Aberdeen professor, for being faithful
to one book, was made ruler over

The state supreme court upholds
the power of the governor to appoint
Judge Bulge to the supreme court for

was elected, or four years Judge
Bulge was appointed by governor
Haines on November II. Upon advice
Of the attorney general, Secretary Gift

until a number of legal points had
oeen passed upon by the courts. Al
though there was no provision for vot-
ing on this office, the names of four
candidates were written on the ballots
at the last general election. The Of
fee for which they were named was
also written in. Upon the ground that
votes were cast at the election and
that the person receiving the most
votes was elected and, second, that
the term Of office of an appointee, in
any case, could not continue further
than the general election in 1916, the
refusal of the secretary of state was
based. Judge Bulge then petitioned
the court for a writ of mandate COM

be. The result Of this neglect Is found
in the records of lead poisoning among
the men. While Great Britain had a
rate of only Is per 100 men employed
In a single year In this Industry. the
rate in this country was something
over 20 per 100.

those who believe that the men are re-

maintain that 1t is a lack of personal
cleanliness that causes lead poisoning

The fourth number of the series on

been issued by the bureau of labor

lead. This important industry en-
ploys in 20 plants visited by an inves-

are exposed to the fumes or dust OF

gers inherent in the various metallur
gical processes, the precautions avail
able to lessen these dangers, the actual
sanitary conditions In the different
plants, the extent of lead poisoning
during the year 1918 among these 1900
men, and the medical care furnished
them. OF late years there has been Il
notable Improvement in smelling and
refining plants, due largely to the con-

establishments and the consequent

The excitement created by the dis

people putting up their location no
