ILLINOIS JUDICIAL ELECTION.

The Fifth Judicial District of IL
linois has just elected a democrat
Judge Charles G. Craig, to the state
supreme court bench. The election
was contested, especially by the pro
gressives and republicans, with al
the fervor of intense partisanship
The calm in which judicial prefer.
ment is supposed to be determined
was conspicuously absent.
Because of the party prestige
which was involved, or to put II
bluntly, because of the politics of the
fight, the result was awaited eagerly
by politicians all over the country
Until a year ago the district had
been staunchly republican. But in
1912 Grundy was the only county OF
the ten comprising the district which
Taft carried. OF the remaining nine
Roosevelt carried six and Wilson
three. The republicans were anxious
to redeem the district and their cam
paign efforts laid as much, IT not
more, emphasis on the matter OF
party redemption as on the question
of their candidates fitness for place
on the supreme court. Similarly,
the progressives were ambitious IT,
repeat the showing of year ago
The last two weeks Of the struggle
were enlivened by the sDe!lbinding
presence of women prcgressives from
Chicago.
Judge Craig was elected by a ma
jority of 3,64O over the republican
candidate, Judge Puterbaugh (pro-
gressive), carried only one county, in
the total running almost 5000 votes
behind Puterbaugh. A comparison,
therefore, between last year and this
is the county unit basis, shows the
democrats as gaining three counties,
the republicans three and the pro-
gressives loss of six.
The figures prove beyond ques-
ton that the progressive party is dis
migrating in that district, but the
only satisfaction the republicans got
out of that fact is of the melancholy
brand. Some of the progressives
have returned to the republican par
ty, but more of them have allied
themselves with the democratic par
ty, and this, we are sure is bound
to be the order Of party alignment
now the country over.
NO review OIL lulS elcCIioH, uOWe'-
er, would be complete that did not
take into account the character,
training and scholarly fitness of
Judge Craig for the Supreme Bench
of Illinois. The principles OF democ-
racy are attractive to many progress
sives, and their support can certainly
be expected when democrats select
as their candidates men worthy in
every way of the party name they
hear

According to the Waverly Demo-
crat there are more women county
superintendents of schools in Iowa
than in any other state in the union.
Iowa now has sixty-six women hold
ing this Office. In Illinois, with a
larger number of counties, there are
only three women in this office.
They were all selected, however, be-
fore the women have had opportun-
ity to vote in Illinois. For one rea-
son, so it is stated, men are seek
ing these offices in other states more
than women, and that is that they
are more nearly political in charac-
ter and the pay is generally better
than in Iowa.

ENTER. MRS. PARKHURST.

President Wilson showed good
sense in putting an end to the tenn
pest in a teapot over the Parkhurst
invasion. There was no good rea-
son why immigration officials should
take Mrs. Parkhurst so seriously.
American women do not need to be
told how to fight their battle for SUI
frage. But most American men
learned long ago that when woman
wants to talk the easiest way is to
let her.
While Mrs. Parkhurst may have
suffered some slight Inconvenience
from her brief detention at Ellis is
land, the situation, from box office
point of view, has it's compensations.
Everyone should be satisfied.
