THE APPELLATE BENCH.
A Lawyer Expresses His Views ~ to Who
the Judges Should BE.

Editor OF the Times:
This question is one naturally much
discussed in legal circles, and one In
which the people as well as the lawyers
are much interested.
Nothing would please me so much as to
be one OF that court; but il is impossible,
first, because cannot get votes enough.
and second, because, II did. could not
afford to accept an office the salary OF
which would not enable me 10 live, as
like to live and pay my debts
Not only am not candidate, but
am grooming no candidate. Nevertheless,
/ have a deep interest in the question,
and earnestly desire that the judicial and
personal character of the court be main
tanned on a high plane, and 10 that end
venture two suggestions. the result Of
much reflection on the subject, as TO how
the best possible court may be secured.
The fact that / am not candidate and
have no candidate makes me impartial
and enables me TO write somewhat from
the vantage ground of a retired philoso-
pher," and should give the greater weight
10 what say. l suggest:
First. They should be young; not so
young as to be callow. but still so young
as 10 have long lives of judicial vigor
ahead OF them; so young that more than
one term may be served without the de-
cay which age must bring; so young that
they will ripen on the bench and give TO
the state the full harvest of their Ju-
dicial labors and not merely the CLEAN
ings Of a life tor which the bench is
sought as q pillow of ease
Men should be placed on the bench at
that point In their lives varying with diff
ferent temperaments when experience
has begun to temper the promptings OF
early manhood. and the romance of youth
begins to yield to the stern realities
of nfe-before assured success or salts
fed ambition has stiiied their energy, or
disappointment has duiied their enthu-
siasm. In other words. men should be
made judges while their nerves are highly
strung, their energies fresh in their primal
strength. and their hopes and ambitions

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION-AL-
SACE-LORRAINE

The question Of International arbitra-
ton as a method OF settling differences
between nations received sharp emphasis
IN the German Reichstag on Tuesday last.
DR.. Barth, a leader Of the FreissIge party
wanted to know IL the Government
would Join the Governments OF
Great Britain and the United States in
an effort TO establish arbitration as a
method Of setting international disputes.
The minister Of foreign affairs replied that
the Imperial Government was entirely
willing to accept arbitration In special
cases. which is the same thing as to say
that Germany is willing to arbitrate when
she wishes to arbitrate. but will always
20 to war II she prefers war, and that Is
the same thing as to say that she Will
have nothing TO do with arbitration, but
will paddle her own canoe to suit herself.
The discussion brought out one exceed
tngly interesting point Herr Bebel, the
Social Democrat. suggested that the fu-
ture nationality Of Alsace-Lorraine should
be submitted TO international arbitration.
This suggestion brought the chancellor,
Won Caprivi. to his feet. He declared
that II the questions were submitted to
arbitration and the arbitrator decided
that Germany should surrender Alsace-
Lorraine, the nation would refuse TO
acduiesce In the decision. He said that
rather than give up that country, Ger
mans would shed the last drop OF their
blood. The report OF the discussion adds
that this statement was received with
patriotic cheers.
In this country we are unable to under
stand why Germany desires to
hold on to these two pro-
vinces. They were not originally Ger
man. except in part. Much of their ter
ritory was part OF the Roman empire for
five hundred years. after which they be-
came almost wholly distinctly part OF
France. remaining such until the middle
Of the Tenth century. when they passed
under the dominion Of the German En-
peror, Ohio I. In Louis XIV.'s reign they
were reunited to France. remaining part
OF that country until she was forced to
csds them 10 Germany in ISL There has
in all times been q strong infusion of
French blood and sympathy in these
provinces. and the sympathies OF the
people with. and attachment TO, France
seem to havs become more intense since
Germany took them from her than
they were at the time they were taken.
We suppose sooner or later Europe must
bs deluged with blood that It may be
determined under which Jurisdiction they
shall rest. the quarrel to be resumed
again as soon as the contestants recover
from the exhaustion OF the war. which
will be waged 20 determine which country
they shall belong 70.

There are so many dress reform women
