when they decide
"ungratefully. The Mirror.

Sleeping Outdoors

Statistics aren't available as to
the exact difference in temperature
between the stuffy chamber and the
sleeping porch-or the front porch,
or the tent on the lawn for that
matter. But the difference in COM
fort may be put at moderate esti-
mate at75 per cent. 1t is possible
to stand pretty torrid temperatures
during the day if only one can get
a good nights sleep. But just there
is the trouble if the sleeping is to
be done in the house, especially if
the chamber doesn't happen to be
in the way of a breeze.
The ordinary bedroom in this
weather is like an oven. The vic.
tim wonders sweatily as he stretches
out ON the scorching sheet whether
he won't be done to delicate brown
like Thanksgiving turkey by morn
ing. There is no getting to sleep
in the early hours of the night. One
tumbles and thrashes in vain eff.
fort to,find a cool spot. Often it
is long after midnight before OBJ
livion an uneasy oblivion comes.
To abandon such chamber of hor-
rors for the blessed GOODNESS and
comfort Of the open air is one Of
the greatest luxuries this mortal
life affords. On the porch the
STIFFNESS is gone. The breeze lazi.
ly fans the whole body. One is
submerged in delicious relaxation,
Drowsiness descends, and then rest
full sleep. Kansas City Star.

IDLE MEN ON COAST

There appears to be a general
movement of idle men toward the
Pacific coast, according to people
travelling from eastern points to
California. The sight of SO many
idle men has caused much comment
among the travellers. Many of
these men. it is, said, have the ap-
pearance of mechanics or tradesmen
and profess to be looking for en-
ployment.
Train men complain that they are
experiencing difficulty in keeping
these men from westbound freight
trains, and say that not for many
years have they noticed so many
loiterers in the vicinity of railroad
yards, stations and along the right
of way. Upon one or two occa-
sions, bands of these men have ia.
ken possession of an entire freight
train, 81
