CORSON
Candidate for Judge of the
Supreme Court From the
First District.

FIRST District.
The Dead wood Pioneer times,
published at Dead wood, Judge
Corson's home city, in discuss
ing Judge Corson's candidacy
for judge in it's issue of May 4,
1912, says:
He was the presiding Judge
Of the State Supreme Court at
the time Of its organization. and
hls decisions appear in every vol.
ume OF the Supreme Court Re-
ports, beginning with No. / aud
continuing through to No. 26.
1.-THE court consisted of three
judges up to April 1, 1909.
Since then 1t has been composed
Of five members. Since the
court was increased to FIVE
judges 528 decisions have been
handed down. OF this number
l09, slightly more than one fifth
Of the total, were written bv
Judge Corson. The reports of
the state also show that while
the court consisted of three
judges only, the decisions writ
ten by Judge Corson were more
than Une.third of the total num-
Der rendered.
"The quality of Judge Cor.
sons work is of the same high
standard as is its quantity. His
opinions command the respect
not only of the bar of the state
but of the courts of sister states.
They are on q par with the best
courts of any state east or west.
They have been a most potent
factor in giving the dignity and
high standing to u supreme ju-
dicial tribunal which it enj rs
throughout the west. They
are clear, logical and direct.
The difficulties of u case are not
lodged or evaded, but are
squarely met and as squarely
determined.
Tin addition to all this, the
Judges mind is virile; his de-
pertinent digni6ed. his manner
nnfallingly courteous.
"What more could be asked in
a Judge Of the highest court in
the land?"
The sentiment on the other
side Of the state is we'll ilIustrat-
ed by the following excerpt taken
from the Clark County Courier
in an article discussing the can
didacy of judges at some length:
"Who would for 2 moment con-
slider the advisability of exchang-
ing Judge Corson, the Nestor of
the bar of this state, for a man
without experience upon the
bench? Judge Corson has serv-
ed upon the Supreme Bench
since the state was organized,
and with such eminent legal abil-
ity and judicial fairness that not
only the members of the bar but
the people of the state in gener.
al have approved and Endorsed
his opinions and decisions. Dur
ing these years he has served
the people Of the state with an
industry aud integrity of pur-
pose rarely equaled and never
excelled. We have yet to meet a
member of the bar or q we'll in
formed citizen who questions
Judge Corson's success at the

Undecided on Conference

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 9.-State
Chairman Daniel,A. Ryan is undecided
as to whether to call The Progressive
Legislative conference Of members Of
the state committee and members elect
of the state legislature as he was in
structd by the state committee to do.
One Of the aims OF the conference
would be to promote public discussion
and consideration. This will be
achieved in large measure under the
Iew law which provides that the legis-
lature shall meet for 80 days before
the Introduction Of bills and then ad-
journ for at least a month. This in
tcrim is provided for just this purpose
of public discussion of measures.
Another purpose of thee difference
would be to aid Progressive legislators
IN developing a scheme of Progress
| sive legislation. Under the new order
| of things this also has for the most
part been accomplished in the decla-
rati0ns of the state platform.

Girls Too Mercenery

CHICAGO Dec. I1.-Five Chicago
millionaire business men publicly
placed themselves on record today as
opposed to the principles upon which

formed Five Thousand a Year" club.
The man who would win one of the
members Of the club must earn at least
$4,000 a year. Upon this clause is
based the opposition of the millionaire
business men, This is their answer to

Woman Wonder of Ace

BALTIMORE, Dec. Ill consider
the American woman the real wonder of
The age. and reverently take off my hat
to her" said Judge Peter M. Van Ness
Of Santa Rosa, Cal. today.
Il am not talking now of women
who figure in the public prints or of
female prodigies who have done un-
usual things, but OF just the normal
member of the gentler sex who does
not strive for fame OF TO make a
noise in the world. This is the type
that is constantly exciting my wonder
and challenging my admiration. For
example, l met in Paris last summer
a woman whom I had known ever
since her girldhood. Her people were
very poor and she married a man OF
her own class. The hardest toll fell
to her lot. Drudgery Of the coarsest
sort, including the wash tub and scrub
bing, left her no time to improve her
mental faculties, and yet she had native
brightness and somewhere latent am
bitiOn to rise in the world. So she
worked with savage energy to help her
husband and his accumulation OF a
fortune was largely due to her aid and
self sacrificing nature. The husband
died and willed her fine estate. The
children are well bred and will stay
in France, and on the continent, until
they can speak several Of the leading
languages Of Europe with fluency.

Rittenhouse said he had been employed
by Brown without knowing whom the
latter represented or that his work

that through Iudge Archbald's influ

New Nation of Europe

Garrett p. SerViSS in Los Angeles
Examiner: A new nation has had is
birth, and if it is not stined in its
cradle by the crowd of its would-bc
nurses, not one of whom has any
friendly feeling toward the infant pro-
dizzy, il will grow up to take an I'M
portant place in 1.-The concert Of Eu-
rOpean powers" There are several OF
these nurses who could not be trust
ed alone with this vigorous Bulgar
child. They would gladly drop poison
in its milk bottle or smother it III
the dark with a pillow. Fortunately
for the infant, its birth has not been
an obscure one, and too many eyes
are watching it to make child murder
safe in this case.
With every possibility that this new
nation will be a lasting one, the ques-
ton becomes OF universal interest,
''What blood runs in its veins, and
what is It's iDheritance?"
II is o child OF the Slavic race. Il
is akin to the Russian, the Pole, the
Bohemian, and the Slovak. It's i'm
mediate parents are Bulgar and Serb,
but precisely what name it will bear
as it grows UP remains to be seen.
Perhaps 1t will be christened for the
country in which il is born, and be
called the Balkan Empire. That might
dispose Of any jealousy between its
Bulgarian father and its Servian
mother.
The Slavs have never yet played the
first fiddle in the orchestra of the ma
tions, but they believe themselves ca
pable Of handling it, Their origin is
lost in the Obscurity of ancient time
Ethnologists say that they are an Off
shoot Of the great Aryan race, to which
we belong, and which, some aver, had
its origin in Asia, while others declare
that it began in Europe. At any rate
the first historic records Of the Slavs
place them in central and eastern Eu-
rope.
Those branches with which we are
now particularly concerned emerged
from the southern stem Of the great
Slavic family. the Servians and the
CrOatians first and the Bulgarians, who
came from a region farther east, a
little later. The CrOatians became diff
ferentiated from the Serbs, and were
gradually absorbed into Hungary, while
the Serbs set up as an independent ma
ton in the western part Of the Balkan
region, and retained their independence
until they were conquered by the in
vading Turks in the fourteenth cen
tury.
The Bulgars came from the outskirts
of Russia, pushed across the Danube
as early as the sixth century, and Oc
cupied the eastern part of the Balkan
peninsula. In the ninth and tenth GEN.
turies they maintained an extensive
empire. fighting with the Roman By
zantine empire on the south and the
Servians on the west. In the seventh
century body Of Turks or Tartars
from the valley Of the Volga descend
ed upon them, and ultimately blended
with them. These invaders brought
with them the Bulgar name.
During the centuries Of their pres
ence in the Balkan peninsula, the Bull
gars have experienced many intermix,-
lures Of foreign blood, but, says, Pro-
fessor Niederle, the ethnologist, of the
University OF Prague, Sin general it
may be said that the Bulgars We're al
ways Slavs."
