minority side In most of the great
cases which have been decided by the
court. notably the trans-Missouri rate
case and the trust cases. On the 9TH
er hand, some Of the Republicans who
have no sympathy with the progress
sive movement in the party, as it is
called, are quietly remarking today
that it is unaccountable that Re-
publican president should pass over
Justice Harlan, q man recognized for
his sterling Republicanism, to appoint
q DEMOCRAT who Is more often with
the minority on these great questions.
Regrets are heard that the president
did not name one Of the great lawyers
OF the party, such as Secretary Knox.
Senator Root. or any conspicuously
able Republican Judge.
Criticism Expected.
There is no doubt that President
Taft gave much more consideration
to the fitness Of Justice White for the
chief justiceship than to any other
phase Of the question. But, viewed
from the standpoint Of politics, the
attitude Of the administration may
fairly be expressed in the statement
Of senator who is very close to the
president. He said: "While he ap-
preciated that there would be great
deal of unfavorable criticism over
Justice Whites appointment, 1t must
I remembered that though the JUS

CRITICISM FOR
JUSTICE WHITE
Politicians Are Not Pleased
With His Elevation to the
Chief Junsticeship

Washington, Dec. 15.-The appoint-
ment of Justice White to be chief JUS
tice OF the United States, while con-
firnled by the senate several days ago,
is Just beginning to attract the atten-
tion of the politicians about the capi-
tol.
Justice White is an ex-confederat
officer and q Democrat. Because of
one or both of these facts his promo
ton to chief justice has caused more
sharp comment around the capitol
than has been caused by any other
appointment President Taft has
made. AS to the ability Of Justice
White and as to his integrity there is
not word of criticism, but those
who view appointments from the
standpoint of partisanship are inclin-
ed to be harsh in commenting upon
his selection.
1t is expected that in many sections
of the country there will be applause
because it will be accepted as evil
dence that President Taft has such
conception Of the judiciary that he
rises above party when it comes to
making judicial selections.
Cannot Understand.
But, apart from that idea there ID
much to be heard around the capitol
today indicating that among the So
called progressive Republicans, who
do not like the record Justice White
has made in dealing with the great
railroad and trust questions which
have come before that body, and
among the stalwart Republicans. who
cannot understand why Democrat
and ex-confederate should have been
named, by a. Republican president
there is an under current Of strong

qualifications Of Justice White. but

lion to the fact that he was upon the

Its the nickles and dimes that make

Fellow editor could only let you un-

made of real flesh and bones and
blood from literally freezing and

house would be packed to capacity ev-

Grand Benefit Success
When we called up Mr.. Hunter to-
day for the results Of yesterdays

there would be more than $50."

sympathetic but too busy to attend
