49, RIENDS of justice Holmes are dis
- pleased at the intimation that has
been made in newspapers that are
hostile to the Roosevelt admin
istration that Justice Holmes was
sounded as to his views on the great con-
stitutional questions arising out Of the
war with Spain. They say, with decided
emphasis, that Justice Holmes would not
for a moment have permitted any inter-
rogoratories to be made as to his opinions
on such points, that he would have or
dered the interrogorator out Of his house
in a great hurry had any one. no matter
how prominent in national life, had the
impudehce to question him. 1t Is regard
ed as possible. however. that the Presi-
dent may have learned that Justice Holm
es believes IN interpreting the Constitu-
ton broadly and would be apt to decide
that the Government has the fullest pos
sible power in all matters connected with
its sovereignty. But IL is highly improb-
able that President Roosevelt gave any
thought to Justice Holmes constitutional
views, and that he made the selection
because he thought Justice Holmes spec
tally well qualified.
And now ii is stated that Attorney
General Knox has no ambition to sit on
the Supreme bench; that his name Will
not be considered by the President in con-
nection with the vacancy soon to be made
by the retirement of Mr.. Justice Shiras.

10 public sentiment, are disposed to
20 slow in filing the vacancy. The
public schools, in the n years Of
their existence, have had but
two superintendent. Both were
good ones aud have raised a high
standard of efficiency, to which
their successors must conform or
there will be great public dissatis-
faction. The KENTUCKIAN will not
assume to advise the trustees, for
they are all clear-headed business
men, not only friends but patrons
of the schools, who feel the same
concern that all their fellow-cit-
liens feel. We have only one sug-
gestion and that is that all mex
perienced men should be ruled out
at the start. The schools are not
kindergarten for amateurs. There
are nearly a thousand children
whose interests are at stake and
the superintendent should be thor
oughly experienced, not only in |
school work but in the class OF
school work to which his energies
must be directed. There are many |

The Democratic committee has
acted wisely in postponing until
1908 the consideration of questions
to come up seventeen months hence.
When in doubt, it is always safe to
do nothing The committeeman
who were honestly of the opinion
that early action would please the
people and benefit the party, were
brought to realize that any new
policies sprung at this time of par
ty reorganization would be of very
doubtful eXpediency. Like the fair
minded and conservative Democrats
that they are, Messrs. Ayers and
Rlngo agreed TO defer to the judg-
meut of the older members of the
committee and adhere TO the old pre-
cedents. When the political decks
have been cleared for action in the
campaign of 1908, it will be time
enough to open fire.

The Uniontown- Telegram is try
ing to excite the prejudices Of the
people of Union county against Mr..
Brasher, by charging that he was
in favor OF putting Union county in
to a new senatorial district. There
has been some talk of this kind
in this county also, 10 the interest
of other candidates, but it has had
no perceptible influence on public
opinion. Whether or not Mr.. Bra
sher was in favor of redistrictiDg
the State is not an issue in this
contest and it is not a question in
which any sort of responsibility
can be placed upon him. He has
never been a member of the Legis-
lature and therefore has never
been in position to influence State
legislation. If elected to Congress
he would have to deal with nation
al and not State legislation and
there is Just as much reason for
holding him accountable for ordi-
nances passed by the City Councils
of Margan6eld or Uniontown, as
there would be to hold him respon-
sible for bills the last legislature
did or did not pass. 1t is well
enough to be fair TO all of the can
didates and at least three of the
four candidates have made no legis-
lative records that are proper sub
iects of discussion in this race
Mr.. Stanley's speeches as elector,
Judge Taylor's services as county
Judge and Mr.. Brasher's record as
county clerk are legitimate subjects
for campaign issues, but any opin.
ions they may have held upon any
or all of the 600 bills killed by the
last legislature are not pertinent at
this time.
