KEEP HIN THERE

In going before the people of Imperial county at
the August primary and asking them to Keep Him
There, Judge of the superior court, Judge Franklin
J. Cole do with the knowledge that his entire
record OF 8 years the superior court bench of I'M
perial county is of which any and any COM
munity might well be proud.
Throughout the entire years Of his service Judge
Cole has been credit to himself, to the community
which elected him. his profession and to he otlcc
Of superior judge.
In these days when many American communi-
tics are afflicted with judges who are Influenced by
politicians, Imperial Valley boast Of Judge over
whom no clique, political faction or class wieIds the
hand Of authority, except the will of the people as
written in the statute books.
California elects her Judges, and IN the main her
selections deny the accusation made by states where
Judges are appointed, that subjectihg Judge to
election At stated periods tends to cause those on the
bench to play politics.
Occasionally in California Judges are found who
bend to the Will Of the politicians but that happens
even where the Judges do not have to go before the
people at stated periods Tor election.
1t is not true i'll the of Judge Cole, who was
erted the office "lndependent for the first
time in 1903 and has been reelected twice since that
time. lie has remained "lndependent" during his
term Of service and Is as independent now as he was
in 1908
During his years on the bench Judge Cole has been
called upon try all sorts of and he has tried
them well. Sometimes higher court has reversed
decision, but that happens to every Judge, they being
human and as such subject to human errors.
For many years he was the only superior Judge in
the county and the population here increased did
his duties but in the same measure did his salary
increase. Some years another department of the
superior court created, relieving of the bur-
den from Judge Cole, but the salary remained the
The last legislature granted increase in salary
to the superior judges of Imperial county, and yet
they are oyerpad for the work they called
upon to do.
That increase becomes effective the first of next
year. and it would seem than just that Judge
Cole is the entitled to receive it. Support for
him is not urged for this reason His record is all the
reason any conscientious needs to guide him in
casting his baot.y
With clean record with years of experience be-
hind him. with the knowledge that he is absolutely in
dependent and that he credit the people of In
peral county, the voters of this community will be
only carrying out their duty if they keep Him

ing my tooth cried the cousin
mouse Il don't want my tooth
pulled, even if it does ache. :
Well, ! II stop the the pain
now, and later on YOU may chang"
your mind about having it pulled, >
said Uncle Wiggily, putting on his
bathrobc and slippers, and taking
down off the mantel bottle filled
with lightning bugs. This was his
flashlight or lantern.
Where are YOU going asked
his wife.
"Out IL the meadow back of the
ward to where the toothachc plant
grows. answered the bunny gentle
man. There is Il plant called var
row. The roots of it stop the PAIN
of an aching tooth when you chew
them and lay them in your mouth
near the sore place. Don't cry any
more, Squcakie Eckie, you II soon
be better.

up some of the roots and washed
the dirt off in the spring. Then
he gave some of the fine, little roots
to the cousin mouse to chew and
hold in her mouth near the aching
ttooh. Pretty soon Squeakie Eckie
said:
"Oh, my tongue feels all prickly.
like when my paws go to sleep. after
| We been sitting ON them.
THAT numb feeling is the tooth
ache plant stopping the pain, said
the bunny uncle. And soon the
little mouse child went to sleep, for
her tooth no longer achcd, and in the
morning she went to Dr. Bear, the
dentist, who filled her hollow tooth
so 1t would not ache again.
Perhaps there may be some var
row growing in your back yard,
and if there is YOU can stop Il

THE ABUSED PRIMARY

In theory the primary system is correct,
but in practice it has proved disastrous fail
ure,' says a United States senator. "The people
are not inclined to go to the polls and make
their selection of candidates.
For this reason, the system has become
enormously expensive, in the necessary effort to
create sufficient interest to get even small
number to the polls"
Perhaps this statement represents the prevalent
attitude toward primaries, especially senatorial pr
mares, since the recent 'SuSh fund.- revelations. But
is it right and reasonable statement?
Pubic sentiment tends to run from one extreme
to another. The popular primary regarded,
originally with eXtrayagant hopes, sort of cure
ali Tor political ills. Now sentiment swings back to
the opposite extreme. TRUTH as usual may be found
about half way between these views.
The popular primary, senatorial and otherwise,
designed to remedy definite eVll--the ellmna-
ton Of the boss system in picking candidates for po-
Htcal parties The old convention system illustrated
all we'll especially in the Of senatorial nomi
nccs, how mere political bosses without office
SponsibGy, could nominate candidates.
Often money entered into the convention system,
well as nsoent power. The popular primary
prcierrcd then, instrument to break the power
Of the bosses and bring the selection of candidates
back to the peoplethe of all political power
Every system has its weaknesses The people have
not lived up to the possibilities of their own primary
system The system itself does encourage lavish ex-
pcnditurc and opens the doors wide for mediocre
didatcs. But shall America therefore go back to the
old corrupt, rcpudated system of machine made con-
vcntons and boss picked candidates?
Obvious remedies tWo--limitation of primary
expenditures and health injected into the present
primary method. The former is up to the United
States Senate and the latter, which is important,
is up to the public.
Any political system is Just good as the people
make it, but give the people more chance than
Others. Popular primaries at least free and there
fore American Every candidate has his chance to
and every voter has his chance to pass judgment
nthe candidate.
How many citizens, by the way, who don't vote at
these primaries voted under the old convention sys-
tenn? Political memory is surprisingly short.

William Allen White, the famous Kansas editor, told newspaper story at banquet in Empmia.
 Perhaps" he began, "this story is a chestnut, but aren't all good stories chestnuts?
 ''In the town of Hot Dog there were two rival papers, the Blade and the Seimitar. The Scimitar came out one morning with this article in a handsome box on the front page:
 "A miserable specimen of human ity, all rags and filth, entered our office yesterday amid strong spell of hooch. He gave his name as Gama- Iiel Chance Mallock, Jr., asked for charity, and said that he had former ly worked in Hot Dog. But we had our doubts as to his statement, and accordingly put the fellow through a grilling cross-examination. It seems that he was telling us the truth.
