In Judge Maxwells work on criminal law
he speaks of fair tribunal. He uses this
language in speaking Of Judge of court:
''The case is not to be affected or inhu-
enced by the clamor of the crowd, the press
ure of public sentiment, or upon the thou
sand or more rumors that almost invariably
attend every case of notoriety. There is no
nobler spectacle than that Of a Judge who
quietly but firmly, In the face, 1t may be, Of
public sentiment and popular clamor goes
forward and does his duty and his whole
duty; nor is there a more revolving one than
that of a judge prostituting his high office
to gain applause To the credit of the bench,
least one such to be found in Douglas
county. and his name is Cunningham r.
Scott. 1t is well known that he continually
plays to the crowd for applause. and that
he would sacrifice man or property for one
burst Of applause from the crowd which

| Broatch is very apt to get his wires crossed
| if he is not careful in the matter of promises
on the city attorneyship in case of his cleo
! tion as mayor. First he called on Ed Cor
nish and offered him the place. Cornish has
besn reported of having thrice refused the
| offered plum, and then Broatch made an
! other bluff. He sent for Lee Estelle and
offered him the place. Lee has been ostra-
| csed SO long by the dervish crowd that he
felt tickled to death and really thinks that
! he will be made city attorney in case of the
election of the Great Promiser. Then Harry
| Bronze has some hint that Broatch wants
him, and all the time this farce is going on
| Dancing Bear Dick Hall knows that he has a
| cinch on the place IL he wants it, and he
| knows he wants it. Any other lawyer who is

Edwards says it isn't his fault that he
doesn't know any more than he does. No,

to get away with him and ask for an impor-
| tant office knowing as little as he does.
