Editor FL PaSo Herald:
The morning Times of today's date
under Las Cruces notes states that the
case of the territory VS.. Robert +. Hor-
ton was dismissed, and the defendant
found not guilty. after the court had
heard the evidence. AS a matter or
fact the court heard no evidence, as the

was being held was found TO be faulty,
but upon representation of the case to
the grand jury new true bill was
promptly found. Other indictments are
also pending and Horton is now out

CHANGES IN SUPREME COURT.

R Y HIS elevation Of Associate Justice, Z. d.
II White TO be Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, President Taft undoubtedly surprised the
political wseacres at Washington.
1t had been generally accepted that Justice
Hughes would be named for the place, although
no ono ventured to give valid reasons why man
like Mr. Hughes, able though he is, should be
appointed 10 the high place. Only a few years
ago he was practicing lawyer in New York city,
practically unknown throughout the country
and certainly not distinguished for the breadth
of his legal learning or judicial qualifications. An
opportunity came to him. such comes 10 but
few men and5e made a name for himself in prob
ing the insurance scandals. He was elected gov
ernor of New York and was an exceptionally good
official He was powerful on the stump, but dur
ing his meteoric career of few years it was not
brought out that he was an especially brilliant
lawyer or of a judicial turn of mind.
President Taft could have come to Delaware
selected Judge Bradford for instance, and he
would have had a man with at least fine
legal mind as that possessed by Mr.. Hughes.
While critics may say that the President should
have appointed Republican to the highest place
and named Democrats to fiji the two other vacan-
cies it is said that the associate justices preferred
that one of their number should be elevated and
Mr.. Taft who had been a Judge for years natu
rally bent listening ear to the opinions Of the
other judges
The new court will stand six Republicans and
three Democrats Even closer division would
be better.
II environment counts for anything it is rea-
sonabe to suppose that at least the Chief Justice
and Justice Lamar will be conservatives. South
ern men of the Cleveland brand of Democracy are
conservatives prone to look with suspicion upon
any changes that give the Federal government in
creased authority The great questions that af-
feet capital and labor the questions that confront
US because Of the every changing industrial con-
ditions arc likely 10 nc looked upon by Southern
men through the eyes of the past. Courts in
general lag behind the growth Of the progressive
spirit
From Justice Whites decisions on the Supreme
bench il is difficult however, to surmsc where he
will be on the great questions affecting Industry
that come before the court He was, to be sure
with the minority and against the contention OF
the government in the Northern Securities case
bur he favored the income tax, voted with the ma
jorty to sustain the eighty cent gas law in New
York and rendered the majority opinion uphold

When he made this statement to the
assembledGOvernors at Frankfort last

he was the happiest man in the

aduated al West Point. He was q
major-general during the Civil War,
was afterwards Governor of his State
and the candidate for Vice President
Of the Sound Money Democrats in
1896.
Although he lives in an ancestral
dwelling, in a good state Of p-eserva-
ton, is bountifully supplied with cool,
pure water and the finest mint, with
the seductive products Of the moon
sinner within easy reach, il can hardly
be his environment that makes the
gallant old gentleman consider him
self the happiest man In the world
Many persons who arc far ON
happy have greatly the advantage OF
General Buckner. in the material
things which he mentions as his, BE-
sides being much younger. 1T must
therefore be a contented mind and The
consciousness Of a life well spent that

tory of the State like Mr. Higgins, for example,
talk about the Sussex Wings would have little
doubt that Sussex is really Republican. The Re-
publican majority at the recent election, however,
