Several state papers, notably the
Great Falls Tribune, have come out
in favor of a non-partisan judiciary,
believing the best interests of the peo-
pie would be subserved by taking the
selection of judges out OF politics, or
at least not making the office one of
contention and strife. The selection
of men for the bench can be accom-
plished by conference between the
representatives OF each party and as
fair a division made as possible, the
choice to be endorsed by all parties.
We believe this plan should receive
general approval by the press and
people. The judiciary should be kept
above the mire OF politics. AS a mat
ter of fact the people have, in a meas
ure, taken a lead in this matter.
They aim to vote for the best man
for the place, regardless of their own
Or the aspirant's politics. This shows
a tendency and a desire to ignore
politics when fitness and qualifica-
ton are to be considered. This is
also frequently manifested in school
officers. The people want the bes
man i'm such cases and, although they
may be strong pa%rtisans. prefer to
give expression to their convictions
on matters of less vital Importance.
The judiciary was taken out of poll
tics in Minnesota years ago, and the
plan has given most satisfactory re-
suits. If a talented and educated
man had been selected for state SUI
p~erintendent OF public instruction by
a committee from all three parties
two years ago, Montana might have
been spared the disgrace of the
withdrawing court which con-
vened in Helena a few days since.
This high office, so closely allied with
the moral training of the young,
should not be used to pay past po-
litical obligations or for brokerage
in the perquisites allowed those who
do the official business. The judiciary
and the schools of Montana should
be safeguarded in every way possible.

 How can you get the public to know your make is the best?
 If both articles are brought promi- nently before the public both are cer- tain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgement on them and use only the better one.
