AGAIN SCORES RECALL

Taft is agin the recall of judges.
Everyone knew this but lest it be
forgotten he emphasized his position
in New York speech.
To Taft judges are hedged in
with divinity that would have
made the ambitious Roman despots
pink with rage.
Upon what food do these judges
feed that they are grown so divine?
Mr.. William Howard Taft does not
attempt an explanation of the al
chemy of the change. He contents
himself with the assertion. He says
he doesn't have to prove it because
the judges admit it.
Here is the process: Yesterday
this judge was lawyer and as a
lawyer was open to popular criticism
and suspicion. Some president or
governor says to him: BE a Judge. "
Instantly the mantle of righteous
ness and divinity settles comfortably
around his shoulders and criticism
becomes sacrilegious. s
Isn't that theory founded upon
perfectly sublime nonsense? i
Not even William Howard Taft
can make the people of the United
States swallow this garlic.

THE LITTLE LAD | USED TO Be

COhio State Journal)
Along the road called Yesterday
A-patter in the dust and heat
There come to me from far away
pair of tired tiny feet.
Two tiny tired feet that bear
slender form, a little lad
OF sunburnt face and tousled hair
And sometimes good, and sometimes bad
know him-and 1 know him well;
His sturdy limbs, his movements free.
His voice the tinkle of bell
The little lad used to be!
He says, twinkle in his eye
The while he looks me DER and through:

1t is only by technicality that
Roosevelt can be said to have served
two terms as president.
And yet this technicality may de-
feat him for reelection.
The poll being made by the Kansas
City Star is significant.
In Kansas and Missouri Roosevelt
leads Clark by nearly 7 to l and Taft
by 9 to /.
Would that percentage hold good
in Redwood county?
The citizens of this county are not
for Taft and no one can make them
believe they are.
At one time there was some La
Toilette sentiment and he is today
overwhelmingly preferable to Taft.
But it is doubtful if La Toilette at
best could poll many more votes
here than Cummings of Iowa.
Now, then. ask the first dozen Re-
publicans you meet. what about
Roosevelt. You'll find sentiment
that will make William Howard Taft
feel like sweet pickle in abarrel Of
vinegar.

BEHIND THE POLITICAL SCENES


N. j. Holmberg is still flirting
with the frosty end of a guberna-
toriai proposition.
Nels, who is credited with having,
ana who really has. considerable
native shrewdness may eventually
decipher the Sancrit on the wall and
retire to placid pastoral scenes
where the glitter of the White
House on the hill won't hurt his
eyes.
There are those who do not desire
to discourage Mr.. Holmberg, who
is a young man of ability and ambi-
ton, but who tactfully call his at
tention to the fact that when ne has
pocketed Renville county he will
have about all the load he can lug
into the convention.
Of course these astute ones may
be wrong, astute ones sometimes
are wrong and Nels might "shatter
the convention to bits and then re-
mold it nearer to the hearts desire. >
F. F. Ellsworth has been doing
considerable talking. Not that this
is new condition for Franklin. with
the Marcel waves, but he has broken
out in a new spot this time. Frank
took a plunge at congress last cleo
ton and lost. Now he has banker
ing in that direction this year and
also he is credited with soul-deep
longing to be attorney general.
After the Simpson nightmare no
one can be blamed for considering
himself proper attorney generalship
material. This lets Franklin in.
But the new spot above referred
to is an attack on ESerhart. Could
mt carry Blue Earth county, says
the genial Frank, recently removed
from ST. James. Frank may be
right. Like a good many other
people the governor is far from be-
ing strongest at home. But the
point is: What does Franklin hope
to gain by this attack? If he wants
to come out for Gordon or Lee he
has a right to do so and in that case

