concerning the mysterious death Of
Milly Stockbridge I think that l
should have betrayed What | knew

sertion. As it was, l repressed my
start of dismay, simply asked the
very natural question:
what in the world are you talk
ing about?"
II know you think I'm as de-
mented as poor Milly was" she re-
piled, "but you must be patient with
me. I've never in my life had such
shock as was mine when Milly's
sister sent for me tonight"
l realized that | had made a
blunder in trying to question her,
that I had only confused her in
stead of aiding her, and | fastened
to rectify my mistake.
Suppose you begin at the begin
ming and tell me the entire story
I said soothingly. Then / can get
the whole thing clear in my mind,
and we can decide what is best to
do"

the tale Alice Holcombe began

CRITICISM OF JUDGES.

The imprisonment of newspaper editor IN Memphis
Tenn on charge Of contempt Of court is resulting in
wholesome questioning throughout the country OF the
oftasserted immunity of the bench from public criticism
The editor concerned had published political edit
oria in which he mentioned no names but made gen
era criticism Of political conditions and their connection
with the judiciary This was taken by Memphis judge
as personal criticism of him. On the ground that the
editor had attacked him in order to influence pending
law suit he ordered the editor to jail for ten days
Whether this particular action was just or unjust
need not be discussed Most Of those who have comment
ed upon it seem to think the editor within his rights
AS regards the right and duty Of newspapers to crticse

era agreement but personally have, in over thirty
wears experience found any necessity for crtcsng
local courts and have found that rule only up
right Judges occupy the BENCH who sometimes make mis-
takes in judgment but are never corrupt or vena.
AS matter of fact, most editors who attack local
courts trying to create sensation and their course IS
detrimental to the best interests of the community in that
they seek to undermine public confidence in courts by
making sweeping general charges Of corruption that are
baseess If they are not themselves rogues they are
bigger fools than anybody else except the occasional
Judge who now and then puts OF them in jail That
course generally makes martyr of man who deserves
only to be ignored In this connection it should be remem
beed that such an incident started Senator George f.
Chamberlain his long and triumphant political career
in this state, and it came about in this way: u

But the right of honest criticism of any official
the judiciary cannot be denied since that should be
of the duties of independent press This view is sup
ported by Former President Taft himself one of the most
distinguished members of the bench and bar In address
ing the American Bar Association at comparatively
cent session he said:
"The opportunity freely and publicly to criticize ju
dica action of vastly Importance to the body pol
c than the immunity of courts and judges from unjust
asperations and attack
Nothing tends to render judges careful of their
decisions and anxousy soctous do exact Justice than
the consciousness that every act Of theirs be subject

fellowmen. There are few men, whether they
judges for life for shorter term who do not pre-
fer to and hold the respect Of ALL and who cannot be
reached and made to pause and deliberate by hostile pub
lie criticism.
In the Of judges having life tenure their very
independence makes the right freely to comment their
decisions Of greater Importance because it is the only
practical and available instrument in the hands Of the
people to keep such judges alive to the reasonable de-
mands of those they serve"
