The recall of federal judges
may some day become a law. Tho
matter of a life tenure for the
Fnited Slates district judges has
proven a bad policy. Federal
judges, as a rule, have grown too
arrogant, and their repeated de
cisions in favor of the trusts have
cast a suspicion on many them
that they might at least bo
susceptible of being "influenced."

If James 1. Reynolds is not
elected to the oil'ce of clerk of tho
district court it will bo because
the people of Cass county do not
know the man and have not learn

the position. In section of tho
county that he has visited he has
made oceans of friends by his
gentlemanly deportment. You see
Jim Reynold today as you will
see him every day a gentleman
and a scholar.

There can be no disputing the
fact that never in the history ol
Cass county vvns there, a inore
elllciont man in Ihe county clerk's
olllce than Clell Morgan. He is
not only efficient, but is just as
clever and accommodating as he
is clllcient, and these are reasons
why ho should be allowed to servo
Ihe people another term.

Tho campaign is drawing rapid
ly t, a close and the Journal has
not been compelled lo call atten
tion to any roorbacks set afloat,
and as the election is but a little
over two weeks off we hope the
campaign will proceed lo the end
without any attempted dirty work
on either side. A candidate that
'resorts to falsehoods should not
be elected.
:o:
From top to bottom the ticket
at tho head of the Journal is
composed of citizens admirably
adopted for tho offices which they
seek. It is a very cv ident fact that
the voter of Cass county are go
ing to support the best and safes!
candidates for the positions, and
as long as they do this we are

The nearer the approach of
election day the more the voters
come to the conclusion that they
will support Kelly Fox for county
treasurer. They know he is
abundantly able to take care of
tho office, and in such a manner
as not only to reflect credit upon
his business qualities, but to the
admiration of every taxpayer in
Cass county. A vote for W. K.
Fox means a vole for a man whom
the people know is all right for the
oflicc of treasurer.

It will be an awful hard job to
convince the sober-thinking farm
ers that it will be to their in
terests to vote for this candidate
because he is a republican or that
candidate because he is a demo
crat. The ones who attempt to do
this do not give the farmers
credit for having much judgment.
Hut they have sufficient judgment
lo vote for a candidate because
I hey feel that he ts a man in whom
they can place the utmost con
fidence, is a good citizen and well
fitted for the position for which
he is a candidate. It makes but
little difference lo the average
voter what a man is politically, so
he is worthy and has not held
olllce already too long.
:o:
Clell Morgan was reared right
here in Plattsmouth, and for many
years he was an employe of the
Burlington railway, and then he
was employed as clerk in the
clothing store of his brother,
Frank, until that gentleman
passed away. In every capacity
he has served he has proven a
faithful assistant and bore the
respect and confidence of the peo
ple with whom he had dealings.
Willi the building of Ihe post-
ofllce, the construction of the j That's just what he is doing in the
county's clerk's ofllce. He is a

season. Then there has been

mirably that we have cause to rejoice.
:o:-
W. K. Fox is making many
friends by his gentlemanly man
ners in making his campaign. He
is the same Kelly Fox today as
you will see him tomorrow and
every oilier day. Ho not only pos
sesses gentlemanly qualities, but
he also possesses every attribute
that a man should possess to
make an efficient and faithful pub
lic servant of the people. There
is no man in Cass county more
competent or reliable lo perform
tho duties of county treasurer
than W. K. Fox. It is well to
make a note of this fact, and ex
amine his record.

Taft is, by several of the ties
that bind, committed to the theory
of protection. The peril of his
confinement is found in the fact
that the country never has voted
upon the protective tariff idea
when that theory was clearlv
separated from other issues. The
masses now know that there is no
longer reason to protect Ameri-
an industries. Labor equally well
knows that the toiling millions do
not get an advantage from the
manufacturers' enhanced prices
and profits. The democracy will
see to it lhat President Tuft races
the issues as he has made it. and

At the recent primary election
the democrats of the state chose
James H. Dean as one of their
candidates for the supreme bench.
Mesides being a polished gentle
man, he is a man of great legal
ability and not a wordjflotriiuental
lo his good moral character can
bo said. While a member of the
supremo court Judge Dean won a
place in the hearts of the people
by his fearlessness in rendering
decisions. A number of import
ant political questions arose dur
ing his incumbency, and Judge
Dean showed tho value of his bi
partisan mind when acting for the
people in the important and re
sponsible position he occupied.
Judge Dean has the endorsement
of every democratic newspaper in
tho slate, as well as that of many
republican and independent pub
lications. As far as capability is
concerned, there are few men in
Nebraska of equal ability for the
very Important position of judge
of the supreme court.
