The Appellate Judgeship.

| In TINS issue the ws-MeSsenger an
nounces Judge w. +. Settle as a can
didate for nomination by the Demo
Gratis of the Second Appellate District
for the office Of Judge of the Court of
Appeals.
1t is very pleasing to us to make this
announcement and we are sure that it
will be cordially received by Judge Set
ties friends 10 Warren, the other coun
ties Of the district and the state at
large.
1t was Ia Bowling Green that Judge
Settle located i'd his early manhood
and where he married and remained
until he, went to Frankfort as a Judge
of the Court of Appeals. 1t was mere
that he had his early triumphs at the
bar, where he linked the friends to him
and who have always been steadfast to
him, and where he laid the foundation
for his work on the bench which has
reflected great credit upon him and up
on the people whom he represents
Naturally Bowling Green and Warren
County have that pride in him that
will make his candidacy again exceed
ingly popular here.
Judge Settle had an exec ptionally
able and successful career as a prac-
ticing lawyer before his election to
the bench; and during his ten years Of
service as Circuit Judge in the Sth iu-
dieial district, his judicial work and
conduct we're such as to command the
respect and support Of the voters Of all
political parties.
Judge Settle has made sn industrious,
patient, honorable and just Judge, his
opinions ranking among the best that
have eminated from the Appellate
Court. So we'll poised ard so fair in
his decisions is he that the charge of
partisanship on the bench has never
been made against him
Judge Settle is in the full vigor of
his physical and mental powers. He
is learned Ia the law, bringing to his
work as a member of the Court, the
fruitage Of years spent in the practice
of the law, and of years spent in Its
Interpretation and administration. He
is the present Chief Justice of the
Court Of Appeals known and admired
Of all men throufihout the district that
he represents.
Without meaning to detract from
the worth of Judge J. W. Henson. we
can find nothing in the announcement
Of his candidacy that entities him to
displace and able and tried jurist like
Judge Settle on the appellate bench
Notwithstanding his Complain. of
Judge Settles tenure of Office, Judge
Henson is himself no novice in thu
matter of office holding, or Office seek
ing. He has, we understand, served at
least one term as County Judge. in ad
dition to his twelve years service as
Circuit Judge, he made an unsuccess-
full race in the second congressional
district against the Hon. David Kinch-
eIoe for the Democratic nomination for
Congress.
AS neighbor, a friend of many
years, an admirer Of Judge Settle, and
as one who knows his qualifications
and genuine worth, the News Messen-
ger announces his candidacy and pre-
diets such a hearty and enthusiastic
support of him throughout the district
as will insure his nomination at the
hands of the Democratic party in the
primary of August 1918, and his re
election in November following News
Messenger.

FALSE ECONOMY IS
DANGER TO KING AK
Man Who Withholds Member
ship Now Is Biting Off His
Own Nose" Says Ever
EFT Buckingham.

THE man who thinks he is prac-
ticing economy by holding out his
Ak-Sar-Ben membership this year, is
biting off his own nose" said Everett
Buckingham, president of the board
of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben.
I'VE need at least 1000 more men,
bers," he continued. I'VE have al
ready passed the LOO mark.
Economy and conservation OF re-
sources are urged up~I us as meas
ures to aid in the successful prosecu-
ton of the war, which means, in part,
that we must not spend our money
fooishly. We are asked by the go"-
eminent to stimulate business up to
the greatest possible degree that the
economic power OF the United States
shall ultimately overwhelm our en-
envy.
Good Membership Arguments.
These are splendid arguments for
record-breaking membership in Ak
Sar-Ben this year.
"Ak-Sar-Ben was originated to
stimulate business in Omaha and Ne
braska, and succeeded. 1t was and
is still a great misunderstanding as
ISOLATION, based on goodfellowship
and jollity. In the dark days OF its
birth Ak-Sar- Ben worked wonders in
pulling Omaha through financial
stress and since those days has ever
proven an infallble cure-all for the
blues, business or personal.
Up to Business Men.
"Now it is therefore imperative that
every Omaha business man join Ak
Sar-Ben for patriotic reasons if for
none other To finance our armies,
our prosperity must be continued, To
insure our prosperity, our business
must be conducted vigorously. as
usual. To boost our business, we have

failedl

an Ak-Sar-Ben badge is as truly an
emblem of patriotism as is the badge
of the Red Cross or the Liberty loan.
