say that in our opinion he has

The new bench, though il may

no man can reasonably find fault

The elevation Of Judge Penne-

was eminently proper. Twelve
years Of experience on the bench
have made him an ideal Judge,
and have won for him the respect
and admiration of the whole peo
pie. We dare say there is no

could fill the high Office so accept.

Who r the leaders in our best

man may carry a whole library in
his head, and il his coi!os seedy
and his pocket empty he is no
where; while a brainless fop whose
attire is faultless and who carries
a full purse is a firstrate, smart
fellow. What chance has a young
lady a little out OF style who has
to earn her W living, to shine in
society by the side Of one of our
fashionable ladies whose father is
a millionaire? Socially we are the
slaves OF gold. Old fashioned peo-
pie look at n-the cd fashioned way
and say it is all wrong. And so it
is; but it is a fact that stares us in
the face that those who are worth
the most are considered as OF the
most worth. After all, perhaps the
wisest man was right when he said
"The love Of money is the root of
all evil" We know from sad x
perience that is very inconvenient
to be poor, but no man is poor who
has a happy home and it does not
require lace curtains or velvet
