1t has come to light that Mr.. Wheeler H.
Peckham, who has been nominated for
justice of the Supreme Court, did not vote
at the special election for Representative in
Congress held in the Fourteenth New York
district last week, although he is a resident
of the district. A reporter who interviewed
Mr.. Peckham's nephew On the subject was
told: 1.-THE fact that there was an election
that day slipped from our minds. We had
not been asked to vote, either verbally or
by circular: and in the hurry of business
we forgot all about the election until it was
too late.' Mr.. Peckham seems to belong
to the class of good citizens who habitu-
ally forget that the highest duty of a good
citizen on election day is to vote.

Whatever else Is done In the making of
county nominations, both parties owe it to
the people of Marion county to nominate
men for judges who have the reputation
OF being able men and learned in the law.
The salaries of the judges have been in
creased to a figure where men of charac-
ter and legal capacity ought to be Sc
cured. There are offices which may be
open to the hustler who has no special
qualification for them because he can
employ a deputy, but a judge cannot do
that. If he is unfit the courts must suffer.
And during the past few years Marion
county has suffered enough. There are
good men on the bench now, but there are
others who are not well qualified. This
could not have been said Of the Marion
county bench ten or twenty years ago.

RIGHTS OF NEGRO LABoReRs.
ohm Burns Asked to Use His Influence
at the Denver Meeting.

Philadelphia, Dec. "a vigorous eff
fort will be made by the leading colored
men at the labor conference to be held
in Denver next week to have the word
white" stricken from the constitution
OF the labor organizations. Today's Isl
sue OF the Christian Recorder, the or
gan of the African NJ. f.. church, con-
tains an open letter to John Burns who
has come to this country from England
FOR the purpos of attending the confer
ence. to espouse the cause of the colored
men in the fight for equal rights. The
letter says in part:
In the name of the rights of Labor
we ask you to make some notes for
your countrymen at home concerning
more than 900 workmen in this coun-
try, who suffer the greatest injustice at
the bands of organized labor in the
United States. In the name of these
coiored workmen we urge you to report
upon the conditions which exist In this
country and to recommend that there
be no cooperation on the part of Britt
iSh trades unions until American trades
unions shall give all workmen in this
broad land an equality of opportunity.
The people for whom we speak sin
are not foreigners. They are not Poles
and Huns and Italians, whose condition
has already provoked your compassion-
ate and fraternal interest. They are
among the first Corners. They arrived
with he other first families of Virginia
early in the 18th century. Their great
and only crime consists in having been
born black.
"PoWderly made a magnificent stand
for justice at Richmond and his infiu-
ence began to wane from that moment.
Mr.. Gompers has attempted to do some-
thing. but he stands almost alone.
There are a few leaders like these who,
unable to inaugurate an agitation for
equality, would welcome from you d
fraternal word of warning to the effect
that they who would demand their
rights must respect the rights of
| Others"

MUST NOT ESCAPE FROM JUSTICE.
Connecticut Supreme Court orders Retria
of an Acquitted Man.

New Haven, Conn.,. Dec. THE text
of the Connecticut supreme court opin-
ion ordering a retrial of DIR. j. +. Lee
after his acquittal by jury for murder
the first record of the kind in the state
is given out today. Its main argument
is the point that the old English COM
mon law was so cruel that the judges
then wisely held that the accused, after
jury acquittal could not be put in
jeopardy second time for the same
offense. but now that the old law has
been relaxed. a criminal ought not to
benefit by the former practice and JUS
tice be thwarted by errors of judicial
ruling. The court Of five judges was
unanimous in its opinion. The opinion
was written by Judge HammersleY.
