BRAVO, MR.. PRESIDENT.
IN THE APPOINTMENT of

IN THE APPOINTMENT of ex-
Governor Goode Jones of Ala
bama to fill the vacancy on the
district bench of that state
caused By the death of Judge Bruce,
President Roosevelt has made
.commendable start in his new policy
toward the southern states.
A man of broader views and higher
standing that Mr.. Jones could not
have been found. He is credited with
being one of the ablest lawyers of
the state, and has been twice elected
its governor. As a member of the
Alabama constitutional convention
he opposed the Northumberland of
the negro voters, and has often aided
Booker T. Washington in his at
tempts to bring about the uplifting
of the colored race.
In ignoring the fact that Mr.. Jones
has always been a Democrat, and in
considering Only the appointee's fit
ness for the Office, President Roose-
welt has practically declared war on
the job-trading Republican delegates
of the south. This is a courageous
step, since the men whom the presi-
dent has defed by this appointment
will he In control of the vote of the
southern states at The next Repub-
hcan convention, ami will thus be in
a position to wreak their vengeance
on Mr.. Roosevelt by opposing any
aspirations he may have to a second
term.
The corruption to which southern
delegates have abandoned them
selves has long been one Of the worst
features of the Republican national
conventions. In Minneapolis, when
Harrison was nominated, their con-
duct was notorious. Made up for the
most part of negroes and whites of
no standing with either race, they
were willing to barter their votes for
what they would bring. If they
couldn't get the promise of job, the
expenses of their junket we're often
sufficient
1t is evident that President Roose-
Selt is not inclined to temporize with
this class in the Republican party of
the south. If he follows the course
which he has started he will do an
immense service, not only to his
party, but to the cause of good gov
eminent, for which he will have the
commendation OF all honest men, re
gardless of party.

JUDGE JERE WILSON.
A Few Incidents in the Career of the
Noted Advocate.

AOAIuLG Dtt-l
One of the ablest lawyers reared and
trained in the central west and a poll
tician of the old days passes from the
stage with the death of Judge Jere Will
of the pioneer life of Indiana and was
one of the famous group of state build
ers which included Harrison, Morton,
Though q years Of age. he was apparent
~ in robust healta when the summons
came, being actively engaged before the
naval court of inquiry as senior counsel
for Admiral Schley.
Judge Wilson was one of the most in
teresting personages in the local life of
Washington. where he has resided for
score OF years He was a congressman
from Indiana a generation ago and was
in his intellectual prime when stricken
down. A fighting man ne was forty years
fighting lawyer to the end. But he fought
with brains, not with fists. In 1867 he
was circuit judge in Indiana. and az
nOuncement was made that there was
to be a prize fight in Franklin county,
which was a part OF his judicial district.
Sporting men and fight fanciers were
gathered from all parts of the United
States. One OF the contestants was Joe
Coburn of St. Louis. who had q national
reputation. The other was good enough
to give promise for fight. In those
days the law took notice OF prize fighters
in way that did not prevent the fights.
The men who proposed TO tight were
often hauled before a Judge and tried
on the charge OF consorting Tor an az
fray. They were fined for their bloody
intentions and left the court room to
have their fight anyway.
When the prosecuting attorney aske
for the sentencing OF Coburn and his AZ
tagonist because they were preparing
fight. Judge Wilson assumed the l.
with entire willingness. He said so
thing like this:
As you know. I am aware OF
sort OF an affray you intend havir

fighting is not profitable in this sta
