they referred him to the instructions

the judge with the matter and the

is the only one whom | ever know ioi
be guilty of judicial improprietes on
the bench, and as soon as these be-
came known in Washington he was
promptly removed from office.
Impatient, pettish or voluble Judges,
easy going judges l have frequently
met, and the result of these faults Isl
not infrequently reflected in CON
temptuous attitude of members of
the bar toward the judge. But the
judge who, even though of inferior
ability, carries himself with dignity
and shows a disposition to be firm yet
fair in his demeanor toward the bar
will seldom have reason to complain
of the conduct of the bar towards the
court or towards its own members in
the presence of the court. There are
of course legal outlaws destitute both

bounds of decorum in court, and these
should be dealt with trenchantly, but

WONDERLAND HIGHWAY
HAS BEEN SUGGESTED

Cincinnati, Ohio. Jan. 10. - Plans tc
build an "Ohio River Wonderland
Highway" to extend along the north
bank OF the Ohio River from Pitts.
burgh to Cairo, were discussed at a
conference of officers OF the Hoosier
Motor Club of Indiana and Chamber Of
Commerce officers yesterday.
Under plans outlined yesterday the
route eastward from Cincinnati would
follow the Atlantic-Pacfic Highway
to Ironton, thence over what is known
as Main Market Road No. I to East
Liverpool, and then to Pittsburgh by
the most desirable road.
The matter will be taken up with
commercial organizations in the va
rious cities along the Ohio River and
another meeting will be called soon to
discuss the plan further.
