“TheHighCost of Living!”-
I hat expression is coined by politics
for the use of politics. Io the aver
age man it has no meaning—-he is not
even aware of it. Statistics show that
at the present time people save more
money than ever before. This indi
cates “good times,” and that the in
come of the people is greater in pro
portion than the cost of living.
Perhaps in the near future this will
not be so Such a thing is possible,
and points a present opportunity. Keefi

it tor the time when living will cost
more, and your income will be less!

"f judges and. ju-
Hi
dicial decisions.
H would have been easy to be an op
portunist. to go with the tide, to out-
Herod Herod and attack the courts,
because many good men. without stop
ping to think, would have thrown up
their hats for what they had been led
to believe was progress. And tnat is
precisely what President Taft s politi
cal opponents have done. Seeking only
io promote (heir personal popularity,
and unembarrassed by conviction or
conscientious scruple, these opponents
have been quick to perceive the politi
cal advantage to be gained by espous
ing Instead of opposing popular clamor
The opposition io the courts, which
has culminated in a demand, more or
less prevalent, for'a system whereby
judges may he recalled, grows out of
ihe assumption, too often fostered by
men who know better, that In the great
majority of instances the decisions of
the courts are in favor of the rich cor
poration and detrimental to the poor,
tlie weak and the oppressed. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
Most Decisions Help Poor.
For every judicial decision affecting
and seemingly benefiting a great cor
poration. which receives extensive pub
licity and attracts wide attention, there
are at least a hundred wjtk'h benefit the
poor man. the weak and the oppressed.
No one hears much of them, because
they do not affect some great corpora
tion or interest, and. therefore, they are
not of sufficient Interest to command
the attention of the press
Over and over again judges have
rendered decisions in direct opposition
to popular clamor and which a large
majority of the community regarded as
indefensible, but which time has fully
justified.
It is tile independent Judiciary which
is the chief defense of the poor and the
weak against oppression. This must
always be. Waves of sentiment sweep
through a community, and popular im
pressions, too often aided by an irre
sponsible press, become convictions.

Fanned into passion, such waves of
■•entiinent find expression in lynchings.
Against such waves, of sentiment an
independent judiciary stands impreg
nable. But subjeci the judiciary to
all the political influence of the recall
ami no individual will have any re
course.
It is the independent judiciary which
dares to say alike to the labor union,
"So far shall thou go and no farther,”,
and to the employer. "Responsibility
tor this man's death rests upon your
shoulders; he was your employee, and
you shall support his widow and chil
dren.”
It is the independent judiciary which
dares to assert that a given law. al
though possibly beneficial in its partic
ular application, will establish a prin
ciple which would work tyranny in a
broader application, and must, there
fore, be rejected Judges are human
and have mbde mistakes, but their mis
takes have been c omparatively few and.
with rare exceptions, they have been
mistakes of judgment —not the'response
to political or other imprope)' influ
ences.
Perils of Recall as He Sees Them.
The recall would place the judge at
Ihe mercy of every gust of popular
passion. Men with no training ot no
special aptitude for judicial judgment
could start a wave of criticism which
would sweep the county, or state, or
country, and the judge who had ten
dered a decision in exact accord with
the law would be thrown out of office,
bereft of employment and disgrac ed in
the eves of his fellow men. ('an you
imagine that such conditions would
make, for justice?
The spectacle of the local political
boys exerting an undue influence over
local judges is seen too often, espe
cially in our great cities, Can any man
in his senses regard as progress a sys
tem which would extend these condi
tions to all Judges in all sections? Ot
can any thoughtful man fail to appre
ciate that it would be the corrupt boss
and the influences behind him who
would exert the greatest influence on
the Judge who was subject to recall'.’
Such a boss Is an expert in the culti
vation of popular sentiment. Therein
rests his power. Every facility is at his
disposal—the political machinery, the
organization, a considerable part of the
press," and funds almost without limit.
What chance would the poor man have I
to exert an influence comparable with
that ?
"Had Courage To Do Right.”
President Taft's course in vetoing tile
Arizona bill was characteristic. He
knew, of c ourse, (hat Arizona could, and
probatrty would. adopt the judicial re
call as soon as it became a state, and
1 that a pretext was at hand for refusal
i to act. but he knew too. that it was
his duty not to approve a provision so
subversive of good government, what
ever might come after.
He had the courage to do light. The
people of this country love courage
That is why I maintain that the* as
sumption that the voters will reject a
president of that character and put an
other in his place is an unwarranted
reflection on the intelligence and pa
triotism of the American people

