ing the disparaging remarks made by

that if Mr.. Case is not a hero, other

The matter is worthy Of investiga-
ton. Perhaps Mr.. Case will write a
book. Without having any desire to
add to the woe OF a book bur

from asserting that such a book would
throw much light on the mystery of

THE SPRING EXODUS.

AT the beginning of each year the
lake region bulks large in the imagina-
tfon's eye as the promised land.
Whether when attained 1t redeems
every promise is another. question. At
least one proof that it does not break
them all IS found IN the fact that the
number Of those who seek spring and
summer in the country increases every
year. St. Paul is especially fortunate
in having this promised land within
easy moving distance. 1t is both easy
to reach and easy to leave. The region
itself may not be overfowfng with
milk and honey, but convenient trains
and trolley cars bring these promised
land staples to the very door.
There is danger, indeed, of too much
Of the city being carried into the
country. Many Of the male summer
commuters actually believe this, al
though, SO far, their conviction has not
Inspired them with courage to make
stand against the nightly bundles.
But Ii Is not the bundle brigade that
threatens most seriously rural life. H
It were net that conEentienality fol-
lows conveniences, the entire city
might be carried pieeemeal into the
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-05-08

has pointed out before, and as 1t will
continue to reiterate until the re-
sponsfhtiftys shall have been clearly
fixed in the public mind it is the bar
of the state which can and should, and
must finally settle all questions re-
Iating to the judicial Office. This is
perhaps the greatest end Of all for
which bar associations should exist.
AS there is no higher office in the Ie-
gal profession than that Of judge, and no
higher standard Of character than the
ideal that the bench demands, so ought
every man who loves and honors his
profession to be willing to spend time
and effort in, seeing that only it's
choicest representatives reach this hon
orable and influential station.
The lawyers OF the state can name
both local and state judiciary when
ever they are so minded. If a place in
a federal court falls vacant, lawyers
of repute and influence get together
instantly; the appointing power is put
under considerable pressure to select
suitable man, and is also fully adj
vised where to look for suitability.
But the judicial offices that are with
in the gift of party conventions usual
ly go by default to the best wire puller,
or are used as mere trading capital
by candidates for offices far inferior in
dignity and Importance. The bar can
change all that. If the bar assecia-
tons, local and general were to make
! the selection. Of the judiciary their first
business If every lawyer were to at
tend every bar association meeting be-
cause of the influence he could exert:
use all his personal weight to guide the
association in the right direction; and
If, then. these bar associations, COM
posed Of men Of both parties. as they
would be, should name a. list of can
didates for the judiciary, nom partisan
and determined by character and abil-
ity alone, the political conventions
would cease to have anything to do
with the judicial office.
The ticket so named would be sue
cessful even if parties defied it
and it were put before the voters by
Independent action. One or two ex-
periments Of this sort would be final;
and in fact we think that the parties
themselves would be rather glad to
get rid OF the task Of making judicial
nominations and carrying judgeshtps
Into the heat OF political controversy
No greater reform and no higher Of
flee, 1t seems to us, lies within the
grasp of any set Of men than the bar

taken out OF politics just as soon as
they decree it, and consent tor assume
the duty that clearly devo1ves upon
them.
