In conversation recently with
an eminent attorney Of Arizona,
he very tritely remarked that if
the judge of a superior court was
a clean, honest upright man,
learned in the law, and had
backbone, the governement in
the county over which he held
jurisdiction would be clean in
every respect, as his character
would compel obedience to law,
order and decency. But if he
was a spineless monetlty,
ignorant of law, and given to
crooked INSCRIPTIONS work him
self, the government of such d.
county would sooner or later
become rotten and corrupt. This
attorney is man of wide exper-
ience, and if his conclusions are
correct how important a matter
it is to the people that in the
selection of superior judges the
right kind of timber is chosen to
fill so important position.
