The Examiners bubble.

The Aberdeen Examiner, referring to
our quotation from the Constitution of
Alabama requiring the election OF
Judges by the people, asks why We don't
| go farther and say that it prescribes
that paeaneies shall be filed dy Execu-
tive appointment, and that District At
torDeys are elected by the Legislature
Well, now the statements are made, and
how do they impair the value of the
main fact that the Judges in Alabama
are elected by the people, and she has a
Judiciary as able as any State in the
Union.
While ON the subject, we may as well
quote from the Constitution of another
State on our borders, Tennessee:
The Judges of the Supreme Court
shall be elected by The qualified vOters O
tie State. The Judges OF
the Circuit and Chaneery Courts and
other inferior courts shall be elected By the
qualified voters of the District or Circuit
to which they may be assigned. Art. 6.
Secs. 8 and 4.
This was done in 1870 by conven-
ton over which Governor John c.
Brown (Democrat) presided, and which
was composed mostly of the real citizens
of the State.
Tennessee never had an ADLER Judi
CARY thHn under the present DISPENSE
ton.
While on the subject of an elective
Judiciary we are reminded of passage
in the second annual message of the late
Gov. Albert q. Brown, January 9th,
1916, in which that wise statesman and
beloved son and servant of the people,
who was always trusted by them, and
who always trusted them, congratulated
the State upon the success of the elee-
tive system. He said:
"0ur State was the first in the Union,
and perhaps in the civilized world, to
elect judicial officers by popular suffrage
Ii was bold experiment in the science
OF government, and by some it has been
condemned as calculated to corrupt the
Judiciary and endanger the faithful adj
ministratiOn of justice. II
But much the greater part of our peo-
pie are satisfied with it and wish to see
it perpetuated. ,eas among its earliest
advocates and experience has strengthened
me % my CONNECTIONS Of It's superiority
orer all Others"
For twenty-four years after the fore
going testimony was written by the Illus
triOus Common Sense statesman, the
system of an elective Judiary was con-
tinned and its wisdom had been 50 clear
y demonstrated that there were none so
foolish as to oppose it until the aliens
aid their vile hands upon it in 1869.
