PUBLIC SPIItITKD CITI/.KNB.
Any man who works for the iu
terest of hi* fellow-man as well as
for his own, ia public spirited.
A* iu nearly every other.good trait
of character, there are degree* of
public spirit. If a man only im
prove* hi* farm, erects good build
ing* thereon, and plants beautiful
shade tree* along the highway in
front of hi* residened, he reflect*
credit upon his community, and
add* reputation to hi* county and
stale. If in addition to this common
pride, which every citizen ought
to posse**, a man contriTmtes to
the building of well equipped
school bouses and splendid church
es in hi* community, he i* public
spirited in a still higher degree.
In every community, where there
are good farm*, good homes, good
school houses, and good churches,
there are well informed, patriotic
citizens, among whom it is a de
light for any citizen to live. Iu
such communities, the people are
interested in the education of the
children, the triumph of right and
the suppression of all evil. Not
only are they interested in their
community, but they love their
county, their state and their
country —they are patriotic. They
take their county and state papers,
and keep posted as to all political
and social events. However, now
and then, there are public men,
who get their living from the pat
ronage of their fellow citizens, so
little interested in their couuty
and state that they do not know,
neither do they care to know, any
thing about the social or political
affairs which are of deep concern
to every patriotic citizen. They
never contribute to the support of
the churches or schools, or any
other public enterprise. Such self
ish citizens as these ought not |to
be allowed to fatteu on tbe pat
rotiage from good people, as long
as there are more worthy citizens
to patronize. It is every man’s
duty, aud ought to be his pleas
ure, to contribute to the support
of liberal and public spirited men.
I
THE ELECTION OF JUDGES AND SO-
I.ICITORS-GF.NEItAI. BY THE
PEOPLE.
Many who have beeti so ardent
| in favoring the election of judges
and solicitors-generals by the peo
ple, have changed their minds,
since this method of election has
been given a fair trial. In this
circuit there was no contest, but
in the circuits where there werei
the results are uot as satisfactory
as was generally expected. The
familiarity and mixing with all
sorts of people, from the criminal
up, has had the tendency of lower
ing the dignity of the law in the
estimation of the people, and hb a
result a less regard will be given
to the authority of the courts.
The judges and solicitors are under
obligations to th& politicians of
every militia district in their cir
cuits, and as a matter of duty will
repay the favors bestowed upon
them in their election, if opportu
nities are presented. Of course,
it is uot supposed in many in
stances they will violate their
oaths of offices, but there are op
portunities at overy session of
their courts for favoring their
friends and getting revenge on
their enemies. Under this sys
tem of election, the men who
voted for them or against them
constitute the parties connected
with every case brought into the
courts. Under the old system of
election by the legislature, but
very few of those who had any
thing to do with the election are
brought into the courts for trial
before the judges. We are not so
strongly in favor of the old sys
tem of election, but it iB better
than the present plan. It would
not be difficult to devise a method
of election lar superior to both.
While in Atlanta the other day
we were told by one of the state
house offirfßrs how the present plan
of electing by the people had
worked in one county in a certain
judicial circuit. There was a
prominent man who had great
political strength in the county
that had violated the law. It was
just before the election, and the
judge and solicitor geueral were
afraid of him and managed in
some way to favor him, with the
expectation of getting his support,
and they carried the county. In
other judicial circuits equally as
corrupt methods were used How
can the people respect the law in
the hands of a judiciary who se
cured his office by the use of every
political soheme known to modern
politics, as it is claimed was prac
ticed in one or two instances in
the recent primary. Let the next
legislature repeal the law and de
vise a plan of election in which
every aspirant for judge or solicit
or general can push his own can
didacy on a higher plane than
that practiced in the recent cam
paign. As an evidence that there
is general dissatisfaction with the
present system of election, clip
pings from several weeklies are
given:
In some of the circuits the con
tests were characterized by a bit
terness and brutality that have
had few parallels in Georgia poli
tics, and a lessening of respect for
the offices of Judge and Silioitor
is of course one of the inevitable
consequences. This is to be de
plored, from any point of view.
