DAYTON WOULD MAKE GOOD.

The death OF Justice Peckham re-
moves from the federal supreme
bench one of It's able members. Who
President Taft will appoint to succeed
him will be upon the mind OF the en-
tire country until appointment IS
made.
West Virginia never having had a
member of that court should receive
the appointment Of one Of her many
able sons 20 that position. There are
LAWYERS almost without end in West
Virginia, fully competent and quail
fed to d scharge the duties of mem
Der OF the United States supreme
court.
But the enc most in line for the ap
pointment and fully qualified by edu
cation and experience for the dis
charge of the important duties of that
position is Judge Aston G. Dayton,
now serving as federal judge OF this
district.
His age, health, great learning, wide
acquaintance with the country's con
dition and needs, and high order OF in
tegrity, would make him an ideal
supreme court judge, and our senator's
and congressman should lose no time
in pressing upon the attention OF the
President the advisability and pro
priety of this appointment. -ParkeFs

mira Tracey. charged with numbering
her husband. Joshua Tracey, by ad

William r. Brown, her alleged accom-
plice in order, as he made her be
lieve, she says. that 1t was love 20
