Supreme Court Library
Pleasing To Text Book Experts

Tallahassee, Fla, Dec. 22.-(Spe-
ciaI-Agents for law book COM
panies who ahve visited the Supreme
Court library here in the magnificent
State Supreme Court and Railroad
Commission building are unanimous
in the declaration that Florida has
the best library of law in the South
ern states, SURPRISING many of the
Supreme Court libraries of the
Northern and Western states and
comparing favorably with any in the
United States. There are larger Ii
braries, they say, but none contain
ing more valuable boks that are ne
cessary to the proper practice of law.
Attorneys from Alabama and Georgia
rave come to Tallahassee to study
in the library here because they
found boks in this collection which
are not to be had in the Supreme
Court Libraries of their own states.
Clerk of the Supreme Court G..
Tolbert Whitfield says there are
some books here that could not be
replaced, and that it would require
as least $3.50, 100000 to buy the books

architecture and one of the most
substantial pieces of construction in

fire insurance rate upon it is one
ninth that of the Statehouse. which
itself is made of brick. concrete and
stone. The Supreme Court building
contains the only passenger elevator
in the town of Tallahassee.
Disqualification.
The recent disqualification of Mr..
Justice West in several important
cases because of his connection with
cral has brought some discussion Of
the question at the Capital. with the
result that it is learned that every
member of the high tribunal is at
times disqualified in certain cases, for
ore reason or another. Kinship by
blood or marriage. or as the justices
would call it Relationship by affinity
or consanguinity," often disqualifies
9 Judge from sitting on case. Judge
Taylor, who has been on the bench
longer than any other member of
the Supreme Court in the history of
the State, since 1891, was recently
disqualified in a case because it had
to do with mortgage which he drew
uU Wnen ne was prdcLlclHg law IN
Aiachua county nearly thirty years
ago.
So certain is it that justicse of the
Supreme Court will be disqualified
from time to time that the general
appropriation bills of the legislature
have always carried an item to cover
the expenses of circuit judges who
may be called to Tallahassee to sit
on the supreme bench in place Of
disqualified justices. Judge West
will be disqualified in certain cases

years to come, so long was he attor-
Eey general. But at the same time
he will sit on hundreds Of cases and

" hitch other justices may be disqual-
fled
Circuit Judge Jasc. T. Wills has
been often called to sit on the bench
of the states highest tribunal: he
has alsa been transferred to many
circuits to try important state cases.
The judge says it looks as il when
the people of the state or any of
the larger cities reaches the boiling
point it comes before him for sette-
ment. He has tried some of the most
sensational cases in the history of
Elorida. has sat upon large property
suits from Jacksonville and Tampa.
last year the Catts-Knott fight was
wished off on him for final decision,
and just recently he has set on the
supreme bench in the liquor substi-
tutc law case, the Elks Club case,
the liquor petition cases, the tax
commission case and a number OF
others of statewide interest. The
Judge left for his home in Gaines
vile Saturday night, and from that
fact it is believed here that the court
has decided the tax commission case,
but the opinion has not yet been
handed down.
Oral Arguments.
1t is a noticeable fact that few
people in Florida have ever heard an
oral argument before the Supreme
Court. 1t is not mandatory that an
argument of that kind ever be made
in this state. In fact, all cases are
supposed to be decided upon the facts
set forth in the record and the briefs
Of Counsel. 1t is out of the ordinary
| when oral arguments are heard. but
so often do the justices and atta-
neys agree to have a verbal discus
sion that a courtroom is maintained
and the one here is one of the most
handsome in the South. No court
room in Florida compares with it in
nagnifcence and splendor.
Only once in many, many years
have witnesses been placed on the
stand in the Supreme Court Of Flor
| ida-that was in the Knott-Ca
case from Greenville precinct, Mad
| ison county. Such a thing as hear
| ing witnesses by supreme court is
almost unheard of; but as for that
matter, so is a case like the Knott
Cats controversy for the Democratic
nomination last summer.