SENATE REFUSES TO
MAKE WOT HERS POON
SUCCESSOR TO GRANT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—The sen
ate military affairs committee has vot
! ed to recommend immediate confirma
tion of the following military appoint
ments. made some time ago by Presi
dent Taft;
Clarence R Edwards, chief of the
bureau of Insular affairs, to be briga
dier-general in the line of the army.
Colonel Frank Mclntyre, to be chief
of the bureau of insular affairs, with
the rank of brigadier general, during a
term of four years.
Colonel George Andrews, to lie adju
tant general of the army, with the
rank of brigadier general, for a term
of four years.
''olonei Edgar Steevei. to be brig
adier general.
As the result of opposition by Sena
tor Bristow and others, no action was
taken on the president's appointment
of Brigadier General XV. XV. W'crther
spoon to succeed the late General Fred
erick I). Giant as a major general.
The opposition to General Wother
spoon was based, it is understood, on
the ground that he had not sufficient
line duty to cjuaiify him for the ap
pointment.
The highest point of woman’s hap
piness is reached only through moth
erhood, in the clasping of her child
within her arms. Yet the mother-to
be is often fearful of nature's ordeal
and shrinks from the suffering inci
dent to its consummation. But for
nature's ills and discomforts nature
provides remedies, and in Mother's
Friend is to be found medicine of
great value to every expectant mother.
It is an emulsion for external
application, composed of ingredients
which act with beneficial and sooth
ing effect ori those portions of tha
system involved. It is intended to
prepare the system for the crisis, and
thus relieve, in great part, the suffer
ing through which the mother usually
passes. The regular use of Mother's
Friend will repay any mother in the
comfort it affords before, and the help
ful restoration to health and strength
it brings about after baby comes.

VALDOSTA COUNCIL TO
BUILD CITY ABATTOIR
VALDOSTA. GA.. Aug. 16.—The dif
ference between the health committee
of the city council and the butchers of
Valdosta over inspection fees is to be
settled by the creation of a modern
abattoir. This decision was reached at
a special meeting of council. The prop
osition seems to suit the butchers.
Recently the council passed an ordi
nance requiring all meats to be in
spected by the city inspector, the butch
ers to pay the fees for same, and pre
scribing rules governing the marketing
of meats, etc. The butchers employed
attorneys to fight the ordinance. They’
stated that they did not object to in
spection of meats and markets, but
thought tiie city ought to pay for the
work. As a result, th/ enforcement of
the ordinance was held in abeyance
while the health committee investi
gated the abattoir proposition.

CHICAGO CONVENTION
METHODS AGAIN ARE
SCORED IN CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—The Repub
lican convention in Chicago was again
made the subject of a bitter speech In the
house today. Representative .'arS i-ton.
a progressive Republican from Washing
ton. asserted that Colonel Roosevelt was
illegally deprived of the votes of that
state. Mr. Warburton's speech was in
answer to those of Representative Mon
’ dell and Bartholdt, of the Republican na
tional committee, who recently defended
the Taft nomination.
He reviewed the history of the Wash
, ington contests and introduced into the
’ record telegrams from various citizens of
• his state who said the Roosevelt delegates
had been arbitrarily kept out of the
Washington state convention.
