Lawyers like the business manner
in which Judge w. I. Stuart OF the
Doniphan-B rown-Nemah district runs
his court. They are three big counties.
and the court has no time for foolish
ness. He will not stand for lawyers
making unnecessary long talks. One
lawyer asked to be given an hour to
argue his ease, but Judge Stuart cut
him down to Is minutes. David Thorn

Something new in the affairs of
state has developed. It's an "un-
written message" from the president.
He is holding back on sending various
important appointments to commits
sions and consular posts for their
confirmation by the senate. This is
regarded as an "unwritten message
to the senate that 1t must pledge
favorable action in advance. Surely
an "unwritten message" is a decided
novelty with Mr.. Roosevelt. But then
he's versatile, so it Is not much
to be wondered at.

Questionable politics are not confined
to the conventions of political parties
as is made apparent by happening at
the Methodist Episcopal conference
which is being held in Baltimore. Rev.
c. L. Goodell, of Brooklyn. held a high
position among the candidates being
voted on for bishoprics. 1t seemed that
he would surely win one of these
coveted honors, when suddenly some
opponents revived a long buried Incl
dent in his life-the fact that he di-
vorced his first wife-and on the next
ballot he lost so many votes that his
chances for success were ruined. This
attack was made under such circum-
stances that Mr.. Goodell had no
chance to defend himself from any
wrongdoing In the matter which he
could have done to the satisfaction of
all. One might expect an unscrupu-
lous trick of this sort from the partici-
pants in a minor political convention
but it hardly savors of the spirit that
should prevail at conference among
persons who pose as Christian gentle
man.

He knew the only driver that could

driver who used the same kind Of dia-

writer. as stated in the first article. has
only hearsay evidence, strange as
that may appear.

If the Presbyterians have their way
all kinds of labor, including the holding
of funerals. will be prohibited and stop
ped on Sunday. One good way for the
Presbyterians to accomplish this end
would be for them to see to 1t that all
the cities of the country adopt ordi-
nances similar to the Topeka one under
which the action was brought to close
the theaters on Sunday. This matter is
still in the courts but not even the the
alter managers have any hope that the
ordinance will be declared invalid. Un-
der its terms labor on Sunday of every
sort whatsoever can be prevented.
