The Atlanta Journal says: When some of the prominent men of Atlanta were informed this morning of the appoint ment of ex-Governor Thomas c. Jones of Alabama, to the judgship of the district court in that State by President Roose- welt. the news was received with hearty approval.
 Governor Candfer stated that he thought no better appointment could have been made.
 Hon. Hoke Smith said that the senti- ment in the appointment was broad and showed good feeling on the part or the President for the South
 Many other prominent Atlantians stated that since 1t was the Presidents s first important appointment, no better omen could exist to show that the new President will in act and policy be as broad as the country itself.
 'I am much pleased at the appoint ment of Governor Jones'" said Hon. Hoke Smith. ''IIe is an able lawyer. a clean, honest man. The President elevates the judicial standard by 1t. He rises above politics. He makes merit the test Of selection. I believe 1t means that the President intends to treat judicial officers from a non-partisan standpoint. If this be true, it Is a great step forward and one to be hoped for only from loyal believer in civil service reform"
 Governor Candler said: Tt is an evil dence of liberality and good feeling and I suppose the President had the public good in mind when he made the apoint- ment either from the Democratic or Re- publican parties.

 Major L. J. Lawson said: Governor Jones will make an excellent Judge, and the President could not have done better. and if this policy of appointing the best men to office regardless of political com alterations is pursued by the President. his administration will be eminently sue cessful.
 Hon. Edward deGraffenried said: Honesty and courage have had their re- ward. Governor Jones possesses rare ability and firmness, and will grace the position to which he has been appointed I have always thought that Roosevelt believed in the doctrine that he serves his party best who serves his country best and this appointment but confirms that ouinion. Such action will do more to make Republicanism respectable in the South than any that could be pur- sued.
 Hon. James M. Jones, Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee. said: have always admired Governor Jones.

ed by the President and P. c. Knox, At torney General.
 Arrangements have already been made for holding the United States Court at Birmmgham and Huntsville, but Juoge Jones will qualify in time for the com mencement of the Federal Court at Mont- gomery, November L
 Judge Jones has some important mat ters in the Courts and he desires to make some arrangements for the termination of these matters before he enters on his new duties.
 The appointment of Ex-Governor Jones to the Federal bench is still the topic ot the hour in Montgomery and it will be interesting to know that one of the strongest and most influential men who worked in his behalf was Hon. Stuart l4. Woodford of New York. General Wood ford, at one time was Lieutenant Cover nor of New York. He was minister to Spain at the outbreak of the Spanish American war and has held manX other prominent and important positions. He was a distinguished Federal soldier from 1881 to '65. General woodford and Cover nor Jones have been associated in sev- eral important law suits and a strong personal attachment sprang up between them which culminated in a friendship which has been proven by the untiring efforts and energy which General WoOd- ford displayed in assisting to secure the appointment of Ex-Governor Jones es Judge of the United States District Court 0f Alabama.

 Colonel Higdon, speaking of the mat ter this morning, said: Tt is purely Q matter of discipline. have not asked or Kyle anything more than have request ed of other officers in the regiment. He has not co-operated with me to the ex- tent that think necessary for the dis cipline of the regiment. He has not acted on my suggestions, requests and orders in the manner in which think he should have acted, For this reason I have re- ferred the matter between us to the Ad- jutan General am not prepared to say just now ,nor do I feel like going into particulars at this time. hope the mat ter will be adjusted within week."

 Demopolis, Oct. s-(Special.)-If one of the citizens of Demopolis had been ap- pointed by President Roosevelt to fill the 3udgeship recently made vacant by ths de eth of Judge Bruce, the people of this place could not have been more genuinely pleased than they were when they heard yesterday that the appointment of Gov ernor Jones had been confirmed. They were loud in their praise of the Presi- dents action, and not one but who thought that 1t would have "a most bene- ficial effect on Southern politics. There Is an expressed opinion that this policy of President Roosevelt's is but the be- ginning of a movement on the part of all conservative men in each party to ignore the machine and to fill the offices with men who owe no debts to any faction and who can perform their duties without fear or favor.
