IN DEFENSE OF JUDGE SHAW
Greensboro Telegram Takes Issue With
The Charlotte Observer.

Speaking of Judge Shaw, the Char
lotte Observer says that the only just
accusation against him is that he is as
cruel as the grave. To say that a
judge is as cruel as the grave is of
course Il criticism that has to be con
sidered by all persons who have any
thing to do with the choice of a man
for judgeship, But we do not believe
the criticism can be sustained. No
body could have heard Judge Shaw in
a mems mass meeting held here Sun
day discussing the causes and effects
of crime and the remedies fol~ it and
have believed it possible that the man
before them was as cruel as the grave.
There is no cruelty in Judge Shaw's
nature. On the contrary we doubt if
there is a judge in the state who has
a greater compassion for the erring.
He believes that crime should be pun-
ished and he Furnishes it, but that is
justice not cruelty.-Greensboro Tel
egram.

Southern now runs daily from Sails

This Interstate jug business Is in

MOTT AND HIS OFT IL.

Nearly two Years ago Marshall L.
Mott of this state was appointed at
torney TO the Creek nation in Oklaho-
ma. He has never been able to get
possession of the office or of any of the
salary attached to the same. Natural
ly, he has grown tired waiting for the
plum, which he's been ripe for two
years, to fall. He has at last appealed
TO the presic mt for justice. The gen.
tleman canI,Jt be blamed for becoming
a little FESTIVE under such delay.
The Raleigh Posts Washington cor
respondent writes this regarding the
case:
1t became known today tina Mar
shall l.. Mott. formerly Of North Car
olfna. who has so far failed to land his
job as attorney to the Creek ndian
in the Indian Territory. has filed a
protest with the president practically
charging the existence of a conspiracy
to prevent him from connecting with
his position. The charge made direct
to the president is leveled at Judge
Raymond. before whom the legal
status of the case involving Mr.. Motifs
title to office is pending. That official
is accused of permitting delays which
otherwise would have resulted in a iu-
dicial determination Of the issues in
volved. Mr.. Mott indicates that Judge
Raymond has conSpired with his pred
ecessor in office TO keep him from as
Stunning the duties of attorney to the
Indians. Mr.. Mott received his APP
pointment nearly two years ago.. and
the man he was appointed to
succeed has beer elected a member of
congress from Missouri he is not able
to get the benefit of the salary of the
office. The protest. which was sent
to the president at Oyster Bay. was
turned over to the secretary of the in
terror for investigation by executive
order. This Investigation. which has
been going on for several days. has
reached the department of Justice.
where the papers in the case have
been referred.
With such an army OF hungry office
seekers of these days many are neces-
sarily disappointed, but it is Il double
disappointment to a man, who, after
getting his appointment, has to wait
two years or m~ore-before he can begin
to enjoy tie spending of the salary.
Mr.. Mott has our sympathy. He is to
be pitied.
