Naturally Mr.. Taft does everything in his power to
ascertain the real facts of the situation. Many
who has gone to the White House to recommend
didate has gone through dialogue something like this
THE VIsITOR.-"Mr President, l consider Thomas
x. Jones the finest lawyer in part of the country
and yet develop into poor Judge but Jones has that
kind of character which would make him excellent
Judge. He has wonderfully balanced mind and so
on, and so forth, and so again.
THE PREsIDENT-@Well suppose I decided that
could appoint Mr. Jones? If found that to be the
case, whom would you recommend in his place? How
about Samuel Y. White? He has been talked of very
highly"
THE VIsIroR-"White is good man. an excellent
man.
In this way the President gets from each the real
impartial view entertained of other candidates in the

AS result of this feeling it is often the that the
advancement by appointment is granted the recon-
mendation and of pro forma Endorsements sent
to the White House.
Confronted with this, the President sits down and
writes any close friends he may have in the
munity affected by the proposed appointment. The
information thus obtained he supplements by confer
at the White House, and it frequently happens
that he several of his friends from distant
points give him further and detailed advice.
Soon after he naugurated it reported that
he was about to name prominent at that time in
official life for high place the bench. The

A member of the Cabinet once said II don't think the
President since his inauguration has neglected any
opportunity to investigate and ascertain the ability and
integrity OF any man he proposed to appoint to the
bench. The judiciary is thing he holds jealousy
above the influence of politics and personal affection"
But this simple statement conveys adequate idea
of the immense amount of work William H. Taft has
done to realize his chief ambition and make the Amer
lean judiciary ideal body of men, To accomplish his
object he desired he has written thousands of letters
and held conferences with many men by day and by
night He has sought to discharge this function of the
executive in that kept it untouched by clamor
for patronage pressure of expediency. Time and
again he has converted himself into sort of Judge
detective, employing unusual to decide which
man among number recommended for a certain Judge
ship most fit to fulfil its duties.
Frank B. Kellogg, the "trust buster, said laugh

the appointment of men to that
bench is the highest and most
sacred function that the executive
has to perform.
1t is hard to estimate the diff
culties that confront the Presi-
dent in making an appointment
to the Supreme Court or to any
other bench. AS soon as a vacancy
occurs, the Senators from the
State or district affected put on
their high hats and frock coats
and rush to the White House
armed with the credentials, BIZ
ographies, and, if necessary, the
photographs, of the man or men
they favor for the place. Mem
bers of the House, without waiting
to put on high hats and frock
coats, repeat the performance of
the Senators. A few days later
recommendations of the Eligible
men" pour into the executive
offices by the dozen or by the
hundred. The result is that the
President stands assured that
there are anywhere from six to
thirty men eminently qualified
for the one place, and that the
selection of one of them will mean
the failure to recognize the great

CTAND here behind the scenes
~ at the White House, where
the great drama of American
Government is played, and you
will see the President working
with untiring mind and devoted
heart to achieve the great am
bition of his life.
The days set performance is
ended. The curtain has been
rung down on the public view,
the footlights have been turned
out. There is no longer the hum
of conversation through the
building. The seekers of patron
age, the askers of favors, the SEN
ators, Representatives, and diplo-
mats, have come and gone.
A reading lamp sheds it's soft
glow on the Presidents desk, and
before the open fireplace, where
the flames waver and play, the
Maker Of Judges stands, his feet
well apart, his hands thrust deep
into his pockets. Already he has
made five appointments affecting
the Supreme Court of the United
States, and he has put four new
men on that same bench-a thing
that has been done by no Presi-
dent since the time of George
Washington. He has named the

Sizing Up Judicial Candidates

A pointed out in the beginning of this article is
only by going behind the scenes at the White House
that anyone appreciate the great of work the
President does to for the country best men
Judges. More than he has for man and said
to him:
@You are the only in your district whom con-
slider suitable for this place the bench know you
enjoy law practice that brings you far money
than the salary of the udgeshp but ask you consider
your duty to the country and to accept the position
Such thing done only after the most careful in
vestigaon and the consequent decision that all the men
who wanted the appointment did not up the
high standards Mr.. Taft has set for the bench. He
works his pet ambition day and night. His enthus-
it flags. There is trouble he will
undergo in order to himself that the name he
sends to the Senate is the prominently deserving
the honor all Others He frequently has to burn
midnight oil; but he does it with much glad
when he trying to decide who shall be Judge
1t work that to most people would be tedious and
dry. 1t is also line of endeavor that does appeal
to the popular idea as brilliant and impressive. The
outward manifestation of it is merely written on
slip of paper and sent to the Senate for confirmation
The time and application it requires made bright
and attractive by the excitement of politics the ap
preciative shouts of crowds. But it is work that af
fects every woman, and child in the United States
and its possessions; for the fruits of the labor the
who sit in judgment the tangled affairs of all the
people, the who shall the children of the
needy and shall break in pieces the oppressor."
