future We assure you that either or
you gentlemen are believed to possess
the required attributes of a good judge,
and whichever the higher authorities
honor and respect him, and try to as
SiSt him in making or adding to an al
ready good record
Many informal suggestions were
made in the meeting. Some advised the
wholesale continuance of cases by Stip-
ulation. Others, with important mat
ters pending, hoped for a solution which
would permit of at least some court,
that the ex-parte matters might be dis
posed in an unqueStioned matter, for
legal titles. and marital relations, de-
pend upon this for all time. 1t was
suggested that the present incumbent
call court early on 18th, and spend the
day, without protest in diSpOS1ng or all
work of this nature, and that upon the
morning of the 14th the contest be COM
menced as the chairman see fit, when
all matters might be held in abey-
ance until a final determination of the
rights of the respective claimants thus
important work might be done, and no
ones rights prejudiced.
I'VE believe you agree with US that the
primary object of court is to attend
to pending litigation, and will not
subordinate the important work of the
court by useless technical objections as
to who is the judge, but will if possible
seek a solution wherein the interests or
litigants will suffer least
I'VE are not welded to this plan, any
other which you gentlemen might agree
upon, would be quite as acceptable, if
the object of the court to legally and
be the object of the agreement. We ad-
journed our meeting until January 9, at
which time we hope to hear from you,
as to what we may expect on the first
day of the January term of court
