[AN EDITORIAL]
THE SUN received a long communication on Monday from the Ohio
Committee on Judicial Selection,
headquarters in Columbus. The organization is sponsoring a state-wide
campaign to bring about a change in
the method of selecting Judges. On
the 15th of this month (April) printed
petitions will be in circulation and
voters" asked to sign them. Two of
the principal features of the proposed
amendment are:
Appointment of Judges of the
Supreme Court and of the Courts
of Appeals; Judges of the Common Pleas, Probate and Municipal
Courts majr be appointed if a
majority of the voters in their respective judicial districts desire
to extend the appointive system
to those courts. Having adopted
the appointive system the voters
of those same judicial districts
may subsequently rescind their
action and return to the elective.
plan.
Whenever a vacancy occurs in
any Court affected by the amendment the Judicial Council, after investigating the qualifications of
those eligible, certifies a list of not
less than three or more than five
names to the governor. He must
appoint from T:his list and the
person so appointed must be confirmed by the senate.
With all due respect to the sponsors
of the amendment, The Sun is opposed to the amendment on the
ground that Judges are responsible to
the people, and to place the appointive
power in the hands of one man is to
give him too much power over the
property, liberty and lives of the
people. Then, too, it is well to remember that no matter how high-minded
certain members of a committee may
be there are always a few men eager
to advance their own interests and
such men would take a fiendish delight in embarrassing a governor not
of their political faith, or a chief executive they held a grudge against.
In theory such a proposition as the
Ohio Committee on Judicial Selection
proposes may sound well to a number
of people, but in practice it will be a
failure, human nature being what it
is today.
No one has a higher regard for
Judges than The Sun, but it is a fact
that several men have occupied high
.positions on the Bench in the states
of the union who proved to be a disgrace. Looking hack, Ohio had several Judges whose conduct was anything  but  exemplary.
In one state in the union the Governor appoints not only the Judges,
but the Prosecutors. For years the
people have been dominated by one
branch of Big Business, and if they
growl the Court sternly tells them
.they will be sent to jail for "contempt."
Take the judiciary out of tiie hands
of the people in Ohio and it will not
be long before they will realize they
have lost the one safeguard they possess—an  honest Judge.    _
So if you desire to protect your
liberty refuse to sign the petition.

Racketeers At Bay
THE racket game is getting it in
the neck in New York city, and
if a young determined special
prosecutor named Thomas E. Dewey
can wreck the bums in that pest hole
of crime it ought to be an easy manner to dispose oi' racketeers in all
American cities.
But it isn't. Before Dewey accepted
the job he insisted that certain Judges
be barred from trying the cases he
was prosecuting. Rather a hard slap
at the Judges, but young Dewey
knows not only his onions, but every
inch of the ground in which onions
grow. Then, too, he insisted that he
name certain policemen and detectives to protect his witnesses. Dewey's
detectives are two-gun men and they
can "drop a rat" with a shot from
the side pocket. The "rats," as underworld characters are called, are
afraid of Dewey and his detectives
and the shyster lawyers are worried
over his many convictions, because
the Democratic and Republican political clubs to which the shysters belong
are afraid to come to their defense,
even under cover.
•j.
*
ANY person with a grain of common
sense knows that many of the
Judges (Republicans and Democrats) in New York city are merely
petty lawyers put on the Bench to
obey the orders of their political
bosses. Several of these Judges have
sent men and women to prison, knowing them to be innocent, and set at
liberty men they knew to be the
lowest type of scoundrels. A woman
.Judge they had in that city a-few
years ago was so "distasteful" to tho
public that she was removed. "Rotten" would be a better word than
"distasteful."
Here is a sample of a trial which
lasted ten weeks, the sordid story of
a despicable crime. Seven men were
charged with conspiring, extortion
and attempted murder. Theirs was
commonly known as the "cafe racket."
Restaurant owners were terrorized
into enriching gangsters and their associates. Several of the restaurant,
owners were boxing champions of the
world a few years ago.
* * *
AN intended victim who undertook
to resist their demands found
his premises the target for stench
bombs, and was in danger of physical
violence. The lives of the patrons of
his establishment might be in jeopardy. No restaurant was safe from
the attentions of the high-binders.
They were as rut---.lesg as kidnapers
in their methods and for a long time
it seemed that the chances of bringing them to punishment were small.
Conviction is said to have been
facilitated by changes recently made
in the New York criminal.law. Therein may be a suggestion for examination of the laws of other states. In
New York it may no longer be said
that industrial l-acketeers are beyond
tlie reach of the law. Of course the
prosecutor must be honest, and so
must the Judge and the members of
the jury, or the trial would be a
farce.,
In several cities in Ohio gangsters
collect large sums of money from
restaurant keepers and other business
men. "Pay or have your place blown
up" is the threat, and they pay.
The lesson in New York is plain
to all: A fearless prosecuting attorney, a decent Judge, and a jury
brave and willing to convict on the
evidence.

