A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
It is presumed that the courts
will pass upon all nutters that come
before them, in a judicial manner.
This means that they will first hear
the cases and then decide upon
what disposition shall be made of
them.
For a Judge - while c.fl the bench
to pleVlgc himself to do a e.-rtriin
thine in a ease that has not vet!
been
presented to the Lcurt, is not '
only not judicial, but it is, to say I
the least, most injudicious. No,
Judge possessed of self-respect, and ,
a fair conception of the duties of j
ms position, should permit any man '

Court, ami solicit nis iavorame ac- ,
tinn in a matter that is subscouent- '
iv to 1 e presented to ine court ior
its official action Were sttcn a
practice to be permitted to prevail
there would be little use in wasting
time in preparing petitions for ap
pointments ami such matters as the
associate judges have a voice in de
termining. Th; result would not
depend upon the merits of the case,
but upon the activity of the man
who first got the ear of a majority
of the co.m in private, and this
would-be a menace to the rights ol
the public.
These remarks are suggested by
the fact that in the matter of the
appointment of a member of the
Bloomsburg Town Council to fill a
vacaiwy, Associate Judge Veager
w reported to have -aid, before the

There was no wrong done in vot-;

court should prejudge a case that
is to come before mm, nor aueuiin
to decide it until he has luard all
sides of the matter and given all
persons interested a full and impar
tial hearing.
There is no suggestion or suspi
cion of corruption in the matter on
the part of Judge Yeager. His ac
tion was probably due to lack cf
proper consideration of the situa
tion, and without intent to do
ii'rnno but now that his attention

has been called to the impropriety,
it is devoutly to be hoped that he
will not make the same mistake
again.

in Philadelphia, ex-Judge William
