New Judges.

While we have no zeal in the matter one
way or the other, we believe that the agita.
tIon OF the formation Of new judicisl districts
Is premature, and that no such increase OF
the judiciary is necessary or desirable. II
the Judges do not clear the dockets and per-
form their duty as required by law. the prop
er thing for the members of the Legislature TO
do, is TO refuse TO re-elect derelict Judges
They should put somebody in the place who
willwork. ..'
II our Circuit Judges would attend 10 their
business there Is not the slightest need for
adding new and expensive machinery. The
demand for more Judges must mean one ol
two things. namely: That our Judges and
Solicitors are not doing their duty. or else the
Legislature is being appealed to for the bene'
1T OF some persons who want office.
That is the way we look at It.
