The controversy regarding the relative merits
of appointive and elective judiciary has broken
out again, in consequence OF the speech made by
Judge Jenkins of the United States Court of Appeals
before the John Marshall Law School in Chicago
last week. Judge Jenkins is an ardent advocate of
the appointive SYSTEM and says that, 'the principle
of elective judiciary. tends to weaken the
character of the bench to lower its dignity, to lessen
its hold upon that respect which is essential to
the due administration of the law and to place
temptation about the position to which should not
be subjected
In the foregoing sentence Judge Jenkins sum-
med up about all that be said against the election
of the judiciary And it is a strong argument. But
judge is bound to be subjected to temptation,
whether he is appointed or elected; and to change
the system would not only be confession of
weakness, but would in a manner cast reflection on
those who have been elected to the bench in the
past. That judges should be remunerated in CON-
mensuration to The service rendered no one will
deny for moment. 1t is difficult, however, to see
why an appointive position is any more dignifed
than elective one

How to reconcile the inequality of punishment
as it is melted out this earth with any conception
of universal justice is problem that has puzzled
many man. He'll most likely invented in an
effort to solve it. To cite an everyday example:
Smith steals bicycle valued at fifty dollars from in
front of shop he is caught and sent to prison for
five years; Jones, who rides to and from his Office in
automobile, engineers q successful stock deal,
freezes out the small holders, puts million dollars
in his pocket and is looked upon by large portion
of the community as shrewd 6nancier and clever
fellow Perhaps his methods are condemned by the
more respectable and conservative men, but he has
the money and goes scot free to enjoy it. Which is
the greater thief of the two which deserves the
greater punishment? There can be but one answer
Jones. He has, perchance, brought disaster on
scores OF confding persons, while Smith has only
temporarily Inconvenience one Or again.
perhaps A commits ofense and is punished for it;
B perpetrates like offense in the same community
and is found out, out because he has social influence
or money the matter is hushed up. Society con-
tinuay ostracizes one man for faults and failings it
condones in others.
The truth seems to be that so far as the in
dividual is concerned, external punishment is un-
equal and probably always will be. With groups of
individuals races nations-the opposite is true.
The man doesn't always reap what he sows; the
nation does, and in that way the scales of justice
balance in the long rum Nature seems to eliminate
the individual in her calculations He has his place
in the whole and his influence for good or evil is
felt but the machinery is not to be stopped to reward
or punish him. He is helping to shape the ultimate
destiny of the race and that is all
The most awful injustice of recent years was
slavery It existed for four centuries, and during
all that time men underwent lifelong punishment
simply for being born. But as Theodore Parker
