JUDGE ARrHuR's CLAIM.

II the state central committee is
to name the candidate to supply the
vacancy created by the demise of
Judge Gaynor it could scarcely, 40
better than to place Judge Arthur
in nomination.
The Judge was leading contender
before the convention and at times
the high man. He came very close
to being nominated That should, it
seems, give his candidacy standing
with the central committee which Of
course Is anxious to supplement the
probable will Of the convention were
1t recovered.
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil re-
marking upon the solid support the
judge received from his section Of
the state says:
The judge Is genial, approachable.
comparable, likable. He Is literally
a friend OF mankind, and especially
of children. He has two sons of his
own and both OF these were in uni
form In the world war. And the
Judge was In the service at home to
the limit OF his capacity. This Is one
OF the reasons behind his support for
nomination to the state supreme
court bench. But this Is not the whole
story. Arthur is an excellent lawyer
and just and capable Judge. Els
work on the bench has gained him
tbs confidence and respect OF his fell
lowmen, including alike members OF
the bar and slayner. Such men as
Arthur are the salt OF the earth. That
Is the way we regard Mr.. Arthur In
this part OF the state-and we knew
the man.
The fudge VIII, II chosen to mem
bership on the supreme court bench,
befound worthy Of the honor ! aud
qualified by learning and experience
to fill the Office with the dignity and
efficiency which people have a right
to expect from members OF our high
est state court.

A BLUFF THAT DOESN'T GO.

An item in state paper relates
that an old fellow down in southern
Iowa 'Is ninety but as spry and
young as at 49,
| That's what they all say or would
like to say. Desire is parent to
mendacity. the wish father to ythe

his nine hundredth birthday told the
youngsters Of the 200 and 800 year
old class that he was just as spry
and poppy as when he was only 500
But Methusaleh wasn't. And he pnly
lived sixty odd years more. Which
proves that he was weakening.
| When a man of ninety makes
declaration OF IS he's bluffing and
knows it. But it takes sand even
to bluff at ninety.
! The hardest thing in the world is
to grow old gracefully, to accept the
strength and powers that remain

Some men do it and keep their touch

truth is that later life has certain

gone along so many years since the
day of miracles that while we must
believe in the ever directing force
of supreme being and His power to
do all things, we have come to think
iof natural phenomenon as being
without direct connection or knowl-
edge as between God and man.

Why then did this catastrophe, the
very one of which he spoke, follow
Immediately upon his exhortation?
The human mind will find It's best
comfort in the theory of predestina-
ton, that altho we cannot see how.
it was best for those who persisted
in this strange phenomenon to be
called to their heavenly rest. The
ways of providence are past finding
out. but as long as we cannot be as
sured that the visitation of lightning

Experience teaches us that plotting
paper vests for fountain pens would
be a distinct convenience. And II
you tore your paper pants you
wouldn't need to send them to the
tailor. Just step into the nearest

We can't imagine how the buttons
are sewed to these clothes. Per-
haps they aren't. 1t may be q little
awkward to wrap yourself up in
Irvine every morning. But at night
how delightful merely to pull string,
unwind yourself and fall into bed like
a liberated parcel! And think Of all
the enhancing things mother could
make out of daddy's old duds--paper
napkins, and trimmings for the pan

paper candle shades they sell in all
the smart shops and everything!
Cutting down fathers old clothes
would really become pursuit In 1t
self and probabIyfi after a little prac-
tee, very serviceable frocks for the
youngsters could be fashioned out
of our old newspapers which do
nothing at present but lie around the
house and remind us that liberty
bonds were once at par. And as for
new clothes all you'd have to do
would be to write up to the city and
have them sent home in a letter.
OF course, paper clothes can't be

hold of stock reconstructed from
some of the yellow journals or the
Cosmopolitan serials. But then, II

He cried 'Amen!" and beat 1t when

He gave the razzmatazz to jazz
And ran for heavens sake,
But while he did his shadow did

oh, his shadow did the shimmie-
shake shake,
For he suffered from the palsy and
the quake.
Tho he hated modern music
(And it may make me and you
sick)
His shadow did the shimmie- shake
shake.
Atrocious knew Miasma who
Admired his pious life,
And so, perforce, she said "Of
counsel"
When asked to be his wife.
In church they wed and gossip sad
They made a grave mistake
For there amid their friends they dio

Their shadows did the shinamie-

For they trembled like the snowy
