fool joke to deformer Voorhees,, who
wishes to allow the people no say in our
courts. Last year he got a bill through
which abolished them and made the
County Judges elective but the Supreme
Court gave this legal light a blackeye by
deciding that it was against the consti-
tuition to elect judges and that they
must be appointed. The bill thus pro-
vides for their appointment and says
the terms Of Lay Judges must end
April 1st. The State Constitution says
"There shall be no more than five judges
of the inferior court of common pleas
in each of the counties. One Judge of
each county shall be appointed every
year, and no more, except to fill vacan.

The oystermen in Cumberland Coun-

they are worth. A farmer who has an

off of which he may take hundreds of
dollars, yet he pays no tax on it. The
oyster laborers got a bill through the
Legislature which prohibits the boat
men from hiring men not residents of
the State six months, to take oysters. AS
the law does not go into effect until
July 4th, the laborers are mad because
it will not cause a scarcity of oyster

completely ruined by the pests. With in
