THE JUDICIARY.

Before politics became all mixed up
and the Republican party was cleft IN
twain, The TRIBUNE had sincerely
hoped that the personnel of the supreme
court of this state would not DC
changed. The court, as at present con-
stituted is eminentIy satisfactory; the
uniform tenor of its decisions is SOUND;
there has been no complaint of incom.
netency and no substantial charge OF
liberalization. Besides, the only change
nossible is the displacement OF Judge
Morgan. who, in our opinion is the
ablest member of the court. we are
informed by numerous lawyers sCaI ll
inc at the head of the profession IN t i
state that Judge Morgan's kno"isuge

HON. WILLIS SWEET.

Recently the Dubois contingent came
out with the announcement that Judge
Sweet had finally concluded to take the
stump in the interest of the Dubois sill
yer parties, plural number, sigular pur-
pose, neuter gender. 1t now transpires
that the Duboisites were little too pre-
vious. Judge Sweet will not advocate
their cause. He is of the opinion that
Dubois, in his own behalf, has trans
ended all reasonable bounds and the
Judge does not feel that he can uphold
him. He is reported as saying that
hereafter Senator Dubois will have to
hoe is own row and that he Judge
Sweet will look particularly after his
his private business. 1t has been man.
ifest from the opening of the campaign
that Judge Sweet was out of tune with
the Dubois movement. He has made
it convenient to be so oppressed with
affairs in the mountains around Flor
ence as to be invisible in the campaign.
The truth of the matter is, Judge
Sweets conscience and sense of politi-
cal decency rebelled when he sounded
the Dubois movement to the bottom.
THE TRIBUNE has not always been
able to commend Judge Sweets
political conduct, but it has always en-
tertained great respect for his ability
and now is willing to accord him a de-
gree of political conscience and integ-
Tity, which sometimes we feared he did
not possess. BY keeping aloOf from
the Dubois brand of politics during
the present campaign, be has shown
sound sense, and won for himself most
respectful consideration. THE TRIB
UNE's faith in, and admiration for,
Judge Sweet is renewed and inyigor'
ated. He has our hearty congratula'
tionS.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1896-10-28

smart politician. He has in the run of
time lost nothing of his prime virtue.
He stin has reputation as politician.
The only man thus far named for
Justice of the supreme court, who is
possessed Of every essential qualihca-
ton, is Hon. ID. w. Standrod, at present
judge Of the fifth judicial district.
Judge StandFod has been on the bench
nearly six years, and has been the most
satisfactory judicial officer in the state.
Two years ago Mr.. Quarles was his
opposing candidate, and it is notable
fact that Judge Standrod was elected
over Mr.. Quarles by an overwhelming
majority, not only in the district, but
in Mr.. QUarles' own county. Judge
Standrod has clean record, an I'M
blemished character and the reputation
of being one of the best lawyers in the
state. He is ever mindful of the public
interests, and has reduced court expen-
ses in his district to the lowest possible
point Indeed he has given the only
economical administration of the courts
known to the history of that district.
Without respect to politics, he is uni
versally trusted and respected, and the
only result of his six years service has
been to steadily raise him in the pOpu-
lar estimation. We honestly believe
the public welfare demands his election.
He has demonstrated his ability, and
has had sufficient experience to qualify
him for the exercise of the highest
judicial functions. He is safe and con-
sentative, while his opponents are at best
but experiments. His election would
insure the continued high standard of
our supreme tribunal, and add to,
rather than detract from, its merit.
Laying aside all political considera-
tions and regarding the candidates
with respect only to their fitness, we are
obliged to decide in favor of Judge
Standrod. 1t was our desire that
Judge Morgan should be reelected,
but as that can not be, our voice. in the
] puU4lS luhCAOSbS 10 AVA q uuBS DGahuAOu'
He is the only man, whose election is
possible, who is in every respect amply
qualified to fill the position now occu-
pied. by SO eminent a jurist as Judge
Morgan. We admonish the people
that experiments with the judiciary
are most dangerous to their peace and
safety. And as the supreme court is
the interpreter of our constitution and
laws, it is of vital importance that il
should be composed of men whose
ability has been tested in the school Of
experience and whose reputation is es
tablished. Judge Standrod possesses
every essential qualification and should
be a justice of the supreme court.

the nomination of Ralph P. Quarles as
the candidate of the allied Democrats
and Populists. We have not one word
to saw against the moral character of
Mr. Ouarles; We give no credence to
the attacks being made on his profess
sIonal conduct by the Dubois ciaquers,
Init nevertheless, Mr.. Quarles is not
onalifed by learning or experience to
satisfactorily fJI the Office Of justice OF
the supreme court of this state. He is
nnnuestionably very good and very
respectable gentleman, and probably
the making of an excellent lawyer, but
ba has not vet attained to that knOwl-
edge of the law, mental equipOse and
indicial discernment so essential to a
correct Interpretation of law and the
steady dispensation of justice. How
aver in our estimation, he is in most
respects superior to his opponent on
the Dubois ticket, Hon. Edgar Wilson
and while it would be hazardous to
elect Mr.. Quarles, the election of Mr.
wilson would be a genuine disaster
Mr. Wilson has always in the past beer
regarded as an inferior lawyer; gen
tIeman of moderate morals and very
ordinary native ability; but withai
