The Knoxville Sentinel is the fairest

evening this week the Sentinel pub
lished criticism Of the recent appoint
ment to the supreme bench taken from

much OF it that it gave the article q
double head. The difficulty with this
paragon of light is that he overlooked
the opening paragraph of the criticism

the Star said:

The Sentinel cut this out because it
did not dare to publish it and began
with the criticism of Gov. Patterson.
No wonder the sheet was outlAwed by
the democrats of Knoxville. The Sem

the appointment that only Criticises by

who has spark OF manhood in his

The new justice of the supreme court,
besides being one of the most popular
iurists in TENNESSEE is one of the most
prominent churchmen in the state, and
is one OF the pioneer advocates of tenn
perance in Tennessee. He was one of
the few men who made a personal can
Sass favoring the prohibition amend
ment in 1897. aud has twice participat-
ed IN the deliberations of the general
conference of the Methodist church.
Judge Bennett D. Bell was born in
Sumner county So years ago. He at
tended the public schools of Sumner
county, and in 1873 graduated from
Emory and Henry College. He contin.
ued his studies at Lebanon Law School
and graduated from there in 1878.
Though Judge Bell has never known
defeat, il Is probable that his most dis
tinguished victory followed his gradu.
alton from college. He was graduated
in January, 1878, aud the following
summer made the canvass for attorney
general Of the Ninth circuit. He was
elected in August, 1873, when only 30
years OF age. After serving as attorney
general for eight years, Judge Bell vol
unfairly retired from Office and devoted
his attention to the practice If law, He
succeeded in establishing large prac.
tice, and continued to pursue his pro.
fession until 1900, when Gov. Benton
Nc Millin appointed him to the Judge
ship of the Ninth circuit, to fill ont the
unexpired term Of Judge A. H. Nun
ford, OF Clarksville. In 1902 he wat
elected without opposition, and has
since been on the bench.
