LAW PARTNER WRITES

Editor The Star: In the summer
OF 1897. Milo A. Root moved from
Olympia to Seattle. and he came
into our office. During the two
years 10 lowing MIR. Root par
,icipated IN the handling OF
many important matters ia our
office. He WA competent and
faithful in all matters He was
one OF the most relf-sacrificlng and
unseliish men that ! have known.
His business dealings were abso-
iuteiy honest aud he had high re
gard for the truth.
Mr.. Root was later appointed one
OF the Judges OF the supreme court
OF the state OF Washington. His
decisions are there for every one 10
read. The attack on Judge Root
tuted authorities for such inyesti-
cation. Nothing reflecting upon his
honesty or integrity WIS found. In
view OF the result OF these ingcsti-
cations. II seems 10 me that your
attack upon him is unwarranted
Eight years ago Judge Root re-
turned TO Seattle and entered the
practice OF law. He has had an
honorable career as practitioner
nj the King county bar during the
last eight years--a career that any
aspirant for a juigeship has a right
TO be proud OF. His career is an
open book 10 his friends. neighbors,
fellow-attorneys. associates and To
the public. IL Is not possible for
man who has had such an eminent
and honorable career as a lawyer
for the last eight years to have
been an unfit Judge. for the proceed
ing four. The fact that Judge
Root has been able 10 stand this
attack and TO hold himself as a
man above reproach is strong evil
dence that he Is worthy OF the
judgeship.
His legal attachments are OF
very high order. He possesses the
ability 20 discriminate readily and
TO express clearly A Judge with
these qualities renders the admins
tratIon OF Justice more expeditions
and more effective.
The wide publication OF the cir.
cumstances with reference TO Judge
Roots supreme court record prob.
ably Is owing TO the fact that some
members OF the bar. and others.
have the foolish idea that they can
show their own righteousness bv
condemning what is rumorea
wrong In another.
