WATSON BIFFS U. S. JUDGES
THE GEORGIAN SAYS THAT THEY
MUST BE CURBED.
He Believes That They Will Yet
Cause United States and State
Troops to Clash.

MISUNDERSTANDING that soon
er or later there must come a clash
between state and federal troops to
determine important rights involved
Thomas E. Watson, in lengthy let
ter to Acknowledgement John c. Hart
roasts the federal judiciary, and as
sertS it must be curbed.
The letter was written incident to
the case of Gauger Stegau, who was
imprisoned by Judge A. w. Fite for
contempt Of court for refusing to an
sWer questions as to a distillery in
Dade county. Subsequently, upon
the advice of the Announcement
Judge Fite turned Stegall over to the
federal court upon a writ of habeas
corpus. 1t is this latter action which
Mr.. Watson criticises and says to
Judge Hart:
Had | been in your place there
would have been a fight"
The letter was written in answer
to a letter from Judge Hart drawn
forth by an editorial along similar
lines in the Jeffersonian, in which
Judge Hart pointed out that while
he was confident the state court had
right to demand answers to the
questions put to Gauger Stegall, he
still felt the writ of habeas corpus
should be respected, as it is one of
the highest rights guaranteed under
the constitution of the United States.
Mr. Watson takes exception to this,
and declares the clash must come.
Among other things he says:
Some time or other these federal
judges have got to be bearded and
driven back within the lines of their
constitutional jurisdiction. i"

CORN LICKER" AND PELEGRA.
Is Statement Made at Conference
Being Held at Columbia.

A Columbia, s. c., dispatch says:
Not alone corn and the ordinary
products of food made of that cereal.
but the distilled spirits of grain,
corn licker," plays an important
part in the cause of the dread pella-
gra, was declared here today at the
second days session of the national
conference on pellagra by more than
one of the distinguished physicians
in attendance. And upon these men
who are met to investigate what to
this country is considered a new
disease there is growing convic-
ton, according to several of the
speakers, that pellagra already is
making its ravages upon horses

far-reaching agencies of the popular
wisdom and policy. The duties Incl
dent to the Office brought it directly
or indirectly in touch with every in
terest and every individual in the
state. 1t would be difficult to exag-
gerate its present importance. But
had it been the least office in their
gift 1t would none the less have rep
resented the dignity Of the people.
With certain functions, which
must be performed with ability and
integrity and exclusively from con-
1lctlng interests, an Office is conferred
upon a particular individual, to serve
the masters where from the neces-
sites of the case the master can
neither be present nor give direc-
tons, save in designated ways Sc
lected by himself. The individual
is not only servant; he is, in the
language Of the constitution, 'trus-
tee of the people.
Dealing with the great fundament-
al principle of government Judge
Charlton declares it would be the
veriest splitting of hairs to admit
that if a spade were handed to a
labOrer to delve the soil it could not
be taken from him without due pro-
cess of law, and that an office en-
trusted to one by the people may be
taken from him without due process
Of law-because the spade is prop
erty and the office is not.
Due Process of Law.
'As between the master and the
laborer there may be no contention
as to the right to the spade; and
between the state and the relatOr
there could be no question as to
the office in question But unless
the state has definitely spoken, whilst
the relator had the right to resign
his office and deliver it back into
the hands of the state-neither the
respondent nor any one else could
take it from him, without permission
of the state.
Public office, as between the in
cumbent and the adversary claim
ant, being within the spirit of the
inhibitions, and there
having been neither notice nor trial
as TO either suspension or removal
the relatOr has been deprived of the
office without due process of law,
and it should be restored to him,
unless the removal was with con-
sent of the sovereign.
Il am aware that in reaching this
conclusion l depart from the ma
jority ruling Of the supreme court
of the United States, which gives me
much concern. l am not constituting
the fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States, the
history of which may account for
the conflicting views of the Judges
who have considered it. | am con-
STRUNG the constitution of Georgia,
expressing as it does a principle
which has persisted throughout our
which we brought from
England with us, and which is not
contaminated with political consider
atoms and racial conditions.
Georgia does not need to go to
the fourteenth amendment to be in
structed in her theories of the fun
damental rights of her citizens. The
principle involved was the law within |,
her boundaries before the constitut- /
ton of the United States was
framed"

Contention of McLendon.

The main contention of Mr.. Nc
Tendon in this controversy was that
he had been deprived of office with
out due process of law, it being urged
that while public Office cannot be
considered the property of an Off
cial who has been designated to dis
charge its functions, il was sufficient
ly of the nature of property, at all
events between rival claimants, ito
bring it within the spirit of that
fundamental doctrine of our law
which inhibits the taking of life,
liberty or property without due pro-
cess of law"

decision was upon the question in
volved in this contention of the re-
lator. 1T would be an unwarranta-
bic exercise Of opportunity to track
the numerous decisions submitted on
the question of property in public
office, observed the Judge THE
office belongs to the people, and the
citizen whom they designate to dis
charge its functions so far from be-
ing the owner Of the office is by the
specific language of the constitution,
the servant of the people. While
ne is the servant he is not a hire

Opinion of Judge Charlton.

After argument it is directed, or
dered and adjudged that the demur-
rer filed to the information in this
case be and the same is hereby over
ruled; the demurrer to the plea in
estoppel sustained, and the said plea
stricken; the rule nisi made abso-
lutte, and that the writ of custer is
sue as prayed"
In his opinion Judge Charlton
ayoids any criticism of former Gov
ernor Smith, who removed Commits
sioner McLendon. The judge con-
fines his observation to the validity
of the act under which the late eX-
ecutiye of the state acted, holding
that the statute was illogical.
IF | am right in my conclusions
as to the validity of the statute under
which the relator was removed from
Office says Judge Charlton, 1T
would be idle to consider the reasons
given by the governor. If l am
wrong and the statute is valid then
to criticise those reasons would be
an understandable intrusion into the
executive dOmain-an adventure up
on which | have not the right, and
certainly not the disposition to en-
bark 8"
