not stumble like them. To become a
Judge, o Haf1s, the green cloth that
thou wearest around thy fez must be
ever unsoiled' is the law.
1T Is bitter, hard service. But they
who go through it untarnished are wise
when they emerge. They are what the
Koran demands when it says that on
ly O human being who has become a
true man shall dare to judge other hu-
man beings.
Hans Forster, the Orientalist who
knows the true Eastern Judge better,
probably, then does any other Euro
pean today, tells in recent work OF
his talk with the kadi Of Safed-a talk
which illustrates what I have said here
about the class.
"'"Poor judges Of the Unbelievers,"
said the kadi of Safed, Hassen Bey, to
me, after he had read several articles
from the Turkish law to me. and had,
in turn, explained to him about the
duties Of our judges. Poor judges OF
the Unbelievers! How often you must
suffer painful hours, owing to your du-
ties"
THAT was strange to hear from the
lips of a man who had been kadi hid
den away in that little hamlet in Pal
estine for forty years and in that time
had heard little or nothing about Eu-
ropean judges. When I asked him If
he had never, for even a moment, re-
pented his choice of a profession. the
aged man smiled and answered:
"'"Not for q moment. How can one
feel repentance for that which gives
him joy?" =.
".And that, truly, Is the secret Of
the judges Of the Orient concludes
Forster. They are peaceful. I know

STEVENSON ARCHER WILLIAMS.

Many qualities. almost all good. even

will be his strong card.
That Mr. Williams is honest all men
know. That he is an agreeable. courte-

that he is reSourccful, Shrcwd AMI very
Skillful in the many sided game of poll

know that he possessed. In fact while
men all over the State entertain the high

worth while to examine even these somp-
what more closely. There is very much
reason to doubt whether. aS n matter Of

the encouragement to voting Il mixed
new. At all events, it is not literally true
that voting Il mixed ticket is much
easier under this law than it ever was
before, though of course the fact that
1T is no more trouble to the voter now
to vote for some of the candidates of
each party than it is to vote II straight

effectively to the cl!couIa cement of mixed
ticket voting. But it is not simply the
voting of mixed tickets that character
lies the indcpU"G. M voter: he presents II

the voting for Republicans and Demo

therefore would he equally successful at
the head of the financial affairs of Il
State like Maryland
We know many successful country ply
SicianS who dcplorc their hard work and
poor remuneration. the financial side of
their profession being perhaps its least
attractive side. They would gladly en-
change the illy-reuuited work of Il labor
iouS profession for more remunerative
official position.
But it doesn't follow. that they have
acquired in their country practice any
special fitness for the direction and man
ngcment of the financial headship of a
State.
If this presumption be correct. we must
conclude that the nomination of DR.. At
kinson for the COMPREHENSIVE was made
more for political than professional rea-
sons.
In other words. he may be a very ex-
ccllent gentleman, and a good Doctor be-
sides, but it doesn't necessarily follow be-
cause he may be both, that he possesses
the business qualification for the import
ant public position for which he has
been nominated. Besides if he be a
really good Doctor. could he afford to
give up his practice for the Comptrollcr-
slip. the tenure of which place is only
for two years
We take it therefore that he has been
nominated because he was personally
acceptable to the Managers of his party
and thought influential enough in SOM
crset County, to keep down the Republi-
can majority in his county.
Now, unless it can be shown he has
ability as Il tinancier, or has had expert.

man like Senator DeniliS. who has eX-
hibited good business ability and has eX-
perience in public affairs.
One man may be as acceptable person
ally aS the other. but of the two candi-
dates. certainly the difference is largely
in Senator Dennis favor.

We think Mr.. Raynor and his fri21w!s

upon the tomb of William Granville,
repeated the Creed. the Lords Prayer.
the Ten Commandments and after
wards read the fifteenth chapter OF:
the First Epistle to the Corinthians,
and wrote two verses Of the same

number was afterward increased to
seven.
