terms that their offer made on Mon
day. and which was followed by u

There have been some rather yirile

his elevation to The bench and although

the department nothing has occurred
during his regime as judge. to change
this estimate Of him as a man. His

been Objectionable to some able at

these were objections more to the
temperament of the Individual than
intended as a criticism Of his Judicial
capability We are not in the conf
dence Of either Mr.. Hainer or the de-
partment and we are not informed as
to whether he ,desires or he viii be
requested to accept a third term, but
this much can be said Of him, even by

discharged the duties Of his high offie

lower prices than ever pre-.
That this can be dom without low

costs more. and practically all the ma
