HANFORD'S RECALL.
Tin- <■ hi I of Judge Han ford's ca
reer. sad as il is, can result bill
in good |o the country at large.
Tin.' nut raged cry of I In* poop It'
lias al last brought us face to
face willi a venal, corrupt and
besotted judge, wbo, when con
vinced of his ultimate conviction,
resigns rather than face the fate
In? so richly deserved. II has
.instilled ilie popular demand for
Hie recall of I lie judiciary, for il
i- certain had Judge llanford
known thai he was subject to the
recall lie would either have re
sigiied years ago or else have run
on line> totally ililVercnl from:
ilio»i' lie has so brazenly and ar
rogantly followed. 11 is a sad
spectacle to -ee a 111*111 who has
long passed I lie meridian of life. I
who has occupied a high and re
sponsible position, compelh.'il lot
1 e p 11 own and out in disgrace. |
II has been said in excuse for
.lodge llanford that lie was not
venal in a money sense, by which
we presume il is meant lie was
not in the habit of auctioning oil"
his decisions. This we will bo
willing to grant him. Al the best
il would he a difficult charge to
prove, inasmuch as but few men
enler into such combinalions in
I lie presence of witnesses.
Mill we do know the trend of
.Judge Man ford's decisions favor
ed Ihe rich and powerful. II is
an open and notorious fact thai '■
a certain cliipie of attorneys were
made wealthy by reason of Judge
llanford's decisions. That all the
corporation business of that see-J'
lion of the country fell into Ihe:
hands of those lawyers because!
these rich clients knew llieir cases
were >1 s good as won when placed
in the hands of I h •• friends of the.
court. Il is sueli judges as C.or-L
nelius II. llanford, and such law
yers as have flocked about him
who have brought contempt and
contumely upon holli bench and
bar.
In fort unal e|y. Ihe forced res
ignation of Judge llanford does
nol clear the atmosphere. If the,
stories publicly told arc only par-J
I iallv l rue, I here are others who:
should go the way of Judge llan
ford. Judge lludkin. of the east- .
ern division of Washington, is a!
tilting subject for investigation by!
a congressional committee, if;
there is anything in the ohl-j
fashioned idea lhat a judge should:
have jn his composition some of|
Ihe elements const i I ill i ii vr a schol-i
ar and a gentleman. Kvidenllyj
JUdgi' lludkiu's depoi'l liicnl was |
sadly neglected in his early days.)
A judge on the federal bench
who j* given to tile use of foul.'
obscene and abusive language in
public places is not lit lo pre-J
side over a court of law. II is a!
fair axiom which says one who
cannot govern himself cannot be J
presumed capable of governing|
others. Above all things lei us i
have a clean bench and I lien there
will he no need lo apply Ihe re-!
call.

That President Taft has kept
(his promise indicates Hie pass
ing of the power of the national
coniimlleenian as a figure in po
litical Alaska. It is the first clean
thing done by the president for
Alaska. His action is as welcome
as it was unexpected. Had Mr.
ShackIcford succeeded in having
liis candidate named Alaska would
then indeed have been In the grip
of as malovelent a ring as could
well have been conceived.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Taft managers have decided to
carry on a campaign in Iowa just
for formality's sake.
It only remains for the returns
to come in to tell how badly
Wickersham is defeated.
Rhode Island is considered to
bo Hie only "doubtful state." It
may cast its vote for Taft.
The Americans who took part
in the Olympic games in Stock
holm were apparently all progres
sives.
While there is nothing in I lie
statutes preventing, Ihis aiipears
lo be a closed season for political
trimmers.

The trouble with most political
josses is that they look upos gov
ernment as an individual indus
ry, instead of a public enterprise.
While Judge Hanford is {slow

lon.'st folk are blushing with
shame.
The Socialist^ of Washington

'riior. It is unnecessary to stale
hat she will have the last word

tensions arid one judge. Doing
