CHIEF JUSTICE O'RfAR.
The Only Republican Member of
the Court of Appeals Be-
comes Chief Justice.

On Monday. Jan. 9TH. Judge f.
G.. O'Rear became Chief Justice of
the Court of Appeals of Kentucky
by virtue of holding the oldest
commission on the bench, and will
continue in that post for two
years. There was no ceremony
attening the installation.
Only four judges of the court
were present, Messers. Hobson,
O'Rear, Settle and Num-. After
Chief Justice HObsOn had signed
the orders of the last day of the
September term he vacated the
chair of the Chief Justice and took
the oath of office as Judge for a
new eight year term. Judge "
Rear then moved over into the
Chief Justices chair and without
any ceremony began hearing mo-
tons and dispatching the business
before the court. Quite crowd
was present including Governor
and Mrs. Beckham, Mrs. O'Rear,
Mrs. Hobson, ex-Chief Justices
Hazelrigg and Holt, and about
thirty lawyers from Louisville
Frankfort and other towns in the
State.
Judge O'rear has made a fine
impression upon the bar of
the State since his ascen-
sion to the higest legal tribunal in
the Commonwealth, and upon no
one will the honOrs of the position
sit more deservedly and truly than
him. He has eminently qualified
himself for the high station he will
assume.
The present term of the Court
of Appeals will prove most inn
portant one, as there is mass of
interesting legislation on hand a
waiting the pleasure of the court.
One of the most important of
of the cases, in which a decision
will be rendered is the question of
the constitutionality of the County
Unit local option statute. and the
Legislative redistricting act is to
be reargued early this session.

VIZ ACCEPT REQUEST
To Cooperate With the Simplified
Spelling Board.
/ MADISON AVENUE New York,
December rs. 1906.

| MADISON AVENUE New York,
December rs. 1906.
DEAR SIR:-We are deeply in
terested in the present movement
to secure the wide adoption Of the
simpler forms of spelling recon-
mended by the Simplified Spelling
Board.
Nearly one thousand college pro-
fessors and college presidents and
two thousand other educators and
also great number of business
houses. including John Wanna
maker. Andrew Carnegie. etc,
have adopted these spellings.
These are the spellings advocated
by President Roosevelt and now
used in all of the White House
correspondence. Many educational
bodies in this country. and many
literary. scientific. trade and other
periodicals are in sympathy with
the movement. which saves much
labor in writing. typewriting and
printing. much time in the school
life of each child, and much trOu-
BILE in the learning Of the language
by foreigners. Because we realize
these great public benefits of the
movement. and the importance of
concerted action by the periodical
press to familiarize the public with
these simpler forms. we take the
liberty of inviting your co-opera-
ton.
We who are members of the
Board tof which list is inclosed)
take the initiative by agreeing to
use the simpler spelling given on
the inclosed list, provided rea-
Sonable number of other editors
and publishers throughout the
country will act with us. Will
you! If SO. please SIGN and re-
turn the inclosed pledge, with the
understanding that it is not bind
/ INC until you see list of the per-
sons consenting. and then approve.
We will send you a list of the
signers of these pledges AS soon as
the replies have been received.
Please address answer to Simpli-
fled Spelling Board, 1 Madison

Yours respectfully,
