THE TONOPAH DAILY BONANZA, TONOPA
them has the right to demand that they show
that vigilance, honesty and fidelity, which so
great a responsibility requires
All considerations demand that the lawyer
should be Scrupulously honest and moral His
profession gives broader survey of human So
ciety than any other can obtain; he sees into
the very heart of the body polite He who is
engaged IN administering justice should himself
be just. Better than anyone else the lawyer
knows the fitness or unfitness of candidate for
judge the public must depend on the lawyers
for this information; the lawyers should there
fore watch diligently the conduct of the Judges
and take steps to investigate the first intimaton
of misconduct. If they omit this duty it will
never be done and a loss of confidence in the
bench and bar will surely breed revolution and
anarchy.
The people of the state of Nevada are in
hertOrS of noble system of government form
ed and transmitted to us by wise and patriotic
men. Ii it is imperfect it is for the lawyer
to improve and shape for the better accomplish
ment of the noble work intended ny H..
of our constitution.
The highest type of freedom yet conceived
by man depends for its existence upon the
powerful arm of organized government. protect
ing the weak against the strong; the innocent
and atfOrding equal opportunities to all. Such
government must be the creature of law and
depend for its existence and administration upon
competent, honest and ncOrruptible judl In
taken from and assisted by learned, progress
i've, honest and patriotic bar
The great growth and prosperity of our
country has brought forth problems fraught with
as great difficulties and perhaps greater tempta-
tions and responsibilities than any presented to
noble ancestors. Never was there greater
need for character, honesty, foresight and un-
wavering zeal in supporting the ideals of this
republic. Never were the bench and bar har
messed with greater responsibilities. If we love
our country, if we cherish it's time -honored in
stitutions if we appreciate the sacrifices of the
brave men who cemented with blood the found
atoms of its glory; if we would transmit I'M
impaired and improved its blessing of liberty
to posterity, must yield to no mean or
unworthy impulse and miss no opportunity to
strike for truth and Justice against wrong and
oppression.
1t is the fondest hope of the Bonanza that
the tree of liberty which forefathers have
planted shall never loose it's dearly bought YER
dure, but nourshed by the superior wisdom of
this and coming generations, spread it's branches
Farther and wider until all the nation
earth shall find shelter and comfort beneath its
ample boughs of liberty, prosperity and hap
piness.
The Bonanza believes that the Nye County
Bar association has taken step in the right d-
rection and hopes that its efforts may eliminate
in the organization of state bar association
that will, by utilizing the talents and natural
honesty of its members, bring about reform
in the judicial branch of our government to
the end that it shall cease to be the tagging
member Of the trinity that control our conduct
and make that memorable Declaration of hide
pendence, which says, That all men are by
nature free and equal reality instead of
doubtful assertion.
This is serious, fruitful subject upon which
much more may be said, and the Bonanza hopes
to see that some of our fellow-workers for the
public good take it up and give it that attention
and discussion that it deserves.
The Bonanza is impressed with the belief
that of the three branches of our state govern
ment the judicial is the one that needs fixing.
