THE RETIREMENT OF JUDGE SPEER
WITHOUT A TRIAL not FAVORED
By Committee of Investigation Such Plan Was Not
Started by Judge Speer WhO However, Would Not
Have Opposed Proposed Bill and Retired Under Its
Provisions Had He First Been ExOReratCd Of Exist
ing Charges

of the subcommittee which conducted
the investigation of the charges
against Speer, are unwilling to exon,
crate him, and rather question the
wisdom of authorizing retirement ua-
der the circumstances.
Concerning the movement to re-
tire speer, it is known here that as
far back as last October, Congress-
man Bartlett, of Macon, was ap-
preached by one of Speer's counsel
about bill to retire federal judges
who have served continuously for 2j
years. The passage and approval OF
such measure would have made
Speer eligible for retirement, aud
thus obviated the necessity for a con
gressional investigation and possible
impeachment proceedings.
Judge Bartlett replied to this sug-
gestion that in view of Speer's long
service, his age and the precarious
state of his health, that he individ-
ually had no desire to oppose such a
bill. He declared that he thought it
might be to the best interests of the
southern district and of all concerned
if the situation was relieved by the
passage of a bill that would enable
Speer to retire from the bench.

Washington, D. c., March 20 - The
movement to drop the charges against
Federal Judge Emory Speer of the
south Georgia district, and to retire
him from the bench by special act of
congress, is not likely to succeed. 1t
is probable that further efforts in this
direction will be abandoned, and that
the judiciary committee will proceed
with its consideration of the evidence
against the accused jurist, with a view
to determining whether he shall be
impeached by the house and arraigned
before the bar of the United States
senate.
Following the publication last Sun
day of the plan to retire Judge Speer,
prematurely, and thus obviate the pos
sibility of impeachment proceedings,
it was announced by friends of the
jlrist that he had not sought retire
ment, and that the suggestion of it
came from members of congress.
Surprise has been occasioned by
this attitude of Judge Speer, and pes-
sons who have felt an interest in pre-
mature retirement today expressed
themselves as unwilling to proceed
further along this line.
Moreover, it appears that members

CHRISTIAN FORBERANcE.

Church denominations, of whatever
kind or creed, have in common, one
great and noble purpose Wis: The bet
terment of mankind, spiritually. moral
ly and physically Therefore, 1t is
greatly to be regretted that any one
engaged in such work should find it
necessary to politically denounce or
condemn other denominations in or
der to attempt to carry to success the
work of his high calling. Will God,
who is as the scriptures declare, truth
and love, reward services thus per-
formed? Were it not for the fact that
the, general public Is not so unchar-
liable or narrow minded as to be WISH
bly, swayed by false and extravagant
statements, there certainly would be
danger of bringing the work of all the
churches into general disrepute by
such methods. Our Master said Judge
not, that we be not judged" Also,
therefore all things whatsoever We
do ye even SO unto them for this Is
would that men should do unto you.
the la wand the prophets" Thus it
would seem incumbent on us in striv-
ing to do the work and will of our
Master, to keep in our consciousness
the Golden Rule. And be it said in
defense Of principle, and in justice
to those so denounced and misrepre-
scented, that all church services are
free to the public and that whom
soever will may come and drink of the
water of life freely" for, "Ye shall
know the Truth and the Truth shall
make you free"

The New Policeman.

In the of municipal reconstruction and
regeneration sweeping over the land the DO
iceman is beginning to have a share. We have
talked about the new" city politics, the new
city charter the new" city executive, the new
community spirit, and now we are beginning to
talk about the new" policeman.
But this change is not much a matter of
externas as in spirit and attitude. The old no.
ton that the typical "cop' must be flord-faced,
brutal bully, holding his position by being as
cruel as the men he sends up, is giving away to
the idea that policeman must be gentleman.
And the old notion that the best "cop' is he

the Central Christian church started
today. when the first gravel was haul
ed to the site on Twelfth and North

At meeting last night the board
approved the plans which have been
drawn. The building will be finished
after the manner OF the Honeywell
tabernacle, only more substantially
constructed. The interior walls will be
rough and upholstered. Seating ca
pacity for 1000 persons is provided in
the main auditorium In addition there
will be several smaller rooms for Sun

who makes the least number Of arrests; not be-
cause he is negligent of duty but because he pre-
vents crime in his district. In fact we are COM
ing to feel-we could cite cases to prove our point
if space permitted-that a policeman should be
the embodied conscience Of a community patrol
ing the streets; one who will attract rather than
repel; one whose ambition is to inspire citizens
to an admiration and respect for order rather
than to terrorize them into dread and fear of
the law.
The germ Of this ideal seems to have in1plant-
ed in the mind of our new Chief of Police, Mr..
Goodwin. Here's hoping the germ will some day
come to full development.

