WHY IT'S NOT HOOK.

II is easy to imagine the disappoint-
ment Of Judge William c. Hook, of
Kansas, over the announcement that
he is not after all to be appointed to
the supreme bench. That is the high
est ambition of the jurist. A position
as supreme justice is frequently con-
sidered even preferable TO seat in
the presidential chair. Judge HOOK
has come as close to this honor, ap-
parently, as is possible for one who
fails TO land it, Twice it has been
announced with some positiveness that
he would be named. The first time
the announcement brought out a Wig
orous protest because Of a decision in
rate case that paralleled the famous
Minnesota case on which the supreme
court is TO be called on to pass. This
protest was apparently not regarded
NY the president. Again il was an
nounced that he would be named, and
then at the last moment just before
the nomination was to be sent 20 the
senate, il was again held up, this time
apparently for good II seems to be
now assured that Judge Hook will
not be named by Mr.. Taft for the su-
preme bench
The decision that he is not qualified
to succeed Justice Harlan rests pri-
marily on a single opinion TO which
he subscribed. II was what is known
rs the oklahoma Negro Rights Case,
INVOLVING the constitutionality of a
Jim Crow" law. The laws Of Okla
hOma require that the railroads pro-
vide separate coaches or compart
ments for the accommodation Of the
white and negro races, but equal in
all points of comfort and conven-
ience.
They apparently provide, however.
that sleepers, diners and chair cars
may be hauled for the separate, but
not the joint use of either race. The
negroes who brought the test case
sought sleeping car accommodations.
which were denied. There were no
sleeping car, parlor car or diner privi-
leges for any except white persons.
The majority OF the three judges
on the circuit court of appeals held
that the negroes had no right TO de-
mand sleeper, diner or chair car ser
vice Equality Of service" they said.
does not necessarily mean identity OF
service" They held that us there was
less demand for sleeping car service
for negroes the railroads could not be
forced TO provide it. The opinion was
written by Judge Adams and was as
sented TO by Judge Hook. 1t was rem
dered February 10. 1911. on the
other hand Judge Sanborn. who dis
sented, declared that If two men of
equal standing in everything except
color demanded frst-class service. and
II was provided for the white man
and not for the negro, "the equal pro-
lection Of the laws" was not afforded
both alike. He said. II find the Okla
homa laws violate the fourteenth
amendment To the constitution and are
void"

covERNMENr BY PEOPLE,

Governor Osborn's call for a speci'
session of the legislature to conven
Feb. 26 is as follows:
This is an era in this country
during which government by the
people is becoming a reality. The
tendency is to have the govern
mental function exercised on the
part of the people as directly as
possible.
Because Of the growing appre-
citation of this sentiment. the legis-
lature in Michigan and legislatures
in other states have improved and
are stir improving methods of
election. In Michigan at this
moment there exists an extraor-
binary condition and occasion
which have never been paralleled
Thousands Of voters in both of the
great political parties. and many
in parties Of less magnitude as
well. demand an opportunity to
vote directly upon presidential
candidates. II this. which is their
right, is withheld at this time,
there can be no exercise of il for
four more years. even If obtained
by the legislature in regular ses-
sion during that time. No candi-
date and no party should wish TO
obtain privilege through a mi
nority.
Believing fully that II Is the
right of the citizens of Michigan,
irrespective of political affiliations,
to Immediately have a presidential
. preference primary law, l have de-
cided to convene the legislature in
special session Monday, February
20, at noon. for the purpose of en-
acting a presidential preference
primary law and for the considera-
ton of such other matters as shall
be submitted in the special ses-
sion.'

Frank Knox a year before the cleo
ton and even before Gov Osborn had
fully decided TO be a candidate at the
primaries, asking Shields to raise $780,

dence against the governor.
Read these facts, which are undIs-
puted:
Shields did not raise the $4,000.
Osborn. when he decided to run,
declined to allow his friends to solicit
money from such a source.
Osborn's most violent enemies have
not been able to rake up one particle
of evidence that Osborn either direct
ly or indirectly received one cent
from the mines of the northern PEN
insula or any other corporation to
assist him in carrying the primaries
or securing the election.
Osborn set in motion the investiga-
ton of tax conditions which resulted
in s65,O00,O00 increase of the assess

put himself under any obligation to

week ago the Port Huron Times

with return blanks for the purpose OF
obtaining the sentiment among the
farmers of the district on president and
on governor.
The names were selected at ran

district on which the Times Herald

cards were sent were not known to
the Times Herald In any way and
they were asked TO indicate on the
return card their choice for presi-

put a cross in the square indicating
to what party they belonged.
Up to the present time 1O6 have

sentiment of the people of the dis
trict Theodore Roosevelt is withou,
doubt the choice of the farmers of
the seventh congressional district.
The preponderance of sentiment for
Roosevelt is simply astounding, when
