JUDICIAL REFORM - NOW!
EPILOGUE
It is the duty of the bar to endeavor to prevent political
considerations from outweighing judicial fitness in the se-
lections of judges. It should protest earnestly and actively
against the appointment or election of those who are
unsuitable for the bench; and it should strive to have ele-
vated thereto only those willing to forego other employ-
ments, whether of a business, political or other character,
which may embarrass their free and fair consideration
of questions before them for decision. The aspiration of
lawyers for judicial position should be governed by an
impartial estimate of their ability to add honor to the office
and not by a desire for the distinction the position may
bring to themselves.'
