Nevada Bar Association

Judge Ben w, Coleman OF Ely, dis
trict Judge oil the Ninth District
Court of Nevada. is working on a
plan to remove the Nevada Judiciary
from the field OF politics. That isn't
the easiest thing in the world To do,
but Judge Coleman j, trying to work
out a plan just the same. The Judge
is an exceptionally able man, ard it Is
hoped that his efforts will bear some
fruit but he has undertaken one ex-
tremely difficult task. This question.
the proposition OF taking the Judi
ciary of the State out OF politics, will
be discussed at the meeting of the
Nevada State Bar Association when
il meets in Reno on October 10Th. 1t
is known that a number of the lead
ing lights OF the State believe with
Dean Vance of the University OF
Minnesota, that the system OF clect-
ing Judges to office. the system pre-
vailing in this state, is not a system
BY means of which the best men are
secured for the bench In strong
speech at the recent meeting of the
Missouri Bar Association. w. B.
Vance. Dean Of the law department
Of the University OF Minnesota, SAID
in speaking OF the primary system OF
choosing judicial candidates: ITO
me it seems the election OF the judi
ciary is bad enough. but the situation
is made even worse by the primary
laws that have been passed by so
many states The people at large,
however honest their intent, canno,
possibly determine mans fitness for
judicial office"

a few years ago the Republicans
charged the Democratic party with
being obstructionistS, having no ad-
hesive qualities, that it could not car
ry any issue to a successful conclu-
sion. Now all OF that prophesy has
been doubly discounted. Now the
Democratic party does things that
bring results. The Republican party
is now the party OF obstructionists.

Satan Has Too Much Company
Ii there were not so many boys and
young men on the streets on Sundays
loafing, swearing and serving the
devil. there would be less for the po-
lice to do at time when there
should be nothing for the officials to
do. If all the boys and young men
would go to Sunday School and
church this city would very soon be
known as one of the most desirable
places i'll the country in which to live.
There is too much loafing on the
