a clam which netted him something over two
hundred dollars. A family of Negroes that
lived in ramshackle hut and went partly
clothed all the year round, became wealthy,
built fine home, and hired white men for
their servants. Not one of them could read
or write, yet they bought a steam launch, an
automobile, and kept stable of six horses.
Alfred Hastings boy of sixteen, found
button shaped gem weighing one hundred and
sixty-eght grains He sold it for twenty
one hundred and sixty-eight dollars to local
buyer, who took off the outside skin, and in
New York got ten thousand dollars for it.
The excitement continued through the sum-
mer of 1902, when it suddenly subsidized, for the
simple reason that the Black River had been
literally cleaned out. The fortune seekers went
over to the Mississippi and explored every
stream and bayou of Arkansas; but no fishing
worth the name was struck until the White
River was reached. There the scenes on the
Black River were reenacted.
In all, within three years more than three
million dollars worth of pearls were taken
from the waters of the Mississippi Valley, and
at least three-fourths of them from the Black
and White Rivers of Arkansas. In 1901 mill
ion and half worth of the gems were taken
from the Black River alone, most of them COM
ing from section not twenty miles long, with
Newport as its center. The killing" of the
rivers means that the largest pearl region in
the Middle West again became what it originally
was, a nonpopulated wilderness. And thus
towns which sprang up in a night rapidly
dwindled In Newport more business houses
and dwellings were vacant than occupied. Its
population fell from fifteen thousand to scarcely
four thousand.

other is SO picturesque, so crowded with human
interest, so tragic. Fortunes were made squan-
dered. made again, and usually lost again
and then came the news: I'VE have worked
out the beds The industry is killed.
In 1900 came the big strike on the Black
River of Arkansas and an old fisherman was
tn cause of it. He was fishing from a skiff,
anchored in midstream, when his bait ran out.
The easiest way to get more was to rake up
a few CLAIMS from the river bed. The first
bivalve he brought up was an innocent looking
specimen with nothing at all in its appearance
to foreshadow the excitement to come. The
fisherman whstng, inserted his knife between
the shells and pried them apart. As he did SO
lustrous pearl dropped out on the thwart of
the skiff, bounced to the bottom of the craft,
and lay there glistening in the sunshine.
For a full minute the fisherman sat blinking,
then he made a dive for his find, and worked
harder than ever before in his life to get back to
shore. He sold his prize to local dealer for
one hundred dollars, and retired to private life.
But that retirement lasted less than week.
The report of the find spread far and wide,
and the inhabitants of the whole countryside
came rushing to the sand beds at the bottom
of Black River, and the fisherman, with the
pearl fever germ stoutly established in his sys-
tenn, fell into line. 1t may be added that the
dealer who had paid one hundred dollars for
the jewel sent it to New York, where he re-
ceived twenty-five hundred for it. The excite
ment was intense throughout Arkansas. The
fields were swept bare in the rush to the river.
Plowmen, mechanics, clerks, school teachers,
book agents, sewing machine ,spellblnders, in
cubator men, lightning rod canvassers and
chronic idlers swarmed along the river. They

