DAILY COMMENT
ON PEOPLE AND THINGS


Andy Lawrence needn't fret his
Hearst gizzard about Judge Owens.
If the judges skirts are clean no
legislative investigation will touch
them. Anyhow, we haven't heard
any charges against Owens.
What makes Andy so fussy?
While all this vice crusading is 60
ing on, why not investigate the indie
cent comics and filthy advertisements
in some of the family newspapers.
We know why. The Chicago news
papers have the job-holders buff
faloed.
BY the way, here's some good ad-
vice from Hearst's American: 'It's
your duty to get away from the paved
streets and city dust, out into the
country or seashore, with your wife
and babies"
Wouldn't that make you draw on
your bank account and start for the
seashore? Or Yoorup?
Especially if you happened to be
working for Hearst, or in some de-
partment store or clothing foundry
Insurance companies refuse to do 1
business in Missouri because they
don't like Missouri's insurance laws.
Good! Let Missouri go into the bust
ness herself and keep the profit at
home.
The Examiner editoriaIIy roasts
Judges Hopkins, Mahoney, Gemmill
and Fry for breaking into print, and
then slobbers over Judge Owens
Andy Lawrence's pet judge-to the
extent of half column.
Moral-Judges must not break
into print except with Boss Andy
Lawrence's permission-and as the
boss wants them to. |

town if all the judges took their or
ders from the Hearst papers.

| LAW NEEDED TO EXPEDITE
 JUDICIAL BUSINESS.

Would it not be good idea for the legislature of Arkansas to pass a law as other legislatures have found it wise to do. to prohibit member of the Supreme Court of the state from running for office except to succeed himself, unless he shall first resign from the bench?
 In Arkansas there are fourteen or fifteen hundred lawyers. Many of them are active in politics. In fact f]aere are few lawyers who haven's clear cut preferences among candi- dates and parties. Lawyers have tG practice before the Supreme Court.
 Somehow the conception of Su- preme Court as a tribunal of highest dignity and immaculate integrity does not harmonize in the mind of a Sfalroughful man with the welfare of yhis state at heart. with picture which presents itself to the imagina- Ios,; z picture of two partisans Of fonistic politics; one of the S9ncn the other of the bar one sitting

WKY AL THIS NOISE9

There is no necessity for any dis agreement on the part of any of the candidates in the recent primary election over the matter of calling a special meeting of the Democratic County Central Committee to con- slider the claims of one of the can didates, who desires an investigation alleging that irregularities occurred in wards and precincts in the recent election.
 Chairman Edgar Brewster has not refused to call a meeting of the cen tral committee. He has issued a call fixing the date for the meeting of the committee for January 2, Lelieving that this date would be preferable and more convenient to not only the local members of the committee. but especially the resi- dents of The rural districts. The average man wants to enjoy the holi- day season without any interrupt ion. We have enough politics ordi- narily throughout the year without finding i. necessary to inject un- pleasant political wraagles into our Yuletide or New Year season.
 The Graphic believes that the date selected ty Chairman Brewster is we'll chosen. The rule governing the calling of special meetings of the central committee requires specia request of at least five members o the coungy committee for 8 meeting only in cases where the chairman refuses to call same. As Mir. Brews ter had not refused to call the meet ing, all ttis wraagling and "politica plays' are not welcomed, especial! while the public has to devote it time to selecting suitable Xmas gift' for their loved one and friends-ant this is rather difficult thing to do
 MT. Brewster was fairly elected There are none who are willing t' say that tne recent primary election was unfairly conducted. MT. Will Hams ,who is contestiag the cleo tion of Mr. Brewster, has thus fal failed to charge fraud, claiming onl! a few irregularities. MT. Brewster does not fear an investigation. H' knows his election was brough about fairly and that his majorit! will hold good.

a clients cause; one a candidate fol political preferment mad the other : | warhOrse of the opposite camp. Te change the picture and make the man before the bar a powerful supporter of the man on the bench does not make the picture more beautiful nor less true to life.
 That decisions of the Supreme Court have been affected hitherto by such a situation, who would affirm? But that decisions might be thus affected hereafter, who would deny?
 Aside from this embarrassing possi- bility under our present laws is the consideration of expediency. There is a commonplace but vital reason for a change in the fact that there is enough and more than enough business to keep all the Supreme Court justices busy all the time. Not one can be spared from the states important judicial business to wage extended campaign for political office.
 If one judge can absent himself from the bench and routine of court duty to play politics what rule or law prevents two from doing it.; or three?
 It seems therefore that it would be wise and good statemanship for the coming legislature to enact a statute to prohibit a member of the Supreme Court from becoming candidate for another office without first resigning from the bench.

Actors Don't Use Walking Sticks.

There is one profession that has all ways refrained from carrying a walk. ing stick. The actor knows well that on the stage he must walk without extraneous support, and he knows that the mere hint of walking stick 1n his hand as he walks the streets is 9 temptation to lean this way or that. Actors, even when out of a job, never lean on stick. They know that their balanced walk is their asset. If the whole of society recurs to walking sticks tho actors will refrain.
