ELECTION OP JUDGES.
IVe have heard <ho objection made
to the election of judge* by the people
that ,u this way tito Judiciary would
get Into politick. It la difficult to tin-
tli rata ml, somet-tne*. that tills objec
tion .« made seriously and In good f.uli
by taon who prefer iho present method
of electing Judges by the legislature.
Those who do moke It eerloualy seem
Ignorant of tbo faot that the Judloary
fa Just a little in politico new. The
Telegraph has long been of the oplnloa
that the method of electing Judges
provided for -n our oonstitutlon to
About ttto worst possible. Every year
we sco an Important part of the time
of the leg-elaturo taken up with the
election uf Judges, solicitor* and other
officials. It la openly charged that
few of those eleohong ate controlled
by the merit of tho candidates, but
that the trading of one candidate's
strength for another's, In order to form
combL.nat.ous or slates, la the rule In
every legislature. The result hag beeu
not a Utile scandal and much bsdfccl-
iag. During tha last suite campaign
tbo charge That a legislative ring had
apportioned out the offices of the stain
found many believers, and wo do not
doubt did the Democratic party a groat
deal of damage. Whether these charges
are true • r not, tSo pivreut method of
election drags the judiciary tnto.pol!-
Cc* to an extent netcr before known
nod lias no Advantage to corner mate
for thl* misfortune.
We iMpe the caucus uf Democrat} In
the hvuiVature tonight will decide to
dri away, oa far as possible, with the
present method of electing Judges and
scUrttora. It Is not easy for any login-
latte* body to gtve up power, but tbe
arils of tho present ayst am have mani
fested themselves to strtugly th.t we

A few days ago the Telegraph said
that money ip more plentiful in the
money centres of tfie world nod could
be borrowed at a lower rate of in
terest than was ever known before.
The Jesup Sentinel does not deny tbe
truth of this statement, but attempts
to show that it Has no bearing on Ibe
situation In this country, hy saying
that money can be borrowed only on
United States bends aa collateral, and
the farmers tnd business men Have not
bonds to be used in that way. The
Telegraph, it say*, "knows that it can
hardly borrow moaey on all the land
In Georgia, if It had It at Ks command,
from tbe national or any other bank.
Whit other collateral has tbe farmer
or boslnem man in Georgia to offer aa
senility for some of this plenitude of
money? Its being at these money cen
ters, and not to be bad by the classes
that need It to use in the ordinary
pursuits of life, li one thing that Is
the matter.”
The business of banks to to lend
money and it Is also tbe desire of men
In possession of largo Mims of money
to lend It and make it prod table, a
bank 1* in bad. condition when entirely
unable to lend money. Tills being the
M*e, why fa (t that the banks will not
lend money on land as security < *»
it not because Uiey are afraid they
will not get their money back? Can
there bo any other possible reason? If
money, then, oondnues to collect nt the
money centres m the bands of men
who are anxious to lend It, but who re
fuse to lend at on lands, whose la the
fault? Is It the fault of (lie bank.
Which, though anxious to do business,
cannot afford to take the risks in
volved In lending nrai-y on lands? Is
it the fault of tho landowners, or is It
the fault of the leg.alatom who hare
made our land laws? Wherever the
fault may lie, the fact retnalas that lonu
fa not regarded as a good security for
bank loans, and that this discrimination
against land baa grown out of expe
rience. Time tmd time again it has
been demonstrated that the bank wh.cli
allows any considerable parti of Its
funds to go out in loans on lands Is .n
danger of being broken, because such
loans cannot, be realized upon qulckiy
enough m tnnjx of trouble.
Instead of complaining against the
Oaip.lfftfats and the banke for.keep.ng
their money nt the money centres,
where they can got Utile, for it, uud
therefore are making very small prollts,
the Sentinel should turn its attention
to the defect* tn our laws which de
prive our landowners of credit—that fa
to say, which tuako their land una
vailable td Them na a ba»s of m-dlt.
Wo are aware that there is a feeling
in tho minds of many men that prop
erty In la nit is something more sacred
than property In any other forms of
wealth. As long aa this feeling ,i re
booted In legislation nnd tho owners
trattlV of And U miile more difficult
to loose than tho owner’s tenure of
other forms of properly, then land
must pay the penalty at this advan
tage. Tho bwner gains in one respect
but loaca in another. Tho law make*
It more difficult to oust bun from pos-
«Vaslon of hla land, but for that rea
son he fa less able to borrow money
on the security of his laud.
If llie Sentinel will persuade our
legislature to eo change the laws that
tonus made on lands can be as readily
and quickly collcotcd as loans on rail
road bond* or United State* bonds,
then ovory man who owns land will be
able to get *U tho money that he la able
to sire landed security for, at a very
low rato of interest. Thl* advantage
would bo offset, however, by the cer
tainty that if be did not pay hi* debts
promptly he would lose Ills lauds, Just
ns under tho present law he would cer
tainly loay bis bond* given at secu
rity if ho did not pay hit debt. It Is
unreasonable to expect that land own-
ors can bo given certain advantages
over creditors and not to have to pay
any penalty whatever for that advan
tage. It may bo mid to be the uni
versal role that, wherever tn advantage

