GOVERNORS STATEMENT
Made In Announcing the Judiciary
Appointments

Gov. A. NJ. Fletcher. when announc-
ing the Judiciary appointments, on
Tuesday. gave out the following state
ment:
The constitution contemplates and
requires the existance of courts at all
times. Therefore it Is my plain duty
to obey the mandate My action in
appointing for two years is directly in
line with advice from the Supreme
court itself to the effect that that was
the only appointment could make for
neither the governor nor the Legisla-
ture. could alter. extend or diminish
the constitutional provision and lin
itation of the term of two years.
THE law OF our sister states. New
Hampshire and Massachusetts. and
other states, which provides for the re
tisement OF judges having reached
the age limit of 20 under certain pro-
visions and conditions is in the line
of conservative. constructive, ad-
vanced thought and should result in
active. verile. forceful courts in touch
with existing conditions.
ANY true or real betterment Of
existing conditions must commence
not so much in the amendment OF eX-
listing laws or in the creation Of new
laws. as in the constituting Of exist
ing law. What is vitality needed is
courts in touch with conditions Of the
present day rather than courts bound
to the technical rulings and conditions
that existed in generations gone by.
courts. whose action leads to con
stfuctive light rather than negative
uncertainty. confusion and proverbial
delay.
1t is my belief that the best inter.

by the citizens Of the state occasion

ton. which is as follows

DIR. cHIsHoLMs LATEST WORK.
"Recreatons of Physician" Now in
the Public Library

DR.. A. Stuart ". Chisholms new
book "Recreations of Physician"
has recently been added to the public
library.
In this book the author points out
how, through the proper Use OF a
SPECIALISTS leisure time he can broad
en- the boundaries of his work thus
enriching the individual as well as
his profession.
The essays may be divided into
three groups-those of literary topics,
those addressed more especially TO
physicians. and those of a purely
scholarly character.
The Boston Evening Transcript Of
October 81, 1914 in reviewing this
book says, "Specialism means depth
in place of comprehensiveness. and
however much the race may benefit
by the intense application of the in
dividual to any small division of a
branch of study, in the long run the
individual loses by the application.
Some have risen above the tendency
and have had the courage to pursue
another art in the leisure moments as
these essays attest that DR.. Chisholm
has done. There is, moreover,
charm in the art that is pursued as
an avocation, an atmosphere that pei
yades it which breathes, OF leisure
and pleasure, such as is not found in
the more strenuous qualities of a
regular occupation"
Take these essays as an instance.
They have a leisurely discursive at
mosphere about them. We feel that
they are written for the pleasure to
be found in the writing. For one
thing they do not attempt to plumb
any depths of o:ganility. The author
does not feel the stern necessity of
being an authority on any of the sub
jects Of which he writes. His paper
on Banquo is interesting and shows
wide reading in Shakespearean criti.
cism, but it neither attempts TO add
" lut SUBJECT, lOT 10 Splittl anu Ciill-
else the work of the critics.
"A part of the attraction in DR.
Chisholm's papers comes from the
modesty of the author. Even when
we get into the realm of his own sub
iect as he does in several OF the
papers. he never assumes an air Of
authority, never obtrudes his own
personality. Especially interesting in
this light is the essay on Physicians
as Men of Letters. In previous
paper he showed us the different
ways in which physicians have used
their leisure by winning names for
themselves in other lines OF work.

it was only one OF number of pro-
