THE SUPERIOR COURT
JUDCSHIPS.

The contest for the superior judg-
ships Is one that should engage the
serious attention of every voter OF
Whatcom County. On next Tuesday
the electors will be called upon to
select two judges from the three
nOn-partisan nominees, Judges Har-
din and kellogg and w. d. Penn
berton. In making the selection no
voters ever had a greater RESPONSE
bility. That the controversies COM
ing before the superior court for
adjudication are properly tried and
justly determined is of the greatest
moment.
There are powerful corporations
which may cause or be caused liti
cation. That such controversies be
impartially and properly tried and
decided is of utmost importance to
the litigants themselves as well as
to the people OF the county. 1t may
happen that the interest of the
county may be even greater than
that of the parties to the litigation.
Corporations do not always cOnsid-
er the rights of others in their con-
tentions; it has often been said,
and with some degree. at least, of
truth. that corporations have no
SOULS" but the judge who hears
their cases should have one and
should feel his responsibility.
Many people do not stop to con-
slider how much state or COM
munity depends upon it's judiciary.
The judiciary administers the law.
The law lays down the rules that
govern all business transactions.
The law tells how you shall hold,
and in some cases. how you shall
use, your property. 1t does not
say to the farmer that he shall
plant potatoes, or sow wheat or
oats. but the law says that he shall
not plant Canadian thistle. The law
furnishes the rules for government
of the domestic relations, of hus-
band and wife, of parent and child,
of guardian and ward. 1t furnish
es the rules for the protection of
your property. your rights. your
liberty. The men who are called
to the high office of judge should
be above the slightest suspicion.
The Judge should be learned in
the law that he may be able prop
erly to administer Justice; he should
be fearless and free. the tool or
no man or concern.
Judge Hardin and Mr. Pember-
ton fulfill the requirements in ev-
cry particular. The are able law
yers, honest and honorable, unham-
pered in their associations, and can
be relied upon in every way. Jus
tice-loving citizens will make no mis-
take in casting their ballots next
Tuesday for Hardin and Pemberton

features of the proposed initiative
and referendum.
An initiative petition must be
signed by 10 per cent, but in any
case not over $4,000 of the legal
voters. i referendum petition
must be signed by 6 per cent but
not over 10000 Of the legal voters
Politicians have estimated that at
this election the total vote of the
state will be about 100000. So that
under this law a petition of 10000
would be required to initiate leg
islation, and a petition of $4,000
would be required to secure a refer
endum to the people of any act pas
sed by the state legislature.
petition to initiate legislation
must be filed 10 days before the
legislature meets. 1t is then sub
mitted to the legislature. II the
legislature enact the measure the
need for the initiative is lost, but
there may still be a referendum up
on it.
But if the legislature does not
enact the law then the secretary
of state must submit it to the vot-
ers.
If the legislature should in any
way amend the act petitioned for
then both acts shall be submitted
to vote of the people, the one as
petitioned for and the
other as passed by the legislature
The voters will then express their
preference which one of the acts
they want, or whether they want
eith her one. They can reject both.
Or enact either one.

LECOE and SHACREN

One of the important offices in
connection with county affairs is
that of 3unty commissioner, and
two are to b. elected this year, one
from the Spcond and the other from
The Third District. The taxpayers
ire vitally interested in having ca
pable and efficient men in these Of
fees. for the commissioners have thr
handling of all funds as well as the
appropriation of the same, and the
liking of the tax levy. Good, capa-
Bile and honest men are wanted and
the Progressive party fully realized
this when it selected its candidates
Henry Shagren, Progressive party
candidate for commissioner from the
Second district, has been identified
with the farm and business life of
this county all of his life. having
been born near Lynden, and is fully
aware of the needs and wishes of,the
taxpayers. No one who knows him
questions his honesty and ability
an d he can be relied upon to give
the taxpayers a reasonable, just and
equitable administration of the Of
flee.
c.. B. Legoe, of Ferndale, can
didate for commissioner from the
Third district, is a representative cit
izen of the county, and an able. con-
servative man of affairs, possessing
more than ordinary ability. His mot
to is "A square deal for everybody
That is all that can be expected OF

