sP0TLEss JUDGES ERMINE.
Ethics of Bench and Bar Call for
Highest Qualities OF Manhood.

"SneSt auuiittcs ot nuhhOOu
From Farm and FIreside.
Federal Judges are appointed for life,
and serve during good behavior They
may be removed by impeachment, but
the removal is so difficult that only the
grossest cases of bad behavior can be
punished. There Is a vast field of bad
behavior which is open to the bad Judge.
The people can be protected against such
judicial transgressors by no power save
that OF the high standards of the judges
themselves. They may stain the judicial
ermine with impunity. so far as impeach-
ment is concerned. IL they are that sort
Of men.
When a judge accepts the use Of rail-
way private cars he stains the ermine.
When a judge so comports himself that
his sons and relatives are promoted to
profitable employment in the service of
railways and other great corporations
he stains the ermine. Such things as
these are the cause OF the new demand
for the recall Of judges. Ten years ago
such a thing had never been heard of.
When a minister OF the Gospel sets
out to make money on the side. his
spiritual life is usually marked for de-
structon. He finds that the Scriptures
speak true as to the impossibility Of
serving both God and Mammon. The
Federal Judge Is bound by no less lofty
ethics. Like the preacher, he can serve
God and live on his salary or he can
serve Mammon and make money on the
side for himself and his family. He can
not do both. He must be either in the
world Of business or out Of It. He may
thank himself for the growth Of the new
