Close your eyes for a moment, forget today, and go back to that long gone yesterday when it was the first day of school for YOU. Remember? Remember, way, way back, when your mother or father took you by the hand and led you into a school room for the very first time, and before a real, live teacher for the very first time? : Remember the first day of school again, aft become a comparatively “aged and experiencec + gevéral years’ standing, when you ran into the school yard and greeted old friends and jeered at old enemies, after the long summer vacation? And the first day at high school, and the first day of your last year there, when cager boys’ eyes were dreaming of fame and conquest, and tender girls’ tyes were dreaming of love and homes of their own? Ah, “those were the happy days!" And every man and woman in Seattle today has a very soft spot in his heart for every boy and girl a trudged into Seattle’s schools this morning, to begin another year’s work. For they DO remember! eA Long Island chauffeur who has fallen heir to $37,000 de élines to quit his job. “I'd die if I'd stop work,” he says “Money shan’t make me useless.” ‘ : It is true that the man who stops work is likely to die ‘Anyway, he might just as well. Nature abhors the superflu- ous, and soon cuts it off, To sit down is to rust away. Ne Nine people in ten, perhaps, would allow sudden acquisi- tion of wealth to end their usefulness, Here is one whose incentive to work is not the mere ani- mal need of subsistence, but the haman impulse to be of serv- ice to mankind. Here is a line that divides the animal from the human be ing. But how many of us walking on two legs and divested of tail can honestly claim to be on the right side of this line? "It would be impossible even to guess what proportion of us calling ourselves human have any definite purpose in life other than tc get all we can by giving as little as possible. Lots of us, when we think we have accumulated enough to keep us comfortably the rest of our lives, sit down and go to consuming it. Many of us have not even the good sense of the ant, but dissipate our substance as fast as we get it, work only to get it, and get it only to spend it. . -—~ Of course, we.can pooh-pooh and say we would do just as this chauffeur is doing; but the fact is that when it is put up to us, even in little things, mighty few of us make good. This man is wise in recognizing that his greatest fortune not in his $37,000, but in the fact that he has work to do and the heart to do it for its own sake. If anything were wanting to indicate the advisability of Bs ing Judge Hanford from the federal bencle at Seattle, he as furnished it himself, in explaining his resignation while that congressionat fireless cooker was doing its duty. “A personal controversy involving a judge, his friends and enemies,” says Hanford, “must necessarily seriously impair usefulness as an incumbent of a judicial office.” The self-starting, non-bucking Cousin Bill Taft would at once say of this, that a judge has no friends or enemies. This ) had scholar of would be fine theory, and dignified and not derogatory to the] on my heart.” ganctity of the courts. But it would not be fact. Judges are but human beings, and not the viceregents of the Almighty, as Taft perhaps honestly believes. Tt being true that judges do have friends and enemies, it follows that it is right and sensible that the majority see to it that judges friendly to them are selected and that provision be made to recall judges who prove to be inimical. Judicially, Hanford is a dead duck, but his last squawk is seally a boost for a cardinal progressive proposition —The Cleveland Press.
