REFLECT WORTHY JUDGES

Throughout the state of Wisconsin
there is noted this spring an irrup-
ton of young lawyers with aspira-
tons for the bench. In more than
one county there will be witnessed
the spectacle of young lawyers in heat
ed candidacy against judge who
has proved his worth and deserves
to be retained in office.
The principle which the people of
Wisconsin have followed with excel
lent results in the past has been
that of rwearding judges who have
done their duty by re-electing them
again and again. There has been a
popular feeling that lone good term
deserves another and that partisan
or fractional controversy over a judi
ci al office is to be avoided. 1t is in
hope of furthering non-partis aDship
in the selection of judges that judi
ciaI elections are held in the spring.
1t is poor policy for the voters to
pursue a course that will dishearten
faithful judges, giving them reason
to fear that something else than a
bility, integrity, answering loyalty
to duty will influence the election.
The people need good judges, and
the way to get them istokeep them
when they have been found. Wheth-
er a Judge has served one term or
several, with due allowance, of course
for the age limit, usually the people
can do better by re-elcting him than
by putting an inexperienced man in
his place.
Often young fellows run for a
| judgeship without expectation of E.
| lection, merely for the sake of the &C
vertising; but it is hard on judge
who deserves to be retained when a
wholly selfish reason of this sort
puts him to the expense of cam
paign for election--Evening W S
consin.

One of the Chicago papers contain
ed a story about how the Express
companies are taking advantage OF
the parcel post. The story alleges
that a person in Detroit sent a pack
age to Milwaukee and paid 40 cents
expressage on it and the package ar
rived at its destination by parcel
post with % cents in postage on it.
This would give the express company
carrying or transporting the pack
age an additional profit of Is cents
over what their usual profit was. The
man who expressed the package is
alleged to have said that he believes
the Express companies can make
more money with hte parcel post IN
existence than they could before on
certain classes of business. .

THIS WAS A
REAL PICNIC
Grand Rapids Boy Scouts De-
feated the Stevens Point Boy
Scouts Friday Night.

When the final whistle blew, the
score board showed Grand Rapids 81,
Stevens Point 2. That is a very good
and very fair comparison between the
two cities. This time it was a PIC
MIC and no mistake.
The Rapids Boy Scouts took the
Stevens Point Scouts out in the woods
and lost them. They played rings a
round them. That's about the worst
defeat that has come off this sea-
son. 1t couldn't have been much
worse. We are expecting to hear a
howl of unfair officials or other nois-
es to that effect from Stevens Point.

He had not intended to kill her.
He only wanted to punish her severe

was one of the few people who, hav-
ing committed a murder, are still
free. Why should he now feel sad
and oppressed?
Because he seemed to see before
him the young couple--himself and
her.
Jacques sank down on a bench ex-
hausted. Perhaps the couple might
continue on their way and leave him.
He rested his head in his hands and
assured himself that he was inno-

He repeated the verdict of the jury.
he heard again his lawyers speech.
What arguments could he set against
these?

fens. Nobody hears her. She stands
before him now and It is no longer in
