Mr. Ulrich is a good deal like the boy who has Dlastered his opponent with mud and then objects to retaliation. When Mr. Ulrich qualified as a candidate for the re call nomination he likewise became a mud slinger, and it will be passing strange if Judge Robinson turns the other cheek. It may be the biblical injunction, but it is against human nature and the Judge is a real human sort of a fellow. Mr. Ulrich and the men he represents are attempting to besmirch Judge Robinson s reputation. Our old friend Shakespeare considered this a very serious matter and opinion has not changed very much since he expounded his, logical conclusion, "That he who steals my purse steals trash; 'twas mine, 'tis his; but he who 'filches from me my good name robs me of that which not enriches him and makes me poor indeed." In the estimation of the Enterprise the recall ma chinery is a good deal like a buzzsaw. It was put there for a purpose essential, too, wThen there is a use for it Still it was never intended that it should be "monkeyed" without just cause. It is true that the Judge has made some folks "sore" and it is likewise true that some wTho are making he most noise are ones who wranted the Judge to do things which he could not legally do. The Enterprise is not pretending to intimate that fheir ,acts are due to a spirit of retaliation far from it. It is just incidental that they are agin the Judge. In view, of the fact that Mr.-Ulrich has made appli cation to the people of Polk county for the job of county judge, the Enterprise is of the opinion that the public is entitled to know his qualification. He has said that Judge Robinson is not attending to the highways as they should be attended to. Very well. Will Mr. Ulrich please explain to his contemplated employers just how much experience he has had in road construction. How he proposes to finance his road construction program and what he proposes to do. These are matters in which Mr. Ulrich will find the public is vitally inter ested. And why shouldn't it be, considering the fact that it's the taxpayers' dollar which Mr. Ulrich proposes to spend a few thousand to even' get the job. The people are usually walling to pay provided that you can convince them that they are getting their money's worth. It will be up to Mr. Ulrich to take the people into his confidence to convince them that he will make a better county judge than Mr. Robinson. He can't do this by saying he believes the people want a change. It's up to him to show that they want a change and that he can qualify for the job. The Enterprise has been anxiously waiting for some one to give justifiable reasons for the proposed recall election. Will Mr. Ulrich please do so? Spray From Mrs. M. N. Porter field.
