Is in unusually good condition, and I wish publicly to say l<> you that I consider you an ex ( optionally able solicitor I think I know one when I see him I was solicitor myself about nine years. For sixteen months during the world war I wua ii judge advocate and hrl as an appellate court to review all court murtials that were tried In that par ticular jurisdiction I won't say how many years I was at the bur. I have been on tho bench almost eight years, and I believe I know a good prosecuting officer when I see him. "There are two characteristics essential to every solicitor, and only two. one. he should be fearless, and the oth? r. he should be fair And I think >ou have both This Is a court of justice and from the way tho affairs of the court are administered when the court meets, unless the Jury, the public generally, and those who liiiw been tried, think thai Justice has bet n done, then the court has not properly functioned Justice does not lieci'S.-.iril \ mean convicting every one: it does not mean electrocuting every one; it does not mean sending to the penitentiary for long terms every one; but it means doing in each particular case that which is just and right for that parliifiilar <a-e A solicitor who wants to convict till, or who is lax and doesn't try to convict the guilty, does not fit In. "I have observed Mr. Solicitor, your work before, and I believe you improve with age It is a pleasure fori me to preside over a court in which you net as solicitor, and I take great pleasure in saying publicly what I think of you as a public officer. Somelimes we wait until a person is dead and gone to say nice things I do not have many roses strewn In my path, but I like to strew a few in the path of those I think merit It So I take pleasure in commending you for the way In which you conduct the affairs of your offlco." Solicitor Splgner, in expressing his appreciation of the remarks of Judge Stoll, said it would continue to be his earnest endeavor to merit them On behalf of the other court officials, and till those having business with the i Hint It.- expressed pleasure in the association with Judge Stoll during the tei :n of court.
