AMERICAN JUDGES.

= mon FLEISCHMANN OF Buffalo
- recently read before the New
ork Bar association an exhaustive
PAPER on The influence Of the Bar in
the Selection OF Judges" Mr. F'leisch-
MANN had been il correspondence with
lawyers in every state in the Union
and ne gave the result Of his inquiries
TO his fellow practitioners. His con-
illusions regarding the Utah bench
were as follows:
Political influence and activity are
controlling factors in selection. 'modi-
ned i'm the words OF one correspondent,
by acceDtability to the dominant &C.
clesiastical organization Of the state,
the Mormon church Correspondents
differ as to the extent to which the
judges are competent and impartial,
and as to the degree OF confidence they
have on the part OF bar and public. the
average sentiment being rather uu-
!. favorable on all of these points. The
men best fitted are not as rule, on
the bench. The lawyers exert little or
no influence in selection"
The worst feature about this esti-
mate of the Utah bench is that it is
fairly accurate. And a large part of
our bench troubles is due directly to
the fact that no man can be elected
to a jUdgeship in this. state who will
not engage. to a greater or less extent
I'm miserable partisan politics. both
before the convention and during the
campaign Mr. FIeisChmann found that
tho states i'm which the judges are most
satisfactory i'm all respects are the
states in which the occupants OF the
bench are appointed. This rule pre-
walls i'm Connecticut. Delaware, Maine,
Massachusetts, Mississippi. New
Hampshire. New Jersey. and. 10 j linn
afted extent. i'm Florida. In the states
!. pr Rhode Island. South Carolina, Yer
PiaSct and Virginia the Judges are
elected by the joint assembly of the
legislature.
Mr. Fleischmanns description OF the
Massachusetts, bench applies to prac-
Ideally All of the appointive benches. 1t
i, as follows:
Legal ability. success At bar and
personal character almost entirely
determine selection: political activity
and influence seldom have any bear
Ing. and when they do. ability and
character must stin he predominant.
Judges thoroughly competent and i'm
partial ana enjoy highest confidence Of
bar and public. As q rule. men thor
nughly fitted for bench are appointed.
Enough some OF the ablest lawyers
would not accept judicial positions,
lpwing TO financial sacrifice involved.
Lawyers do not collectively or through
Bar associations seek to exert any in
eHuence in the selection, because this
Is found unnecessary, but they iunU-
ence such selections by recommended
stions to governor. There is no occa-
: sion Tor bar to exercise any contrOll-
ing influence In the selection of judges
i'm Massachusetts, as the appOintive
system there works 10 entire satisfaC-
iiou Of state"
While it is not true that all APP
lainIy is true that the average of ap-
pointed judges are 5ood men, it Ger
pointed judges is very much higher
than the average of elected judges.
The surprising thing is that more
states have not adopted the appoiutive
systcm.

THE COLOR LINE.

n NE OF THE REMARKA BILE con-
" tributions to the discussion of the
negro problem in America is THE
Color Line, a book by Professor Will
liam Benjamin Smith. The author is
one of the faculty i'm a southern col
leSe and has made the subject an ex-
haustive study along scientific lines.
His most startling conclusion. backed
by almost conclusive data. is that the
color question will solve itssIr uIti-
mateIy by the decrease Of the negro
race to insignificant numbers. He
presents facts which show that the
Influences of modern civilized life on
the negro. when he is free from re-
stTaint, inevitably overpower him, Just
as they do the Indian. because ne is
physically incapable Of withstanding
their effect
Naturally. Professor Smith docs not
expect this extinction to materialize
soon or suddenly. since statistics show
a heavy increase in the negro popu-
Iation in the United States and the
birth rate is large; but those who have
seen the coIored people succumb to the
evils and Influences of life in the
cities, arc inclined to concur in the
conclusion that eventually the white
rare will supplant the negro in the
south.
This is more probable because the
introduction o. manufactures IN the
southern states has brought a con
ceutratiou of the laboring population
iu the manufacturing communities and
surrounded them with conditions that
mean a heavy mortality at best. The
negro does not like cold and his aver
sion to ventilation iu work shop OF
sleeping rooms is a proVerb. 1t nat
uraIy follows that pulmonary disease
finds him an easy victim. and the
death rate from such causes is con-
stantly increasing.
1t is unlikely the race viii die out
noticea bly, within the century. but un-
less a radical change is Effected in the
natural tendencies of the coloFed- peo-
pie. they must ultimately succumb 10
the law of the survival OF the fttest.

THE WORLDS NEWSPAPERS.

Among European countries, accord
ing to the Revue Hebdomadaire, Ger
may stands at the head with $500
newspapers, of which 800 are dailies.
England occupies second place with 81
00O-S09 dailies. France has 2,S19, Of
which, however, only one-quarter ap-
pear daily or two or three times a
week. Italy publishes 1,400 newspa-
pers, followed in their order by Aus
tria- Hungary, Spain, Russia, Greece,
and Switzerland. The total number
of newspapers published in Europe is
about 10000.
In Asia not less than 5000 news
papers appear periodically; the larg-
est number in Japan and the British
Indies.
Africa has the smallest number of
newspapers, only 200 dailies being pub
lished in the whole continent, Of which
thirty are published in Egypt, the bal
ance in the European colonies.
Newspapers published in the United
States at the close of 1903 are given
by Rowelps Directory as: Weeklies,
14,445; semi-weeklies, 400; tri-weeklies,
"a; dailies. 2,215; total newspapers,
1928; total periodicals, 3,262; total

The daily and weekly newspapers
published in the United States are in
number nearly equal to the dailies and
weeklies published in all Europe.