the farm machinery makers that
ley have been unable to obtain ma
teriais to run their plants, and it
has been predictaed that unless some
thing is done, and done quickly, to
supply them with steel and iron and
other necessities there will be great
shortage Of farm machinery for
planting and harvesting next year
that will go a long way towards cur
failing production of food, for which
the allies are so dependent upon the
United States.
The Council of National Defense,
through it's Priorities Committee. has
taken heed of the hundreds of letters
that have poured in every day from
the farm machinery makers advising
Ut their serious predicament. and the
innumerable warnings of the serious
consequences to follow unless some
thing is done immediately to alter
the situation. and the right of way
even everything but war materials is
row to be given all materials en-
tering into the construction Of farm
ing implements.
THE Priorities Committee has ap-
piled the Class B l rating, which is
the highest grade of priority next to
priority on materials required for the
construction of farm machinery when
it. appears that the application has
a direct bearing on increasing the
production Of essentiol foods during
the year 1915" said George N. Ar
maby, member Of the Priorities Com
mittee today. Mr.. Armaby has
! charge for the Council of National
Defense Of all matters in relation to
obtaining materials for production of
things directly or indirectly neces-
sary to the successful conduct of the
war, and the sidetracking of things
considered non-essential.
"The Priorities Committee is fully
| alive to the vital importance of Civ
ing every consistent preference to
all materials that will tend to pro-
vide an adequate supply Of labor
saving farm implements" continued
Mr.. Armsby.
In adopting this favorable attitude
towards farm machinery the United
States is following the ltad of Great
Britain and France. In England ev-
evry advantage of shipment and la
Dor supply has b given the man.
ufacture of farm machinery because
it was realized early in the war that
extensie and progressive agriculture
was prime war necessity. In France
where the labor supply was even less
than in England extensive privileges
were extended to farm machinery
manufacturers.
The function Of the Priorities Com
nrittee is to learn what materials
are necessary for the prosecution of
the war. advise the go. ernment and
others where they can be obtained.
and then secure expedition shipment
of the goods.
81 have hundreds Of letters before
me right at this moment from farm
machinery men asking for raw ma
terials Of different kinds" continued
Mr.. Armsby. $50 far as possible our
committee will take steps to supply
the needs of these manufacturers.

SHIPMENTS

TRANSPORTATION

Washington, D. c., Dec. 22-Ship-
ment Of steel and iron and all other
materials essentioal to the manufac-
ture Of farm tractors and varied Ia
bor-saving agricultural implements
are to be given propriety in transac-
portation by the Priorities Commit
tee Of the Council of National De-
Tense over all other materials except
munitions of war and materials that
go into their manufacture.
With millions Of workers called to
the front causing a tremendous short
age Of labor of all kinds, the United
States will take every available step
to maintain the supply Of labor-sav-
ing machinery, especially on the
farms.
The farm machinery makers have
formed an association. the head Of
which will act in cooperation with the
Priorities Committee - keep their
plants well stocked with materials SO
that they can work at full speed.
The Council Of National Defense
realizes that in order to give the
farmers every opportunity to raise
large crops during the next summer
season, as an important factor in
winning the war, there must be no
obstacle in the way Of supplying the
farmers with all tho labor saving ag-
ricultulzl machinery and implements
they need. To do this the way must
be cleared for the machinery manu-
facturers to ATTAIN without delay all
steel and iron and other materials
necessary to their manufacture.

Aero Squadron at Belleville, ILL.,:
Why did't | wait to be drafted
And be led to the train by band,
Or out on a claim for exemption ?
Oh, why did | hold up my hand?
Why didn't I wait for the banquet
Why didn't | wait to be cheered?
For the drafted men get all the
credit,
While ! merely volunteered.
And nobody gave me banquet;
Nobody said a kind word.
The puff OF the engine, the grind
of the wheels
Was all the gOOd-by that | heard.
Then off to the training camp

To be drilled for the next half year
And, in the shuttle. forgotten.

And perhaps some day in the

When a little boy sits on my knee
And asks what | did in the great

And his little eyes look up at me,

And confess that I wasn't drafted

Modern Poetry

Poetry, Hike every great force, has
followed an evolution Of IT'S own, and
as IL comes to us today we may trace
IN Il this general tendency. II has
tended away from the epic and the ex-
preston of hroad communal or ma
tional feeling, and expresses now far
more than 1t did, IN far more subtle
and intricate directions, the feelings
Of the individual. II It gives voice on
public, national or international events
it does so from n far moro specialized
and personal point Of view than Of old,
and with something Of the acerbity
and narrow intellectual outlook Of the
party politician. The strength Of mod
crn poetry hardly seems TO lie for the
future In this direction.
