justice HUGHES
PANIED BY GOSSIP
Holds No Grievance Because
He Does Not Head the
Supreme Court

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-There has
been much gossip in political circles in
Washington following the elevation of
Associate Justice White to the chief
justiceship of the supreme court of the
United States This gossip has cen
tered TO great extent in the supposi-
tion that the failure of President Taft
to fulfill the expectation, general in
Washington. that Associate Justice
Hughes would receive this promotion,
would leave the latter in a position
whereby he would be available for a
republican presidential nomination in
1912.
Those in the confidence of Justice
Hughes know he is distressed by this
talk: particularly so by the inference
in some quarters that he is nursing a
grievance because he was not promoted
TO the chief jUsticeship.
Justice Hughes has steadfastly re-
fused, since hts elevation TO the su-
preme bench, to talk for publication;
nevertheless, it can be said with un-
qualified earnestness and best author
ity. that he harbors no such grievance;
that he was never promised the chief
justiceship; that he recognizes the fit
ness and propriety of the appointment
of Justice White as chief Justice that
he is not and does not intend ever to
be a candidate for the presidency and,
particularly. that he is happy in his
work and desires TO be left alone to do
II to the best of his ability.

upon the subject, Church Quarrels,

1t is not at all to our credit that the
ordinary pastoral term is so short" he
said.
This church has had II pastors in 25
years. The average pastorate in all the
churches governed by the congregation
is disgracefully brief This is especially
true of all small churches.
Ministers are driven from field to
field because the ordinary orthodox
Christian has no conscience and often
very low sense of decency in carrying
out his own whims.
Our ordinary orthodox churches
have less respect for real democracy
than Central American republics In
the vast majority of Baptist churches

of contention and publicity over the
head of the majority. If I don't like
