CRITICISM OF JUDGES.

Judges are mortal, and while they are
protected against malicious slander or
libel as other men are, and while they
are not to- be interfered with in such
manner as to impede, obstruct or defeat
the orderly administration of justice ac-
cording to law, they are subject to rea-
sonalble criticism at all times.
An important decision is reported
from the Supreme court of Wisconsin,
where a Judge who was candidate for
reelection fined lawyer who criticised
his conduct on the bench. The Judge
delivering the opinion said that important
as it is that the courts should perform
their duties unimpeded and unpreju-
diced by illegitimate influences, there
are others guaranteed to all citizens
which are fully as important, and which
must be guarded with equally jealous
care. Continuing, the Justice said:
"Truly it must be a grievous and
weighty necessity which will justify so
arbitrary proceeding whereby candi-
date for Office becomes the accuser,
Judge and jury, and may within few
hours summarily punish his critic by i'm
prisonment. The result Of such doctrine
is that all unfavorable criticism of a sit
ting Judges past official conduct can be
at once stopped by the Judge himself,
or, if not stopped can be punished by
immediate Imprisonment.
"If there can be any more effectual
way to gag the press and subvert the
freedom Of speech we do not know where
to find it. Under such rule the merits
of sitting Judge may be rehearsed, but
as to his demerits there must be pro-
