Horace Mann has said: TIE
men fail because of defects il
morals where one fails because o
defects in intellect a deep ant
abiding interest in the general vel
fare of our people because we may
be made happy and contentec
people only by the establishment oil
justice AMI fair dealing and by
the elimination of wrong and in
justice; a deep feeling of kindness
and sympathy because the best
with the human breast yields tt
the sympathetic touch of a kline
and generous heart.
Three things the Courts can give
and the people should have: Econ.
omlcal administration of the courts
Efficient Interpretation of the laws:
encouragement to right living,
Economical Administration of the
Courts. Time is money
Economy is the watchword OF
Democracy and every cent expend-
ed should be used in the interest
OF the people. Eighteen to Twenty
thousand Dollars is mighty big
budget for the people of this dis
trlct to pay each year for its cir
cult courts. And this does not
take into account the expense and
inconvenience to the individual
aside from what comes out of the
county treasury; so every moment
OF the courts time should be spent
In the dispatch of the court so that
all loss of time in needless recesses
and adjournments might be avoided
not only for the benefit of the
county treasury but also for the
benefit of the jurors and witnesses
who come to court at great incon-
venience and loss to themselves
1t is said and it seems. to be true
that a dollar out of the public
treasury will not 90 nearly so far
as a dollar belonging to an individ-
ual. The reason of this is because
the public dollar is not so closely
watched. Should | be your choice.
it will be my endeayor to see that
every dollar expended from the
county treasury will represent work
done and that each public dollar
will get as much as any individual
dollar.
Speed up the Trial of Cases
All cases should be set after Sc
curing information of the nature of
the case and the probable length
Of time necessary fer its proper
trial and the dQckets 50 ARRANGED
that each case, as near as possible,
might be reached and tried on the
day set SO that the expense to the
county and. also. the expense and
Inconvenience to those interested
would be reduced to the smallest
figure. This may be easily done
by proper consideration and ar
raneemIleenIt 81 the doekets pri"-
tbs 9peniaa OF th~ vi t,
the cc',-- court ca tha
-, might be kept busy from
the opening until its close.
Firm Rules of Procedure.
The court should be courteous
and kind to every one before it, re
CARELESS of his station in life, or hi
relations to the causes before tn
court and yet the court should s.
regulate its procedure that all VIII
have business before the cour
might know that when court opens
its time will be given wholly to tn
dispatch of the business before tn
court so that every moment nigh
be used in the transaction of tn
business of the court; that eacl
dollar spent might represent rea
work done and no unnecessary de
lay INDUCED on the part of ony one
Efficient Interpretation of the Law.
Once well done, is twice done.
When | read that sentence as a BIO
in school, it made lasting impres
