The passage by the Assembly OF a bill pro-
hibiting our municipal court judges and city
magistrates from engaging actively in politics
as leaders and delegates viii be welcomed as a
step toward ending a public abuse. Judges
should avoid the hurly-burly OF partisan activ-
ity and the spectacle Of a magistrate marching
at the head Of ward or district club is neither
edifying nor becoming. This is an age OF
specialization, and when politician becomes a
Judge he should cease TO be a politician.
