By Districts or at Target

The debate in the bar association convention
over the method Of selecting supreme court
Judges touches one of the fundamentals of free
government. 1t is proposed that six of the
judges be chosen from districts and only the
chief justice be elected by the state at large.
The supposed advantage of this lies in that it
will make certain that from each OF certain
designated subdivisions of the state one Judge
of the supreme coure will be selected.
Whether the benefit that will accrue to the
district itself extends to the state as a whole
may be questioned. The plan will narrow the
choice of candidates, and tend to establish the
parochial control of the court. In the lower
courts the effort has been to so partition the
state as to provide convenient access for the
citizens to courts of justice. In these the laws
of the state are variousy construed and ap
piled, the ends Of justice always supposed to be
kept in sight It is for the supreme court to
harmonic the divergences that may creep into
the decisions or practices of the subordinate
tribunals, function that is not only important
but vital, and which should not be circum-
.cribed in any way by the possibility, however
remote, Of local interest
1t is not shown that the Jurisprudence OF
Nebraska has suffered in any material respect
because of the custom of election of judges OF
the highest state court by the votes Of all the
people Neither does it appear that this will
be improved by allowing the selection to be
made by divisions.
The nonpartisan primary choice OF candi-
dates has not, perhaps, worked out ideally, but
it is in keeping with the spirit of democracy
as at present understood. Difference OF opinion
as to the qualification of the candidates fire.
quently exist between the voters and the mem
bers of the bar, but the latter should at al
times remember that the choice finally rest:
with the voters. Judges may be experts" az
| one lawyer characterzes them, but they also
are public servants, and sometimes the one who
is nearest the people gives the most satisfac
| ton. because his decisions have human quail
| ity, and are not all conceived in the atmosphere
| of pure reason
