The pension case of Judge Long has
attracted great deal of attention in
the past three years BY a ruling Of
Commissioner Lochren the action Of a
former commissioner was set aside
and Judge Longs pension was re-
duced without hearing and without
previous notice. Against this arbitrary
aud unjust procedure he made a stub
born fight. carrying the case through
the lower courts up TO the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
The retirement of Commissioner Loeb
rem. which was FASTENED by the odium
that was attached TO his course in
this matter prevented a decision on the
merits of the case But Mr.. Longs
vigorous prosecution of it brought out
so clearly the principles involved that
a bill was introduced in Congress TO
prevent the reopening Of pension
case, once decided. except upon allie
cations Of fraud, and the present COM
missioner has not in any case set aside
the rating under which a pension was
granted by any of his predecessors
There were other cases similar to
Judge Longs. and he is entitled to the
gratitude of thousands OF his com
rades for his plucky fight. For in this
fight he was acting in behalf OF all
those whose pensions were liable to be
arbitrarily reduced by the rulings of an
unfrlendly commissioner long after
the original proofs OF their injury in
the service were beyond their reach.

The New Candidate for Regent.

Mr.. Chas. ID. Lawton. of Van Buren,
county, the second nominee for regent
of the University. has had varied
experience, both in educational and
business matters. He was borne in
Rome. n. Y, in 1875, fitted for college
at Auburn Academy, and graduated
from Union College, Schenectady, n.
Y, After graduation he was princi-
pal Of Auburn Academy. and then
superintendent of schools in that city.
His father had before this acquired a
large tract of land in Van Buren, coun-
~, Mich, and laid out the town Of
Lawton, and to this place the son
moved in 1865. He was instrumental
In establishing furnace there for
making charcoal pig iron, and was in
terested in this enterprise as long as
" lasted. When he came from New
York state he brought with him 1000
grape cuttings, planted the first vine
yard and set out the first fruit orchard
In that vicinity. He has been engaged
in fruit culture ever since. and now.
out of his farm Of 800 acres, 30 is de-
voted To fruit. Lawton is one of the
best fruit growing towns in that sec

day during the season.
In 1869 Mr.. Lawton was appointed
assistant professor Of engineering in
Michigan University. but stayed there
only two years. as he found more pro-
titable and equally attractive occupa-
tion with the state geological survey.
TO which he was attached as q mining
expert He helped prepare the report
on the Marquette mining district i'm
1872 and 1913. -Four years later. when
the office OF commissioner Of mineral
statistics was established. he took
charge Of the office as assistant and
continued in that work till 1888. He
was appointed commissioner of min
eral statistics by Governor Alger i'm
1885, This position he held for six
years under Govcrnurs Alger and
Luce
Mr.. LawtoD has Illus been identified.
for almost an ordinary life time. with
two OF the great industries " the
state. mining and farming. including
in the latter fruit farming. He has.
besides. always been interested in the
educational affairs rf the state. both
IN his own behalf and that of his fam
lily. two Of his sons having graduated
at the University. one ~ the Agricul-
tural College, and one ~ the Mining
School. He is a clear headed business

the position to which he Is nominated.

The Republican convention in De-
troit, February 20. was the largest dele
gate gathering ever held in the state,
and was marked by an earnestness and
determination quite unusual at the
opening OF spring campaign. The un-
animity with which Justice Long and
Regent Cocker were renominated show
ed an appreciation of their past SER
vices which will be fully shared by the
people of the state The contest for
the second regency nomination was
warm but not bitter. and resulted in a
choice which will strengthen the tick
ct in those parts of the state where the
candidate is best known.
That the last campaign tended to
crystalize Republican sentiment and
unite the party is shown by the fact
that the following concise and clear
platform was adopted, with applause
and without dissent.
The Republican party of Michigan. in
convention assembled, congratulates the
country on the magnificent victory or
November last, and on the return Of the
Republican party to power. We re-ainrm
the principles laid down in the last ma
tional platform. and we believe that the
triumph OF Republican principles will re-
prosperity which IL has always enjoyed
under Republican supremacy.
The people of the state of Michigan
are to be congratulated that the Repub-
lican party has control of the state govern
ment in all it's branches, and we COM
mend the honest. careful and economical
manner In which its affairs have been
conducted.
Our'public institutions are the result Of
the Intelligence and liberality OF free
people. and we bespeak for them a gem
erOus and liberal support.
The combination Of diverse elements
that formed the opposition to the Re-
publican party In the contest last fall,
lacks coherency. and already shows
signs of disintegration. part OF one
wing having bolted from the Grand
Rapids convention.
The Republicans. on the other hand,
are united. and II only the effort neces-
sary to bring out full vote is made,
we may have another decisive Repub-
lican victory. The result Is certainly
worth the effort.

The i've judges are now writing
opinions on from 600 TO TOO cases q
year. besides deciding from 800 TO 500
motions. on many OF which written de-
cisions are filed. For the number OF
judges on the bench the work Of the
court Is greater than that OF any other
court OF last resort In the country. The
work is now brought down to date,
All OF the cases that were ready
having been heard at the last term.
When. as happens in some courts,
cases are delayed three or four years;
il amounts almost TO a denial Of
justice. and litigants have reason to
congratulate themselves that In the
Michigan court no such delays now
occur.
A great improvement has been made
also In the method OF handling cases.
The opinions handed down are no long
er one-man opinions. Under the old
practice. when the judges resided
away from the capital. they met either
Monday night or Tuesday morning,
anu Wiiuout any piNPaidtioh VI thS
cases. or previous knowledge OF them,
heard the arguments assigned cases to
the judges who were TO write the
opinions, and went home Friday night.
each Judge taking the cases he was to
write. and not having opportunity to
consult the others when any doubtful
question arose.
Now the judges all live at Lansing
and examine every case. looking over
the briefs and records before Ii Is
argued. After the arguments they,
! together. take up the records and
briefs again, and examine the author
tiles, so that each judge has an under
standing of every case, and they agree
as nearly AS may be upon affirming or
reversing the decisions OF the lower
courts. Where a case is In doubt on
one or more Of the questions involved,
they each make IN examination OF
those questions, and then the case is
assigned TO one Of the judges TO be
written. As soon as an opinion is
written n copy is made and served up
on each judge. so that all have oppor-
! tunity To examine the opinions, in
connection with the records and briefs,
! before they meet for the final consul
tation. and for attaching their sigma
lures TO the decisions.
/ All this takes more work than Che
former method. but it gives more
| thorough study of each case than was
ever attempted until recent years. In
this laborious examination of every
case that comes up, Judge Long has
done his full share with thorough
study and with conscientious care.
