Judicial Scandal in New York.

1t has been demonstrated by the in
quiry now in progress that candidate
for judgeship in Brooklyn upon the
Tammany ticket paid $4,000 for the
nomination. 1t is a spectacle of graft
in connection with a judicial Office
which may we'll excite apprehension
among all right-rninded people.
The fact does not lose any of its
significance through the assertion that
for many years all candidates, includ-
ing judges, have been made to pay their
proportionate amount of election ex-
penseS. 1t is said that the investiga-
ton of Croker's methods revealed the
payment of money by many men who
were elevated by popular vote to the
bench. If this be true, it makes the
situation all the more deplorable. 1t
is bad enough for any municipal office
to be made a subject of bargain and
sale, but when this system is allowed
to permeate the judiciary it ought to
be uprooted in prompt fashion.
The disclosures have led the New
York State Bar Association to action
which, it is hoped, will go far toward
eliminating the evil. They propose to
condemn publicly the methods by which
judges secure nomination, just as the
Queens Borough Bar Association has
already passed resolutions repudiating
the candidate who bought and paid for
his nomination. When the Judiciary
which ought to be spotless, is be-
smirched by scandal, it is time for dras-
tic political surgery. The organization
that is responsible ought to be swept
from power.

That was all. For a moment,
dazed by the suddenness Of the re-

Approaching him, the coroner laid
down the package of blanks. The

From Success Magazine.
A Western politician had quite a repu-

Policeman VS.. Detective.

From the Providence journal
Detective Burns is a good police off,
Ger, for when he wanted the Mcnamara
brothers he went after them and got
them. It now remains to be seen IL he
is an equally good detective. To arrest
a man who is supposed to be guilty is
one thing, and to trace a great crime
accurately is quite another.
