Haile, Losie Bonnett LOG IE BONNETT, Editor and Manager SATURDAY, FEB. 28, 1920 THE CHIEF JUDGESHIP. BACK ON THE JOB It is incumbent upon the Governor of Maryland to appoint someone as Chief Judge of the Third Judicial Circuit—Comprising- Baltimore and Harford counties—to fill out Judge Burke's unexpired term. Governor Ritchie himself is a lawyer of high standing and wide experience and no one better than he appreciates the importance of choosing the very best man available for the position. In making the appointment we do not believe he will be controlled by any purely personal or political considerations. The Jeffersoniah is not disposed to recommend any particular man for the Office, but we do think that the Governor should give first consideration to the membership of the Baltimore county bar. The Chief Judge has for years i past been chosen from Baltimore coun- j ty, and so far as we know this has been the practice since the Circuit was established. Baltimore county is recognized as the largest and most important county in the circuit and a Chief Judge residing at Towson would not only be more convenient to the Court of Appeals but he would be in a position to better serve the Circuit as a whole. There are several "members of the Baltimore county bar who are in our judgment eminently qualified for the Chief Judgeship. We might mention, among others, Associate Judges Duncan and McLane, T. Scott Offutt, Osborne I. Yellott and David G. Mcintosh, Jr. The disposition of most of the members of the local bar, so far as we can ascertain, is to favor, first, the appointment of Judge Duncan, and if he should decline the honor, that it be tendered to Mr. Offutt. If the Governor sees fit to act on the recommendation lof the local bar he will in our judgment make no mistake, as either of these men is competent for the position, and the appointment of either would, we feel, meet with such general favor throughout the Circuit that his election by the people in the fall of 1921 would follow without opposition.

The Third Judicial Circuit is comprised of Baltimore and Harford Coun-So far as is known, the Harford County bar has up to this time lined up behind no particular candidate, but the names of former State Senators Thomas H.

Had that Wall Street disturbance occurred priOr to the creation of the Federal Reserve system disaster would have resulted, just as it did in the so-called Roosevelt 'panic—a Wall Street made panic—in 1907. "The best answer that can be made to the calamity howlers today is to refer them to the absence of national bank failures since the Federal Reserve system was established. Prior to 1914 there was a' national bank failure on an average of every twenty-one days.

That sentiment in Baltimore county is absolutely in accord with the bill introduced in the legislature by Mr. Frank S. Given, a delegate from this county, to exempt Baltimore county" from the State-Wide Game Law, there is no doubt, judging from the number of communications received by The Jeffersonion from "every section. It is to be hoped that Mr. Given will be successful in having the bill passed and thereby allow Baltimore county to manage its own game proposition. $15,000 in two years turned over to the State Game Warden and the return of 300 birds is more than citizens here care to stand. * WOODLAWJf.

The legal business handled by the Baltimore County Court far exceeds in volume the business handled by the Harford County Court, and it is felt that a Chief Judge residing at Towson, as Mr. Offutt would do, would be more convenient and accessible to his constituents in the Circuit than a Chief Judge residing in Belair. A Chief Judge residing at Towson would also be more convenient to the Court of Appeals, where he would necessarily have to spend most of him time. Outside of members of the bar, Mr. Offutt also has the warm endorsement of a number of political leaders in the County, and it is believed that he has a better chance of securing the appointment than any other name thus far mentioned. The appointment will be made for a short term only and if a man of Mr. Offutt's qualifications is chosen bv the Governor, it is believed that he will have little difficulty in securing the united support of the voters in the Circuit at the general election in 1921, when the Chief Judge will be chosen to serve for a term of fifteen years. Raw materials are scarce, but raw prices aren't. The people who have set out to overturn the government, haven't overturned much yet except the park benches on which they usually fall asleep. The Patrons Club of Belmont School will meet on next Tuesday night at the school. Mr. A. E. Riddle, Jr., will have charge of the Epworth League Service at Em-marts' Church on Sunday evening. This service promises to be an interesting one, so come out to the meeting. Mrs. Vernon Zimmerman is under the care of Dr. Niblett. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kalb have been at Gaithersburg for the past week, where they attended the funeral of Mr. James Moore, father of Mrs. Kalb. -----------o----------- SWEET AIR.
