-O--
On this page we give space to Judge
VanSyckel's argument in favor of the
adoption of the proposed Judiciary
Amendments to the Constitution Of
all the amendments, this is the one
on which the people will be most un-
decided and have greatest difficulty
in reaching decision. Judge Van
Sickel says that only mercenary law
yers will be against these amend
ments because he says they will faci1i-
tate and cheaper litigation. 1t seems
to us that the learned Judge blundered
when he made that statement, be-
cause that don't make it SO by any
means. The Democrat would like to
publish the opinion of the lawyers of
this county on this amendment. We
believe such publication would be a
great aid to the people and some of
them might aid Judge vanSyckel to
reverse himself in this newspaper
judgment of lawyers who oppose his
view.
