Mr., TAFT AND the SUPREME
COURT JUDGES

IT. now se ems entirely certain that
Mr.. Taft will elevate Cover Hughes
70 the Chief Justiceship of the U. 5.
Snnreme court. 1t is also SAD that
he will appoint Mr.. Lloyd W. Bowers
present Solicitor General of the U. >.
to that court. These two positions
are open. Justice Moody, it is now
asserted. will resign, which will
leave another vacancy to be filled and'
for this position, Mr.. Knox, present
Secretary OF State, will be pressed.
All things, that is geographical ana
otherwise, being equal, it is felt that
Mr.. Taft inclines to Mr.. Knox above
most any name to be presented. But
: the eighth circuit, that west OF the
Mississippi, claims gnitlon and
indeed is very insistent. AS the rule
in some circuits has been to elevate
men from lower courts to the supreme
pencil, the judges in that circuit are
clamoring for recognition. They
are shouting and pointing to them
selves III the hope of arresting the
Presidents attention But it is not
likely yet that they have come under
his vision. They are a little too
far from base. MI. Taft can see
little as far west as the Mississippi
and nothing beyond that. When that
stream is crossed, to him everything
shrinks, men such as he seeks. are not
to be found on the western plains, or
in the Businesses OF the Rockies OF the
Sierras His kind must come from
where they observe fashion more
closely, do not associate so frequently
with farm srs, and know more abou
corporations and incline more to thelI
methods, than they do upon the broad
prairies and among the ranchmen OF
the vast illim1table. Mr.. Knox fits
all of MI. TafG's ideas yet he may
not have the nerve to appoint him,
since he is the known representative
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the
U. S. Steel Corporation and other
giant trusts. Mr.. Bowers is as much
corporation attorney as any Of them,
indeed Mr.. Taft chose him right out
of a corporation attorneys office.
But public clamor might not be so
great against him as against Mr..
Knox, since he is not as well known,
or in such great corporate favor. AS
between the two Mr.. Knox is far the
ADLER, and might make far better
judge. But as for those pers ons west
of the Mississippi they had as well
hang their harps in the willows.
They have not ghost of show.

cuFFEY's PROSPERITY.

Col. j. M. Guffey, the democratic
leader from Pennsylvania, who went
TO Denver at the last National conven-
ton ard made desperate effort to de-
feat Mr.. Bryan for the nomination, has
gone to the wall financially: The OBJ
lection to Mr.. Bryan by most persons
was his impolitic money platform, that
is, that he knew nothing about monied
affairs, and therefore, if elected, would
bankrupt the nation. Mr.. Guffey was
one of those who opposed Mr.. Bryan
on those grounds. The country may
now judge between the two. Mr.,
Bryan has his head still above the
financial wave. Mr.. Guffey's has
gone under. There are many other
democrats who left Mr.. Bryan for the
same reason who have long since sunk
out of sight financially, and would be
only too glad to have little free silver.
