The Youngstown Telegram has just
issued Prosperity Thanksgiving"
edition, which is one Of the most elab-
crate that has ever been issued from
a newspaper ONCE in Ohio. Youngs-
town industries are well displayed and
"written-up" and there Is healthy
business in the issue. The staff, under
| the guidance of Editor Wright, has
produced some very readable articles
about Youngstown and Youngstown
people. The individual stories are well
told and the composite production is a
success in every way.

just the same from Latin disease.

for an additional judgeship to relieve
Judge Day, who has too much work.
owing to the illness of Judge Kicks,
opens immense possibilities for some-
body. AS stated in the News-Democrat
Friday, Judge T. T. McCarty has been
mentioned for the place. Major Charles
Il. Miller is also spoken of by many
attorneys as an available man. One
who is exceptionally equipped Is Judge
George e. Baldwin, who is also men,
toned with others for the place. Many
attorneys observe that the qualifica-
tions Of Judge 1. H. Taylor would make
him an honor to the Federal bench,
but he has just resigned from one bench
and whether he would reconsider his
determination to re-enter- the practice
isr not known. Certainly he would not
seek the place. Judge ]. p. Fawcett
is eminently fitted for the high position,
Attorney Frank Baldwin, Of Massillon,
man of fine judicial mind, well read
and conservative lawyer, would also
make most acceptable jurist. And
David Fording, OF Alliance, is good
judicial timber. In fact the high stand
ing of the Stark county bar, as COM
pared with the bars of other counties in
the state, suggests that the appointee
come" from this county. There is no
use to look elsewhere. 1t Is unfortunate
that 30 many excellent lawyers among
the Democratic members of the bar
must be passed up as unavailable, for
in their number are numerous able gen.
tlemen. Hon. r. s. Shields, Judge A.
A. A.Thayer, Judge John w. Albaugh,
Hon. John c. Welty. c. T. Meyer,
Charles Krichbaum, John c. Givin, At
lee Pomerene, Judge Otto e. Young.
Hon. James A. Rice-young men and
men Of more mature years-all equip
ped for judicial honors and would make
strong jurists. But the appointment
will be made by the president and he
will come from the Republican side
of the house. Mr.. Mckinley enjoys
Democratic votes, but his appointments
Of Democrats to positions judicial and
otherwise. are quite infrequent.
