GOOD HERRING CATCH.

st. Johns, N. F., Dec. 15.-Reports
from the winter herring fishery Ot1
the west coas- of Newfoundland, now
in mid-season, indicate that the catch
will be fairly large. In a good year
about 100000 barrels of the fish are
taken in the three centers Of the in
dustry, Bonnie Bay, bay of islands,
and bay st. George. Thus approx
mately two-thirds goes to the United
States and the remaining third to
Canada. The herring are used part
ly for food purposes, when smoked,
but are chiefly valuable as bail for
the cod fisheries.
Since the settlement of the fisher
les controversy between the United
States and New Foundland at The
Hague four years ago, Canadian and
American schooners share the right
to take herring themselves in these
waters. Ordinarily, however, the
vessel owners find 1t, profitable
to let the islanders dc, the actual
fishing and purchase the fish from
them. Because Of the intense cold
and frequent severe storms, the work
is very hazardous. Last year many
vessels were frozen in and their
crews were forced to make their way
to shore across, the Ice.

ROOSEVELT QUITS THE
PROGRESSIVE PARTY
Former President Done with Bull Moose and His
Foolish Friends Saw What was Coming
Before Election but went on Through.

Washington. Nov. 2s. = Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt ia through with
the Bull Moose party. He is sports
man enough to know a dead moose
when he sees one. and he Is politician
enough TO know a dead party when
he Ia an eyewitness 10 the slaughter.
That the colonel is out Of politics,
however, is not to be believed. In
due time he win turn up in some
new role, but how or when Ne will
re-enter the political arena no one
yet knows.
When George w. Perkins and a
few Of the other officials Of the Pro-
gressive party determined. after the
election Of November s, to hold a
conference of Progressive party
leaders at Chicago on December q.
TO determine whether or not an ef-
fort should be made to maintain the
integrity of the Progressive party.
Colonel Roosevelt announced that ~
would not attend that conference.
That was the first indication that he
is through with the party for which
he alone N responsible.
More recently, however, the
colonel has been talking privately TO
some Of his most intimate friends.
and bits Of his talk are leaking out,
Notwithstanding he spoke conhden-
TALLY. To these friends Colonel
Roosevelt has said plainly and en-
phaticaIly that the third party Ia
dead. and he has said with equal em-
phasis that he is through with It.
and through with some Of the men
who aided him In his effort 10 keep
the party alive. in spite Of the whole
sale desertions that have taken place
since 1912.
Perhaps the most interesting com.
ment the colonel has made. % far a.
Is known publicly. was his assertion
to one friend that he knew the pro-
greasiyes had no show In the recent
campaign when be took the stump IN
their behalf. but he went into the
fight this year. SO he explained. be-
cause the men who had supported
him in 1912 demanded that he dis
charge his obligation 10 them. But
| am through with my lunatlc
friends" added the colonel. his re-
ference being 70 those Bull Moosers
whom he supported In the campaign
this year. even though he was con-
vInced they were one and Ill making
losing fights.
Iunatic friends" seems TO express
the colonel's estimate Of men like
Clifford Pinchot. who thought he had
chance Of being elected senator In
Pennsylvania and ex-senator Bevcr-
ldge of Indiana. who thought he
could be returned 70 the senate. but
it i also the colonel's estimate Of

PUBLIC LANDS ARE

As an answer to the impression
which seems TO exist that all the
public lands Of any value have long
ago been take up. Secretary Lane.
in an advance statement from his
annual report. calls attention TO the
fact that since March 4, 1913. set
tiers have made entry on nearly 20,-
O00,0 900 acres Of public lands an
area equal to that Of Connecticut,
Massachusetts,. New Hampshire and
New Jersey combined. During the
same period practically as much
more coal and other mineral land in
the west has been examined In detail
in 40-acre tracts by the geological
survey. and most OF II has been
thrown open TO settlement OF pur-
chase. Some of these lands, such az
those which include workable depos-
It's Of phosphate or oil. are stIll with
drawn pending suitable legislation
for their disposal or use. Another
important activity In public land
classification TO which the secretary
calls attention is the designation Of
lands for entry as enlarged" or 800

der this law approved by him cover

TO HOLD FOR FOUR YEARS

ton OF Governor HaineS- Commission Issued
to Judge Bulge Last Saturday.

no statute for filling vacancies as
was attempted to be done in this
case.
The electors were not notified in
any manner that said vacancy was to
be filled by said election; no candi-
date was nominated in any way at
said election to fill said vacancy and
no person publicly announced him
self or advertised himself as candi-
date to be voted for at said election
to fill said vacancy, through the
press of the state or otherwise. The
said votes procured to be cast for
the four persons above stated were
procured quietly by said candidates
or their friends and in such a man.
ner as not to give notice to the pub
lie generally. The official ballot
used at said election did not contain
any mention of said Office and con-
tanned no space wherein the name of
a candidate to fill such vacancy might
legally be written. 1t clearly ap-
pears that the electors of the state
generally had no notice or knowledge
that such vacancy was to be filed,
since only 525 votes were cast out of
107,91S cast for governor at said
election"
Chief Justice Sullivan takes up the
discussion of the second question in
voked, Does the appointment of
Alfred Bulge, made by the govern
or on the 18th day of November,
1914. run or continue for the balance
of the unexpired term of Justice
Stewart" Article 5 of the consti-
tuition, sections two and six, cited in
he Argument, are cited and dis
cussed, together with other sections
incluslins action 10 of article 5.
The court finds that section 10 had
no application whatever to vacan-
cy in the Office of the supreme or
district courts.
After the vacancy has been once
filled, there is no vacancy to be
filled" says the court with reference
to this section. The vacancy caused
by the death of Justice Stewart ex-
tended from Sept. rs, 1914, the date
Of his death, until the first Monday
in January, 1919 or until successor
should be duly elected and qualified,
a little over four years.
Concluding the court says:
Having reached that conclusion,
it follows that the provisions of sec
tions s2O and 329 of the revised
codes, in SO far as those sections at
tempt to provide a manner of filling
vacancy in the office of the justice
of the supreme court to. hold only
until the next general election, are
necessarily repugnant to the consti-
tuition and in derogation of the spec.
ific power of appointment to fill va.
cancies in that Office granted by the
Gconstitution to the governor, unless
the term next general election be
construed to mean until the next
general election to fill the particular
Office in question"

