ted to the Supreme court Of Georgia.
The proposition was one which, Judge
Charlton could not afford to re-
jeet
The Supreme court decision is a
complete yindication of Judge Speer' s
contention and of the course which he
Fhad directed when the proceedings in
Fthe case were interrupted
The purpose of the Herald in re
ferring to this case now is not to give
! any undue prominence to the fact that
Judge Speer has won out in a legal
controversy with Judge Charlton but
rather to give him due credit for not
precipitating an unseemly row and
making an ostentatiOus demonstration
of official authority when lie not only
had chance, but proyocation, to do
SO. He chose the better and more
dignified course, and it is to this that
we want to call the attention of the
people of Georgia.
Conflicts that have been not only
unfortunate but deplorable have been
all TOO frequent of late between state
and federal courts, and we dare say
that most of them, if not all of them
| might have been aYerJed by the tact
fitness and forbearaBce exercised by
Judge Speer in this case.

JUDGE SPEER'S TACTFUL FORE
BEARANCE.

The Supreme court of Georgia has
recently sustained the position taken
by Judge Speer in the contention
with Judge Charlton, OF the Supe-
rior court of Chatham county, as to
the completeness of the authority
vested in the federal court in bank
ruptcy cases unde1, the existing ma
tional law. Judge Charlton stood for
the right Of the state court to appoint
a receiver, to control ana direct the
disposition of the assets, and other
wise handle the estate of state cor
poration that wished TO liquidate and
whose solVency was called into ques-
ton. Creditors of tie concern Went
into the United States court on a pc
tition in bankruptcy, a receiver was
appointed by Judge Speer. and then
came the clash with Judge Charlton,
who refused to permit the receiver
appointed by him TO turn over the
assets and directed the officers of
the court to protect the property in
question from seizure by the marshal
of Judge Speer's district.
There was naturally the possibll-
ity Of very nasty complications en-
suing, conditions that would have far
distanced the unpleasant episode in
the case of Judge Fite and the dis
tillery gauger. If Judge Speer had
permitted himself to be drawn into
violent exhibition of authority and
insisted on the maintenance Of his pre-
negatives through a display of force,
it is quite possible that the resulting
incidents would have been extremely
sensational and decidedly prejudicial
to the pubic peace and to that high
respect for the courts which all judges
are supposed to seek to inspire. For
tunately, Judge Speer was equal TO
the emergency, and convinced by his
long experience with the bankruptcy
laws that his position was proper
one, he doubtless felt that he could
well afford to let the highest author
ity in Georgia itself pass upon the
points in dispute. The opinion of the
Supreme court has sustained his view
point, justified the attitude he had
assumed, and strengthened him in
the public mind as the conservator
of the high position of the courts in
the public esteem. AS the Albany
Herald says:
Judge Speer, instead of ordering the
United States marshal to proceed by
force, if necessary, and raise a rough
house with the state officers, sug-
gested in the most courteous language
and considerate terms possible that
the matter in controversy be submit

ATTACKING ADDITIONAL PAY FOR
JUDGES.

Inc question whether a county can
pay an additional salary to it's Su-
perior court judge beyond that re-
ceiyed from the state is now before the
Supreme court on a case carried there
from Richmond county, the county
treasurer there having refused to pay
the drafts Of the county commissioners
for the additional judicial compensa-
ton on the ground that the law per-
hitting this is unconstitutional
Several of the counties having large
cities have added to the $4,000 paid
by the state to the Superior court
judges. Under the law the constitu-
tionality of w9.ch is called into
question judges in counties contain
ing city of more than $4,000 popula-
ton can be paid an additional $4,000
from the county treasury. The law
seems an eminently wise one. In CT
ties like Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta
and Macon it is comparatively easy
for the lawyers Of the highest standing
at the bar, men of acknowledged su-
perior ability, to earn considerable
more than the $4,000 allowed by the
state. The work in such circuits, too.
is far more onerous and of vastly
greater Importance in the nature Of
tfle cases tried than in number Of
circuits embracing counties that are
almost entirely agricultural in their
character and where the accumulated
cases Of six months can be disposed
Of in almost any county in less than
a week 1t was an error to place all
judges on the same financial basis
without regard to the quantity and
character of the work thrown upon
them. WElIe $4,000 a year is none
too much for any judge, it is ia
questionably too small remunera-
ton for a number of those in the
service of the public in that capa-
city.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the
Supreme court will decide that the law
is constitutional. If not, then an
amendment would ceIla My be in or
der. A poorly paid jail larry is no
credit to the state The man wEio is
worthy Of so exalted position in the
public service is entitled to compensa-
ton commensurate with the dignity
and importance of the office entrust-
ed to him. The people stand in their
own light wien they pursue a cheese
pairing policy with regard to the
judges and high officers of the
state

THE COUNCIL HELD BY THE RATS
(By Jean de la FontaIne.)

(By Jean de Ia Fontaine)
Old Rid0l, a certain cat,
Such havoc Of the rats had made,
Twas difficult to find rat
With natures debt unpaid.
The few that did remain
To leave their holes afraid,
From usual food abstain,
Not eating half their fill.
And wonder no one VIII,
That one, who made on rats his reyel,
With rats passed not for cat, but devil.
Now, on a day, this dread rat-eater,
Who had a wife, went out to meet her;
And while he held her caterwauling,
The unkilled rats, their chapter call
ing,
Discussed the point, in grave debate,
How they might shun impending fate
Their dean, a prudent rat,
Thought best, and better soon than
late,
To bell the fatal cat;
That when he took his kdnting-round
The rats, well cautioned by the sound
Might hide in safety under ground:
Indeed, he knew no other means,
And all the rest
At once confessed
Their minds were with the deans.
No better plan. they all believed,
Could possibly have been conceived;
No doubt, the thing would work RICH
well,
If any one would hang the bell.
But, one by one, said every rat,
m not so big a fool as that"
| Iha plan knocked up in this respect,
Tie council closed without effect.
And many council l have seen,
Or reverend chapter with it's dean,
That, thus resolving wisely.
Fell through like this precisely.
To argue or rsfute,
Wise cousellors abound:
The man to execute
Is harder to be found
