HOW CAN THE ADDITIONAL JUDGE BEST
SERVE THE MOST PEOPLE?


SERVE THE MOST PEOPLE?
1t must be borne in mind that the
clerk of the court cannot sign all or
ders which must come from the court,
and when it is presented to him, If no
Judge resides in his parish, the matter
must be delayed until the order can be
sent to the Judge where he does reside,
giving delay, which, at least, is some
times fatal to the rights of the party
seeking through the courts redress
for wrong done. A Judge in Grant
parish renders it possible for courts to
be in session and open continuously in
both parishes, serving both parishes
best.
Parties charged with crime in each
parish can have more perfectly granted
to them the constitutional right of a
speedy trial, as the party charged will
not have to await the return of the
Judge from the other parish, but can
demand and receive at once his trial,
thus working in the same way to the
advantage and benefit of both parishes,
giving to the innocent man his most sa-
cred right, his liberty and freedom if
innocent; if guilty, giving him the
privilege of serving the time which he
is putting up in the Jail in paying the
penalty assessed against him by the
court, and an all round saving to
whichever parish that has jurisdiction
over him the expense of boarding him.
True this cannot be otherwise in all
the parishes, as the law does not pro-
vide for a Judge in every parish, yet it
can apply to Grant parish if the right
path is pursued by the voters in giving
unto her the extra judge.
AS A MATTER OF CONVENIENCE TO THE
PEOPLE, WHERE OUGHT THE JUDGE
TO BE LOCATED?
| Surely it would convenience no one
for him to be in Rapides parish. II
the judge already there can perform ali
the duties, at least which come under
the head of emergencies, and no one
will for moment question he can, two
judges, nor two hundred judges would
not make it-more convenient than it il
now for the people of Rapides parish,
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1914-08-08

that they should not both reside in the
same parish when two judges were
given to district of more than one
parish, constitutional prohibition was
placed against such condition existing.
HOW THIS NEW OR ADDITIONAL JUDGE
SHIP WAS CREATED.
The volume of business in the 18th
district became too large for one judge
to dispose of all the business and he
was forced to call for help, rs the dock
ct was falling far behind and becoming
very much congested. The district
Judge stated that he could easily per-
form the duties of the Office if he were
relieved of the labor of holding court
in Grant parish. An effort was at once
made on the part of both parishes to
have an additional Judge created, pre-
sumably to take care of the Grant par
ish docket and to assist in clearing and
keeping clear the Rapides parish dock
ct. and giving to the people prompt ac-
ton in the courts of the country.
1t was thought that there would be
no contention as to where the addition
al judge was to reside. 1t was thought
by the Grant parish people that natu-
rally fairness would suggest that he
should reside in Grant parish. and this
idea then was Joined in by large per
cent of the citizens of the other parish.
Even some who then entertained that
view are now seeking to secure the ad.
ditional judgeship, and thus have two
judges in Rapides parish and none in
Grant.
TO WHOM DOES THE ADDITIONAL JUDGE
BELONG?
The additional judge as created il
the property of no particular party,
parish. faction. or political combination.
1t belongs by the terms of its creation
to the 18th Judicial District of Louisi.
ana, and it was the intention. l dare
say, of every man who voted for the
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1914-08-08

There would be no less expense for the
citizens of Rapides to see the judge if
they wish a personal interview with
him, for in that event he has the same
trip to make with two judges in Alex
andria as with one, and with the same
incidental expense of travelling and ho-
tel bills.
How is it with Grant? Except dur
ing the term of court, if any citizen of
Grant wishes to have any kind of an in
terview with the district judge he has
to leave his parish. Some of them 60
distance of over fifty miles before he
reaches him, while if this additional
Judge were in Colfax he would be re-
leased or relieved of that burden of
heavy expense.
DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WITH
THE JUDGE IN GIVING HIS TIME TO
THE COURT OVER WHICH HE
PRESIDEs?
Human nature and economy are two
of the controlling powers of mans
movements, both exercising great in
fiuence over him. But, you ask, where
does this come in, in the judgeship?
Here it is. If the judge comes from
Alexandria to hold court he is away
/ from home at an expense of from two
to five dollars per day, and too fire.
quently, even with judges, this is an
incentive for him not to give to the
trial of cases that elaboration that il
due every case that comes before him;
while, if one judge is in Alexandria and
one in Colfax, then this condition OF
affairs cannot exist, cannot arise. He
is at home with his family and at ne
additional expense, no occasion to hurry
up any proceedings, further than ju-
dicial economy and saving of expense
to the parish, etc.
For the above reasons the parish Of
Grant feels that she is entitled to this
Office. this additional judgeship. There
are others that could be named, but il
these are not sufficient to convince, j,
is useless to plead further. The pres.
emit Judge, w. F. Blackman, is not eff
fected in the least by this additions
judge.
