court of the state and a member of
congress. OF the two. the former is
the most important to the state.
A Judge OF the Supreme court is one
OF three men to whom as final arbi-
tors must come all legal questions.
They are the final interpreters OF the
law, as well as the sworn defenders of
the constitution of the commonwealth.
The man who occupies this position
should be one of sound judgment and
unspotted integrity. as well as a law
yer of the profoundest learning. He
should be a man who In his position
Is superior to all partisanship; in a
word, n man who Is the greatest of all,
an upright Judge.
Two names have so far been proml.
nentlv mentioned for the supreme
judgship. These are Judge Morse OF
the Third Judicial district bench and
Judge Fricx, the senior member OF the
law firm of Frick & Edwards of Salt
Lake City. Both OF these gentlemen
are men who would lend honor to the
position. Both are lawyers OF pro-
found learning. both are OF the judi.
clai turn OF mind. both are grand
specimens OF American citizenship,
both are men of ripe Judgment.
Either OF them would make superb
Justice OF the Supreme court. Judge
Morse has still two wears Of his term

though his friends urge him for the

many who urge that his place Is on

JUDGE BARTcH.

On October l Chief Justice George
w. Bartch will sever his connection
with the bench which he has occupied
In Utao for fourteen consecutive
years, and will return to practice at
the bar. He will have as a partner
ex-Attorney General Bagley of Idaho,
and the firm will be a strong one.
In parting company with Judge
Bartch as an official we do but voice
the feelings of ninetenths of those
who know him when we say that, in
the midst of a more or less tortuous
condition of things, his way has been
straight, his actions regular and his
achievements replete with wise and
lasting provisions. No more incor-
ruptible, impartial or Industrious
Judge ever occupied the bench any
where, and his departure from It here.
while 1t will no doubt be a gain to
him, will not be one to the state Per
sonally he is one of the most I'M
assuming and approachable of men;
not gifted with much of the worlds
goods, his purse has ever been open
to the call of meritorlous need, and,
without being a candidate or In a po-
sition where he could justly be levied
upon, has unfailingly responded to
calls for aid by the Republican party,
to which he has ever given an unself-
ish allegiance. II has remained for a
few small souls to place him in po-
sltion where he seemed to be OPP
posed to a mere faction. but in reality

ity of the election being a mixed one.
Well, worse things than that might
happen.
The choice of supreme court judge,
representative to congress and the
legislature are the only features OF
the contest In which the state at large
participates. and undoubtedly there
will be a lively scrimmage over all
these. with the chances favoring the
Republicans, for outside of Salt Lake
County the splitting propensity is not
engaged In so extensively, in most
counties not at all. They have near
ly half the state senate to begin with.
and this is a pretty good start for a
majority Of the legislative body; but
this is by no means conclusive.
Strange things may happen between
now and the ides of November.
