Sauce For The Goose Is Sauce For The Gander

Xo one can deny that the Detroit Journal, the organ of ex-Senator Thomas W. Palmer, is good Republican authority. In its leading editorial, Tuesday, it says: "The term of six years for circuit judges is long enough. Great power in the hands of any one is a dangerous thing. Safety in allowing it to be exercised; is the fact that the possessor máy be deprived of it by the people. The continuation of this power ahvays tends to the arbitrary exercise of it. He who holds office too long begins to think he owns the office, and that the people are responsible to him instead of his being responsible to the people." This editorial was written for Wayne county, where four Democratie circuit judges are running for re-election. But if the argument is good for Wayne connty, it is good for Washtenaw. We merely rise to remarle that "what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander."
