Sept. 15, IOCS Both sides have named their man and you may now begin the selection of a choice to vote fot in the coming election. With many it seems that the one great question in the presi dent campaign is whether they had rather have Bryan as presi dent or as a perpetual candidate. In less than two months the questions that will be discussec on all sides from now on will be decided and you can see how much of a prophet some men are The speeches at thecaurthous- Saturday would indicate that the Republicans were really in earnest about carrying the State and county. If such had been the ca?e do you suppose the nominat ion would have been so easily made without a struggle. The county Republicans must have decided to quit wrangling over matters and the decision must have been told all around' so quiet was their convention Saturday. The last Convention was so much different from the previous one tnat it seemeu oat of the ques'i n that such har mony should exist. v The D.rr.ccratic chairman cl the Executive Ccti.mittee end Re publican candidate tor the legis lature tre hw partr-r.s an 1 haw office. ! father, i.rA p.-;.-ibl.. they wi:! f.ul out '.

Judge Biggs' predecessor, was cordially disliked by a few people, was because he could not be SAtrved from what he beleived to be right. One of influence or prominence, or one who can command the help of influential people, gets into court and it is no trouble to secure appeals for light punishment or for no. pun ishment at all, no matter what tie merrits of the case; and that means, what we all know is true in too many cases, that the pun ishment in such cases is by favor itism, not as a matter of justice. In Iredell Superior Court some years ago a judge imposed such a ight sentence on a colored man convicted of a very grave offence, tat there was an outburst of in dignation and the light sentence was imposed in response to an ppeal from some persons who didn't realize fully what they were asking. But when the fierce clamor arose on account thereof, the court took fright and increas ed the sentence. If a mistake was admitted and the last sen tence had been allowed to stand, t .e incident might have been overlooked. But in after .years the judge recommended the par d n of the same prisoner and he a as pardoned saying that the sentence was more severe than it should nave been but it was imposed as a result of strong feeling against the prisoner, Thus the court held, after some yeirs of reflection, that bis first j idgment was correct, but ad mitted that he allowed himself to be influenced by public clamor. Ol course such a man is utterly u iflt to sit on the bench. The above is not to be construed a ; a criticism of Judge Biggs, for we do not know that he has done w.-ong, but it may be construed as an objectian to judges chang ing sentences because somebody asks it. If new facts are brought : their attention and they feti ::e ends of justice demand a :r.ange, wed and good. But to r.' ike a change simply because a 1 rge number of people may ask , or because public sentiment ;:ns to be for or against the isoner, is all wrong.
