What can be said of his legal attainments and fitness for the bench is not known outside the coun ty of Lincoln, He certainly has made no legal splash in the state, outside Lincoln county. Men are liable to differ as to specifications and requirements necesary to make a good judge, but men seldom differ as to political rewards. De trust, the new judge, notwithstanding his Democracy, will make a fair and impartial one, and keep the balances well oiled and the sword of justice bright and free from stain. ae AGAIN ASK A The Rapid G: rowth of Traffic NCKEASING DEPENDENCE of the American people upon lways, notwithstanding the very marked and rapid development of other means of transportation, is evidenced by the fact that while the population increased 68 per cent, from! 1890 to 1920, the ton mileage reported for the rail-| ways increased 443 per cent; passenger miles in- creased 300 per cent; and investment in road and equipment increased 156 per cent. The most sig: nificant comparison suggested by these figures is that between the growth in the freight business of the carriers and the increase in investment. In| this thirty-year period the percentage growth in the volume of freight traffic as measured by ton-| miles, was nearly three times the increase in capi-| tal investment. . | In part, this was merely the expected result of the pioneering represented by railroad builders in| the quarter century following the Civil war. The, Good Roads and Transportation Bring Prosperity to Us All BY FRED PA’ in many cases the extension of lines into unde- veloped regions which could not immediately fur- nish any considerable traffic. What may be called the early disproportion between immediate trafiic! and extent of roadway was much greater, of course, than that between traffic and railway equipment and other facilities. But, in the aggregate, rail- road investment had run ahead of traffic. A slack- ening pace in railroad building was inevitable. Since about 1890, the increase in railroad mileage has been at a diminishing rate. In only one year since 1914 have additions of new railway lines been as much as 1,000 miles. The period since the country’s agriculture, mining, and manufac- turing, which the pioneer builders of the railways, made possible.

It at least would settle the question of the relative incorruptibility of the sexes. We have iad pretty tough luck in securing men of the proper} character to undertake the work of enforcement. Many of them are no sooner on the job than they become blind to objects perfectly discernable to others, and insensible to things to which they were formerly very much alive. They assume their jobs poor but honest, they don’t wait until they resign before they show evidences of wealth and ride in touring cars The salaries paid are not sufficient to raise the job above the temptations presented by the other} side. It is sad but true, in many case, the law-| breakers outbid the government in a matter of sal-| | | | ary and financial rewards to be gained. And that may explain the failure of eyesight and other senses of certain enforcers. That wome n orrupted would be a fooli j us well as the increase in traffic actually handled. When the heavy traffic of the last three years of the war period developed, the equipment of the railways did not expand correspondingly. Oe Where Blame Rests | N REPLY to criticism of the code of criminal! procedure it has been said more than once that the fault is with judges rather than with the law,| in the excessive liberties granted by the courts, quite unnecessarily, to zealous counsel. As for instance the extending of trials to unconscionable length, the dragging into a case of sentimentulities and irrelevances, and a great array of expert testi mony in certain cases, whose value is nullified and worthless, because given strictly in the interest of the side which caused the summons to be issued. These are some of the things that bring criticism of courts and codes, The demand for reformation is urgent and has been for some years, and courts and members of the al jrofessicn are in great measure to blame for) disrespect that is shown courts and disobedi-| Roy D.
