A TWO-EDGED SWORD.

The Vicksburg Herald in COM
menting upon the recent article by
Hon. H. Cassidy in the Greer
Bonding Case says
1T will be recalled that the Su-
preme Court recently decided the
said'company was liable to thirty
per cent damages for "a delayed
settlement" of the default of Sher-
iff Greer, of Lincoln County. In
his communication Mr.. Cassidy as
serts that the delay" was in no
manner caused by the surety COM
pany-that its attorney came to
Brookhaven Immediately and prof.
cred settlement But that a con-
tention grew up between the dis
trict attorney, attorney general and
the defaulter's successor over mon
ey in the bank. Whereupon the
district attoney brought suit to de-
termine the merits of the contro-
versy Certainly, If this delay was
thus caused there is injustice IN
making the bonding company pay
for it,"
x x * x x
The suggestion that surety COM
panies are to be 'preyed upon be-
cause they are supposed to have
money is not inconsistent'with the
prevailing Mississippi proclivity,
for socking it to the corporations
and foreign capitalists that stray
over her borders Mr.. Cassidy has
simply presented the custom from
a new angle, and as two-edged
sword. While such a corporation
policy is wholly vicious, The Herald
takes issue with Mr.. Cassidy s view
of the consequences, in this partic-
ular case.
"While a decided convenience.
we have our decided doubts that the
bonding of public officials by surety
companies is q wholesome provis-
ion. 1t lifts risks and responsibil-
tiles from the men who elect the,
officials that they might we'll as in
former times. be required to carry.
That is, they could be more dill
gent in discharging the duties of
citizenship. if so obligated. Un-
der the security bond law it stands
to reason the trustworthiness OF
men chosen to offices of trust is not
SO apt TO receive due care and con-
sideratIon, as if they were depend
ent. upon their friends for their
bonds. In this light it is not SO
bad if the trust companies are
driven out of the state, by the in
Justice imposed upon them in the
Greer decision. Nor is there any
cause for fear that this paticular
obligation and penalty. which Mr..
Cassidy uses as a warning, would
ever befall Citizen bondsmen.
District attorneys will never be so
jealous as to bring suit against
them, after the governor and after
ney general had remitted damages.
as in this case.
Leaving out the question of the
difficult life of big corporations in
the State the point made by the
Herald that under the security
bond law the trustworthiness of
men chosen to Offices of trust IS net
SO apt to receive due care and con-
sideration as if they we're depend
eut on their friends for their
bonds" reverts to the Irresponsible
ity of an aggregation. of mass or
mob as compared with individual
accountability and uprightness and
expresses a foundation principle to
be sincerely regarded by the people
in the election of any officer.