competent men. and If elected. will

BOB HODGE FOR GOVERNOR.
BY NAT U. BROWN,
Un State Capitol Record. J

Those leaders of the bull moose par.
ty who, frightened by the wild sto.
ries of the Seattle P. l. and the Per
kins press, are afraid that their tick
ct is losing out because Bob Hodge
heads it, are very much mistaken
Bob Hodge is the strongest man on
the ticket, | believe, and ! think that
If any of the others are elected they
will owe their election to him.
The dirty, vicious and uncalled-for
attacks Of the big Hay newspapers of
this state on Bob Hodge are making
him votes every day and are causing
many who would have supported Hay
to turn to him.
Those who know Hodge know that
he has made some mistakes in pub
lie office, mistakes due to poor ad
vice probably more than anything
else and largely political mistakes al
that. They also know that Boil
Hodge is not guilty of the crimes
from wife beating to grand larceny
that have been charged against him
Sammy" Perkins and some of them
are simply scared stiff and they are
in an attempt to get Hodge, making
this the dirtiest campaign ever wae
ed. They know that IL the King coun
ty sheriff is elected, and he surely
will be, they will not be called upon
when there Is an appointment to he
made or when political diplomacy il
needed to carry the state adminlstra

tion over a thin place. The latter be
cause there will be no thin places.
They dare not attack his record as
a public officer, so sneak behind the
skirts Of woman to attack his pri
vate life. They know that when the
biggest thing they had against Hodge
was finally brought into court. Hay 5
little big man, George Lee, had to go
into court and pray for dismissal,
that in spite of the fact that Hodge
went into court and begged that the
case be allowed to go to trial so he
could show up what interests were
behind the prosecution. Even at that
the crime charged was not so great
as that of which several of the big
papers fighting him are guilty of each
day when they go to press and use the
United States mails without publish
ing the statement of their ownerships.
If they published the statement before
the election they might lose votes for
their candidates.
As for being uncouth and without
education, Bob Hodge has had broad
er and greater education than Gov
ernor Hay. He can at least deliver
a speech without reading from type
written manuscript dictated by his
private secretary. His so-called OBJ
scenity is merely a dream of Hays
press agent, who is also Perkins rep
resentative at Olympia. To have
been admitted to practice as an attor-
ney-at-law in Washington, Hodge
must have known something Of legal
practice and must have had a certain
foundation Of eIemen ntal studies.
It is not Hodges unfitness for office
that has called forth the torrent Of
abuse. II Is his fitness and the knowl-
edge Of the oid-time bosses who have
led the present governor by the nose
for the past four years that If elected
the King county sheriff would be his
own boss and would upset tradition
at the state house. He might also
bump Ed Cowan, George Lee, Jesse
Jones and some Of the rest Of them If
elected.
In spite Of the attacks Of the press,
! believe that the people of the State
Of Washington know that they will be
practically safe in putting the reins
Of government in his hands, and
believe that they will do so on Ne
vember 5.

unable to back up any assertion he
the eXtravagant, money-squanderin; i,
Hay administration:
Il have broadly charged Governor
Hays administration with needless
cost, and am prepared to prove it.
The taxpayer easily determines
the increased cost of government
from the increased taxes, paid on
the same piece of property. The best
proof of the vast expenditures under
he Hay administration is best shown
by a contrast of the appropriations
made during Governor Mead's admin
istration. During the former the ap.
propriations, in round numbers, 1905
1907, were $3,000,O0O and $6,0O0,OO0,
or $9,000,000 during Mead's term. In
1909 they increased to $9,000,000, in
1911 to $11 ,216,000. or over 100000, ,00G
during Hays administration, an in
crease of s11 100000 over the preced-
ing term of Governor Mead"
JOHN c. LAWRENCE.
Spokane, October 81.
When Mr.. Lawrence was candi-
date for the nomination of Governor
on the Progressive ticket, he challang-
ed Hay to meet him on the public
platform to discuss the important is
sues before the people.
Hay refused.
Hay has also refused to meet Hodge
in an open discussion.
The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1912-10-31

Will the people of the state of
Washington place their faith and des-
TIMES in the hands of man and set
of men who are capable OF such meth
DDS and willing to go to any lengths
to control state affairs for another
four years? We guess not, and be-
lieve they will record it so loudly on
November 5th that Hay anu his gang
will practically be driven from the
state.
If the former wife of Bob" Hodge
is all that she claims to be, then why
didn't she secure the custody of the
Oldest boy, who could have made
living for her? And, too, why didn't
she secure alimony in The courts of
King county? No. kind reader. there
is another story yet to the Hodge
family affairs. But Bob" Hodge is
too much of man to tell it. If it
is told at all it will have to come from
other lips than his.

On the official ballot November

For (or against the propos-

For Tor against) the proposed
amendment of article 2 of the con

ton by striking section 81 there
from, which relates to the times
when laws take effect"
These are the two questions up
on which the voters will cast their
ballot, expressing their preference
for or opposition to the initiative

To make this plain: 1t is not
necessary that the amendment re-

cast at the election to become a
law. 1t requires majority only
of those voting on the amendment
If only 10 per cent of the people
who go to the polls vote on the a
