By way of illustrating how diff
ficult it is for a man to remain
honest while III the Ohio legisla-
ture, Congressman Beidler tells a
story: A sturdily upright MEM
Der from one of the country dis
tricts was approached by a lobby
.ist, who asked him to vote for a
certain bill, limiting a handsome
money consideration. The indig-
nant member, who was opposed to
the measure, began to voice his
anger when the lobbyist said the
other side was spending a good
deal of money to defeat the bill.
The member at once said he should
not take sides at all. whereupon
the lobbyist suggested that he
stay away when the vote was be-
ing taken. The country legisla-
tor, thinking that was good idea,
did so. On his return the lobby
lst handed him $500 for absenting
himself. Gre at Scott!" said the
astonished member, sis there nc
way for man to be honest here?''
And then he pocketod the $500.

He was acting for the defense in

examination of the plaintiff asked
the following questions:
"You wish to divorce this woman
because she drinks?"
Eyes SIR
do you drink yourself?''
That's my business" said the
witness, angrily.
Whereupon the lawyer, with
face unmoved, asked one more
question:
Have you any other business?"

SHALL JUDGES BE APPOINTED.

The Atlanta correspondent of
the Macon Telegraph says: There
seems to be a growing sentiment
among the people of the state to
repeal the law providing for the
election of judges and solicitors
by the people. This is ii evidence
every day if visiting statesmen
are sounded upon the proposition.
The law now in force is denounced
in unmeasured terms, and from
what can be learned the people
have already come to the conclu-
sion that any change IN it would
be preferable. 1t is claimed by
the opponents of the law now III
force that the system of electing
Judges and solicitors by the people
places ths judicial department. of
the state deeper in the miro of
politics than the election of these
officials by the legislature, aid
that while there may be some OBJ
iectional features to the naming
Of them by the governor, subject
to the confirmation by the senate,
this plan is infinitely better than
either of the others and is calcu-
lated to elevate this branch of the
state government, and fill the
offices with better men, But there
is another plan that is suggested
that it is believed will be an I'M
provement on all of the systems
that have been tried in Georgia
This is to elect or appoint the
members of the supreme court for
life or good behavior, and clothe
the courG with the power to select,
when called upon to do so by the
governor, three or five prominent
lawyers in a circuit, either of
would make a good judge or So
licitor, as the case may be, and
then send this list of names to the
chief executive, who shall send
one name from the list tc the sem
ate for confirmation, retaining the
others for use in the event that
the senate turns down the man
nominated. 1t is urged that this
plan, if adopted, would place the
Judiciary OH high plane, when
judges and solicitors would be free
to act in accordance with the facts
brought out in the trial of the
case and the law governing the
same instead of pandering to the
political thought of the litigants
involved, as is sometimes the case.
The members of the court, it is
said, would not be opposed to such
a system, as it is to their interest
to have the best material obtain
able on the benches of the courts
below, as such would tend to les
sen the number of appeal cases
and in this way decrease the hnsl-
ness of the court of last resort
In this connection it is said that
Representative Dunbar, of Rich
mond, at the summer session will
introduce a bill to repeal the law
now in existence and substitute
another that will give better salts
faction, both to the lawyers of the
state and the litiganJs generally.
