The coming of the club in its annual
merry making has always marked an
event in Redwood and every one of

Successor 10 the Late B G. Young
May Not be Settled for Some Time,
as the Governor is i'm Michigan

Attorney William e. Sconeld, OF
the firm OF Scofield, Durfee and Sco-
field, will accept the common pleas
judgeship IL It is rendered to him.
This fact was made known today by
Mr. Scofield when interviewed by a
reporter for the Mirror
THE appointment as Judge of the
court of common pleas is a high
honor and the laudable ambition of
every lawyer" said Mr.. Scofeld. "I
think that such an honor is one that
should come unsolicited. 1t is a case
OF the honor finding the man i'm
stead of the man seeking the honor.
'The legal profession Is governed
by peculiar code of ethics. The
members of the bar are bound by
this as are no members of any 9TH
er profession. do not think that 1t
would be right for me to seek or to
make a fight for the appointment. I
will not do that. But IL Governor
Harmon should think that / am the
man for the place, 1 shall accept 1t
and, although 1 realize that 1t is
big task to be n common please
Judge. will discharge the duties to
the best of my ability"
The position taken by Mr.. SEQ
field is practically the same as that
taken by Attorney Fred e. CUTLERY,
George B. Scoheld, W. p. Moloney,
and j. w. Jacoby, who are popularity
regarded as leading candidates for
the mantle of the late Judge Young.
Already Governor Harmon's mail
Is being flooded with letters from
Marion, Wyandot and Crawford coun-
ties. Suggestions made to the gov
ernor are said to be many. Friends
of the candidates are making every
effort to show Judge Harmon why he
should appoint the one they favor.
1t Is unlikely that any action will
be taken by the chief executive of the
state before Monday. Judge Harmon
is a lawyer and good one. He has
served on the bench as well as at the
bar and realizes the necessity or nav
ing Judges who are in every way
competent. He Is personally ac-
ouainted with every applicant from
Marion county, and probably with
those from other counties.
Unless the question were submit
ted by the candidates themselves the
bar association, the county central
or executive committees will not mix
I'm the situation nor will they make
any attempt to innuerce the choice
of the governor.

Southern Railway Rates.

Two years ago the Virginia corporation
commission reduced the rate Of passenger
fares on the principal railroads within its
jurisdiction TO cents a mile About the
same time the States of North Carolina
Georgia. and Alabama reduced passenger
and freight rates The action Of these
States affected adversely the railroad
systems traversing their territory. and
with the coming OF the panic the roads
found themselves in serious financial
straits. OF this fact the people of the
South were finally convinced. the result
being that the 2-cent rate has been re-
pealed from Virginia to Florida Virginia

Nj. Taft Approves a Cleveland Precedent.

President Taft, in his eulogy Of Grover
Cleveland. took pains 10 dwell upon Mr.
Cleveland's assertion of Executive pre-
rOgative in refusing to send TO the Senate
information demanded by that body from
the Attorney General As the relations
between Congress and the Executive de-
partments were the subject Of much
learned discussion during the last ses-
sion. Mr.. Taft's approval Of Mr.. Cleve-
lands position in his famous controversy
with the Senate should be read with in
terest at the Capitol. The country is
under obligation to Mr.. Cleveland" said
Mr.. Taft. for having pointed out in
his controversy with the Senate some Of
the limitations that there are In the
Constitution upon attempted legislative
action TO restrict Executive discretion"
The Executive has a sphere, Mr.. Taft
said. which the legislative branch has no
right TO invade. Mr. Cleveland's action.
he thought. had established some useful
precedents.
The precedents, however, were roundly
condemned as Executive usu-pation by
some OF the most eminent constitutional
lawyers in the Senate at the time, in
Guiding such Republican Senators as Ed
munds. Hoar, and Evarts. and such
Democrats as Vest. Pugh. and Coke.
who were members of the Judiciary Com
mittee. The majority and minority Of that
committee practically concurred in oppos-
ing Mr.. Cieveland's view that the Senate
could not command the production OF
certain papers in the possession of the
Attorney General. the majority affirming
that either House must have at all times
the right TO know all that officially exists
or takes place in any of the departments
of the government" and the minority go
ing even farther. and declaring that any
and every public document. paper. or
record on the files of any department. or
in possession of the President, reiat-
ing to any subject whatever over which
either House OF Congress has any grant
OF power. jurisdiction. or control, under
the Constitution. is subject to the call and
inspection OF either House for use in the
exercise of its constitutional powers and
Jurisdiction"
At the last session Mr.. Roosevelt added
10 the Cleveland precedent one OF his
own. by refusing TO transmit to the Sem
ate reasons why the Attorney General
Gid not intervene 10 prevent the Tennes-
see Coal and Iron merger with the steel
trust, and by denying that the Senate had
any authority TO make request for such
reasons. Further. Mr. Roosevelt laid
down this proposition: Heads OF
executive departments are subject 10
the Constitution, and to the laws passed
by Congress in pursuance Of the Consti-
tuition. and 20 the directions Of the Presi-
dent Of the United States. but TO no
other direction whatever" As might have
been expected. this declaration aroused

ate, particularly on the Democratic side

Defends Washington Society.

From the san Francisco ArEorsut
One who goes at all in the social ufe
az Washington cannot but note one
marked and wholesome difference between
IT'S general atmosphere and that OF most
other American cities. Society, broadly
speaking, is often q competition OF vani-
ties or msrTiaget market. or both.
Washington society is neither one nor the
other. Social motives are far more serI-
Gus. far more dignifed. more important
Whereas in ordinary society the stars ara
the rich and fashionable. the debutante
and the gilded youth, in Washington they
are quite another type. The man or
woman Of achievement and distinction
sits near the head Of the table. the de-
butsnte and the gilded youth are placed
near It's foot Indeed. there IS at Wash
ington a recognition Of position and
character upon standards entirely differ
ent from those OF ordinary fashionable
society One who becomes familiar with
it. who discovers the dignity and ne
charm Of a practice founded in large as
distinct from small motives. finds much
TO commend and 10 enjoy in a society
which IS rarely trivial and almost never

versive. absolutely new doctrine. But the
Senate refused to take any action With
respect to 1t. except to refer a mildly pro-
testing resolution to the Judiciary Com
mittee. whence it is not expected to
emerge.
Amid all this talk OF Executive
usurpation. Mr.. Taft stands unnoved. It
is all sound and fury, as he well knows.
las long as the legislative branch has
the power Of the purse" he observes.
'the danger Of Executive usurpation Is
imaginative. The real danger arises from
the disposition of the legislative branch
to assume that II has the omnipotence Of
Parliament, and may completely control
the discretion conferred upon the Exec
utive by Congress" Mr.. Cleveland main
tanned that discretion, as did M Roose-
welt, and we may expect ike subsistence
upon Executive prerogative from Mr..
Taft An Executive with backbone is as
constitutional as a. Congress with full
sense Of its dignity and responsibility.
