Johnny4et Go.

President Roosevelt, on one of his
hunting tours in the Adirondacks, spent
a very long day in restless pursuit of
big game. BY the time success had fin
ally justified the chase, he made the
discovery that he was a very hungry
man. At his urgent request, the guide
conducted the party to the nearest inn
the wilderness afforded. The journey
was not brief one, and, by the time
the modest hosiery was reached, Mr..
Roosevelt was still more hungry.
When informed that the only fare OBJ
tainable at the establishment was corn
ed beef and cabbage, involuntarily he
made US of the expression which has
long been famous:
Delighted"
Amusement was created in the presi-
Dental party when the chief executive,
whose identity had been kept a secret,
was given a seat al the family board. 1t
was increased when huge portions Of
corned beef and cabbage were passed
from the head of the table where sat
the host. The first plate to make it's
reached small boy and got no further.
The president sighed to express his envy
and disappointment.
johnny exclaimed the host
sharply, tibet bent fer you; tibet be fer
the stranger"
Much to the amusement of all, the
president seized the rim of the plate
or fe side while Johnny held the other.
There was moment of doubt.
The the president softly, and with
d twinkle in his eye, but with inexor-
able decision, leaned over and spoke in
to the red, resentfu1 face of the hungry
boy:

THE srPREArE BENCH CHANGE.

] THE SUPREME BENCH CHANGE.
/ The resignation of Justice William
r. Smith from the supreme bench to
become general attorney for the Santa
F'e in Kansas, and the appointment of
Silas Porter, of Kansas City, Kansas,
to succeed him, came with a sudden
ness that was almost startling. It may
| have a considerable bearing upon the
political situation next year.
Justice Smith, next to Chief Justice
Johnston, was the Oldest member OF
the supreme bench in point OF service,
and had he remained on the bench,
he would himself have become chief
justice upon the retirement of Chief
Justice Johnston, which may be, how
ever, somewhat remote. He was first
elected to the bench in 1898, and last
year was reelected for another six
year term. His service upon the SUI
preme bench has been eminently sat
isfactory. He is recognized as a jurist
of ability and his opinions aDe regard
ed as sound law. His retirement from
the bench is said to be due entirely
to financial considerations. The salary
of a supreme justice is only three thou
sand dollars a year, far less than
scores of Kansas attorneys make every
year. 1t is supposed that the honor
which goes with the position makes
UP what it lacks in salary, but Jus
tice Smith evidently believes he has
a accumulated sufficient honor to last
him for a while. He succeeds Mr.. A.
A. Hurd as general attorney for the
Santa Fe in Kansas, Mr.. Hurd becom-
ing special counsel for the road.
SiIas Porter, who succeeds Justice
Smith on the supreme bench, by ap-
pOintment from Governor Hoch, is
considered one of the brightest lawyers
in Kansas City, Kan. He is especially
strong as a brilliant and witty speaker.
He took a prominent part in the boss
buster movement last year and has been
active in Republican state campaigns
for several years, but it was not gen
orally known that he had designs upon
the supreme bench.
His appointment will hold good only
until the general election next year,
at which time he will doubtless be a
candidate for the nomination for the
balance of the unexpired term of JUS
tice Smith. A political complication
may arise. in that Judge A. W. Benson
of Franklin county is also an avowed
candidate for a place on the bench,
but the boss busters have been calcu-
lating on pitting Judge Benson against
Justice Burch. Just what effect the
appointment of Mr.. Porter will have
on the situation is uncertain.
incidentally Governor Hoch is to be
commended on his good sense in head
ing off a scramble for the vacancy on
the supreme bench now. Any delay
on his part would have resulted in
half a dozen candidates springing up,
but prompt action in making the ap-
pointment prevented that, with the
consequent bitterness that would have
resulted.
