LAW IS UN-AMERICAN,
It. may be possible that under the
laws of the state of Washington tlie
occupant of a bench, district or su
perior, may not become a candidate
for any but a judicial position, as is
decided by the supreme court of
that stato in the case of Judge
Illack who had been selected by a
large majority of the electors of one
of the parties at a primary election,
a? the candidate for governor, but
if it is, then it may be called a
strange sort of fi law.
It then may be taken as an essen
tial of Americanism that any citizen
has a right to aspire for any office
within the gift of the people. If a
senator or a governor has a right to
aspire to a seat upon the bench, why
in ay not a judge aspire to ihe sen
aie or to the governorship?
While it is true that it is desire
able that the judiciary should be
kept from politics »till this should
not mean that once a judge always a
judge and that because a man is up
on the bench he may not if he wish
es, or if the people so desire, con
sider leaving the bench in order to
run for any other office within the
gift of the people. It doubtless will
be a good thing if politics should
be ignored in the naming of judges,
bui it would look like a distortion
of the meaning of non-partizan judi
ciary laws "to say that (the man upon
the bench must surrender all of the j
rights vested in the ordinary. Ameri-•
can citizen, and that tlie doors of |
all political oppurtunity should be'
closed against him.
The supreme cOUl't decision may ac»
curately define the Washington non
political judiciiiary law but if so then'
the law is a very haul one.
