The Judicial Election One of the important dutieB the vot ers of this judicial district will have, to perform next Tuesday is to elect nine district Judges. And the important consideration to bear in mind, in reaching a decision, is that faithful, able and impartial service on the bench is deserving of reward. It is not alone, or chiefly, the Judges deserve it. The commun ity deserves it. The community needs it, more than the Judges do. For it is only by showing that a Judge who gives honeet service to the whole peo ple can count upon commanding their support that we can make sure of preserving a local Judiciary of such outstanding worth as Dowlas, Wash ington and Burt counties, comprising this Judicial district, now enjoy. Judges Hastings, Goss, Redick, Fitz gerald, Leslie, Stauffer, Troup, Wake ley and Day, comprising the present district bench, are all candidates for re-election. The claims of each one of them upon the voters deserve care ful consideration. The fact that they have been indorsed, in a body, by the bar association, should be given due ■weight. The high reputation which the bench of this district enjoys, not only locally but throughout the state, should not be forgotten. The time to oust a Judge from the bench is when he bad failed tq^^ke good. And the wise thing to d^^ith a good and satisfactory judge is to keep him on the Job. It is not a good thing to experiment with new judges, unless the poor record of an old one has made experimentation necessary. i ■ ■ ■■■■■■■■■■ ■ > Harry G.
