PROBATE JUDGES TERMS.

Members of the Supreme Court of
Kansas are elected for terms OF SIX
wears and some of them have been
given several terms. District judges
are elected for terms of four years
and some of them have served four or
five terms. Probate judges are elect
ed for terms of only two years The
two-terms-and-out theory should not,
and does not apply to Officers holding
judicial positions, especially not to
probate courts where causes of ad-
ministration and guardianship are
often necessarily continued several
years, and the knowledge which the
officer has concerning the details OF
the case is valuable to all parties in
the. settlement of estates, which
knowledge could not be acquired by
a new man in the office until after
months of experience. That this is
the view held in other counties of the
state is indicated by the following
data, recently collected from official
records:
Thirtv-fouf Kansas counties have
given their probate judges 3 terms.
Fifteen counties have given them
terms.
Sixteen counties have given them
terms.
Ten counties have given them 6
terms
Two counties have given them I
Two counties have given them,S
terms
Three counties have given them 9
terms.
One county has given them 10 terms.
Two counties have given them Ii

Mr. Hired Man, would you like to

Mr.. Voter, in all other courts you
