The selection of judge of the Unit
ed States court to succeed the late
Judge James l.. Martin is attracting a
wide degree of attention, much wider
than the people Of Vermont suppose
While Judge Martin was judge of the
United States court for the district of
Vermont, he also held court at times in
New York which is included with Yer
mont and Connecticut in the second
judicial circuit, the first circuit embrac-
ing the states of Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
The United States judges of the see
ond circuit including Vermont are
Judges f. Henry Lacombe, Alfred c.
Coke and Henry G. Ward of New York,
Henry w. Rogers of Connecticut and
Martin A. Knapp of Washington, D. C.
We are thus reminded that, while the
spirit of "home rule is strong with
in us, judges of the United States court
are not necessarily taken from the ter
ritory constituting the jurisdiction of
the courts over which they are to pre-
side.
In other words, the judge Of the
United States court for the district Of
Vermont according to precedent NAV
especially some other New England
state, although we would naturally pre-
fer the selection by the Wilson admin
istration Of some Vermont lawyer or
iurist for this position.
Under these circumstances the af-
filiations of possible appointees are ma
turallv being carefully scrutinized not
only by the administration but also by
the large interests whose cases may
be passed upon by a judge of the Unit
ed States court. The state Of Yer
mont has various cases pending in the
United States court, involving the Yer.
mont public service commission 5 right

der public service corporations to make
various Improvements and provide eff
cient service for the public.

"IF The coat fits you. pld It on"

The Meddler believes he voices the SEN
timent of a great many patrons OF the
local trolly road when he says that the
new o. car that has been bought by the
Twin State company does not promise
adequate relief from the discomforts and
annoyanees which have been so prevalent
during the past few winters. There is
no denying the fact that conditions on
the local street railroad have been any
thing but satisfactory of late, especially
when it has been necessary to use closed
cars. These vehicles which have been in
service ever since the road was built 20
years ago, are obsolete in pattern and so
small they are continually being over
crowded. Furthermore, they are uncom-

pear before the public service commits
sion tomorrow to show cause why tney
should not be adjudged in contempt
for failure to carry out the provisions
Of the order relative to Brattleboro's
station and overpass. The business of
railroading has not been profitable for
the past few years, and it is probably
true that Central Vermont officials
quake at the very thought of being
forced to spend as much as would be
necessary to complete the local i'm
provements. But in spite Of the re-
grettable condition of railroad balance
sheets one thing is certain: Local sta

overpass plan also should be put
through as soon as possible, although
if matters should reach point where
it was necessary to choose between the

other there is little doubt that Brattle-
boro would decide that new passen-
ger station was the greater necessity.
Another thing that the Central Yer
mont and Boston & Maine roads ought
to be requested to do is to combine
their freight depots. The roads are
not competitive enough in the matter
of freight routes to warrant a contin-
uance of the present inconvenient ar.
