Once there was a tradition that a
Judge should be an able, upright man
learned in the law, and there are some
judges who measure up to this ira
dition; but the tradition is no longer
the rule. Learning in the law mas
come to merely mean ability to secure
the right to practice. Reverence Tor
trptb and right do not carry the
weight they once carried. The trouble
is that our system is wrong. Election
by the legislature is not election by the
people. The average legislator IS moi
as well qualified to select judge as is
the average voter. Judges OF all othei
public officials, should be elected by "a
direct vote Of the people.

cotton is Gthe: question:. '.'how are you
going to get any money!" =!
Granted that good, many farmers in
this country made money out Of the
crops of 1918 and 1918. will. somebody
please tell us some other year during
which, making the calculations along
strictly business lines, anybody has
ever me de any real profit raising COT
ton? TO be sure. in some cases the
land owners have come out a little
ahead Of the game; but answer honest
ly this question: How about the man
who did the work?" Did he ever get
even fair. wage for his labor?
II a. man has a cotton crop on hand
now that he cannot sell at the cost OF
production, and If he cannot. see how
he can make another crop on a basis OF
what he can get. for his present crop
what does he want to make another
crop for? 3,s@r.:.
It is foolish to talk about raising cot
ton in this county without commercial
fertilizers. It is only the fewest NUM-
Der of farmers who can do it-thosSe
who have for years. been improving
their lands by means of intelligent ro-
tation system But there are. many
cases all over York county of farmers
who now have every pound of cotton
that they raised last year. and who cam
not sell it for enough to settle the fer
tilizer notes they incurred in the max
ing. Then why buy fertilizers with
which to raise another crop?. -
If it is simply question of handling
some. cash money next fall or some
time during the year or next year, 1t is
all right to go ahead raising some more
cotton; but if it is question OF paying
past Indebtedness or having a proht
with which to indulge in luxuries, you
are not going to accomplish either END
by raising more cotton. a..
According to the way The YorkVille
Enquirer sees. it, the farmers. whether
they have cotton or not, will this year
make up their minds that the world has
all the cotton it needs: for this year ana
next year, and govern themselves ae-
cordingiy. It is quite probable that
those who do this. will be deprived OF
the pleasure of handling somebody
else's cash this summer and !s: next fall;
b but, t.; nevertheless next fall will find the
titles to their lands and other property
al least as secure as they are now.
