because He Did Not Want to Take Adj

Judge Jim Griggs was reminded of
q story by the passing of an electric
car, says the Atlanta Constitution, and
began: ..,~.. r<
One Of the funniest things that ever
happened during my connection VITA
the Georgia judiciary was when was
t1rst elected solicitor. The demands Of
my position frequently put me in the
attitude OF prosecuting a friend. It
was hard, but did it. An ex-sheriff Of
a county in my circuit-a fellow that I
had known and liked for a long while
was prosecuted for making away with
some money. It was an ugly charge.
The evidence was conclusive against
him. When T went down to court he
came staggering into my room about
tWo-thlrds drunk. 'Jim,' he said, these
Internal scoundre1s are trying to pro-
secute me-perfect outrage. / told 'em
just wait till I saw Jim Griggs, an
we'd fix it told 'em we'd let 'em
know who to prosecute. And we will.
Won't we, Jim?'
Il looked at him very gravely, and
said: Tom, I've got dead case against
you. I'm going to prosecute you, con-
Wet you and send you to the peniten-
tiary- You are guilty. You got the
money, and I've got the evidence to
prove it,
HE looked at me in perfect amaze
ment. He was dumbfounded He said
1 didn't mean it. I told him I did.
He Strengthened himself up and march
ed out without word His case was
the first one called after dinner. The
judge asked him if he had any counsel.
He said no and didn't want any. He
spoke In half-drunken fashion. But
said the Judge, you are charged here
with serious offense, and if you have
no money to employ lawyer I'll ap-
point one for you The defendant
didn't like it. He arose with difficulty.
He steadied himself against a table
and, speaking in a maudlin fashion.
said:
Yer honor,I said I don't want no
counsel, and don't want none. Itmeant
what l said. I don't want-hic-take

mlnlstratiOn at Washington to which
they are indebted for their appoint
ment, and then step aside to make way
for others who are as new to the duties
and to the responsibilities of their
mission as their predecessors at the
time OF their nomination. Just at the
present moment the resignation of all
those who have held Office abroad I'M
der President Cleveland are being
on file at the state department., while
president Mckinley is busily engaged
IN the task of selecting their success
ors, and as usual the question-which
has become regular feature of each
change OF Observation-Disclosures been re-
v1ved as to whether it would not be
more advantageous for the United
States to organize diplomatic service
similar to that of foreign nations, and
to appoint men trained in the profess
sion to the Offices of ambassadors and
OF ministers, instead of adhering to the
present practice of nominating those
devoid of diplomatic experience.
Fifteen years spent in the foreign
service of European power, during
the course of which 1 have enjoyed
considerable amount Of intercourse
with the diplomatic representatives of
the United States in various portions of
the globe, may serve as an excuse for
oHerlng in print personal opinion to
the effect that the interest of this
country abroad, far from being in any
way injuriously affected by the alb
sence OF trained men at the head of
the missions, are, on the contrary,
benefited thereby. And these views
are shared by most Of the foreign Off
Gals, statesmen, politicians and court
dlgnltaries with whom I have had oc-
casion to discuss the matter. They hold
that this great commonwealth is far
more appropriately and efficiently rep
resented in the Old World by men of
sufficient eminence at home to lead to
their selection from among the candi-
dates for the post by the president and
the senate of their native land than by
trained diplomats who would owe the
Office to seniority and promotion, the
major part Of their lives having nee
essarily been spent out of America.
The distance between this country and
Europe is so great that even the most
patriotic citizen of the United States
gets out of touch with American ideas
after having lived for a few years
abroad. He becomes susceptible to
local influence, and, losing the broad
American manner of looking at things.
gradually grows to view them as Eu-
ropeans do.
This is apparent in the correspond
ence OF almost every American jour-
nalist who goes abroad to represent
his paper, and it is only by frequent
trips home that even the most bril-
liant of them can manage to suppress
the tendency to be unduly influenced
by the character of their surroundings
and by the atmosphere in which they
live. If this is the case with news
paper men, it naturally follows that an
American diplomat, who is daily and
hourly brought into contact with those
foreign bureaucrats and officials to
whom etiquette and conventionality
are gospel and the concealment of
thought, as we'll as of sentiment, a
creed, will sooner lose his American
breadth of view and freshness of mind
than the American newspaper CORE
spOndent.