Hence, the effort on the part of each party is
to select those who by reason of friendship,
association, mental characteristics, or other
influence will be most likely to decide in his
favor. On the other hand, judge is selected
without reference to any particular controversy,
and is, therefore, likely to come with more
impartiality to the consideration of the suc-
cessive cases brought before him for decision.
And this leads me to notice very common
belief that corporations and wealth have had
too much influence in the selection of judges
And by this IS not meant Except by those who
are naturally predisposed to unjust suspicions)
that the selection is bought and paid for, but
that corporations and combinations have been
too potential in political life, and taken adj
vantage of their power to secure the appoint
ment of men whose past life and experiences
will, it is hoped, induce decisions from them
favorable to such corporations and combina-
tons. In other words, you not infrequently
hear it said that corporations have selected the
judges, and that therefore decisions will be in
favor of the corporations and the rich, and
against labor organizations and the poor And
this is said by those who do not question the
personal integrity of the judges, but believe
that they have been selected because of their
well known convictions in respect to legal rights
Many think to guard against this by short
judicial terms. But that will bring no relief
On the contrary, it will result more disadvan-
tageously. For, assuming the charge against
corporations and wealth to be true, they will,
Icing Sdlcu upon frequent cAcIClSS
of their power and influence, naturally strive
to secure judges upon whom they can rely
more certainly. Far better will it be for those
who dread the influence of corporate wealth
to combine in efforts to secure the appoint
ment of men whose past is a guaranty of a
future of absolutely Independent action. In
dependence and integrity are essential quail
fcations of judge. The moment that they
cease to dominate his life and he merely fol-
lows in his decisions that which he believes will
favor friends, reward those who have assisted
him to Office, please his party, or responds to
popular demand, that moment his value as
judge ceases; and whenever this becomes
habit of the Judiciary the end of popular gov
eminent is not far off

A Conscientious Judge

A N amusing illustration came under my OBJ
"A servation, although in that it was person
and not principle that prompted judicial action.
Nv predecessor as district Judge in the first
judicial district of the State of Kansas had a
warm personal friend to whom he largely owed
his election to office. He was SO fearful that
his friendship for that man might lead him to
rule incorrectly in his favor, that he was con-
stantly deciding against him, even ques-
tons and in cases in which his friend was right.
All appreciated the extreme conscientiousness
of the Judge and not infrequently joked about
his action in consequence thereof When at
the close of his official term he declined re-
election, the members of the bar united in a
suitable present and designated his friend to
make the presentation address. In the course
of his address, that man, who was one of the
wittiest and most brilliant members of the
Kansas bar, referring to the fact that he had
been frequently beaten by the judge, and often
as he felt through fear of being unduly in
fuenced by friendship, closed a humorous
paragraph by saying, If Your Honor please,
if | had filed the Ten Commandments as
declaration and subpenaed the Twelve Apos-
ties, you would have found some way to beat
me-"
This extreme conscientiousness is, however,
preferable to that easy disposition which some
times leads judge to decide case in favor
of his friend because he is his friend. For no
higher ascription of praise can be made of a
judge than that he IS constantly striving to
guard against all influences which might i'm
properly affect his judicial action.
1t may be remarked in passing that one
reason why the decisions of courts are pre-
ferred to the awards of arbitrator, sprAgs
from the fact that arbitrator are gener
selected with reference to particular dispute.

married the daughter of Chief Justice Horn
blower, of New Jersey, who was so strong
Federalist that he was credited with saying
that he was opposed to the abolition of capital
punishment so long as there was Democrat
unhung.
One whose early training and convictions
have placed him in the school of constitutional
construction (which we frequently designate
as the Hamilton schooD, one who believes that
national supremacy is the great desideratum
of our system of government, will be likely
when he accepts judicial Office to carry those
convictions into his decisions. He cannot well
be honest with himself if he does not. So, on
the other hand one who believes in the neces-
sity of maintaining in all their vigor the rights
of the States (who belongs to what we call the
jefferson school of constitutional law will as
a Judge carry his beliefs in that direction into
his decisions. You cannot expect an honest
Judge to depart from his convictions as an
honest lawyer. / know there are instances of
judges so conscientious-mor as l think
who for fear they may be influenced by
their earlier convictions constantly lean to the
other side. To use common expression, they
stand up so straight that they fall over back
ward.

The Governments Necessity

60 conclude with this thought, that while
~ there is much jealousy on the part of many,
much feeling that the judiciary fails because
it is not more responsive to popular Judgment,
there is no more profound truth,-none which
can more wisely be impressed upon all who
love their country,-that no Government
Qeast of all Government of the people) will
be likely to endure unless all rights and con-
troversies between individuals, between the
Government and the individual, and between
the majority and the minority, are settled by
ciary. without such a judiciary government
of the people will end in government of the
mob. With it as restraining influence, we
may look for it to endure SO long as human
governments exist.
