VOTERS BACK IN THE PARTY
Massachusetts Primaries Give Further
Proof Of Practical Extinction
Of Progresslves.

Massachusetts, had an uninteresting
primary election because there was no
contest for the first place on the state
ticket-governor-in any of the three
leading parties. The effect was seen
in an extremely light vote. The Re-
puolicans had more rivalry for other
places on the ticket than the Demo-
crats or the Progressives and hence
their vote was not so nearly missing
at the polls.
In certain districts. however. there
were contests which made fair
test of the relative activity and
strength of the three parties, In the
Sixth Congressional district, for In
stance, the Democrats and the Pro-
gressves, like the Republicans. had
|owo candidates for the nomination. In
that district the vote for congressman
two years ago was 1913 Republican,
9.7O4 Democratic and 1926 Progress
sive. In the primary election the vote
stood 10000 Republican. 1.l75 Demo
cratic and 512 Progressive.
Comment on these figures Is hardly
needed. They show, once more, that
the Progressive party has virtually
ceased to exist as separate organi-
zation and that the Democratic party
has lost much ground by comparison
with the Republican 1t is New Eng
land straw which might have been
blown by the political breeze in almost
any part of the country.

RETURN TO REASON.
Advocates Of Recall Of Judges
Becoming Fewer.
Campaign Of Education Has Had Its
Result-Judiclary VIII Remain FREQ
and untrammeled to Guard the :.
Peoples Liberties.

The theory OF the recall Of judges,
which never was defended by sound
thinking men. is dying natural death,
and 1t will soon take its place in that
limbo Of foolish products of political
ignorance occupied by the greenback
and free silver crazes. Ex-Governor
Osborn OF Michigan, who was one of
the original Progressives and once an
earnest advocate of the farrago of non
sense included with the sound fea-
lures of the Progressive program. has
discovered the folly In the demand for
Judicial recall sand Is now advocating
the election of judges for life, in order
that they may be freed from political
domination. He prefers life tenure to
liked terms, which he aptly describes
as periodical recall. In order to cover
his retreat he Ia talking about the re-
moval of life tenure judges by petition
at popular elections when they prove
themselves unfit. But he cannot urge
this remedy very long, for one who
wishes judges to be free from political
domination cannot consistently turn
them over to the tender mercies of a
tyrannical popular majority. He will
soon discover that the orderly proc
esses of removal by impeachment will
produce much better results than can
be secured by recall at the polls.
The activities OF the American Bar
aytl gfh ffr
the decreasing popularity of the recall.
Its committees have waged vigorous
campaign OF education which has en-
lightened many persons carried away
at first by the demand that the people
be delivered from the oppression OF
those unlearned in the law, that II the
courts are not to be permitted to de-
clare statute invalid when passed
by congress or by state legislature
In disregard OF constitutional pro-
visions, there might as well be no

selves to the unrestricted tyranny Of a
popular legislative body regard the i'm
partial courts as the guardian of their
liberties and demand that the ju-
dietary shall be made as free and as

be secured only by long tenure of Of.

the term only for cause which can be
proved before a competent and i'm

Making Ends Meet

s"If debt is to be avoided, expenses
must be. kept on the right side OF in
come DIR. Geo. c. Lofimer.
Under present conditions. many
heads of families are finding 1t IN
creaslngly hard to make ends meet,
while as far as making them lap a
little, that seems impossible, they say.
But that is what must be done IL any
progress or any provision for the fu-
ture is to be made.
Every man ought to know that II
he has good health but does not get
on in the world and accumulate some
, thing. he alone is to blame. The OPP
portunity has been before him.
The best helper In any mans life
is a good wife. She puts hope into
the heart of a man and inspires him
to do his best; she assists him to save
money and sets the example herself,
but she may not know how to save
/ wisely.
Lack of thrift in household buying
is generally considered cause OF
the hi Ugh cost of living. The old-ttHe
grocer never expected to sell less than
a whole ham or shoulder Of side
of bacon, a bushel of corn NEAL a
peck to bushel of beans, peck OF
dried apples. A ten-gallon neg of
molasses was q common sale, almost
never a sale of less than gallon and
when the smaller quantity was pur-
chased buyers always brought their
own jugs.
Now people buy 10 cents worth of
corn syrup and must have it in tin
can that costs 8 " cents to make. In
place of bringing a jug and getting
a gallon of vinegar for 20 to 80 cents.
they buy the same sort of vinegar in
bottles so it costs them 80 cents to 81
