Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the Con-
vention:
Four things belong to a judge
to hear courtcousIy, to answer wise
ly, to consider soberly, and to give
Judgment without partiality. To
hear courteously, he must be ur.
bane, gentle and kinda good list,
ener-lending an attentive ear.
To answer wisely he must be fill,
ed with wisdom He must have
knowledge united with a disposition
to use it for the best purposes; the
power of judging rightly. Not sim
ply kaiosvledge, for a.
"Kmosviedge and wisdom, far from
being one,
Have oftimes no connection. Knowl.
edge dweIls
In heads replete with thoughts OF
other men,
Wisdom in minds attentive to their
own,
knowledge is proud that he has
learned so much;
Wisdom is humble that be knows
no more"
He must know the law. He must
be able 10 read human nature. He
must be honest, in order that he
may make a right use of his knowl-
edge. These things are essentials of
judicial wisdom. To consider So
berly. he must be without passion,
cool, calm and serious. 1
To give Judgment without par
tiality, is the first and greatest d.
ty of judge. To be impartial, he
must be without interest in the re-
suit of litigation. He must have no
personal attachment TO obscure or
corrupt the judgment. He must
have a pure heart and an enlighten-
ed understanding. He must remem-
ber always that he is the represen-
tative of Justice"
The GODDESS, with her balances,
should ever stand before the eyes of
nis mind and by her presence, Grad
cate all other feelings than those of
light. He should recognize no dis
inction between persons. 1t is the
fundamental law of the land that
Ill men are free and equal.
In the protection of life, limb,
,ealth. reputation and property, the
lumblest as we'll as the most exalt
d NAV call to his assistance the
aw, with all its mighty power. F
This power rightly applied works
.reat good to humanity. to society,
0 individuals, but misappiied, be-
ONES curse. Hence the necessi-
Y of pure and impartial judges,
Tho interpret and administer, the
aw, and in whose hands rests this
rest power.
