A THOUGHT FOR TODAY. .
Be not overcome of evil, but over
come evil with good.—Romans 12:21.
Life is to he considered happy, nut
in warding off evil, but in the ac
quisition of good: and this we should
seek for by some form of employ
ment or by reflection. —Cicero.
EDITORIAL
JUDGE MONRO’S PLIGHT.
rVEVELOPMENTS in Columbus, in
U the dispute between Superior
Judge George I’. Munro and the
grand jury, in which the newspapers
of’that city have taken a decided
hand, will be watched with more than.
passing interest by lawyers, editors
and •the public generally throughout
this section. A glance at events as
observed from this distance seems to
place Judge Munro very much on the
defense, and in view of his threats
strongly implied in his most unusual
final “charge" to the Muscogee grand
jury, a wholesale citing of persons
for contempt of court would cause
little surprise.
Judge Munro placed himself in the
position of throttling, or attempting
to throttle, the Muscogee grand jury
when it sought to make certain rec
ommendations regarding the punish
ment of liquor violation cases, which
have become a sore spot in that com
munity. 4t criticized no court, but
Judge Munro apparently took unto
himself an application of the recom
mendations, which strongly urged
chain gang sentences instead of fines
which, the grand jury said, amount
ed to cheap licenses. Judge Mun
ro pleaded and argued with the
grand jury to eliminate from their
presentments any suggestions on the
punishment of crime, then forbade
any such expression on, the ground
that it would constitute interfering
with the discretion of the court which
he characterized one of the most sa
cred attributes of tift- court.
But the grand jury was persistent'
it refused to eliminate. And Judge
Munro refused to receive the present
aents.
The grand jurors then, after be
ing discharged, met and decided to
publish their presentments, regard
less of the consequences,, and did
so Saturday morning over their in
d’vidual signatures. The particular
re-'ommendation to which the court .
objected, was published in this pa- I
per Saturday afternoon. '
With their publication Judge Mun
ro’s troubles began in earnest. In
the same newspaper publishing the
grand jury’s presentments was a
lengthy transcript of his final 45-
minute “charge’’ to the grand jury
in which he laid down the law to
them in astounding fashion, telling
the grand jurors he was their Moses
and lawgiver, that he ran his court
like greased lightning and with un
erring judgment, that Tie thundered
the law and it was their business
to hear it and not go beyond the
law. The Enquirer-Sun, in an edi
torial of more than half a page Sun
day morning, fiHJowing some stern
but measured comment, Saturday
morning, administered as striking a
public rebuke t oa court as it has
ever been our privilege to read. At
tacking the conduct of Judge Mun-
ro as a menace to the foundations
of liberty by attempting to interfere
with the grand jury in any respect,
it went into the law on the subject,
showing that the grpnd jury is not
subservient to the court in such mat
ters but is co-lateral with it, and then
quoted the law requiring the find
ing of the grand jury to be receiv
ed by the court and made a matter
ofrecord. It suggested that had the
grand jury merely reported its find
ings, instead of conferring with the
court at the conclusion of its duties
and never formally tendering them,
Judge Munrp would have been sub
ject to impeachment for not receiv
ing them, regardless of their con
tents.
The judge’s charge was character
ized by the Enquirer-Sun as “bom
bastic and Falstaffian” and a fit sub
ject of ridicule were it not of so
grdat seriousness. It gave as its rea
son for attacking the attitude of the
court the fear that should he “get
away with it” he or other judges
might attempt such a thing again. It
declared that his. conduct makes his
re-election to the bench out of the
question.

THE dove again flew ahead of the
* Twins and soon they came to the
fourth one of the Seven Valleys, the

‘ All 1 can say is—come as soon
you can,’’ said the dove. “You have
a long journey ahead and Twelve i
Toes and his wicked relatives have
put everything they can in youy
path to delay you.’’
This sounded very alarming—not
that the Twins were afraid of dogs— j
they loved them—but what could the
bird mean by his words?
Away flew the dove to wait for ■
them on the other side of the valley.
Nancy’s quick ears caught a faint I
crying. “It's under the 'basket !”she !

Nick lifted it carefully, and there ;
were six of the loveliest little brown
puppies that any little girl or boy
could wish to see.
' “You darlings!” cried Nancy, cud- j
dling them all at once. “Oh, Nick, i
aren’t they dear! Don’t you wish we j
could take them along?”
“Yes,” answered Nick. “I wonder '
where the mother is and if she’d !

newspapers and the members of the i
grand jury before him for contempt, j
bor either he or they are wrong; if '
they are wrong, they are surely in j
contempt. Which none of them seem j
