POINTS in POLITICS


but his non assertiyeness does not pre-
vent his being appreciated. The nom
inee of the republican party for judge
OF the supreme court is respected by
the people OF the state. lie is popular
with the bar. Judge Norval applies
himself closely TO his judicial duties.
Certainly N one can accuse him Of
lack OF concentration. He is not much
OF a politician, nor very much Of a
public man. Whatever distinction he
has earned has come to him through
his services as lawyer and judge, and
l imagine his campaign will be made
solely en- his official record l do not
know whether Judge Norv;l is an advo-
cate Of free silver, or believer in what
We dissenters from Organism like to
call honest money" In fact l do not
know whether he is for high tariff or
low tariff, and doubt if many repub-
licans know his position on these
things And it is well that this is the
cSse. Judge Norval has the proper
conception Of judicial dignity. He is
no stump speaker. He is not what is
known as a worker" And all honor
to him that he is not. There are
enough of us laymen to keep the
machine going without asking the
judges to get off the bench and put
their judicial shoulders to the wheel.
There has been in this state far too
little OF judicial dignity, such as Judge
Norval's; far too much of political
tinkering on the part OF judges. This
candidate Of the republican party has
always been consistent republican,
and he is proper judge. He deserves
reelection.
Opposing Judge Norval is a veneer
able ex-judge well known to the people
of Nebraska. Judge Maxwell's advan-
ced years serve to temper criticism.
The populist candidate, by all the laws
of propriety, humanity and health,
ought to be spending his declining days
in the peace Of his own home, instead
of doing battle in the political arena.
He has cared. by long service, an IN
molested retirement, and it is to be
regretted that he has seen tit to again
go out in the field where he will find
trouble and many vexations. II the
populist candidate were younger there
would be many unpleasant things said
about him. And even his years will
not wholly protect him. For Judge
Maxwell has many bitter opponents,
and those who have felt the keen edge
Of bis malice will not remain entirely
silent. On the bench Maxwell was in
dustrious and believe he was honest,
taking the word in it's narrow sense.
But he was vindictive. He allowed
himself to be reused out of that equable
temperament judge should always
maintain, and he had a way of getting
even or squaring accounts that some
attorneys have called persecution. He
was cratic and dogmatic, He made
law out Of his own head. Prejudice
sometimes influenced him far more
than precedent. The judgment of his
official career could never honestly be,
He was an impartial Judge"
Judge Maxwell has always inclined
toward politics. This side of his career
has epots on it. The republican party
vas not chary in giving him honors.
The judge took all that was offered him
and then when it seemed that there