THEY LIKED SAWYER
Adventures of Tom, Played By Members of Junior Class, Pleases People.
The shade of Samuel L. Clemens,
known to millions as "Mark Twain,"
smiled broadly on Saturday night
when he saw the Junior class of the
North Canton high school present
"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" on
Saturday night in the school auditorium.
The numerous audience left the
building well satisfied that the young-
man and young woman in the stellar
roles and the supporting cast did full
justice to a story of mirth and mystery.
The school officials announced several weeks ago in The Sun that "the
REAL NIGHT OF PLEASURE
The Woman's club of North Canton,
held its fourteenth annual banquet on
Monday evening at G:30, in the dining
room of Zion Lutheran church of
North Canton. ... .....
The tables were made attractive-
with lighted tapers and favors of
sachet balls tied with tulle and ribbon and. the president's table held a
beautiful arrangement of Spring
flowers.. The dinner was a real meal,
well prepared and efficiently  served.
After the 'dinner the club members
sang two songs, "Working Along Together," and "America, The Beautiful," with Mrs. Gordon Lowther as
leader and Mrs. Ward Mathie at the
piano.
Presented With Platter
Mrs. G. W. Henderson, the retiring
president, thanked all the members
for their co-operation during her two
years of service and .she especially
thanked the club board and chairmen
for their work and she presented each
one to the audience.- Her remarks
were interesting and timely.
History of the Club
Mrs. Burdette Spitler, historian,
then gave the history of the club for
the past year. The. gain in numbers
was outstanding. Forty new members
were added this year.
Mrs. Henderson then introduced
Mrs. Gregory Myers of Barberton,
district  president  of  the   federation
even a complaint. Little wonder he
loves them, and predicts for them a
worth-while future. Boys and girls
belonging to good families able to
take the "gaff" without whimpering
possess what .we Americans call
"guts," and whether they be yellow,
brown, red, black or white of skin they
can not be kept down because they,
like St. Paul, are willing lo make tli■•
good fight and keep the faith._
The scene changes. In our mind we
see a young man accustomed to all
tho comforts of life, with a young
American wife and baby at his side,
fighting all the elements in his determination to bring to the front
young men and young women in a
far-oil" land because lie knows that
they can take it on the chin and come
back for more.
And looking at the young man and
his pleasant smile we say inwardly,
"You are worth more than a news
story, vou are worth an editorial, for
Chinese  boys  and girls  do  to  learn
what they term "the truth."  The So- j you belong lo the class made famous
ciety for the Prevention of Craelty to   by such  men as  Dr.  Livingston and
Children would be marching on Wash
ngton and other points if "such do
ings" took place in the United States.
And yet, as Dr. Hoover wisely asserted, many of the sons and daughters he is training belong to prominent families, and for that reason he
feels confident that some day they will
dominate China and put it on an even
keel.
Think of it! Not a whiner in his
class.es. and. yet they lived on short
rations, slept on boards in rooms cold'
enough to freeze the marrow in their
bodies, traveled hundreds of miles on
railroad trains, packed in like sardines, and never uttered a growl or
ng
Chinese' Gordon, and even though
you have a battery of titles behind
your name and are at home on the
campus of Yale, or Harvard, or other
institutions of learning, you prefer to
be a plain, every-day American gentleman modestly playing a big part
on the stage of life in China."
Dr. Lyman Hoover, The Sun salutes you, sir! This newspaper is more
than glad you paid North Canton a
visit, and when you start for China
in October with your wife and child
please remember that you have the
best wishes of everyone who had the
pleasure of hearing you on Sunday
night, April 4.

MARRIED BY DR. BECK
i . .—_—
Miss Ingrid Brogun Becomes the Bride
of Robert William Gray.
Miss Ingrid Avon Brogan, aged 21
years, of Alliance, was married on
Saturday morning to Robert William
Gray, aged 23, of North Canton, in
the parlor of Zion Reformed church
by the Rev. Dr. Melvin E. Beck, the
pastor.
Mr. and Mrs. Brogan, father ami
mother of the bride, and Mr. and Mrs.
W. It. Gray, parents of the bridegroom, and their daughter, Gloria
Ruth, attended the ceremony.
The   contracting  parties   and   their
! parents went to the Elks club in Can-
I ton where a special lunch was served
in  a  private   room.   Mr.  Brogan  and :
J Mr. Gray, senior, are members of the
! Elks.
Following the luncheon the bride
and bridegroom left for Washington.
D. C, by automobile. After spendin---
a week out of town they will return
to Sixth street NW., Canton, their
future   home.
Before her marriage Miss Brogan
was a nurse in Mercy hospital. Her
husband is a retail salesman in Canton.
