THE WORK OF JUDGE J. P. HOB.
SON.

Inc w SSISI uUllSulIlS SOIIlpdlly
has published an article under
the head of ''The Output of
Courts" giving the number of
cases decided annually by the
Supreme Courts of each of the
States of the union. Taking the
year 1908 as the average year, it
appears thatlmore cases We're de-
cided by the Court of Appeals of
Kentucky than by any other Su
preme Court of either of the
States with the exception of
Texas. where there are twenty
four judges. Kentucky has
seven.
The average number of cases
decided by each of the judges of
our Court of Appeals was the
highest of anyiSupreme Court in
the country, being one hundred
and fifty forseach. The Supreme
Court of Mississippi comes next
with one hundred and nineteen
cases to the credit of each Judge.
During the past five years, five
thousand one hundred and eigh-
ty-one cases were decided by the
Court of Appeals of Kentucky,
in which carefully perpared writ
ten opinions were rendered. Of
the number Judge ]. P. Hobson
wrote the opinions in one thous-
and and twenty.nin e cases, or
nearly one fifth of those decided.
From the records it appears
that Judge Hobson has written
a greater number of opinions
within the period named than any
other Supreme Judge in the en-
tire country. His opinions are
carefully prepared and reflect
his learning and industry as a
judge and his absolute fairness
in the administration of justice.
The State of Kentucky and it's
bar can i'll afford to lose the SER
vices of a Judge possessing the
courage experience, learning and
industry ofJudge Hobson. AS his
term of office as Judge of our
Court of Appeals is drawing to a
close, the people of his district
should, in recognition of his
faithful work on the bench, re-
turn him to the office which he
now holds. Lebanon Enterprise,

The response to the call, by the

court housesdrew so many sub
stantial men, heretofore affiliated
with the regular organization of
that party, can not fail to i'm
press any man of the wide
spread dissatisfaction of Mr..
Taft as President, and as the
nominee of the Chicago conven-
ton. No longer can the adher-
ents Of the President console
themselves that the parting is
founded on sentiment that will
soon be brushed aside, neither
can they live under the hope
that the spell-binders on the
raging stunt will be able to
bring the wanderers home. The
evidence against such conclu-
sions is too overwhelming both
in the numerical power and char
acter and standing of the multi

visor of the Aura ruad district.
Each had six tallies to their credit
when the votes were counted.
The law provides that in cases of a

shall be decided by lot. Storff and
Jensen were cited to appear before
the board today to break the tie.
After they received the notice they
concluded to shake dice, the winner
at the game to take the nominal
tion. The dice were thrown and
Storff won. Jensen then thought
the matter over and concluded
that shaking dice was contrary to
law and refused to abide by TIE
result of the game and came to
Elko. He appe AIRED before the
commissioners this forenoon and
his name and Mr.. Storff's were
written on slips of paper and put
in a hat. The hat was then held
