CAST O R I A
THE DALTON ARGUS, DALTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST»I7, 1911
JUDGE HIE HANDED
MOTO HIT ONI
The Rule Nisi case in Judge Fite’s
court here in Dalton has been the sub
ject of much comment by the press in
general and particularly the Georgia
papers in the north end of the state
where the judge is personally known
but here is one from The Chattanooga
Tinies of August 9th, which editor
ially says:
MR. FITE AGAIN.
In a string of self-eulogy which
Judge Augustus Fite, of the Chero
kee circuit, north Georgia, interpo
lated in his charge to the grand jury
of Catoosa county at Ringgold on
Monday, occurred this reported state
ment :
But if ever there was a paper
that has been thoroughly subsi
dized by the “whiskey trust”
it is the Chattanooga Times. It
defends the whisky trust on any
and all occasions. I rarely ever
read this sheet unless some friend
hands me a copy with some little
squib about me or about the af
fairs of my circuit in it.
If this is a correct report of what
the judge said, he sets himself down
as not only a falsifier, but as a mali
cious slanderer. We do not believe he
said it as reported, because he is too
smart for that, but he undoubtedly
intended to convey that meaning, ad
vertently leaving himself a loophole
to escape a charge of criminal libel,
which his language would justify.
We’ll bet Editor Shope, of Dalton, a
gingercake that his “Mister.” Fite
will deny having made the categorial
statement about The Times above
quoted by a correspondent, but that
he will take refuge behind some quali
fying words he will declare the quota
tion does not contain. Either that,
or he thinks what a judge may say
is privileged, which is not, we believe,
under the federal law protecting the
good name of the United States cit
izen. Perhaps our friend Shope will
dare “Mr.” Fite to put his signature |
to the charge quoted above; we would
do it but “Mr.” Fite says he does
not read The Times, a fact that may
account for the narrowness of his
mental vision and the barrenness of
his familiarity with thd, goings-on of
the work-a-day world. Mr. Fite sees
only the things in his own little sphere
and is obsessed yith the idea that he
is the be-all and the end all in his
judicial circuit.
Apropos of these Fite incidents of ,
the past few days, one of the most .
conservative and higly esteemed mem- i
[hers of the local bar sends us the fol
■ lowing commendatory message:
Congratulations on your edi
torial, “The Shope-Fite *Case,”
in yesterday's Times. Judges
have altogether too much power
to wreck personal vengeance un
der the forms of law for alleged
contempt of court. They can do
what a president of the United
States or a king of Great Britain
cannot do. Respect for the office
and obedience to judicial decis
ions in lawsuits is one thing, the
taking of personal revenge by the
man who happens to hold the po
sition of judge is quite another.
It is for the public to decide whe
ther Mr. Fite measures up to the
dignity, manly poise and equable tem
perament the American ideal of a
judicial officer requires. The man
who uses language in his judicial ca
pacity he would be condemned for
using in a parlor or in the presence
of ladies, or who utters charges he '
cannot sustain against his fellow cit- ■
izens, may be all right in his own es
timation, but we’ll venture the as
sertion that the intelligent and con
servative people of his circuit would ,
feel safer if he were more of a
judge and less of a self-exploiting
person.
Give Dalton a chance and watch her
grow.
