Probably no man in public life here was better liked than “Jim” Agnew, Kindly, generous, honest, “Jim” Agnew, as he was known to young and old alike, served faithfully and well in the interests of the city.

Are the courts of this country the servants of the ane or their master? Are judges from now on to set jemselves up as dictators? Are they to deny the people who created them the right to criticise, impeach or re- Mmove from office their judges who debase the bench? it the court or the judge that is an institution? David Pw, Leahy, judge of the Fourth district court of New ixico, declares without qualification that as far as the Mdiciary of this country goes the public has no rights hatsoever to interfere. We quote from Judge Leahy’s pronouncement from the bench on July 18th: “The public has no right and is capable of deciding whether a court has decided a ion rightly or wrongly,” ruled Leahy, Editor Carl Magee, believing that he had not had a fair trial in dge Leahy’s court, told the public in mass meetings Side of the question. Judge Leahy questions the right of Magee and Magee’s orney, Judge Richards P. Hanna, to go before the people of New Mexico and ask them to judge the merits of his ase. In effect, he says to the people of New Mexico that Once a judge is placed on the bench he is sacrosanct, that his judicial robe places him above all power of the people ® question whatever abuses his court may lend itself to; hat the judge, not the people, is supreme. If that is so e have created a Frankenstein that will sooner or later whelm us with its power. Judge Leahy’s doctrine of he sanctity of judges is but a step further along the line action begun by Attorney General Daugherty, who ts to rule by court injunctions and who also, in effect, es that the courts are mightier than the people om whom they derive their power. We had always held to the opinion that in this republic the final tribunal was the court of public opinion, ex- Mpressed thru whatever lawful action the people might take. It now seems that we are wrong. The people are ot the court of last resort; they are neither capable nor lave they the right to question the fitness or integrity ‘of their own judges. And it is lese majesty to criticise to the slightest de- Hgree the action of one who by virtue of walking up three "Steps and seating himself upon a throne becomes one of ithe princes of earth, ruling by a self-assumed divine right. At least, so these divine right judges say. Some day, ‘the people will have another say. "No home is complete without a few uncomfortable chairs to offer | unwelcome company.

A New Picture for Your Wall Jevver see a picture of the justly-famous horn cf plenty pouring out its golden treasure on the happy hoi-polloi? Uh-huh, Well, there is one now that has the ola horn blown to a mere wheeze. This new one is in a newspaper =—many newspapers—and it depicts John D. Rockefeller pouring out a buffalo nickel on a little child. - How come? Well, the other day John D. was 4 years )) old and feeling fine, thank you. He went forth to church. | Thru his colored spectacles the world looked good. He ‘was filled with the milk of human kindness. He felt like doing something big, eventful, epochal. So he gave a kid “a nickel. The ‘‘mug-shooters” of the impertinent press knew bout John’s birthday, and, just like ’em, they sought some pictures. They caught John in the very midst of the © nickel act. It was a beautiful study—anybody could sense "that fact. So the “mug-shooters” adjusted their cameras "and asked John to pose it over again several tim and he graciously consented, using the same nickel each time. The resultant picture sees John in the left foreground, very neatly dressed, and he is stooping forward and hand- ing this ’ere nickel to a little kiddy on the church steps. ‘There is a sad, strained exp: on on John’s face, and his bent attitude depicts either 18 per cent or benevolence— "we do not kno wwhich. We only know that he meets the ordeal of yielding his nickel. ® And the baby—say, someone, at some time, has taken money or candy from that baby. The expression on his » face in the picture indicates it. He is shown in the right ® foreground, all dressed in white, and reaching with hes- © itant hand for John’s proffered nickel, the while there is in his face the play of sophistication against innocence— ) doubt against assurance. Perhaps he had heard of the ' Standard Oil company or something like that. Who “<nows? But John was serious, the kid got the buffalo | nickel after the last shot, and the whole thing was em- ! oalmed in a picture that should live. Every home, every farage, every gas station, and every art gallery should | have it. There is a real story in it, and the art of the camera caught its every detail. We lovers of the beauti- "ful in life should not permit it to get away from us. Now _is the time to subscribe.
