The Governors Opportunity

Governor O'Neal will name a progressive as Justice Simpsons successor. The gov ernor has advocated progressiyeness in the states judicial system during the past few months with so much force and logic as to gain the attention of every lawyer in Alabama. This has been the keynote in practically every utterance he has made in advocacy of judicial reform. The eX- ecutive advocates breaking away from the old system, which was characterized by numerous delays, technical reversaIs and entirely out of line with the present day spirit of government.
 The appointment of a progressive on the supreme court bench will have the effect of giving to that court a majority who favor many of the liberal tenden- cies inaugurated by Governor O'Neal The court may now be said to be di- vided-three of the justices being in favor of breaking away from the old system which has obtained in Alabama for the past 10 years and which has brought the court into disrepute In q number of other states and three Of the justices being in favor of adhering to the old system One side fayors re- versals on technicalities, and the other side favors. the substance rather than the form, the breaking away from the old system of numerous reversals and the inauguration of a more liberal and progressive method of procedure.
 This is believed to De Governor O'Neafs opportunity. By the appointment of progressive he can give to the court majority who favor liberal tendencies, who wish to do away with the old system Of reversals on the merest teehEiealities. At the same time the governor can put through one of his greatest principles of judicial reform facilitate the work of The judicial commission, and take one of the most foremost steps that has ever Teen iraugurated in the state looking to a complete renovation of the whole sys- tenn of legal procedure.

Some Suggested for the Office


 It is not believed that Governor O'Neal will promote one of the judges from the court of appeals to fill Justice Simpson $ place. In the first place it is consid- cred improbable that any one fo the three judges of sthe appellate court desires the appointment.
 Judge John Pelham has announced that he does not want it, and the impression is abroad that Presiding Justice Rich ard w Walker does not want the office though it is generally admitted that Gov ernor O'Neal could not make better se- lection than by the appointment of either of these iurists. Judge Edward de Grsffenred has been suggested but 1t is also believed that he would consider the question some time before consenting to take the office.
 The appellate court justices have five years longer te serve, whereas the ap- pointment to Judge Simpsons office will be for an unexrired term, and that term will end in January, 1915. The success sor of Judge Simpson should he desire to continue in office, would have to go before the primary in 1914, and seek his renomination at the hands of the people of the state For this reason, it has been suggested that while the office of justice of the supreme court to succeed Judge Simpson Is one of greater honor and dis 1 tinction than that of a place on the ap- uelate court i, Is hardly probable that | a member of the latter court would dc sife the appointment, inasmuch as each | has five years longer to serve, with tn, l same salary as that received by justices i of khe supreme court.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-08-17
Geographical Situation

In the appointment of Judge Simpsons S successor, Governor O'Neal will probably consider the geographical situation. At present there are three judges of tho higher court from West Alabama, one from East Alabama, one from North Alabama and one from central Alabama. the latter being Judge A. D. sayre of Montgomery
 Neither Birmingham nor Mobile has a representative on the supreme court bench. and both cities have informed Governor O'Neal that they will have a candidate, though it is not known what candidate. will be put forward by the bar of these two cities.
 It is thought moue that the Birmingham bar will recommend Judge c. C. Nesmith of the city court Judge Nesmith has al ready been suggested to Governor ONeal by a numbeu of prominent attorneys of Birmingham, and it is thought that a strong effort will be made to secure his appointment at the hands of the execu- tive.
 Birmingham Lawyer Suggested
 Birmingham lawyers who have been suggested for the office are Judge A. O.. Lane and H. C. Selhemer, both of whom will probably have strong inducements for the office. But the impression obtains In official circles that Judge Nesmith will be put forward by the majority of the Br- mingham bar.
 It has been so far difficult to secure any intination as to the probable ac- ton of the Mobile bar. Governor ONeal has received n telegram from that city advising him that Mobile will put forward a candidate, though it Is not yet known who will be recommend ed. Elliott G. Rickarby has been sug- gested as the probable candidate from that city and color has been given to

ESSEX DELEGATES
CAUSE OF CONTEST
Secure Seats at Labor Ted-
GRAFTON Meet - Protests
Sent to Congress.

PATERSON. Aug. 20.-Bitter con-
tests over the delegates from the
Steam Filters unions of Essex and
Hudson counties marked yesterdays
session of the State Federation
of Labor. The delegates from the
Plumbers unions maintained that the
American Federation of Labor had
decided that the filters must join the
plumbers and therefore were not en-
titled to separate seats. The conven-
tion permitted the delegates to take
their seats. leaving the matter to be
decided by the national body. Not
having a charter the Amalgamated
Carpenters were not seated.
The convention directed President
Cornelius Ford to send a telegram of
protest to each member of the con-
ference committee of Congress with
respect to the pending bill which calls
for second-class mail by freight and
also strongly protesting against In
creased rate in this class of mail.

ing her s-year-old son Edward. who

Since that time she and her boy
have been staying with her aunt.
Mrs. w. S. True, of 80 Washington

When Mr.. Hazard wrote to her a
few days ago begging to be allowed
to see Edward she invited him to
call. He drove up yesterday in a
carriage with two footmen on the
box.
Edward, who was in his paJamas,
asked If he could go out and see
the horses. When he vas given per-
mission by Mrs. True he ran glee-
fully out, followed by his father.
Mr.. Hazard then lifted the boy into

Hazard had been driven to a candy
store nearby, where he had dismissed
his carriage and ordered the coach
man to return to the Hazard coun-

CLAIM THAT NEW YORK
HAS FALLEN DISPUTED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-No de-
tailed report has yet been received
by the war department of the re-
suit of the mimic war in Connecti-
cut for the capture of New York.
although Major-General Leonard
Wood, chief of staff, says the i'm
preston prevails that the Reds, the
attacking force, had won.
There has been keen rivalry over
the result and a definite decision will
not be given out until the report of
General Tasker H. Bliss, chief UNI
pire, is received. The ten days cam
paign ended at Newtown Saturday,
but the claim of victory by the Reds
Is doubted, 1t being contended that
the capture of the metropolis could
not have been accomplished without
another days fighting.

The dances cost but three cents

COMPROMISE ON
PASSA|C SWAMP

TRENTON, Aug. 20.-The long-dis-
puted Passaic swamp case, involving
the filling in of marshy lands between
Passaic and Garfield, by Passaic for
park PURPOSES, which was strenu-
ously objected TO by Garfield, is in a
fair way of settlement today, the
Governor, the Riparian Commission
and delegations from Passaic and
Garfield having come together and
Garfield having practically accepted g
compromise.
This compromise is hat Passaic is
to open what is known as the east
erly channel" to protect Garfield
against foods.
Passaic has made formal applica-
ton for the grant of the riparian land
already taken under a law specially
passed last winter, and Passaic is to
deal with the alleged 'squatters'' oil
"land-grabbers," who have taken pos
session of some of the land illegally.
From present indications the whole
thing is to be settled amicably, and
Passaic and Garfield will be good
%neighbors again.

ATLANTA, Ca. Aug. 20.-Corn-
bread is responsible for the good
teeth of the Southern youths, in the
opinion of Surgeon Allan Stuart. of
the United States navy. He said here
today that practically no applicants
for enlistment in the navy from the
South were refused because of bad
teeth. The general prevalence of corn
bread as a diet is held to be respon-
sible.

cornbread exercises the teeth and

geon. Healthy teeth make for the

get ~cornbread adopted in to the navy
