CIRCUIT COURT CHANGES
BILL BEFORE LEGISLATURES

Representative Sam Bennett is i'm
Producing a bill into the General AS
sembly which has for its object the
reduction OF the counties now served
by one Circuit Court Judge. The
bill seeks to create a separate judi
cial district composed Of Clay and
Knox Counties which will permit of
a more rapid judgment of cases,
particularly those already on the
docket.
The present slow movement, due
to the fact that a Judge cannot keep
up with the number of cases brought
for trial, mitigates against the poor
man in cases of damages, since
these sometimes drag on until the
plaintiff is satisfied to take q pit
lance, which means at least immedi-
ate temporary relief, rather than
wait till the crack of doom for an
over-crowded docket to melt down.
1t should be understood that each
case is numbered as received and
must take its turn in awaiting trial.
We commend the bill and congrat-
ulate Representative Bennett on its
introduction.

OFFICERS WANT TO SHED

Now that the war is over, permit
us to wear civilian clothes again
when we are not ON duty" is the
plea of several thousand officers of
the army, navy and marine corps in
Washington and elsewhere. who are
required to wear their uniforms at
all times. The officers feel. since
hostilities have ceased. that there is
no reason why they should be re-
quired to wear the uniform at all
while on duty i'm offices and other
pacels away from the troops. The
question was carried TO the White
House, the importance of any change
being regarded as requiring a decis-
ion from the President, but the YER
dict was reached not to order any
amendment to the rule until peace
is formally declared to exist. Doubt
Jess the President evidently took the
ground that a change of this charac-
ter in the meantime would create
the impression that the war emer-
gency had passed Ind Press.

DO YOU Know THAT HUDSON
BUILDS THE ESSEX?

That fact has not been generally
known. But Essex did not need Hud-
sons endorsement, as is proved by
the sales record it has made. More
than 10000 Essex cars, exceeding
s35,00O,00O in value, were bought in
the first eleven months.
There was no need to use Hudson's
reputation 1as the worlds largest
builders OF, fine cars to give endorse
ment to the sEssex The kinship of
the two cars was purposely concealed
so that the Essex might develop its
own position on merit alone.
We tell you of that kinship now that
you may understand why the Essex
ia superior light bar. The engineers
who developed the famous long dis
lance enduring Hudson Super-Six put
all their skill into the design of the
Essex. Both cars are built by the
same workmen But one standard is
known to the, Hudson and 1t applies
to both the Super-Six and the Essex.
That Why Essex is the success
IL is, whyYits performance is praised
by oil who know it. Come take ride
in the Essex if you would know the
