More Judges To Be Named By Pres
ident Taft.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 10
President Taft's task of selecting
Federal judges was by no means end
ed when he sent to the Senate yester-
day the names of a new chief justice,
two associate justices Of the Supreme
Court, and five judges of the new
court of commerce.
There are nine vacancies now ex-
listing in United States courts, and
Mr.. Taft is still busy weighing the
merits of the cases of candidates rec
commended for his consideration.
Rarely if ever has president been
confronted in so brief an occupancy
of the White House with the making
of so many important judicial ap-
pointments.
Mr.. Taft soon must name the fol-
lowing:
A judge for the United States Cir
cult, vice Van Devanter, promoted to
the Supreme Court
An associate justice of the Court
of Customs Appeals, vice Hunt pro
noted to the Court of Commerce.
An additional judge for the East
ern district of New York, new.
A district Judge for northern Ohio
vice Taylor, deceased.
A district judge for middle Penn
sylvania, vice Archibald, promoted to
Court of Commerce.
A district judge for South Dakota
vice Garland, promoted to Court oil
Commerce.
A district judge for eastern Wash
ington, vice Whitson, deceased.
An associate Justice Of the Su-
preme Court OF New Mexico, vice
McFie, whose term has expired.

The Durham Herald says: "The
party that enacts a tariff bill that
does not protect will have to find
some other way OF providing funds
for the expense of the government -
And they will not only have to get
revenue from other sources to run
the government, but they will also
have to provide means for caring for
the thousands of working people
that would be thrown out OF employ
ment if the Democrats give us free
trade.

The Democrats charged during the
recent campaign that the Republi-
cans should be turned out of power
in the nation because they were too
extravagant, and if the Democrats
were put in power they would run
the government economically.
In making their reports to Con-
gress the heads of all the depart
ments asked for as small appropri-
atoms as possible and retrenchments
were made all along the line. What
was the result? The Democrats we're
the first to holler, and were very
much agitated because the Secretary
Of the Treasury did not ask for a
larger appropriation for his depart
ment.

The announcement that this sea-
sons cotton crop In Egypt will be n
large one need not alarm the South.
That means simply that IL will be
large in comparison with former
Egyptian crops.
United States Consul ID. r. Birch.
at Alexandria, Egypt, informs the
government at Washington that the
Egyptian crop this year will approx
mate 100, 100000 pounds. or 1.400.-
600 bales weighing 500 pounds. Pre-
vious reports were to the effect that
the crop would be $50, 100000
pounds, but the crop turned out bet
ter than expected. The Egyptian
yield last year was 1 100000 bales, or
500,000,0O0 pounds.
The Washington government is in
formed that the cotton crop OF the
Laguna district in Mexico shows a
large decrease. It will be only $1,000
bales this year, compared with $780,
900 bales last year.
The question Of cotton producing is
still agitating Great Britain, France
and Germany, and it is understood
that active steps are to be continued
towards encouraging the production
of cotton in the African colonies OF
those countries. However, the sue
cess so far has not endangered the
supremacy of the South as the worlds
cotton producing region.

should read the following paragraph
from the special Washington CORE.
spondence in the Charlotte Observer
THE Democrats in the House
are about to lock horns over the
question of rule and so acute
has the situation become since
the short session began Monday
that a caucus will no doubt be
called some time soon to get the
real concensus of opinion on this
mooted question. The minority
is divided on the question of
whether there ought to be a
committee on committees, or
whether the power of ap-
pointing committee members
should be left to the Speaker"

Our readers have shown . great

states that the prohibition" Dem-
ccrats not only used money 20 cor
rupt the ballot box. but that whis-
kew was also one OF their effective
arguments on election day. The let
ter from Lincoln County states that
the Democratic party had used more
money In the recent election than
ever known before In that county.
and that many are curious to know
where all the money came from.
Many are of the opinion that the
trusts, who have been protected by
the Democratic party. contributed TO
the corrupt fund just to show that
they entertained no malice against
the Democratic party.
From Cumberland and a great many
other counties comes the report that
many Republicans. who were back
ers of the referee system In this
State. were not only inactive during
the recent campaign. but that some
of them actually injured the ticket.
However, as the writer from Cum
berland says. the seed sown by the
Republican organization during the
recent campaign, has not been
thrown away. and will bear fruit in
the next election.

Several Democratic papers in the
State have expressed the opinion that
the Democrats in the Third District
made mistake by not renominating
Congressman Thomas as he would
have had some influence in Congress.

a man like Faison who will have no

were the facts nthe case, but didn't

Judge Boyd in the United States
Court for the Western District of
North Carolina has just rendered an
important decision on the celebrated
white slave case in which Joseph W.
Napier and e. Charles Quaster were
defendants.
Referring to the discussions which
took place in Congress when the act
was passed regarding such cases, the
judge held that the act was not ap-
plicable to such case as was before
him, and he therefore directed the
jury to return verdict of not gull
ty. He held that the United States
Congress could not directly or indi-
rectly pass a law that would make
punishable offenses cognizable un-
der the police power of the State.
He did not hold the act of Con-
gress to be unconstitutional, saying
1t was a wholesome law, but that
this particular case did not fall with
in the purview Of the act
The we'll prepared brief in the
case submitted by Mr.. John w.

The ruling Is made in the case
of Harvey vs.. the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad, and came before the
court from Wilson County; Harvey
being unable to exchange his mileage
for a ticket on account of the crowd
at the ticket office, boarded the train
just the same and the conductor put
him off. He recovered $4,000 dam
ages in the lower court and upon ap-
peal by the railroad company, the
Supreme Court approved the Judge
ment, holding that the amount
awarded was not excessive.
Judges Brown and Walker, al
though holding that the plaintiff
should recover, held that the
amount of damages awarded was
excessive.
