Tidbotton Era: The Macon Tkeeubaph of Snnilay gives Judge Simmons a good ruspinc about his judicial canvass ns a candidate for Governor.

The eelegbafh is right. No man should be al lowed to use one official position as a step ping stone to a higher one. Let the judge either retire from the gubernatorial race or resign his position as judge. Houston Home Journal: The Macon TEUEsnAPH has editorially demanded, in be- half of the people of Georgia, that Judge Simmons resigns the judgeship he hold! or quit canvassing for Governor. This pa- S er is on recoxd on this subject, though we id not point our remarks personally. We cordially endorse the position assumed by the Teleobaph on this subject. The judic ial bench should not be used as a political steuptag-stone, and we have seen evidences to the effect that tho best thought of our people condemns such a proceednro. If Judge Kimmons really desires to be Gov ernor of Georgia, he must quit trying to Use his position ns judge as the lever to elevate himself to that position, Lawrenceville Herald: The Macon Tele (ibaph hits the nail square on tho head* when it denounces the praotice of judges of the Superior Court making electioneering pilgrimages throughout the State on the plen of holding courts for disqualified judges. It lowers the dignity ot tho bench and opens the door for influential attorneys nnd politicians to presume on their claims upon the official who ought to hold th« scales of justice even. The enlightened public sentiment of the state condemns this practice, and it would seem that theso intelligent gentlemen would seo the necessity of either retiring from the bench or withdrawing from the race. The old fable of tho dog crossing the stream with a morsel of meat iu his mouth may il lustrate the result of an attempt to bravo public opinion. CartersvilleJ Conrant: Our Judges are only men. Invested with the high and re- g on the lives and . . -men, every safe guard should be thrown around their posi tions and they should bo removed to the farthest possible distance from heated dis cussions, political scrambles, and all the rivalries, jealousies, envytags, hatreds and combinations that attend political promo tion nnd political aspirations. Every effort to make a judge a partisan should receive the strongest condemnation. 1’oUtics is more or less demoralizing in its results, and its decadence from virtue is more marked with every year that passes. No man can retain his seat on the bench in this dsy and time and ran for a higher office without b decisions. I am willing for me and my children to stay down here and let them and their children stay up there. There is room enough for I both of us between the big waters. Them’s my sentiments and I don't core who knows it,'—Lawrenceville Herald. ZALINSKl’S DYNAMITE GUN. Au Army Iloaril Investigating It* Clalmi fur Consideration. Now York ilerald.

A judge is intended for an im partial officer, but n judge who is appointed ‘ '* ' friend i " * “ ' Reese miles to the to decide between friend and foe,* will in all human probability lean to the friend and Rgainst the foe in spite of himself. The law incapitates a judge from sitting a cose where he has been relatec the litigants, by blood or has ever held the relation of counsel to either aide. Although there is no statute debarring a judge from running for another office while he retains his seat on the bench there ought to be au unwritten low in every judge's conscience condemning such office- seeking. There are several judicial aspirants mentioned in , Georgia as seeking Congres sional and gubernatorial nominations. Let the press of tbe State frown down any open disguised attempt ot this kind, and if tbe judges do not resign snob positions let the people rebuko them when they meet in the convention.
