The President has made two important
judicial appointments the past week.
The first is that of John H. Clarke. federal
district judge at Cleveland, Ohio, who is
named as an associate justice OF the
United States Supreme Court to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation OF
Justice Hughes. Judge Clarke is known
as a progressive Democrat who has been
active in reform movements and who
cares more for the spirit OF the law than
for its letter. II is said OF him that he
does not think highly of technicalities nor
red tape, but desires above all else that
justice shall be melted out His advocacy
OF two-cent passenger rate on the rail-
roads made him popular in Ohio. II is
believed that his election TO the Supreme
Court will be OF advantage TO the masses
OF the people.
The Presidential appointed Congress-
man James Hay, of Virginia, to be judge
on the United States Court of Claims,
succeeding Judge george w. Atkinson.
of West Virginia, who retired some
months ago because ofthe age limit. This
is fat and attractive place-the position
being for life and paying 5000 a year.
Mr.. Hay, who has long been an influen-
tial man in Congress and is at present
chairman of the House Committee on
Military Affairs, has been steadfastly
against large standing army and has
opposed the preparedness" clamor that
is so insistent and vociferous nowadays.
The advocates of big army and a big
navy will rejoice to have him out OF his
present position of usefulness and influ-
ence, but we shall be sorry to see him 60.
