THE FARMERS.
rSiOuy CITY Journal. ]


Farmers are fully as competent as
other people to take care Of them
selves. as has been demonstrated in
this state and in other states. Severe
poverty makes its demonstrations
wherever the condition exists. and is
more readily observable in the large
cities than in the rural communities.
II the markets are compromising to
the farmers their need Of a protector
ate does not extend beyond the need
of their fellow citizens engaged IN
other occupations. Opposing conten-
ton is neither true to the fact nor
contributary to pride.
Progress on the farm in the middle
west during recent years is delightful
to contemplate. The homes are not
far from a railroad station: 1t is a
short drive by automobile or with
spanking team TO a neighbours or 20

THE RECALL OF JUDGES"
THOMPSON COurier.l

Thompson COurier.J
The recall law enacted recently in
several states provides that all officers
elected by the people may be recalled
Ca polite name for "fred") by the peo-
pie. This includes, of course, all Judges
elected by vote Of the people. President
'Ia1r was not averse 10 the recall or
other elected offers. but having been
Judge himself he thought judges
should be exempted from such action.
Lawyers. and especially old lawyers.
are opposed to any change in our court
systems. We have the very worst
system Of court procedure in the civil
lized world, and the most expensive,
with the least chance for poor man
against a rich man. But they do not
want it changed. because it happens to
be the trade they work at, and they
consider the benefits they derive from
it a sort of divine right.
Their principal argument against 1t
is that judge might in all sincerity
render a verdict unpopular with the
people. and get fired, when he was
only interpreting the law. This argu-
ment is so foolish that 1t seems I'M
necessary to answer it, but it has been
used so much that some people have
actually come to consider it sound.
The law as printed in the statutes is
merely an attempt to indicate the will
OF the people. When there Is doubt
as to Its Interpretation, the decision
should be given in favor Of the popular
opinion OF the people. One or two
supreme court judges will agree with
you on this. Some will Indignantly ex-
plain: Don't you suppose judges
know more about it than the people?'
The answer is, 'then why have juries?"
The people are the law. Judges and
are simply the peoples in
struments for enforcing the law. If a
majority of the people wish to recall
judge or any other officer that officer
has been tried and convicted by
higher court than the supreme court
Of the United States. majority of
the people is the court Of last resort.

BUTTS GROUND HOG.
[keosauqua Republican,


A couple of pet ground hogs on the
Butts farm, north of Ottumwa, by
their actions recently no doubt con-
WINGED the people in that section OF
the woods that the ground hus NTH is
no NTH at all. March 16 was the day,
according to those who pin their faith
on the ground hog as a barometer. for
the animal to come out from its six
weeks probation. These two pets,
which had gone into winter quarters
the latter part of October. under the
kitchen floor at the Butts home, came
out on Tie 18th. only a few hours
ahead of orthodox time, in good con-
d;tion but very hungry. However.
close watch on Feb. 2 showed that the
two shotes did not venture out to see
their shadows. Still trifling default
like that should not be sufficient to
shatter faith in a lifetime tradition,

FRONTIER SYSTEMS.

Attorney General Cosson Is right
the effect Of the removal suits against
members Of the Polk county board will
be state wide.
There will be a general tightening up
all along the line in county business.
1t will be a long time before the same
sort of abuses will spring up that have
been tolerated all these years in every
county in the state.
But the full benefit will not ac-
crue if the agitation does not go or
until some of the crudsties Of the
frontier system of conducting coun-
ty. school. and township affairs have
been Topped off.
The county board system was in
tended for a pioneer community. There
was little to do in those days and any
committee of good citizens could at
tend to it by giving a few days month
or even less.
The business Of a county like Polk
is a big business today requiring the
undivided attention of able and e1-
perienced men.
