The big interests have got what they want in this state and every other state because they had the ma chinery legislature, they named the judges. ““We've got to have the machinery to elect the kind of men who will really represent the people. We want the machinery to pass laws which the legislatures refuse t¢ or to repeal those which are passed at the dictation of special privilege. We want to be able to recall judges who let corporations write their decisions.” Hodge hasn't any press agent. He hasn't any campaign committee. He hasn't any array of state appointees to work and scheme and manipulate for him. There aren't even any old line politicians sagely discussing trades and combinations and appointments or any of the old line sehemes for “getting out the vote.” Hodge, the people's candidate for governor of Washing ton, is appealing.to the voters—believes in the people directly controlling their government. So he is going directly to the people. Candidate Ballaine’s platform declaring for the opening of Alaska for the people should strike a responsive cord in le.

Grandma Did It Herself New York city is in need of 100 good household servants or “hired girls.” The troubles of the housewife are endless The city has an official who tries to arrange difficulties be tween the employer and her help, but he is simply swampe in tribulation: He says the trouble is partly due to high steamship fares that keep women from coming in sufficient numbers and partly due to the treatment the girls: receive im many homes. the greatest difficulty lies in the fact that the “hired girl is assumed to have no social instincts and hence is given no chance to gratify them and that the nature of her work is so absolutely menial that it does not fit with the American idea.” ‘The modern woman has many advantages, but in one re- spect our grandmothers had her “beaten to a frazzle.” They thought it a fine, dignified thing to do their own work, with the aid of proud and willing daughters.
