members in one day, being Judge Wales,
Mrs. Elizabeth B. McCombs and Mrs.

Among the good appointments made

surprising how little fault the Demo
Gratis can find in them. one of the best
is that of Hon. Benjamin Butterworth
to be commissioner of pensions. That
department is very important one
Mr.. Butterworth, who was once befort
the commissioner, will undertake it:
delicate judicial duties with as thor
ough understanding as any man ant
will by reason of his high reputation in
vest the office with more dignity thai
it has occasionally had in the past
An unwise decision and much more al
inefficient commissioner might be tn
means of causing incalculable harm.
