GOOD CANDIDATES

Politics in this country has been
in the hands of a few individuals.
The citizens have been divided up
like sheep into parties. They have
waited patiently until organization
which has meant bosses and
cunning management-announced
the names of the candidates. Then
the people voted, taking the candi-
dates as they were given to them.
Too often in our country it has
been necessary for a man to prove
to bosses that he was unfit to be
president before he could be NOM
mated. In every case the most
desirable thing in the estimation
Of cunning politicians was that the
candidate should be as nearly as
possible unknown. A man who
had made no enemies was a great
thing. AS long as he had made
the right kind of friends in power
and had made no public mistakes
he was a good candidate Chicago

The Recall Of Judges.

When the reactionary discusses
the wisdom or otherwise of the re-
call of judges, he is usually inclined
to berate the proposition as as a
dangerous innovation, when, in fact
the idea is not new at all. Judges
were made subject to recall almost
simultaneous with the birth of this
nation, as will be seen by reference
to the archives of Tennessee.
On the LIST day. of May, 1880. at a
convention of the settlers of Tenne
ssee, held at Marlborough (now Nash
ville) Articles of Agreement or Com
pact of Government" were entered in
to- One of the first articles provided
for the election of a court of twelve
triers or judges. Provisions for the
recall were also adopted. in the
following language "As often as the
people in general are dissatisfied with
the doings of the judges or triers so
to be chosen, they may call a new
election in any of the said stations,
and elect others in their stead, hav-
ing due respect to the number now
agreed to be elected at each station,
which persons so to be chosen shall
have the same power as those in
whose room or place they shall or
may be chosen"

THE WORLD.
To the Editor of the World A pro-
gressive Is one who is moving for
ward. Recognizing the imperfection
that pertains to the handiwork of man
a progressive is seeking to make i'm
provementS in present conditions
wherever improvement is possible. AS
the trend Is more and more toward
popular government. the progressive
Ia, Of course, going in that direction.
He has faith in both the right of the
people to self-government and in their
capacity for self-government. He be-
lieves that government is secure
and strong in proportion as it draws
its authority from the people and is
responsive to the will of the people.
The progressive favors justice in
government and believes that this
can only be secured through the APP
plicatiOn, in all departments of the
government of the Jeffersonian doc
trine of equal rights to all. 1t fol
lows that to be a progressive, one
must be in a position to do his own
thinking. No one can be expected to
go forward if he must ask permission
of the beneficiaries of privilege and
favoritism. A progressive, in other
words, is a free man whose sympa-
thies are with the people and who has
the intelligence to see what needs
to be done and the courage to do
it. Yours truly,

abilities we're not considered by the
president In selecting him for United

Colonel Coiner for services to the

this at public expense.
And what were Colonel Coiner's po-
Mtical services to President Taft.
The Washington republicans are

Necessity and Cost.

The request of several women's
clubs for the appointment of a police
matron seems to have been made
without full understanding of the
situation, or the cost that would en-
tail upon the city. Female arrests
have not so far exceeded an average
of three a month, and the creation
OF the position of police matron
would require the employment of
three women, as to be of use at all,
a matron must be on duty "a hours in
the day, SO that the cost appears to
be entirely too great for the service
to be rendered.