SHORT T ALKS
WITH MANY PEOPLE.
I met a big. brainy, prominent lawyer
on the street yesterday afternoon, and
he surprised me by malting tbe unqual
ified statement that Judges should be
elected by tbe people. I had thought
that the majority of lawyers stood Just
the other way ota this point, but he says
not.
He also remarked that very few peo- 1
pie understood the provisions of the
proposition ta elect Judges by the peo
ple. Some supposed that H would make
active poUtidens of the Judiciary but
ft^will be not neOriy eo much eo as now,
"A superior court judge to made a
servant of the entire state, nstpanslhle
to the entire state and elected by the
entire stole. Just as Is intended, but
not fulfilled, u nder the .present arrange
ment." sold the lawyer. “It to a much
mere difficult matter to prevent the su
perior court Judge of today from being
a politician than It would be under the
new system. As he stands today , ho
In embarrassed by paiKlcat Influences at
home, more or less hampered by the
threatening tafltietvoe'of the local bar,
sod necessarily to a large extent an ac
tive politician before the legislature,
which body muat efaot him.
“But under the new system he would
be as much a part of the state adminis
tration os the governor himself. Elect
ed ait the same time, hla qualrfi cations
would be considered In a like manner
and he would be voted for by a con
stituency far removed from local polit
ical influences and which' It would be
impossible to unfairly prejudice.
“The new system contempla te* a rota-
tation plan by .which no Judge will alt
on tho bench more than one time in
three veara. Trio proportion bears on
the face of It a guarantee of equity and
Just'oe which, to nay the least of It,
would be dlfncutt to secure under any
other system. It would, to tny mtnd. be
*• '" 1 v •x.vutbKf to Influence or
prejudice a bench so entirety unham
pered. and I feel satisfied that if (leer-
sta Joins the other thirty-eight states
of the Unkm In the election of Judges
by this system, she will 'have on able
Judiciary, a' purer and. better one In
every reaped."
"Why la li'that a fellow who has just
married will not register 'Bill Jones nnd
wife,', instead of ‘Bill Jones,' and then
on the next Une 'Mr*. Bill Jbnes?'" Is
thq question dork Bnqwt Morgan fired
nt me w I hung over the Brown house
desk yesterday afternoon. >
“Perhaips it is becaifee he hasn't be
come used to it and considers hla wife
of as much Importance as himself; or
else he has never registered with a wife
before; or. maybe, he Just naturally
likes to see,her name down that way In
black and white.'' were some of the
suggestion* I made. “But do they alt
do it that pray?" I naked.
"Every blessed one Of ,'em—unleis he
ha* been there before. Look at thla
couple here—Just married, sure s* fate.
Well, tt doesn't out any lee in my busl-
jeer, but Ufa curious. Isn't It?"
"It is." r
"In tho remarkable change tn matters

■ tion* and a stricter ballot law; In tho
goneral upheaval tn this state and else-
whir- the public hoe lost eight Of that
letter written by Marlon Harris of Ma
rtin, which c aimed men an uproar at
the time. 1 consider tt the primary
i pent from that clear-totted bugle which
patience has been exhausted, to abu»
him for not being a Job.
Ur. Wave! he ran erittolseS, rrtfr., be
cause the levy was made while Coi
Hughe* was sick. He knows very well
tiiak before tbe levy wa„ mad* he re
ceived this communication from me:
‘•We ore instructed by cur clients to
have their fl. faa. levied end have
placed the fl. fas. In the hind* of an
officer. We regret to take thl* av ion.
If the library will pay u» a part of the
claim w* nuy tie able to give you some
further time, but of this we canno.
speak until we have seen cur cltcnis."
The same letter wa)> «ent to Co:
Hughes. Mr. Waxetbvum also know*
that I was not informed of Col.
Hughes! illuesa until after l haa
placed the ft. fas. la the hand* of <ci»
officer. But Col. Hdglws ho* not been
sick during the lot live years, and 1
presume that Mr. Waxelbuu.u knows
well enouga that the state of Col.
Hughes' health hen had absolutely
nothing whatever to do with the hen-
payment of this claim. The library hag
never yet usked a single indulgence ol
WllderT Bona that was not granted.
No later khan thla very week they
have secured a postponement of the
cale upon the first application. The li
brary has certainly not distinguished
Itself tor gratitude by abusing Mr.
Wilder when he ts unable to* carry tha
claim any longer.
A* the gentlemen who have indulged
in so much “plain talk’’ are net dis
posed to contribute one hundred and
forty dollars apiece out of their pock
ets, so Mr. Wilder la not disposed t
do so, either.
As to Mr. Waxelbaum's contention
that tSe attorney's fee* are not Just
and certain threats thjvt an attorney
will be employed, we can only siy that
our claim fa open to Inspection at an;
time, and has been acknowledge,
through the public press hy the pres

Just and honest claim, which ought t
have been long since paid. We appro
head, however, that Mr. Waxelbaum

To the Editor of tbe Macon Telegraphs
■Dear Sir: In your Tuesday's paper
appears an article headed "The Libra
ry Sells To-day,'' that doea R. C.
Wilder’s sou* and myself A grave in
justice, ■ which 1 fully expected Capt.
l urk and Mr. Waxeituum would cor-

I can only take it that the reported
statement correctly represents them.
Neither tbe library nor one gentle

Notwithstanding all the lavoni widen

who are endeavoring to do nothing
more than collect an honest debt. Thai
