BURNS DOWNS THE COURT.
The New Capitol Keeper Knocks Out
the Supreme Court Judges.


Ex-senator Westmoreland, of David
son county, has a commission in his in
side pocket that calls for fair-size slice
of pie. The two terms: Senator and
Janitor, don't quite jingle and when each
are worn by one person there is what the
women would call a lack Of harmony,
but this is the kind of official costume
that adorns the person Of the ex-senator
from Davidson, and the new janitorial
rutfie has Just been sewed on to the fraz-
zled Senatorial skirts of the Dividson
statesman by Capitol Keeper Burns,
in the face of the most earn
est and most spirited protest from
the members of the Supreme court.
Mr.. Sam'l Walker, an efficient, upright
citizen of Raleigh, has been for years
wearing the janitorial robe of the Su-
preme court building. The judges all
thought that the costume fitted Walker
to L. and they knew that Walker
took the best of care of the janitorial
robe and Of the building. Kept both,

and therefore the Supreme court said:
Let him alone" and Judge Montgomery,
particularly, was pleased with the ami
able, agreeable, efficient and deserving
Janitor. But there are some things that
a Supreme court judge can do and other
things that he cannot do. He can sift
out of the intricaies of law, opinions
that will bind States and nations. He
can pass upon question and issues in
volving even the very lives of men. He
can settle forever, questions involving
millions of dollars. He can define stat
utes, apply the Constitution and declare
laws legal or illegal, but when it comes
to appointing or retaining a Janitor
even their opinions or judgments are not

has commission in his pocket for Sam
Walkers little job.
The appointing power is i'll the Council

but even here the influence of
the high tribunal had some weight and
on a vote the Council of State was a
tie on the question whether Walker
should walk the plank. But Attorney
General Walser wanted the job for
his Davidson fellow statesman, court
