The Senate of the United States has found Federal Judge Halstead L. Ritter of a Florida district court guilty of accepting $4,500 from a former law partner to whom Judge Ritter has allowed a re- ' ceivership fee of $75,000, thus bringing the court into scandal and disrepute Ritter is the fourth Judge to be found guilty and impeached. Eight in all have faced the Senate on similar charges, three being acquitted and one re- signing before a verdict could be rendered. One President, Andrew Johnson, a Senator and a Secre- tary of War have ifaced impeachment charges in the nation’s history but no one of the three was found guilty. President Johnson the narrow margin of one vote, No matter what criticism we may find occasion to make relative to our court procedure or the laws which the court may be called upon to interpret, the dignity and integrity of our courts must be maintained if our present structure of government is to stand as it has stood The courts, it should be understood, do not make the laws; that is a matter for the people through their representatives in Con- gress. But the courts do uphold those laws that the people want and have through their agents enacted. It is, as in the Ritter case, when those entrusted with the sacred duty of upholding the laws violate their trust that justice actually is The danger is never in changing or amending our laws, including the Constitution, but rather it is the integrity of the men we put upon our benches. For- tunate we are, and a high compliment it is to our jurists down through the of our existence that only four have been found guilty of violating their trust and the integrity of but eight has ever been questioned. We doubt if there is any profession where the average of absolute honesty is anywhere near as high. escaped ouster by through the years. in jeopardy years national G. O. P. STILL SHORT A MAN As the campaign continues, the evidence continues to show lack of an outstanding candidate in the Republican camp while the popularity of President Roosevelt grows more solid. One of the latest to notice the trend is Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, Presi- dent of Columbia University, who has recently turned from a trip through a large section of the country. Commenting on his return to New York, he said: re- The Republican party must find a candi- date of higher intellectual and statesmanship qualifications than any of those now talked of. I have been through 13 states and have had opportunity to make inquiry regarding the state of public opinion and I have a very dis- tinct impression that thinking people every- where are deeply concerned about the future policies of our government. There is a very general liking for the per- sonality of President Franklin Roosevelt and a very general belief that he is trying to do the best he can in the public interest, but at the same time there is opposition to public favor it they will promptly | policies. When I asked concerning the out- look for the election, I was quickly made aware of the widespread lack of confidence in the present-day Republican party, due to its fail- ure to produce constructive and courageous leadership or to present a policy national and international to lay before the people Almost every one with whom I spoke sharp- ly criticized the Republican party of today as having nothing to say beyond vigorous and emphatic criticism of the policies of the pres- ent administration. Gov. Landon’s strength rests, I am told, upon the fact that he is largely unknown Nevertheless, there has developed very strong | opposition to his candidacy, because of the fact that he is the whole-hearted choice of William Randolph Hearst. The impression I obtained is very clear. It is that if the Republican party hopes to elect a President in 1936 it must find a candidate of much higher intellectual and statesman- like qualifications than any of those now being talked of. The Republicans at Cleveland may be able to discover a great unknown, but, as Dr Butler says, they are woefully lacking at this time, with the con- in Presidential timber. | [ vention only two months away, Harry Hopkins speaking in Cleveland: “WPA has been accused of boondoggling.

The Supreme Court of the United States recently spiked one of the most out- | rageous of such attempts, in Louisiana.
