GOVERNOR JOHNSON

Gov. johnson, of California, re-
Gently addressed the Ohio constitu-
tional convention. In speaking on
the recall of judges he said:
Impeachment is mot, and never
has been an effective remedy to
prevent judicial corruption. In no
State has it ever been effective. 1t
is a mere scarecrow that does not
even frighten. Don't allow your
selves to be frightened by mere
bugaboos. No people will recall a
Judge because of decision given
enormously, but honestly. Nope
pie will recall their Judge unless
back of his decision there is real
corruption. No just Judge need
fear the masses. We of the West,
in our optimism have been willing
to trust the people. Judges are
elected by the people. When elect
ed, they are fulsom in their praises
of the people who gave them
power, but after being clothed in
the gown and wig of office, they
become contemptuous of that force
which gave them power and to
them then the people become rah-
bic and the masses. Now, if the
people have the judgment to de-
eide a judges qualifications in the
beginning and his fitness for re-
election, should mot they have the
right to recall him? There are dis
tinguished members of the lar, and
We have them in California, who
view amy change in government
to be species of anarchy not to
be tolerated. We had all these ar
guments in California. But
preach to you the faith that is in
us, as people of the West, and say
to you that the Recall must be
made applicable to judges first of
all"

THE LAWRENCE STRIKE

We have now one of the big
trusts fattened by the tariff, a con-
Germ known as the American
"oolen Company, declaring that it
has nothing to discuss with it's mis-
cradle, half-starved workers in
Lawrence, Mass.
And We have before us two re-
ports. One is the report of that
American Woolen Company, which
says there is nothing to discuss
with the workers and the workers
have no just complaint.
The woolen company's report, is
sued on December 81, last, shows
that it began this fat and comfort
able year 1912 with surplus in its
pocket of $11 1,597,3T.
There is another report, made by
honest and earnest men and wom-
en- that investigated the conditions
of the miserable creatures working
for the Woolen Trust and driven to
strike.
The testimony given before the
Congress at Washington shows
that miserable children working in
the mills of the trust were charged
ten cents every two weeks for
drinking water"
And the same report of condi-
tions in those mills shows that the
half-starved children of the work.

These conditions, these revela-

the twelve millioRs IN cash surplus
decide how little the worker shall

Roosevelt who knows the game
of politics, having twice practiced

body of politicians are pitted
against us in this contest, and in
every state and in every congress

officeholders, who, with their ex-

A WARNING

Genuine Pearls from Idaho would
be very good seed for Colorado use
this year of shortage, but all those
| have seen offered under this
name are apparently Charles
Downings, most excellent potato
on the west slope, but an exceed
ingly poor one for northeastern
Colorado or the San Luis valley.
People who plant Downings at
Greeley or in the San Luis valley
stand to lose all their profit, ac-
cording to our careful tests. Down.
ing seed commands a premium on
the west slope and should be sold
there. Potato growers do well to
refer such untried matters to us
before taking such great risk as
the purchase of an unknown seed