TO The Editor Palladium !:

TO The Editor Palladium:
My attention has been called to the
fact that a short time since there was
q statement made in your paper, that
/ had filed q remonstrance to having
an arc light placed at the corner of
South Eighth and H streets, and that
it was supposed l would now with
draw same, as / had recently been
held up and robbed of $500 in money
at my premises. / wish to state that
l do not intend to withdraw my re-
monstrance, as / object to the light on
the grounds that it will destroy the
enjoyment of the main part of my
premises and as the light would
serve just as we'll il placed at South
Eighth and l streets, and would &C
commodate the residents of that sec
ton, since they seem to enjoy the
glare of electric light. AS to the hold
up and robbery, that certainly origi-
mated in some ones fertile imagina
ton.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Grothaus.

Solution of the Garbage Question.

At a session Monday morning the Board OF
Works devoted an hour so to discussing the
garbage situation The various remarks made
revealed where the real root of the difficulties
affecting garbage is to be found.
An excellent ordinance was passed and ap-
proved by the Council September 8, 1913. This
covers quite adequately all points of garbage COL
lection and disposal. Considerable publicity was
given to this ordinance at the time it was passed
and there is no excuse for the citizens being ig-
norant of it's provisions. Nevertheless it is found
that large percentage of Richmond people are
completely ignoring it.
It is undoubtedly this Indifference of the
citizens themselves to their own laws and ordin-
snces that lies at the bottom Of so many of the
bad conditions which plague us. A law is not an
automatic self enforcing thing The police de-
partment cannot possibly keep going about from
house to house to that every individual is full
filling the law. If the citizens do not have enough
civic pride and self respect to cooperate with the
city officials, the citizens have no right to COM
plain of the ncompetency of any official
The thing that we need in all Of our cities is
an awakened sense of responsibility the part
of individuals. We often say that an official IS
la trustee of the public; so also is every private
person. Each and every one of us is responsible
for the state of affairs to the extent of his in
Ifluence.
In recent speech at Cincinnati, Felix Adler
made stirring address before the City Club in
which he said that he had at one time supposed
it to be the duty of every voter to entertain a
cordial hatred of the political boss and that he
then imagined that the extirpation of political
bosses would purify our American politics. But
he confessed that he has come to believe that
the political boss is little than scape-goat
on which the indifferent and negligent citizens
saddle the responsibility for their own failures.
There is doubt, suppose that very often
lwhile is calling down fire from heaven
on the head of some incompetent city official the
Recording Angel is pointing at the man himself
and saying, Thou art the man."
1t is a splendid thing for man to go on the
battle field inspired by patriotism for his own
country and face bullet and shrapnel; but it is
la thing quite as heroic and quite splendid to
develop in ones self the patriotism of peace and
to have the same loyalty towards ones commun-
ity that the soldier feels towards his flag.
If we not faithful over small things how
shall we ever be given charge over large things
Citizens who do not obey the garbage ordinance
are doing on small scale what Benedict Arnold
did on big scale And if disease and ill health
result from the unsanitary condition of our al
leys, certainly will be the case, John Smith and
Sam Jones and Bill Brown and every other priv
ate citizen who has been indifferent to the law
will be responsible for the deaths and the losses
due thereto.

ANGUISHED

Lord, is 1t a sin to live
That who live again
In Thee must live our bitter Here
An anguished Now of pain?
Is sunlight to be paid for
By that it was made for
BY longings untitled
And dreams that fade from view
Like songs that grief has stilled
And hopes that ne'er come true?
Lord, is it such crime to grow
That we whose years increase
Must never any joyance know
Of high peace?
Is laughter of such heavy
We pay for it in tost
And agony and tears,
And the long, dark, hopeless years,
Seeing beauty passing by
So low our power, it's strength so high?
Lord, is pleasure such blot
That hell is made thrice burning hot
For those to scorch in who dare smile
Against the shadowy Afterwhe?
All we have need for patience more
IN this spiritual war,
Than ever great commander needed
Whose hosts by trampling terror speeded
Rushed to destruction through alright
And more than all, the Light!
