Defects In Our Method of Eiscting Judges
To he Editor Of the Dispatch
Occupying the highly-lmportant place
in our political system that the judiciary

10 secure judges endowed WITH the best
qualifications for their high office should
receive no small attention from the peo-
pie, and the object OF this article Will
be TO discuss IN the briefest manner GER
tain defects in the mode of electing our
Judges for the Court Of Appeals and for
the circuits. Under the present Constitu-
tion of Virginia all these judges-fiye for
the Court of Appeals and some eighteen
or twenty circuit judees-will be elected
next winter by the two houses OF me
General Assembly. The members OF the
lower house and one half Of the men,
bers of the upper house will be
elected next November. When 1t Is
considered that the judges OF the

In the valley below Attleboro the Ten

continued rising slowly.

TAXPAYERS LISTS.

Supervisors fn Pawtucket and Lincoln
Notified to Begin ON Them.
Chief Supervisor Blodgett has pre-
pared the lists Of taxpaying voters for
Lincoln aud four wards of Pawtucket
and notified the supervisors Of those
places to begin work there at once.
From comparison of the recently
printed taxpayers lists with the cor

that the registry lists are not the only
ones which need purging. A certain
district Is taken as sample, in
which there are seven dead men
on the list. five men on all
