FOUR GOOD MEN

II OR precisely the same reasons
that, regardless of party. the
A voters should elect Judge William
P. Lawlor and Judge Benjamin r.
Bledsoe to the state supreme court,
they should SCI to it that Judge N.
P. Conrey is chosen to fill the place
on the appellate bench of the late
Judge Taggart. The former two are
Democrats, the latter a Republican;
but that makes no difference. They
are neither when sitting on the bench.
Judge Taggart died after the time
had elapsed for nominations under the
direct primary law and therefore Judge
Conrey was not voted on in the recent
campaign, so that his name will not
appear in any party column. It will,
however, appear on the ballot with the
names of others indorsed by the Good
Government league. OF great learning
in the law. wide and long experience,
and the highest integrity, Judge Con-
rey is an ideal candidate.
For the superior court the Good Gov
ernment league has indorsed these
three nominees:
Frank G.. Finlayson, Judge Albert
Lee Stephens, John Perry Wood.
Two of these men are Republicans
and one is a Democrat; but again,
never mind that. 1t was not consid-
cred in their Endorsement. They were
indorsed because they were deemed
the fittest for the important position
of superior court judge. Three better
men We're never named, either in point
of ability or honesty.
Mayor Alexander strong Republican
though he is, has strongly indorsed
Judge Stephens, who is the Democrat
Of the trio. A host of Democrats are
going to vote for the Republican NOM
inees, because here's where PARTISAN
ship should not be considered-in the
selection of judges.
Voters who feel this way about Sc
leeting men for office will make no
mistake if they follow the advice of
the Good Government league with re-
spect to these nominees and all others
who have been picked out because of
merit for special Endorsement.

JuNkETING

Editor Herald: We are informed that
President Taft win sail for the Isthmus
about the 10th of November next on
one war vessel and conveyed by a sec
ond one.
1t seems that there are a number of
problems urgently calling for his pres
ence there. One is the fortification of
the canal 1t is absolutely essential
that he, personally, should see to this
matter as the members of our ex-
tremely able engineer corps and the
board of strategy are utterly unable to
cope with the situation and are all
calling Justify for a Moses to lead them
out of the wilderness. The form of the
permanent government of the zone, the
future management of the Panama
railroad and the regulation of the sale
of coal when the canal is completed,
all matters that must be settled at once
any time within the next ten years
are fairly bowling for his presence.
Then the canal employees are asking for
more wages. This latter proceeding is
not so utterly without precedent among
government employees, that the presi-
dent is obliged to drop all other affairs,
even the bouncing of Ballinger, and
hasten to the rescue.
This is zeal, pure zeal. But is it not
barely possible that every one of the
subjects mentioned above could be bet-
ter handled through the ordinary gov
ernmental channels? Could not the
necessary data be gathered and di-
gested by officials trained for that pur-
pose, conclusions arrived at as to
proper courses to pursue, and these re-
suits, with the proper data attached,
forwarded to Washington for the presi-
dental review?
This latter method of procedure
would at any rate save the government
an extra coal bill of perhaps 100000.
1t would not take two war vessels sew
eral weeks away from the practice
drills needed to keep them 'on edge"
Neither would it upset affairs on the
canal zone for a week or more. 1t
would also be much more likely to
give proper results.
on the other hand, may 1t not be pos
sible that the president desires to get
away from the congressional election
returns which will be dropping in
about then? "Quien sabe" At any
rate, he has all the old-fashioned
legislative junketing trips "skun a
mile" and "Uncle" pays the bills.

DAVID B. HILL

TN HE death of David Bennett Hill
former United States senator
Il from New York, comes like
flash out of a dark corner to many
for he has so completely dropped out
of the worlds activities during re-
cent years, although not an old man,
that not a few had forgotten him.
And yet in his day he was one of
the foremost public men in America
and a real power. He went to the
senate chiefly through his political
power-and his means of securing that
was not wholly admirable-but even
with the handicap of being thought a
mere politician he soon took rank as
the peer in learning and breadth of
view of the leading senators, and
came to be widely respected therefor.
His fellow senators on both sides hon
ored him as a worthy foeman.
Subsequently, upon his retirement,
he took equally high rank among the
able lawyers with which our greatest
state abounds, and appeared with dis
tinction and success in some impor-
tant cases. Then gradually came his
retirement, which, in view Of his pre-
vious diligence and ability, was
something of a mystery. He became
as uninhuential in politics as If he
had no talents for the game" If
any one sought his legal abilities, it
did not appear in any public way.
His death in practical obscurity
shows how swiftly the world moves by
the man who does not keep in motion
with it. 1t is far cry from the pol
itics of David B. Hills day to those
of the present, and yet not so many
years have gone by, as men of his
age measure them.

sUNFLowER PHILOSOPHY

When a man is hard of hearing he is
always fond of asking questions.
Hundreds of men are married be-
cause they are towards, and afraid to
back out.
The knowing smile worn by some
men when talking about girls Injuries
more regulations than anything ac-
tually said.
If you want to please a young fell
low, no matter how bony or how fat
he may be, say he is of athletic build
and he'll be your friend for life.
The fashions are still pretty bad
but there is no denying that step in
advance was made when humanity got
away from red flannel underwear.
The newspapers pay entirely toe
much attention to the marriages and
divorces of actors. The same space
devoted to abusing honest men would
create greater interest. - Atchisor

Judge Wilbur said: "If you uphold a
