JUDGE KNEESHAW'S VIEW
OF JUDICIARY MEASURE

-. Al large number of tile voters OF
thesSeventlrs Judicial District have
written nae aahings my opinion OF
HGaserB BiilEs124, known as the Judi.
eiafy, Bib, and in order to avoid the
necessity of answering each one by
mail, ] adopt this method Of replying
to. such inquiries.
At the present time the. State is
divided into twelve Judicial Districts,
with one District Judge for each
district The new bill increases the
judges from twelve to fifteen and
enlarges the districts and reduces
the number OF districts from twelve
to six. In my opinion the increase
in. judges 10 absolutely unnecessary.
Instead of increasing the number of
judges, we could very easily attend
to the business with less judges; in
fact, in my opinion ten District
Judges could easily handle the busi-
ness in the State, and therefore the
new law would entail useless ex.
pendlture Of about $40. 600. 90 year
by the taxpayers Of the State. I am
therefore in favor referend of this
law.
Respectfully Submitted,

TWO KEOKUKIANS

Two Naval Officers Firing Adjoining

Much in Common at

Haydenae His wife and baby, born
while he was at sea in the service
of Uncle Sam, are also here.
Lieutenant Hayden, after varied ex-
periences, finally got into the COM
mand of one of the biggest guns the
navy made and sent to France to
shoot off railroad track on land
the guns that hit moving trains
twenty-five miles away and were fired
by higher mathematics. All naval
officers tried to get with these guns,
as they were considered the most de-
sirable assignments to duty In the
service.
In one place, Lieutenant Hayden
and Lieutenant Commander James
Lane Rogers found themselves firing
adjoining guns in battery Of the
giants. They had not met before,
but in a little while 1t came out that
Lieutenant Commander Rogers had
gone aboard ship from Keokuk where
he was manager OF the big zinc smell
ter company and thought he was per-
manently located in the best town on
earth. After that the two talked
much of Keokuk and Keokuk people.
Lieutenant Commander Rogers,
who won several promotions during
the war and was stationed for long
time at Brest, the largest and best
French harbor and the principal port
of entry for American soldiers, may
stay in the navy now. He is gradu-
ate of Annapolis and had six years
service soon after that before he
came to Keokuk.
Lieutenant Hayden, now that the
war is over, will go back as pro-
fessor in Michigan university

they are glad to get back to the old

them to view when in the camps and
