THE CASE OF JUDGE lands.

Whatever may be the outcome of the impeach-
ment proceedings instituted against Judge lands
and this is no brief in behalf Of them,-that he
has used bad Judgment in accepting the post 'as

bad judgment in every thing except PERHAPS his

Kenesaw Mountain lands that was elevated to
the baseball dictatorship. without his judgeship he
would probably not have been considered. The i'm
propriety of his accepting the post is plainly
forth in the proposed articles OF impeachment,
whether the onenses charged render him lmpeach-
able or not.
The improperly of a federal Judge taking up such
work IS plain on it's face-to those who realize the
significance federal judgeship. Most people like
TO regard their judges freed from worldly infu-
ences. Some think they should have but Judi
eial rinions Assuredly the less entangle-
nents they get into the greater their bid for
the public confidence, and without that confidence
the courts greatly diminished in their value
There prophecies higher than the law; indigni-
ties that a judge can commit without violating
the letter Of the statute The spirit OF the law is
more important. We cannot believe that Judge
Lands has acted as wisely as he might. Caesar,
believe once twice even thrice refused to take the
crown.
There is altogether too much disposition the
part OF various concerns and particularly. times
