We will now have some good laws and first-class roads. l got my old buggy torn up, and al- together, was out in money and dam age about $6O, and lost about three weeks time. If had been elected your representative, I would have lost 60 days more and got just about my expenses out of it. The Lord blesses us when we don't know and deserve it. l thank my friends.
 You will find me at the old stand for business. As ever.

ROTATION OF JUDGES.

The greatest safeguard to a compe-
tent and well-balanced judiciary is the
retention upon the bench of judges who
have demonstrated their ability and the
judge, most essential trait-judicia,
quality. To depose a fit judge and tt
substitute another at a regular judlcla,
election, even if so conducted as to BE-
free from party politics, may become
in effect a judicial recall of the wors,
type; for voters who really know anc
appreciate Judge most deserving OF
act purely by guess or whim The re.
suit may be the practical recall of b
judge, purely through the chance OF
whim, caprice or guesswork, and with.
out any ground for change.
Tenure during good behavior is a par,
of the federal appointive judicial sys-
tem Such tenure should be approached
elective system. The opportunity pc,
iodically afforded by the elective sys-
tenn to depose a judge should be exer-
caution.
There Is, in these days, too much ten
dency to view judicial elections as ar
opportunity, to rotate some judge ou1
it is fallacious to attempt to apply the
theory of rotations Of crops to judicial
soil. 1t is for public interest that 8
seasoned judicial incumbent be retain.
ed. Judicial quality and temperament
grow with age and experience. A sit.
ness, should not even feel the DANCE,
just because peculiar method OF
choice at the primaries makes a COR
test by some opposing candidate newt.

A prominent contractor recently told
the editor that the highhanded and az
rogant attitude taken by the railroads
in transporting supplies is making life
a burden to all who are dependent upon
them. The limit of minimum car
weight has been raised from 10000 to
$4,000 weight. practically doubling rates
in many instances. No effort is made
to make prompt delivery He asked.
What are railroad commissions for?
First. we gave it up. Later we COR
cluded that by rubbing off an old bar
nacle like Judge Mills and electing a
live young man like o. Axel Hedin,
whose sympathies are with the shippers
and the public some improvement might
be realized.
