insisting upon man performing the
sacred duty of a grand juror, who
had failed TO give in a true assessment
of his property by at least several
thousands of dollars, but that he was
also derelict in his duty to the more
than thirty thousand people in Bates
county," when he failed to put in the
hands Of the grand jury what might
have proved to be an invaluable piece
of evidence of what is generally
spoken of as tax lodging.
Of course the duties of a circuit
Judge are many, and, in the careful at
tention to detail, one is liable to some
times overlook a minor matter, but
we believe that when the tax payers
of this district pay an official a salary
of s., 900 per annum together with an
additional 500 per month to cover
expenses, they are entitled to expect
this official to protect their financial
interests, and not to devote his time
to the writing of love letters to dissat-
isfied jurors. Which proposition hits
your pocket book the harder, Mr..
Taxpayer? II costs you money when
property worth s40,O is assessed at
less than $4,000. How much does il
cost you when a grand juror is ex-
cused?
In his letter, Judge Denton further
states in these words:
81 have adopted rule in my court
for the purpose of keeping off the jury
professional jurors, that no juror can
sit as regular Juror oftener than
once year.
We would suggest that any voter
desiring to know the reason for the
adoption of this "rule" by Judge Den
ton, refer to Sec. $40, R. S. 1899,
which section reads in part as follows:
mo person shall be summoned as
such standing juror at more than one
term of court, either asgrand or petit
juror, within the period of one year
in any court of record. "

THE RECORDS BLIND
PARTISANSHIP.

The Bates County Record, in its
blind partisan zeal on the eve of cleo
ton, bitterly and vindictively assaults
Judge James B. CAN'T. 1t refers to
his honorable record of twenty years
upon the Supreme Bench, which the
intelligent voters of this great state
bestowed upon him because of his
worth and fitness for the office, with
a sheer and fling as if it was a badge
of dishonor. Judge CAN'T is so WELL
known to the people of Bates county
especially, where he was twice pre-
ferred to home men was by a major
ity of the voters, that anything that
Mr.. Austin would say to his discredit
will be taken at its full value as the
senile vapourings of an old man who
has blindly followed his party lead for
half a century, implicitly believing that
no harm could come out of the Re-
publican party and no good out of the
Democratic party. During Judge
Gantt's honorable record of six years
on the Circuit Bench and twenty
years on the Supreme Court only
one of his decisions ever met the
commentator of Mr.. Austin and his
Record, and that was when he order
ed the election judges in the case of
Morgan VS.. Dickerson to make its re-
turns in an election contest for City
Marshal, which decision Injured to
Republicans benefit. Then the Re-
cord thanked God for a circuit Judge
big enough to rise above partisan
prejudice and render exact justice to
all parties.
During Judge Gantt's long judicial
career he has ever been recognized
by lawyers and all right thinking peo-
pie as an exceptionally fair, unprei-
udiced and just Judge. He has been
one of the hardest workers on the
Supreme Bench, and he is to-day in
the full vigor of manhood, both
mental and physical that bids fair TO
extend his great usefulness for twen-
ty years. We but voice the opinion
of the best lawyers in the state when
we say that it would be calamity to
the state to defeat Judge CAN'T by
John C. Brown, who, we say in all
charity, is mediocre in ability and is
not regarded seriously in his home
section as sizing up to the office of
Supreme Judge.

COMMENTS ON TWO LETTERS.

The Repubhcan-PreSs in its issue
dated October 81. 1910, publishes two
letters, one dated at Osceola, and
signed Attorney, and the other
dated at Butler, Mo-, and signed C.
A. Denton.
In the former letter Attorney"
says:
Judge Denton, in this judicial cir
cult, has accomplished a great deal
toward raising the standard of our
petit iuries, by insisting that no one
but the best citizens serve upon the
iuries in his court"
Either the writer of the above,
most certainly cannot be an attorney
at-law, or it is his intention to deceive
the public, inasmuch as any lawyer
knows that the circuit Judge has abso-
lutely no authority to select the men,
bers Of either a grand jury or petit
jury.
Attorney" continues his epistle
with extravagant words of praise for
Judge Denton, and closes with the
submission of letter from the Judge
written in terms of endearment to a
reluctant grand juror. The COM
munication, which fills about two
columns of the RIP, is a mas
terpiece in the gentle art of feeding
taffy."
Among the reasons the Judge gives
for refusing to excuse this juror from
serving is the following:
Because of property worth, as
you state an inventory shows you
have over $40, 600 worth of property
which needs your attention.
AS we write this Judge Denton is
advertised to deliver addresses on the
subject Good Citizenship" at no less
than three points in this county, and
we would respectfully inquire of the
Judge in what way good citizen.

NOTED than by handing the letter,
which so confidingly speaks of the
writer possessing over $40, 600 worth
of property, over to the grand jury
with instructions to investigate.
No juror serving on the grand
jury for the February term is assess
ed at a sum amounting to anything
like $4,000. The assessment books
show the highest assessment agains,
any member Of the Grand Jury for
the February term to be g, ITO, and
this amount includes both real and

OF course. in all probability, the