]. ]. GUHEEN SUC-
CEEDS JUDGE BUDGE
tcopyriRht.l

John ]. Guheen, assistant attorney
general, former attorney general of
this state, was last Saturday after
noon appointed Judge of the Fifth
judicial district to succeed Judge
Alfred Bulge who shortly before
had placed his resignation in the
hands of the governor, the supreme
court decision having elevated Judge
Bulge to the position of justice of
that tribunal for the remaining un-
expired term of Justice George H.
Stewart, deceased, or four years.
Judge Guheen accepted the appoint
ment and qualified by filing his oath
of Office with the secretary of state.
He is appointed to fill the unexpired
term of Judge Bulge which expires
Jan. l, 1915, and the succeeding
four year term commencing on that
date and running until Jan. /, 1919,
to which Judge Bulge was elected at
the last general election. Under the
ruling of the supreme court rendered
in the Bulge case the appointment
can be so made.
Judge Guheen is we'll known over
the state. He has been a resident
Of Idaho for about 33 years, and al
though he has served In various off
cial capacities, he has maintained
Pocatello as his residence. During
Fred T. Dubois last term in the
United States senate, Mr.. Guheen
was his private secretary. At the
close of his four years service as at
torney general or Idaho, ne was ap-
pointed receiver Of the Blackfoot
land Office, and held that Office until
two years ago, when he was appoint
ed by Attorney General Peterson as
his first assistant, which position he
has since held. When seen by rep
resentatives of the Boise papers, af.
ter his appointment, Judge Guheen
said:
I appreciate the honor that Gov.
ernor Haines has conferred on me
and will endeavor to fill the Office OF
judge Of the Fifth district to the
best of my ability. have just filed
my oath Of office as required. The
matter came mp rather suddenly and
| have had little time to make prep.
arations for assuming the duties OF
judge. AS soon as possible, how.
ever. will move to PocatelIo but Il
will require several days for me te
attend to business matters here be
fore | leave. In the meantime sucE
matters as are pending In the die
trict will be arranged 30 that thert
win be no delay in the court
work."
With reference to Judge Guheen'
appointment Governor Haines said
4 consider Mr.. Guheenone of tn
ablest lawyers in the state. In tend
ering him the appointment do ;
with the belief that he has ever,
qualification and the necessary ez
perienee required for the position
, Mr.. Guheen Is well and favorabl

ltrict over which he viii preside"

Judge Alfred Bulge, who, on Nov.
~, was appointed as justice of the
supreme court to fill the unexpired
term of Justice Stewart, deceased.
will hold that Office for four years,
so says the supreme court in a decis-
ion rendered last Saturday, in which
peremptory writ was issued direct
ing Secretary of State Clifford to is
sue a commission to Judge Bulge
for the full term of the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge
Stewart. Secretary of State Clifford,
in order that a friendly suit might
be instituted to determine whether
the appointment was for two or four
years, refused to issue the commits
sion for four years as called for in
the appointment, holding that the
appointment would only continue un-
til the next general election to be
held in the year 1916, and until a
successor to the appointee was elect
ed and qualified. He further con-
tended that he also refused to issue
the commission because at the gen.
eral election Nov. ballots were cast
upon which were written or attached
with stickers names of persons for
the office of justice of the supreme
court to succeed Justice Stewart,
and for the reason that he was ad-
vised that the person receiving the
highest number of votes so cast is
entitled to a certificate of election,
and for these reasons there is no va
cancy to be filled by appointment.
The courts decision sets forth the
above facts and also reviews his
t,ry of the case.
"Notvi' st ding thr cts
say the OF. ii ], IN four counties Of
the state there were 232 votes cast
for w. M. Holden, to fill said vacan-
cy, in two counties there were 129
votes cast for T. H. Bartlett to fill
said vacancy, in one county 81 votes
were cast for G. L. Mcdonald to fill
said vacancy, and in two counties
there were 81 votes cast for Carl
Davis to fill said vacancy, making
total number of votes cast to fill
said vacancy of SIS. All of said
votes were cast in four counties thus
leaving 29 counties in which no votes
were cast to fill said vacancy.
The total number of votes cast at
such election, as shown by the vote
cast for governor was 107,913 and
the total number of votes cast for
the two candidates for justice of the
supreme court to succeed Judge ALL
shie was AZ, 1852; the total number of
votes cast for all of said candidates
to fill said vacancy occasioned by the
death of Justice Stewart was 525,
and the highest number cast for any
one of them was 232. This clearly
shows that said election, so far as
filling said vacancy was concerned,
was not full and free expression of
the public will to fill said vacancy at
said election.
