CAMPBELL TALKS OF
JUDGESH|P REPORT
Birmingham Man May Be
come Chief Justice of the
Court of Claims

e. X Camhpbell has returned from
Washington. but does not go into de-
tails concerning his chance of mailing
down the judgeship in the federal court
OF claims.
For although there is every reason to
believe that Mr. Campbell will receive the
appointment, it is true, nevertheless,
that he has not as yet been put in
charge For fear that there might be
a slip, he is refraining from ardent dis
cussion, and is receiving with degree
of bashfulness the congratulations of his
friends.
"of course" said he hsx reasons to to
believe that | will be given the place l
am practically certain that the Attorney
General will recommend me to President
Wilson. But the President has not sent
my name to the Senate and the Senate
has not confirmed me. Therefore, no one
can tell whether l will be appointed or
not"
There was much discussion following
The Age e-Herald's washington story con-
cerning the opportunity confronting Mr..
Campbell as to whether or not he would
be made chief justice or the court lt
row develops, however. that Justice
Howery, Mississippian and kinsman
of the family OF Evans ]. Dunno of Bir-
mingham, will in all probability be pro-
NOTED to the position of chief justice. 1t
Is understood, however, that Justice How
cry, who will be 70 years of age next
year, will retire from the service, and
;- ,,o of Mr. Car1nball
stepping into the position of chief JUS
tice.
Should Mr.. Campbell be appointed, he
would accept. This would necessitate
his removal from Birmingham. He
would yield law practice worth more
per annum than 5000, but would have
the satisfaction in receiving, in exchange,
a position of great honor and congenial
work for a life time.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Defense of Bob Taylor
le Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Ssvoyard has brought to our mind
one of Shakespeare's lines: "He who
steals my purse-'tis something: It's
nothing. But he who filches from me
my good name,'' etc. For he has made
an unjust assault upon our beloved de-
ceased and much lamented Bob Taylor,
our Bob. Big hearted. sympathetic man
who has brought more joy to the sor-
row stricken people of Tennessee than
any living man. He was a man who
had rather a convicts family should
have the fruits of his labor than
scheming state officials. He was al
ways ready to listen to those who were
in need and trouble, always with words
and acts of cheer and comfort. Were
not these great and godly acts?
Knowing him personally. having felt
the warm grasp of friendship and heard
his voice proclaiming peace on earth.
good will toward men; knowing he
lived up to this motto, I stand ready
to defend him against the brilliant
pen of Savoyard or anyone else. | saw
him lying in state at Nashville and
there was endless throng of people
paying their respect to him The last
| time | saw him alive l asked him
how politics was progressing and he
answered: MY boy, believe the whole
world is going Democratic" and 1t
seems like he knew for Wilson was
| elected.
J Mexico is trying to establish that
form and the former allies of Turkey
| are striving for it. If Savoyard had
| been gifted with such foresight his
| pen would not have attacked our Bob.
| For we hold and CHERISH sweet mem
ories of his noble deeds. we defend
!, because we know and have SEEN Ru-
mors are for Savoyard and the kind
| that attack dead mems past lives. and
| knowledge is for us who have seen
| the great work of a great man who
would say, Father, forgive them,
they know not what they say

In an informal interview, the senator
expressed the belief that the extraordi-
rary session of Congress would be with
cut sensational developments.
COnfine Work to Tariff
Il am Of the opinion he said. that
we should conflne our legislation in the
extra session to the tariff. The people
are expecting action on the tariff. We
should not consider finances too soon,
should not, in other words, go off half
cooked. A committee has been appointed
to investigate the money question. The
members of that committee should be
accorded all time necessary to formulate
their report. The question is a big one,
and will require considerable study.
1T is my opinion that we should re-
wise the tariff to such an extent that
it does not stand simply as a protection
for big. business. We should go about
il carefully Should it be found neces-
sary to reduce the protection on GER
tain article 100 per cent we should re-
dnce it 50 per cent the first year and 25
per cent in succeeding years. am in
formed that President Wilson has sig
nified that he has Identical views"
Senator Johnston is opposed to the pol
icy of the new administration to permit
federal officeholders to serve out their
urexpired terms. In this regard he said:
HThe people have entrusted the govern
ment to the democrats. It was evidently
the Intention of the people that all along

Democratic POstmasters
''As matter of fact, in regard to Taft's
action of putting fourth class postmas-
ters under civil service regulation, there
is widespread criticism on the part of
democrats. Had he ordered an examina-
tion for fourth class postmasters, or Is
sued notice that hereafter all applicants
must stand civil service examinations, no
one would be able to find fault. But for
him to put republicans in life long office
on the eve of democratic victory and put
them in office without having examined
them for the purpose of finding out their
efficiency-well, that's another question
altogether I think each postoffice in
Alabama should be put under the care of
good democrat. There is no question
but that our friends are just as honest
and Just as capable as their friends"
This morning the senator and Mrs
