ELECTION OF JUDGES.
Nevada State Journal.O

Nevada State Journal)
We believe the lawyers of this conn.
try have a patriotic duty to perform
and We hope they will realize it and
take action. The matter of restoring
the judiciary to that place of respect
and usefulness it once had should ap-
peal to the pride of every lawyers.
The judiciary is not representative of
the people nor responsive to the peo-
pies needs. 1t is not representative
of the ideal of the legal profession.
The only way the lawyers can per-
form the required service is to take
charge of the work of naming candi-
dates for judicial office. The work
must be done by the lawyers, not as
individuals in the profession or as
citizens, but as body, with all the
power and all the weight given to
State Bar Associations.
We believe the solution is to make
the State Bar Associations in the sew
eral states stand sponsor for the men
nominated for judicial office. They
must not only be the most potent
force in the nominations and election,
but they must so act in the selection
that they can guarantee the man, COM
hitting themselves as a body to the
declaration that their choice repre-
sents the highest available type of
honor, honesty and competency.
This is an appeal to the pride of all
members of profession whose his
tory has been a brilliant and honor
able one in all civilization and whose
usefulness in this country, has been
second to none in the great work of
popular government.
Unfortunately it cannot now be said
that every lawyer in state is proud
OF the learning or the independence
OF every man on the bench in his
state. Frequently they are not rep
resentative of even the average of the
bar. The people look to the lawyers
to change the conditions which make
this possible.
The first thing to do is to take the
nomination and election of judicial Of
ficers out of the hands of politicians.
The next thing to do is to put the
nomination into the hands of the law
yers and the elections into the hands
of the people.
We realize that such plan cannot
be carried out in a day. In some
states constitutions may need chang
ing. In other states laws may need
changing, but the main thing is that
the system needs changing and the
lawyers are the most potent forces to
do the work
We would suggest that the State
Bar Association in each state appoint
a permanent committee sufficiently
large to have a representative from

right of a second election: and the
worst of 1t is, we have no record of
the reasons which finally drew the
convention away from the tomfoolish-
ness.
President Jackson in 1929 was TOM
fool enough to urge the single term
of six years, and President Hayes and
committee of Congress in 1877 equal
ly distinguished themselves.
Coming down to our own immediate
time, we find the tomfool proposition
running riot through the official body
polite.
It has the Endorsement of President
Taft. 1t has been reported favorably
by a subcommittee of the Senate Ju-
dietary Committe. 1t is is about to be
reported favorably by a subcommittee
of the House Judiciary Committee.
The Worlds canvass of Congress
shows a remarkable scarcity of votes
in opposition, and many of these OBJ
ject only to the length of the single
term. 1t finds wide and emphatic in
dorsement from governors of states,
mayors of cities and others.
Its tomfoolishness becomes further
evident in its effectiveness to protect
the dignity and independence of the
presidential office and end the abuses
of patronage which attend the seeking
of a second term

each section but small enough to per.
nit of efficient work. It should be
the duty of the committee before each
judicial election to thoroughly can
vass the list Of available men in each
district and report the names of those
best qualified for the office.
This act of reporting such names
should be binding on the entire pro-
fession. After it the entire State Bar
Association should be regarded as
committing itself to the guarantee
that such men, if elected, would be
fully representative of the best law
yers in the district and state.
We believe the selections so made
should be the nominations and the
only nominations made. Enough
names could be certified to give the
people chance to pick. Such a plan
would bring the responsibility abso.

ton. In this, however, we anticipate
a protest that this would deprive the
people of their right to nominate and
while we think the gain would be
more than the loss to the people we
can see how the plan of nomination
can be changed. The names could be
certified for the primary election and
appear on the primary ballots. Other
names could be supplied through the
filing of petitions so the people could
have a choice of their own but those
names should not come from political
conventions. This would really sim
mer down in time to accepting the
choice of the bar association for the
people would hardly care to nominate
man who could not be Endorsed bv
such a body.
The nominations are the essentials.
At the election the two highest names
could be voted on, but there should be
no lining up under party headings.
! We believe that if the State Bar As.
sociations should take up this plan
and deliver the goods" for one or
two elections it's Endorsement would
speedily become considered equivalent
to election. We believe that, being
entrusted with this duty and perceiv.
ing the eye of the people on them, the
members of State Bar Associations
would discharge the duty with credit
to themselves and to the elevation of
the judiciary.
Naturally this plan would call for
considerable amendment to existing
law, Judicial offices must first be
taken from the gift of political bosses

FROM THE EDITOR
He Forgot That He Had a Stomach.

Talking of food, there is probably no profess
sional man subjected to a greater, more wear
ing mental strain than the responsible editor of
a modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties constantly in
good working order, the editor must keep his
physical powers up to the highest rate of effici-
ency Nothing will so quickly upset the whole
system as badly selected food and dsordered
stomach It therefore follows that he should
have right food, which can be readily assim-
Hated, and which furnishes true brain nourish-
ment.
my personal experience in the use of Grape
Nuts and Postum" writes a Philadelphia editor,
so exactly agrees with your advertised claim
as to their merits that any further exposition
in that direction would seem to be superfuous
They have benefited me so much, however
during the five years that have used them,
that do not feel justified in Withholding my
testimony.
General high living with all that the ex-
preston implies as to generous table, brought
about indigestion, in my case, with restless
ness at night, and lassitude is the morning
accompanied by various pains and distressing
sensations during working hours
The doctor diagnosed the condition as Ca.
tarrh of the stomach and prescribed various
medicines, which did me no good. / finally
threw physics to the dogs, gave up tea and cof-
fee and heavy meat dishes, and adopted Grape
Nuts and Postum as the chief articles of my
diet.
Il can conscentiously say, and wish to say
1t with all the emphasis possible to the English
language, that they have benefited me as medi

That is the great menace now. When
a Judge owes his election to boss Or
a magnate, the debt must be paid and
the people suffer. If the only obliga-
ton he has is to justify the trust re-
posed in him by his fellow lawyers
and the people he cannot fall far
short.

MIDLAND AUTO TRAIL.

| In the making of a great automobile
transcontincntal road, it is. Of course,
essential that Salt Lake City be upon
that road, no matter whether the sec
tion through the Rocky Mountains
should be planned from Denver direct
to Salt Lake or whether it should come
by way Of Cheyenne. In either case.

This is evidently the consensus Of
| opinion OF the automobile men, and
the energetic men in charge of laying
| out the Midland ''auto trail arc not
in any doubt upon this question. They
arc for Salt Lake as n matter of course,
and of necessity. A transcontinental
automobile trail that would miss Salt
Lake would be a good deal as though
traveller should visit Italy without
going to Rome.
The meeting in the Commercial Club
in behalf Of this project on Monday
evening was full of enthusiasm, and
and Colorado will join in the construc-
tion of their respective sections OF this
road. That is eminently proper, and
without doubt the project is feasible
and will be pushed TO completion; for
the automobile interest is now one OF
the great leading industries of the
United States. and is amply able to
put this modern auto trail'' through
from coast to coast.

THE REAL, MALIGNITY.

The newspaper organs which sup
ported Colonel Roosevelt arc violent
in their explanations of his defeat
Singular as it may seem. the editors
and managers of number of those
papers that ought to have known bet

outcry raised by thcm since the cleo

actually believe that he was to he
