REPUBLICANS
ARE DEPRESSED
OVER CHOICE OF {. ]. WHITE
Whom President TAFT Appointed
Chief Justice of the U. S.
An Ex-Confederate Rebel

Nothing since the November elec.
tions has so elated the democrats and
at the same time SO depressed the re.
publicans as President Taft's choice of
Edward Douglas White, of Louisiana,
democrat, and ex-rebel," as chief JUS.
tice of the United States, says the
Washington correspondent of the
Nashville Banner. The sensation of
the act still abides in all minds here.
That a president would go outside of
his own party and far beyond the do
main of his own home territory to give
the most valuable and valued gift a
president may have to bestow has
caused depth of surprise near un-
speakable.
On the whole, in congressional cir
cles President Taft is credited with
having performed very great eXecu-
tive act, with having done fine and
splendidly independent thing. There

have come from partisan republicans
and such political pessimists as wait
ready to decry the best approved per-
formance. But six presidents before
Taft had the appointment of chief
justice of the United States-George
Washington, John Adams, Andrew
Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses
s. Grant and Grover Cleveland. Each
chose for the office man of his own
political faith and sympathy.
Yet there are eminent republicans in
congress who have accepted the presi-
dents choice with most becoming
grace. So habitually cold and confirm
ed partisan as Sanatory Henry Cabot
Lodge beat every body else 20 the goal
of congratulation. And it was so dis
tinguished republican party leader as
Senator Eugene Hale, of Maine, who
made the motion to go into executive
session for the express purpose of the
promptest possible confirmation of
this man who had been confederate
soldier and his political foe in the SEN
ate.

Some Old Rebels Opinions

Nobody in Washington was happier
over the White appointment t han the
democrat and "ex-rebel " of the Taft
cabinet, Secretary of War j. Mecca
vock Dickinson. With face radiant
with eloquence Of the sentiment, Mr..
Dickinson said to this correspondent
"The southern people ought by now
to appreciate something of the high,
intellectual integrity of President Taft
in the grand thing that he has done"
Himself lawyer of such superior
attainments and achievements as have
given him an International reputation
Mr.. Dickinson paid fervent tribute TO
the character and genius OF the Louis
lana jurist. 1t was, he said, fine en-
ough TO have shown such courageous
independence in selecting for chief
justice man of another party than
his own who had been a confederate
soldier; but the president had proved a
superiority of Judgment that was as
lofty as the magnanimity of his senti-
ment in placing Justice White at the
head Of the United States supreme
court.
Representative William Richardson,
leading house democrat and also a
confederate veteran, sp AXIS Of the APP
ppintment With hcaming enthusiasm.

did greater act His choice Of so
preat jurist was Itself - most admir-
sble display ef professional Judgment,
but his gifl az tina graai Office to one
who WAS confederate snidierand al
ways democrat reaches deeply into
me, as believe it does for all south
erners. 1t will do more TO draw our
people together IN the bonds of kind
lier union than all the parades, brass
bands, soldiers reunions and memorial
day oratory than ever were. Yes, sir;
it was a superbly fine thing Taft has
done"

Au interesting matter was decided
by Magistrate Houchens a few days
ago, says the Phoebus Sentinel, in
which Mr.. B. F. Crockett, formerly
news agent at the Soldiers Home, and
Comrade Rose Of convalescent Com
pany ID, were at variance. Crockett
and Rose had entered into a copartner-
ship to build little shack about IL
feet square at Buckroe Beach. From
"Nick" Dixon they hired enough
ground upon which to erect it, for
which they were to pay an annual
ground rent of twenty-five dollars.
Soon after its completion, Crockett
had new lock put on the door, keep
ing his partner out of the place, then
seized the effects Of Rose, and de-
manded that Rose pay the ground
rent for the place from which he had
been evicted, and the enjoyment of
which had been refused to him.
Meantime "Nick" Dixon, to make
assurance doubly sure, had carried the
house away bodily. 1t was funny

Corning. May 10.-Among the inter-
esting cases that will come up for
hearing at the May term Of court will
be the suit Of John L. Moreland and
Jesse j. Oshel, doing business under
the firm name of Moreland & Oshel, VS..
w. H. Bohanan. The plaintiffs state in
their petition they We're engaged in the
grocery and meat business at Creston
and during the year 1909 they furnish
ed groceries and meat for Mrs Mary
Bohanan, while she was the wife of the
defendant, before the divorce was en-
tered Of record, the amount being
s356.01. The statement is itemized
and ranges from s21 to 1891 per
month. AT the time these provisions
were furnished the defendant and Mrs
Bohanan We're not living as husband
and wife, their matrimonial career last
ing only forty days and nights. Soon
there were divorce proceedings insti-
tuted at Creston but the petition was
not granted.
Later the trial was heard in Corning
and the divorce granted, but an appeal
was taken and the case is now pend
ing in the supreme court. Since the
rendition of the lower court the de-
PENDANT, w. II. Bohanan, has again
married. this time to a lady at Lin

arises what would be the result if the
supreme court reverses the ruling Of

saptIsts Sore Over A. 4 Ms Victory
and Want Chance, but Former
Refuses to Play Game.

Baylor university has issued for
NAL challenge to A. & NJ. college to
!play a post-season game Of football to
decide the disputed or so-called dis
puted championship
In the first place, there Is no dis
|pute In the matter. A. & NJ. won the
championship fairly and Baylor has no
strings on the honors. At the nrst Of
the season Student Manager Scott
Moore sent contracts to the Baylor
team for game, but they were re-
turned to him unsigned. and Baylor
refused to play game with A. & NJ.
The football team has gone out OF
training, the suits have been turned In
and the boys have settled down to
hard school work, and there is really
not chance for A. & M. to give the
sore bunch game. Manager Moore is
right In refusing to play, as Baylor
treated the team Of the college in a
shameful way by not arranging a
game during the season.
A. & M. holds without doubt the
state championship. and the honors
she has received are Justly placed.
