SOMEWHAT PREMATURE.
What Judge Smith Has to Say About
the Commission Appointed
the Governor.

Judge of the Superior Court p p
Smith has given to the public the fol-
lowing with reference to the commits
sion of physicians appointed by Cover
nor W. A. stone to ascertain if the
judges disability is permanent:
This appears somewhat premat ture
since the period of one year specified
by the Act of 1891 as a prerequisite has
not expired since my last performance
of judicial duties. l sat with the court
in Scranton last January. and the opin-
ions in the cases assigned to me were
filed in March. My last opinion was
filed in May, about six months ago. Yet
if j am permanently incapacitated to
perform the duties of the office as
contemplated by the statute, I concede
the public right to have the office filed
by one who can perform its duties.
Il am ready at any time to meet a
fair and unbiased investigation of the
questions arising in the case. / have
but little acquaintance With any of the
physicians named by the governor and
one of them ! have no recollection of
having met. But / know no reason for
objecting to any of them l have re-
peatedly been examined by some of the
ablest medical specialists, all of whom
assured me that l am making rapid and
substantial progress toward recovery.
In fact, 1 have beeen so confident ON
this point that before the examination
directed by the governor was announced
! had arranged to take my place on the
bench next Monday, and it is still my
intention to do So"

In the thirties he took up numbering
