Letter to Cllef Justices, With Cor

( Governor Elease asked Mondey as
TO whether reports from Florence, to
the effect that he had submitted to
the supreme court a list Of attorneys
whom he was willing to- commission
upou the coust's recommendation, as
special judges, said tnat the list as
published waB for the most part cor
rect; "but," he added, "of course
they had to lie little on me, TO

Governor Blease furnished upon

Columbia, Feb. 26.

Columbia, Feb. 26.
Com parison of this letter with the
story on the subject published in the
Florence Daily Times-of which pa
per Representative Hartwell M. Aver
is editor and proprietor-shows that
the Florence article gave the list cor
rectly, except for a few errors is to
initials, AMI the omission Of Messrs.
Bynum, Nichols and Wilson.
The governor, it will be noted,
does not In his letter inform the
court that 1t need not expect him to
commission any persons other than
those listed by him; but, in discus
sions of the matter on the streets,
that is the meaning attached to the
communication.
Another clash between the COVER
nor and the supreme court is now I'M
minent; for the Georgetown bar has
suggested to the court the designa-
tion of MIR. Walter I. Hazard OF
Georgetown. as a special judge, to
preside over term Of the George
town county court soon to be con-
vened. M. Hazards name does not
appear on tfe governors list Of eligl-
bles and it remains to be seen wheth-
er Governor Blease will refuse to
commission him, in case the court
recommends his appointment. In the
decision handed down Saturday, the
court held that the commissioning
of citizen, whom the supreme court
might recommend for special judge,
was an act purely ministerial, the
performance of which is obligatory
upon the governor; he can no more
withhold the commission than he can
refuse to commission an officer elect
ed by the general assembly.
Should the governor, then, in the
face of this decision, decline to issue
a commission to Mr.. Hazard on the
courts recommendation, there would
be presented, squarely. the question
whether The supreme court Can man
damus the governor to perform
ministerial act. In its decision OF
Saturday there is the intimation that
in such event the writ of mandamus
would issue: but the court intimates
also that with issuance of the writ
the court would stop. In the Ian
guage OF Justice Taney, quoted by
the court "the judiciary would then
have "exhausted itself" This would
relieve the court from the necessity
of actually coercing the governor,
but would lay on him the onus Of
non-obedience TO the solemn COM
mand of the States highest tribunal,
in which is vested by the people the
ultimate right of constituting the law,
the governor also being bound by
law to support, uphold and defend
the law as by the court interpreted.
The question whether the COVER
nor can. be mandamused has never
been presented squarely to the courts.
When Governor Ansel dismissed Dis
pensarv Directors Black, Rawlinson,
and Wylie, these directors, in the
original jurisdiction of the supreme
court. sought writ of mandamus,
directing the governor not to inter-
fere with them. The court decided
the matter on another ground, saying
that the question whether mandamus
would run against the head of the
executive department was not raised
by the issues involved; when it was

Hees.DeHaven.

One of the surprise events of the
season occurred last Saturday when
Miss Emilia Hess, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Adam Hees, was united in
matrlmony with William Edward De-
Haven of indianapolis, Ind.
The wedding took place at the
Presbyterian parsonage in Topeka,
in which city the young couple will
reside for few weeks when they
will leave for an extended trip
through the west. Miss Hees has
spent her estire life in this city,
where she is loved by a host Of
friends who regret to lose her from
their midst and who extend sincere
wishes for her future happiness. For
the past several years she has been
a teacher in the city schools, where,
by her earnest. conscientious efforts
she has become known as one of
the most efficient teachers ever en-
ployed here, and one whose place It
will be hard to fill By her bright
attractive ways and charming per-
sonality she has endeared herself
alike to pupils and fellow teachers.
The groom, who is at present EN-
ployed by the Union Library Co, of
Kansas City Mo-, is well known to
many Abilene Deople and his sterling
worth is appreciated by all who
know him, The best wishes OF their
many friends win follow the young
couple to their new home. "

other hundred trains that shuttled
away In every direction.
1t was dark when they rumbled
into the bedlam called Chicago. She
seemed 10 little and alone and grave
some Of her bright cheerfulness
had departed-that Gideon said a re-
Kretful farewell with his eyes. And
she answered the same way.
Gideon hurried into the sticky mid

Kansas City, Nov. 2S.-With y
600 cattle on sale today, market
opened strong to 15c higher on the
best, fat kinds and steady to strong
on all others. We think the market
is from rs to soc higher on light
weight, medium heifers and killing
cows than 1t was at the close of last
week. Should these light runs con-
tinue we can expect to see all classes
of butcher cattle selling higher again.
There is strong demand for light
weight stockers selling as high as
1925 while the medium and COM
mon kinds sell from $4.25 to $4.75.
The yards were well cleaned up of
this class last week and with light
receipts we would not be surprised
to see stock cattle selling as high
next week, as at any time this year,
as We will receive a light run on
account of Thanksgiving coming on
Thursday and yards being closed on
that day makes US short week and
we would advise the shipment of all
cattle of all classes next week, as
we believe the prices will be good.
We are having too many hogs
this week. With 10000 on sale
market opened steady and closed 15
to zoe lower We do not know
how to predict the hog market on
account of condition of hogs now
coming.
