REELECTION OF A JUDGE WHO
HAS SERVED WELL.

I'm Vermont. l think, the judges are
elected for only one year but they are
constantly reelected. In this state, L
think. there is a growing disposition, l
am happy to say, 10 re-elect judge
who has served well regardless OF his
politics. and both political parties have
displayed a tendency TO respect popu-
lar feeling. Agitation Of this subject
both by the press and members OF the
profession. tends TO increase the popu-
lar determination in that regard
Judge Cullen sees no merit In the re-
call Of judicial decisions. Rather thsn
submit constitutional questions TO inc
neople. he would take away from the
courts the decision Of such matters ana

The Judge at first refused to discuss
the subject at all. He wrinkled his
brow a little, thought for moment

Here the Judge took tight grip on

nartially and leaned back as he SAID

EXTENSION, NOT DiMlNUTlON,
OF OFFICE TENURE.

"Of course, our experience to-day
)ustines the extension rather than the
diminution o. terms Of office: if we wish
to get efficient service. But if there are
such evils as require the removal OF
public officers Tor other grounds or by
other methods than those now pre-
scribed by law-which / utterly deny
the sensible way 10 save the expense of
a popular election for recall. and at the
same time 10 save the officers from
constant annoyance arising from the
institution Of such proceedings. is by
making the term so short that the next
election would come as soon as the
vote could be taken on a recall.
"Of course" added Judge Cullen.
after pause, my belief is that by this
you would get very poor public ser
vice. but il would be at least as good
as, probably better than, the service
that would be obtained from officers
subjected TO practically a new cleo
ton at the instance OF any substan-
tial ma jority Of the voters. But It
would have this merit. at least: 1t
would be a great deal cheaper proceed

Asked whether in his opinion the sys-
tenn Of electing judges for reasonably

state. is as satisfactory as the system

Judges are appointed for life, or in New

comparatively short terms. his reply

AS TO THE DOCTRINES OF COLO
MEL ROOSEVELT.

Naturally enough the first questions
that came up were the much discussed
doctrines Of Colonel Roosevelt and the
Progressive party-the recall Of judges
and the recall Of judicial decisions.
Il think the idea Of recalling either
one or the other is preposterous.' said
the judge. LAS to the frst-the recall

SERVED AS ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY.

II Judge Cullen had not gone on the
bench he might have figured notably in
political circles, as he was q natural
leader OF men and popular. He served
term as an Assistant District At
torney. He was engineer in chief on
the STAFF of Governor Samuel J. TIL
den.
After he went on the bench Judge
Cullen was more than once suggested
for the Democratic nomination for
cred for appointment to the United
States Supreme Court by President
Cleveland
Justice Cullen issued the famous in
junction restraining John Y. McKsne
from interfering with the watchers at
the polls in the Gravesend elections in
1898. II was the defiance OF this in
junction by McKane, with the remark.
"Injunctions don't go here" that
caused McKane to land in Sing Sing
later. In these very election fraud
cases, year later Judge Cullen de-
cided that the grand jury might indict
for a misdemeanor. which decision
vexed District Attorney who was taxi
ing a vacation in Florida at the time.
The following story is still told OF
Judge Cullen to Illustrate his indepen-
dence and absolute desire to see justice
triumph. The incident occurred when
he was on the bench in Brooklyn, In
1892.
The Judge granted a motion 10 dis
miss a suit for damages against the
Long Island Railroad, on the ground
that there had been contributory negli-
gence on the part OF the plaintiff. Later
the Judge questioned the justice Of his
own decision and wrote to the plaintiffs
counsel asking him TO move for a new
trial, on the ground that the decision
had been contrary to law and the
weight OF evidence"
The lawyer was only too glad TO
do So
How dare you make such motion
before the very judge who dismissed
the case?" shouted the railroad lawyer
This motion is made at my request"
said Judge Cullen. quietly. The rail-
road attorney subsidized. and the new
trial was granted

and young who is dependant upon the proceeds of
their toll for vlihood-and that includes practically
everybody The article by Mr. s. W. Straus entitled
"Thrift,'' and among other things the writer says
Thrift does not tnat shall deny himself food
and cothingno the thrftier he is the money he

cutting out the useless and senseess expenditures that
there may money for the things are sensible
and useful and thereby make for better people and

community thrift and have community thrift
until we have individual thrift. -
''Thrift. continues Mr.. straus. ''is not mere
forced rule it is virtue principle. Thrift is not
affair of the pocket but affair of character thrift
not nggardlyness but wisdom. Thrift is SO much

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST

So called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, wind, stomach he and in
ability to retain food, are in probably
nine cases out Of ten simply evidence
that fermentation Is taking place in the
food contents of the stomach, causing
the formation of gas and acids. Wind
distends the stomach. and causes that
full, oppressive feeling sometimes
known as heartburn, while the acid
irritates and inflames the delicate lining
of the stomach. The trouble lies en-
tirely in the fermenting food. Such
fermentation is unnatural, and acid
formation is not only unnatural, but
may involve most serious consequences
il not corrected. To stop or prevent
fermentation Of the food contents of the
stomach and to neutralize the acid, and
render 1t bland and harmless, a tea
spoonful Of bisurated magnesia, prob
ably the best and most effective cor
rector Of acid stomach known, should
be taken In a quarter of a glass of hot
or cold water imm ediately after eating,
or whenever wind or acidity is felt.
This stops the fermentation, and neil
tralizes the acidity in few moments.
Fermentation, wind and acidity are
dangerous and unnecessary. Stop or
prevent them by the use of proper
antacid, such as bisurated magnesia,
which can be obtained from any drug
Rist and thus enable the stomach to do
its work properly without being him
dered by poisonous gases and danger
