Judge Whitehouse Is universally well
liked by all who know him. His
genial temperament spreads around on
those who pass his way, and, leaving
aside his worth as a Judge, he Is gifted
with a sociable disposition that makes
life pleasant for all those who have
dealings with him.
Judge Whitehouse was appointed to
the bench Of the supreme court in 1890.
succeeding Judge Danforth, who died
on the March preceding. His previous
experience on the bench of the superior
court at once gave assurance Of his
success as judge of the supreme
court. His work on the Maine reports,
too we'll known to need more than a
passing comment here, shows the
ability with which he performs his
work as law judge. He has written a
number Of opinions which are noted
for their interest and vigorous style.

The saying that hanging for killing
IS played out in California" is evidently
not in application. There are more mur-
derers under death sentence in this
State now than at any period in her his
tory, and of these it may be accepted
as a certainty that not one will escape
the gallows except there is Gubernato-
rial Intervention. Since the foregoing
was written news has been received
that the Supreme Court of the United
States has affirmed the decision of the
Federal Court below in the case of mur-
derer Durrant; therefore, on receipt of
the remittitur a new day for the execu-
ton will be fixed by the trial court 1t
is altogether probable that his attor-
Eeys viii make another attempt to Sc
cure some ruling from which they may
again take an appeal, but we do not
apprehend that they will succeed in Sc
curing much further delay. 1t is prob
able that the decision in the Durrant
case covers all the other appeals of sim
lar character taken by condemned
murderers to the chief tribunal of last
resort. Until the full text of the opin-
ion of the court is received, however, no
positive judgment ON that head can be
formed.

once month, with rigid enforcement

there will be a wonderful difference OBJ
serva5le in the appearance of the high

forcement of the ordinances and the
adoption of a cleaning system that will
require no machinery whatever, will
have a distinct beneficial effect upon
the tastes of the people. AS it is, we
