UNFAIR
- PENALTY
If there is one bright spot in the whole political ma-
% schinery of Luzerne county, it is the position Judge Alfred
Valentine holds on the Common Pleas
~ BRINGS bench. ’
"HONOR TO While there are a number of excellent
THE BEN CH men serving on the bench and while there
have been any number of outstanding men
who have served in the past, there have been almost as
many mediocre and inferior men who have been elevated to
the position of Judge in Luzerne county. There have been
times when the respect in which the bench has been held as
fallen pretty low in the estrnation of many citizens of the
county.
Of recent years there has been a marked growth of the
respect in which the bench is held. Judge Valentine has
"not been alone in bringing this about but his contribution
- has played a great part.
One might even say that the bench brings no honor to
“a man of the calibre of Judge Valentine but that he brings
honor and dignity to it. In accepting the office he left one
of the most lucrative private law practices in the county ;
which from a monetary standpoint held far greater attrac-
tions than the judgeship.
A brilliant lawyer before the bar, modern in thought,
progressive in action, armed with courage and insight
~ judge Valentine is still of that old school of Americans who
~ place public duty above all else. He is not interested in
~ gaining the power which the political opportunities of such
a high office afford. To him the distinction of being judge
and the realization of the responsibilities of that office hold
all that is necessary of power and honor. The bench is an
end in itself for him not a stepping stone for political power.
Many of his judicial decisions have been among the
most brilliant handed down in the county. A student of
the law, a capable attorney, he wins the respect of those
who appear before him because of his vast fund of informa-
tion on legal procedure. His recent decision in the Hanover
township school case won for him hundreds of friends
throughout the county as well as some enemies, but he had
_ the courage to face the issue and hand down his decision
without thought of friends or fear of enemies.
However cynical we may become at times, and however
doubtful we may be of the Democratic system of electing
judges, men of the stamp of Judge Alfred Valentine and
many of his colleagues renew our faith that intellegent

traits which make him hated or ad-

some day. :
It is said the breaking point be-

an interview in which he described the

that, he told the truth. The Cub out-

Many people visited us during

equal number; took advantage of

costs you nothing to have your

brings results from Gay Murrays.
The time to prepare for bad
weather is when the sun shines.
