Judge Speer also is a most eloquent

of the University of Georgia, and has
always been a great friend of that
institution.
The newspapers of the State and
the public men generally all have

more to wish for in that direction.

Judge Richard q. Russell is to have
no opposition for reelection to the
state Court Of Appeals. He is now
the chief Justice Of the Court, hav
ing been automatically promoted to
that high position upon the retire
ment Of Judge Benjamin Ill., who
left the Appellate Bench some few
months ago to accept a place on the
Superior Court bench Of Fulton Coun
~
Judge Russell has had a long and
distinguished career on the bench
in Georgia, having served two terms
as Judge Of the Court of Appeals
and two as a Judge Of the Western
Circuit Superior Court He is one
Of the hardest working judges that
ever sat on either bench. He works
rapidly moreover, and therefore man
ages to turn out a tremendous
amount Judge Russell because Of
his great capacity for judicial work

Judge Russell.
When Judge Russell was candi
date for Governor several years ago,
he did not resign from the bench of
the Court OF Appeals, but he never
neglected one task assigned TO him.
He made hard campaign for Gov
ernor making as many as seven
speeches in one day, as the cam
paign drew near to its close-but he
would manage to run into Atlanta
at regular intervals. often going far
out of his way to do this, and then
work practically all night long on
his court work, rather than let 1t get
the least bit behind or impose on his
colleagues.
Those who were associated with
Judge Russell in that fight know how
conscientious he was in the matter
OF his court work, and no charge
thrown at him in his campaign was
more unjust or unfair than that dur
ing that campaign he neglected the
Court of Appeals.
However, all people now realize the
unjustness of that charge-and so,
Judge Russell is to be e-elected with

lawyer of ability and Conspicuousness
in Georgia seems to think he should

railroad security holders had no busi-
ness to ask a single question about
even the most important deals involv-
ing scores of millions. | recall ask
ing George W. Perkins a simple
question about New York Central
when he was a member of the Nor
gan firm, and he replied most insult
ingly-although it is pleasant to be
able to record that since he left the
influence Of the Corner House he has
developed better manners and a great
er respect for the public, virtues that
do not appear to thrive in the Nor
gan atmosphere.
Perhaps now that all classes of
bankers are to be put under proper
Governmental supervision il will be
possible to tear aside the veil of Sc
crecy that has been so zealously
dominating and domineering bankers.

Publicity will not hurt honest bank
ing 1t will inspire confidence in Sc
curity offerings 1t will remove the
very general suspicion that is palpa-
bly, harbored against bankers Of great
power 1t will benefit the railroads by
clearing them Of the charge that they
are In unholy league with certain
dominating and omineering bankers.
May l suggest to the Interstate
Commerce Commission that it take
steps by and bye to lay before the
public the information it is gathering
from railroads upon this vital subject
of inside" banking?
If the truth hurts, let it hurt. If
millions have been made questionably,
let those who have become rich by
such means and methods be held up
to the scorn they deserve.
If starving beggar puts his hands
in a mans pocket and steals a dollar,
he is promptly and unceremoniously
sent to prison. If wealthy banker
puts his hand in a railroads treasury
and loots 1t of a million dollars, why
should he not suffer a similar fate?
One banker told me of a certain
railroad banking f1otation that he
called nothing short of suave rob-
berry" Such incidents have been all
too common in the past.
Let in the light of publicity on past
deals: have the Interstate Commerce
Commission supervise all railroad Sc
curity issues in the future, and give
an Interstate Trade Commission SINH
lar power over industrial offerings,
and we shall enter a cleaner era.

addition to these lectures, members
OF the faculty have from time to
time given lectures before the High

pie of the two lower counties have

condition, a College Extension Com

dent shortly after the Christmas holi-

closer relation with the people OF the

people Of the entire State Since Del
aware College became a State insti-
tuition in fact as we'll as in name, the
college authorities have been devising
ways and means for increasing the
scope OF the work of the only insti-
tuition of higher learning in the State
and enlarging its sphere Of useful
ness to the people who have contri-
buted literally to its support through
appropriations made by the Legis-
lnture. Among the steps taken thus
far are the establishment of a college
extension bureau, the appointment Of
a publicity committee, the arrange

and athletic contest, and the organi-
zation of a summer school for
