fed to Work for More Cir
cult Judges

Support for the bill fathered by the
Rock Island County Bar association
providing FOR an additional appellate
court and FOR four circuit judges in
each district was given by the city
commissions OF Rock Island and No
line at a joint session at the Moline
city hall this morning. II is proposed
70 establish the new appellate court
in Rock Island.
What was referred TO as the com
munity spirit" was much In evidence
at the session. The speakers used 1t
In their pleas for united support OF
the project. regardless OF whether the
new court is placed in Rock Island or
Moline. The Moline council not only
adopted resolutions endorsing the bill
but also agreed TO appropriate not to
exceed $3.50 TO defray the expenses OF
a delegation 10 20 from this county
10 lay the matter before the state leg
islature.
Present at the meeting in addition
to all the members OF the two commits

Rock Island County Bar association,
and ". y. Meese. an spoke at some
length.
Mr.. Meese made 4 strong plea for
the community spirit. He named other
projects in which the two cities have
worked together in the interests OF

the two over the location OF the court

majority viii 20 into effect At once. Z
Mr.. McEniry said it is impossible 10 1
increase the number of districts IN I
the state or 10 readjust them for po- /
lltical reasons. The addition OF a
fourth judge in each district seems to
be the only feasible manner Of solving
the problem
Creation OF a fourth appellate court
Is important TO the state as whole
and this county is the proper location
for such a court II this is done the
necessity for additional circuit judges
will be felt elsewhere as keeniy as it
is now felt in this district In fact
many other districts are up against
the same difficulties rs those facing
this one and the support or represen-
,atives from such districts is counted
upon to make the Dill a law. Chicago
Is expected 10 give support since Il
needs more judges as badly IS other
parts OF the state do.
Mr.. Kenworthy told OF the need for
RELIEF IN this county where the courts
are unable TO keep pace with the bust

THINK COL. ROOSEVELT
HAS POLITICAL PURPOSE
Politicians Look for Preparedness
Issue in Next Presidential
Campaign.

The recent speeches of Col. Roosevelt
on the Pacific coast dealing with the
necessity Of military preparedness on
the part Of the United States. in con-
nection with his magazine writings of
the last few months, are taken. by
politicians to mean that the colonel
preparedness for war as an issue in
preparedness issue, they believe, he
will force the issue of a stronger and
more definite foreign policy for this
country.
While it is not believed by many that
Col Roosevelt will be a candidate for
the presidency himself. they do believe
that he will have something to say in
regard to the selection of the republi-
can candidate, and that the republicans
will seek to put up a man who viii
have the support Of Roosevelt instead
of his enmity.
Attitude of Roosevelt.
The probable attitude of the former
President toward the candidacy of Root
and Burton is a matter of much specu-
lation. Both of these former senators
have been closely associated with va
rious peace propagandas, and may not
meet with the approval of the colonel
on that account 1t is believed that
Roosevelt would be more likely to give
his support to Senator Weeks Of Massa-
chusets. who has strongly advocated
military preparedness and military
training for a large proportion of the
young men Of the country, or Senators
Cummins Of Iowa and Borah Of idaho,
who hold similar views, and who de-
sire a stronger foreign policy than that
adopted by the present administration.