When honorable and upright men,
ungroomed and unskilled in the
ways of the modern politician,
become aspirants for judicial pre
ferment and are forced to combat
on the hustings the methods and
machinations of less scrupulous
men, who base their claims to
support upon partisan rather than
meritorious grounds, it is a mat
ter of concern whether the purity
and integrity of our judiciary is
not seriously imperilled.—Newnau
Herald and Advertiser.
The first trial of the election of
Judges and Solicitors by the peo
ple has been disappointing to those
who hoped for an improvement
over old election methods. It
was predicted iu some quarters
that iustead of an improvement it
would merely drag the contest
dowu to the common level of poli
tics; that which happened in all
other races for office before the
people would happen in this also,
aud there would be the same prob
ability of corruption. This pre
diction has been amply verified.
The disgraceful spectacle of two
candidates for a Superior Court
Judgship engaging iu a fisticuff
has been seen, and the contests
have iu nowise been free from the
objectionable features of most po
litical contests. It is very neces
sary and important that the offices
of Judge and Solicitor be un
touched by even a suggestion of
political crookedness. The elec
tion by the legislature was not
what it should have been, no
doubt, but it was the lesser of two
evils, and the exhibition of the
results is enough to make us favor
an immediate repeal of the elec
tion law.—Americus Timeg-Re
corder.
Te next legislature should make
the initial move toward repealing
the law electing judges and so
licitors by the people.—Ocilla
Dispatch.
The next legislature should pro.
ceed, in short order, to repeal that
judicial election amendment. It
won’t work.—Darien Gazette.
The general primary on the 15th
ult. will go down in history as a
warm number. The judiciary
should be raised above such a
scramble. —Wavcrogs Herald.
Let's have a change in the law
electing judges by the people. We
want judges who are under no ob
ligations to any man. As judges
are plain human beings, they are
liable to err on the side of politi
cal triends. —Helena Hustler.
The new law under which judges
and solicitors are elected by the
people is being given a fair trial
this year. We have yet to find a
man who can enthuse over the
deplorable state of affairs growing
out of the new law, and there are
excellent reasons for believing
that it will not be a great while
before the people will be heard
clamoring for another change.—
Albany Herald.
Such strong opposition has de
veloped that an effort will be
made to repeal the law before the
time arrives for electing Judges
and Solicitors again. The papers
throughout the state are speaking
out against the present method
and calling for a change.—News
and Dispatch.
Electing judges and solicitors
by the legislature was bad enough,
but electing them by the people is
worse. We are oonfideut that the
one trial given throughout the
state haß fully disgusted the peo
pie and that some other plan will
be adopted, or eventually go back
to the legislature. Better that,
than as now. —Cuthbert Enter
prise.
The first election of judges by
popular vote is calling for harsh
criticism. The character of the
campaign haß been humiliating to
civil people. It bus been person
al and vindictive. Georgia might
make a forward step and bring
about substantial improvement by
selecting her supreme court judges
for life, or good behavior, and
selection of superior court judges
in the hands of the higher court.
You can’t keep a migratory judge
out of the jungles.—Madison Ad
vertiser.
KXrIiKSS COMPANY TO PAY ItKYKMK
TAX.
The United States circuit court
of appeals has recently returned a
decision enforcing the Southern
express company to pay the reve
nue tax on every express receipt
in Georgia, and not the shipper as
heretofore. This decision in favor
of the shipper is a little suppos
ing, iu face of the fact that the
United States supreme court has
held that the express company has
tho right to pass the tax on the
shipper. The circuit court of ap
peals’ decision, however, is not iu
conflict with that of the United
States supreme court, but shippers
iu Geotgia enjoy this speoial privi
lege because of the ruling of the
state commission, whose authority
is held to be unquestionable.
