MATTERS AND Things
FROM VARIOUS VIEW POINTS
Must Plead Guilty.
From the Enosburg standard. !

From the Enosburg standard
We are sorry to say that Vermont
must plead guilty to the indictment
of the acceptance of railroad passes
by its supreme court judges. The Gus
tom seems to have prevailed, so far as
our knowledge extends, since the
advent of railroads in the state. 1t is
practice not confined to Vermont
alone, but has been the custom
adopted throughout the United States.
In recent years, there has been more
or less agitation upon this subject 10
the several states, and it was gener
ally made itself manifest in the way
of legislation to prevent the dccep
lance of railroad passes by supreme
court judges.
4 few years ago the state of Massa.
chusetts passed law prohibiting the
acceptance of passes by judges, and
New York made it q part of its or.
ganic law at the last revision OF its
constitution.
We believe that the supreme court
Judges of Vermont are above the sus-
picon that their decisions are in any
way Influenced b. the acceptance Of
these passes, but we submit that 1t
would be much better if this cOur.
tesv extended bv the railroads was
not accepted. There is no Office in
this couotry that should be more
free from any suspicion of wrong than
our courts, as they are the tribunals
of last resort and their decision is
final We fail to see any reason why
the Judges should accept passes as
tho Iap pays than q salary and the
expenses incident to the discharge
of the duties of their office. We have
been informed that two of Nermout's
supreme court judges, nov on the
bench, have declined to accept passes
and have maintained this stand since
their election some II years ago.
We should like TO see Vermont
which is in the forefront in the solu-
ton of great many Of the mooted
questions Of the day take an adj
vanced step on this question and join
Massachusetts and New York in re-
liesing the court from airy embsrrass-
ment which might come from sus-
picion that their acceptance of passes
might influence their decisions when
litigation was involved.
Finally we believe that the best
interests of the commonwealth demand
that the supreme court being the
most important ard far reaching tri
buual in the state when the great
questions it has to deal with are con-
sidered should be like Caesars wife
above suspicion-tbat there may rot
be the least intimation Of the pres
eDce of corrupting influence.
