STEVENS RAPID RISE.

Governor Harding has named Judge
Stevens, Of Hamburg, to succeed the
late Judge DeeIner on the supreme
bench. The appointment has been
forecasted for weeks and in the circle
close TO the governor Il was known
that Stevens was listed for the place.
II will be necessary to withhold
judgment on the appointment until the
new judge has given the public and
even the bar of the state line on his
capacity and fitness for the high office
to which he has been appointed. Like
Rip Van Wrinkle, Stevens lis lucky
man He was appointed to the dis
trict bench shortly after the present
governor took mis- seat, succeeding
Judge Thornton of the Fifteenth dis
trict. His elevation has been peculiar
~ rapid. It Is most unusual that a
comparatively unknown lawyer should
be boosted In suoh quick succession to
the district bench and thence at the
first opportunity to the supreme bench

CONGRESS- AND FOOD PRICES.
