DO You step in front of people out

because you observe the conventions
when you are with your friends and so
called equals? Then you are really a

Code Of Ethics for Bench

To ne Editor Of the E"cnino Public Ledger:
Sir--I have read that a committee
Of tho American Bar Association,
headed by Chief Justice Taft, has pre-
pared tentative code Of ethics for the
judiciary. Prior to the action Of the
national body in January. the thirty
two canonS Of the code are kent secret
II is understood. however, that the
cod" of ethics undertakes to regulate
the private lives Of judges as well as
prescribe their actions on the bench.
10 the ordinary person, such n code
Is likely to appeal merely rs the height
OF fntility. \ Judge whose sense Of
honor is not keen enough TO appreciate
right and wrong and who is not con-
Sclentious enough to observe the die
tates OF proper conduct in private as
well rs official actions will not be made
much better by a written code.
IN" public j. entitled to high
minded judiciary. but judges who are
exceptions will find no bar to surrpp-
titiouS imnroprictics in solcmnly ap-
proved code Of morals.
in way Il written code is a bad
fhlnS as we'll As Il futile thing. 1t
would be impossible to set forth all the
acts and circumstances which might bc
improper. but any reasonably alert
judge of right impulses will be able to
determine the proper conduct at the
proper time. Those who offend the
prnpricticS will be discovered quite as
well without n code. ANSONIA.
