Washington, D. c. Especially -
President Taft received from Gov
erncr Charles E.. Hughes, of New
York, letter accepting rendered
appointment as an associate Justice
OF the Supreme Court of the United
States. Five minutes after the letter
was handed to the President the
nomination OF Governor Hughes was
on IT'S way to the Senate.
While 1t is expected that Governor
Hughes will be confirmed with little
or no delay, 1t is understood here
tnat he will remain as the chief ex-
ecutlve OF the State of New York un-
I'll next October, and will not take
the oath of his new office until the
fall term of the Supreme Court
opens, the second Monday in that
month.
There has been much speculation
ever since it was first intimated that
Governor Hughes would be rendered
place on the Supreme Court Bench
as to whether or not his appointment
would take him out of the fall cam.
paign in the State Of New York,
where all the Republican leaders ad.
NIT that he is sorely needed.
Everybody Delighted.
President Taft would not discuss
this phase of the case in any way.
He has been anxious to secure the
best man he could for the Supreme
Court vacancy, and he feels that he
has done so. He was much elated
over the success of his tender to Gov
ernor Hughes.

Circuit JudgeShip.

Judge Cyrus Newly, we are inform
ed, will be a candidate for the nomina-
tion for Circuit Judge Of this district
at the convention TO be held next
Spring. Other candidates who are
announced are Judge Sayre, of Athens,
and Judge Middleton, of Pike County.
Highland county has never been
represented on the Circuit Court since
IL was established. Several times this
county has had candidate but has
never been able TO secure the nomina-
tion.
No man will be presented TO the
coming convention, who is better
qualified for this important position
than Judge Newly. He is now serv-
ing his fourth term as Common Pleas
Judge and is recognized throughout
the state as one of the best, if not the
best Judge on that bench. He pos
seses all of the qualities that go to
make good judge, thorough knowl-
edge of the law, mind quick to grasp
and see the salient points in case.
not moved by sophistry or eloquence
and best of all he is able to put abso-
lutely aside, when on the bench, all
personal friendship or animosities.
When on the bench he knows neither
friend nor foe. We have often heard
men who were unfriendly to Judge
Newly speak in the highest terms of
his fairness and high ability as Judge
and political enemies without excep-
tion admit his ability and praise him
as judicial officer.
AS Circuit Judge he would be an
honor to that court and his promotion
would be deserving reward for
faithful public service.

CORN AND WHEAT CONTEST.
Ohio State Journal Will Award
Cash Prizes to Subscribers.
Bargain Month Offer.

The Ohio State Journal, with its
usual progressive spirit, offers Three
Hundred Dollars in cash for the best
specimens Of Yellow Corn, White Corn
and November Wheat, harvest of 1910,
the object being to encourage the
farmers of Ohio to cultivate grain SUI
perior to that raised in other states.
The contest is in connection with
The Ohio State Journal Bargain Month
Offer for 1910 The regular rate, for
one years subscription to the daily
Ohio State Journal is three dollars, but
those who subscribe during the month
of January will receive one years sub
scription to the State Edition for only
two dollars. This offer applies to those
residing on rural routes and in towns
where there is no agent delivering
The Ohio State Jonrnal.
As The Ohio State Journal is the
only morning newspaper published in
Columbus or Central Ohio 1t has big
advantage when it comes to supplying
rural route readers with the news.
The farmer wants an up-to-date news
service, just as much as those residing
in town, and is not content with the
delayed service obtained through the
medium of afternoon newspapers,
dated for the next day. Most of the
important news occurs late in the
afternoon or during the night, and
only morning newspaper is in a posi-
sition to present such news to rural
route readers in prompt manner.
Leased wires of the Associated Press
(the worlds greatest news-gathering
organization connect the Ohio State
Journal with the world. A selected
staff of able Ohio correspondents
supply the state news and an en-
ergetic corps of city news writer's are
always on the alert for the Columbus
news. The editorials appearing in the
Ohio State Journal are literary gems.
They are different in style from the
average editorial and are copied far
and wide by other newspapers. They
are also being preserved in scrap books
by some of our brainiest people.
The special two-dollar rate will not
be in effect after the end of January.
Arrangements have been made by the
publisher of this newspaper whereby
you may leave your Ohio State Journal
subscription at this Office and we will
see the order is filled. If you do not
desire to do this you may send it direct
to the Ohio State Journal, Columbus,
Ohio.

Why was not this large amount Of
money expended with home mer-
chants9 Why was it diverted from
its proper channels ?
One of the main reasons for this
mammoth business Of the mail order
houses is that they are good adyer-
tisers. They spend thousands Of dol
lars every year for advertising. They
are continually at it. They never let
up in their advertising campaign.
Their advertisements nearly always
contain some feature which they call
particular attention to as a wonderful
bargain. And sometimes it is good
bargain, but If 1t is you will have to
buy something else with it in order to
get 1t. AS a general thing, however,
you could buy the same article from
the local merchant cheaper. Remem-