that the latter intends again to try

would seem that he had better look

dom He has contented nlmselI
with saying: Down With Eber-

Which may or may not be Of as
sistance to Mr.. Ellsworth when he
comes to fight for the congressional
nomination next fall.
If his opponent is Garfield of Luz
verne he will have the scrap of his
brief but varied career on his hands.
Mr.. Garfield, formerly member of
the legislature man of ability, ster-
ling qualities and progressive prin-
ciples. has been urged for congress,
was urged two years ago and is be-
ing actually entreated this year.
But right on the top of this comes
the report that Garfield is L. c.
Spooner's man of mystery. Spooner
and others want him to go after the
southwest corner Of the capitol and
they are kind enough to assure him
he'll have no trouble landing it.
Garfield admits he is conslderin'.
The result of his consideration seems
a matter of doubt. He is from
Eberhart's congressional district, is
widely known and is a forceful
speaker but a DANCED poor mixer.
There was some suggestion few
days ago that Ripley Brewer of st.
Cloud was the man Spooner was
advocating but Ripley quietly sets
his foot on this talk by saying he is
not going into politics at this time.

ing directly in the political path of
Sydney Anderson. the new congress
man from the First district. Sgd
slipped into the place he now holds
by fluke and there are several
more or less distinguished gentle
men in the First who are sore on
themselves for permitting him to
run away with the fried cake.
AS result of this feeling and the
poor showing made by sgd in con-
gress they are handing him the fol-
lowing:
1T is a notorious fact that Con-
gresham Anderson has failed to
consult the wishes and desires of his
constituents since he took his seat in
Congress. There may have been
some excuse in his voting for the
wool bill which was not as bad as the
other bills, but the other tariff bills
considered by the House were not in
line with the spirit of Progressive
Republicanism, aside from being
most crudely drawn and not in line
with the political beliefs of the peo-
pie of the First district. And in
other matters he has been equally
derelIct. The Tribune does not
know that there will be any candi-
date against Mr.. Anderson for the
nomination in the Republican prim-
aries, but it believes that the pro-
test was well timed and that if Mr..
Anderson is wise it will have the
effect of bringing him back to the
ground and cause him to take note
of the desires of his constituents and
keep more closely in touch with their
wishes in his work at Washington in
the future. ALBERT Lea Tribune.

A $4,000 Building Will Be
Erected on Wadsworth
Ave. Next to w.
SCOTS Building

Arvada is to have a fine, large
new lodge building that will be
erected by the local 1. O. O. F.
Plans for the building have
been underway for some time
but it was only at their meeting
Tuesday night that the location
actually accepted and the plans
for the building were decided on.
1t will be a $4,000 structure and
will be erected on the two lots
adjoining w. G. Scott's brick
building on Wadsworth avenue.
The material will be Arvada brick
with the exception of the front
which will be of white pressed
brick. The building is to be
40x140 feet, leaving five feet on
either side for light and ventila-
ton. The lower floor will be d.
vided into two store rooms while
the upper will be used for the
lodge rooms and will consist of a
parlor, lodge room, anti rooms,
kitchen, dining room, etc. 1t
will be modern in every respect
and will be steam heated. The
contract has not been let, but at
their next meeting on Tuesday
night of next week, an order to
advertise for bids will be made
and it is expected that the build
ing will be completed within
ninty days after the contract is
let. This will be a SPLENDID
thing for the members of that
order and will also greatly i'm
prove the looks of Wadsworth
avenue and increase the value of
property in that vicinity. 1t
will be quite an addition to Ar
vada in many ways.

town. 1t was gotten up by Mrs.

Work club, of whichMrs. Shoop is
a member, and was a most delight
full occasion. Mr.. and Mrs.
Shoop had recently moved into
their new bungalow home and
were getting things nicely settled
although they were entirely un-
prepared at $3.50 to receive such a
host of friends and neighbors.
After the excitement of the sur
prise was over, they entered into
the enjoyment of the evening,
which was spent in various
games by the young people, while
quite a group enjoyed the war
stories told by CAPTAIN Shoop.
Refreshments were served and

company broke up to go to their
