JUDICIARY OBJECT OF
PITBLIC SUSPICION

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 27.-
EITHER the federal bench of the Uni
ted States must be filed from now on
with men who can win back the re-
spect of the people for the judiciary,
which has been forfeited, or the re-
call of federal judges is going to come
ard is going to tear the robe from
some of the highest judges in the
country"
This is the opinion given to Attor-
ney General McReynolds by Senator
Lane of Oregon the other day. Lane
is not lawyer; he is just doctor
and stanch champion of common
folks rights. His sincerity in this
warning SO impressed McReynolds
that the latter asked to have Lanes
remarks sent him in writing. Lane
complied.
"It's a serious thing when the ju-
dietary of the nation are the object of
public suspicion" said the Oregon
senator. ut indicates trouble ahead
for the judges. We want men put
on the bench in our part Of the coun-
try. when vacancies are to be filed,
who will not only be above suspicion,
but will redeem the reputation Of their
rank"
