PIERCE BUTLER APPOINTMENT
EXCEEDINGLY WELL RECEIVED
The appointment OF Pierce Butler,
OF Minnesota, to the supreme bench
the third already made by President
Harding-was generally received with
praise by editors. The very fact that
he has lack of judicial training may
prove an advantage they believe. His
youth also is declared to be in his
favor.
No man ever was appointed to the
supreme court bench, the New York
World, (Dem.), insists, about whom
the general public knew less than it
does about Pierce Butler. The bare
facts seem to be that, while classed
as Democrat, Mr.. Butler has never
figured conspiCuOusly in Democratic
politics, and that, having been sue
CeSsful i'll the practice of his profess
sion, especially as a railroad law eX-
pert, his fame has not spread beyond
narrow bound. Mr.. Butler with time
will have full opportunity to make his
own record on the bench. For at the
start he stands in the eyes of the pub
lie as a man not committed to a pre-
determined course either of liberal or
reactionary views" The fact that The
is not a lame duck" is an excellent
thing the Philadelphia Evening Bull
letin, Qnd. Rep.), suggests in dis
cussing his lack of nationwide legal
fame, while the Newark News Qnd.).
suggests that he will be an unknown
quantity for some time to come. The
News, however, believes that taking
capable lawyer in his prime and ele-
waiting him to this high position is in
firitely better than if the president
had offered the place to defeated
aspirant for office. 1t happens that
Mr.. Butler, like the late Chief Justice
White, is a Roman Catholic and that
fact may be taken as a presidential
rebuke to the spirit of religious intol-
erence now so speCtaCularfy manifest
ed" The SocialStic New York Can,
takes the position that the supreme
court is being packed with reaction
aries of the most uncompromising
type and there is little hope that any
human consideration will find express

can excellent appointment" de-
clares the Buffalo Times, (Dem.),
MIR. Buffers extensive experience iii
government litigation is Il valuable
part of the equipment that makes him
a logical choice for the supreme court
bench" Whether the fact that he
has had no judicial experience will
be an asset or a liability remains to
be seen" suggests the Birmingham
News. Und. Dem.), but it is con-
WINGED that his long experience i'll
railway work as legal advisor to
work in railroad valuations should
make him a very useful member of
the court" The Brooklyn Eagle (Ind.
Dem.), suggests that the SO-Callcd
liberal element of the court now is re-
duced to one" and holds that the an
ti-conservative trend of public opin-
ion, as expressed at the late election,
SHOULD have more of representation
on that court This is feeling" con-
tinues the Eagle, that is participated
in by a very large number OF con-
servatives, who do not doubt the
Conscientiousness of lawyers like
Pierce Butler, but see that the fixed
habits of looking at social and cor
poration questions from one viewpoint
is safely to be predicated about such
lawyers, and that suspicion of the in
teIlectual honesty of the court, as
voiced by Mr.. .Gompers, and others,
whether just or unjust lis most un-
fortunate thing for the dignity and
prestige of judicial decisions"
"Pierce Butler has been noted for
many years for his sheer ability,
says the Duluth News Tribune, Qnd.
Rep). He is one of the ablest law
yers in the northwest" while the st.
Paul Pioneer Press, (Ind(. says his
career has been nothing so much as
a succession of achievements, each
testifying to his possession Of the
highest qualifications" The st. Paul
News. Qnd.), is convinced that he
will be a good justice"

mentioned for the place does not

What do you think about a 10

us. Wen call on the DeFuniak Herald.
We know Cleve can tell
Well, such thing as a 19-lb. pota
to (they said it weighed 10 pounds)
is a fact, and that it grew right here
close to FIorala is also a fact. Mr.. A.
J. Willis, who lives out on Route A,
near the Tillis School house, is the
grower. But, gee Whiz, what
'tater! 1t amt worth having. It's
the biggest potato We ever saw, but
it is also the ugliest one we ever saw.
1t was cracked open until it had to
be baled up with hay wire to get it
TO town. We don't believe anything
except Editor CleveIand's snake-eat-
ing breed of dogs, like he says is their
leading breed down around DeFuniak,
would eat it Did You eve: hear about
balng potatoes? We will just TESS
up that we never did before. But if
YOU want to see it. all YOU have to do
is to come to The News office while
we have this one, and Wen sight you
to it.
But potatoes or no potatoes, Mr..
Willis is a good farmer. He grows
everything in plenty. One of the best
things he grows is fine crop of child
rem. Then, he grows sugar cane, pea
nuts. corn, cotton, and everything it
takes to raise the kids, including po-
tatoes. His present crop of potatoes
is extra fine. They will not average
10 pounds a piece, but they are much
better than the one that did weigh 10
pounds. Mr.. Willis is one of the best

note that Mr.. Butler is an expert in

properties and his experience and
proficiency in this line should prove
of great advantage to him in court

mirablv qualified for his post and is
anrointcd solely on merit" the New
York Times, Und. Dem.). holds and
the president, in making the selection,
according to the Boston Transcript
has exercised the appointing power
to the advantage of that great tri-
bunal from whose deliberations are
excluded the prejudice of race, the
bigotry Of religion and the conscious
ness of class" The Hartford Times
Dem.) points out that Mr.. Buffers
engagements indicate that he is
conservative and what is generally
described as a corporation lawyer.
and the appointment indicates that
conservatism rather than liberalism
will dominate the court as recognized
by Mr.. Harding through the selection
already of three new judges, with the
probability that he will have an op-
portunity shortly to name a fourth, to

WHERE IS sATsUMALAND?

Since the decision Of the Fruit
Growers to organize and develop the
culture of fruit and especially OF the
Satsuma in this section, much prom
inence has been given this fruit thru
out north and west Florida. Now
people are asking. where is Satsu-
maland?' The word was coined by
the fruit groWers--which one in par
ticular we do not knoW-and the COM
pany is having the name copyrighted
so that it will be protected from pro-
miSCiOus use.
At the recent meeting Of the direct
ors of the Satsumaland Fruit Growers
Assn. at Chipley, the question of the
territory to be known as Satsumaland
was discussed and it was agreed that
the counties between the ApaIachicola
and ChotOwhatchee rivers, in Florida
were to be known by that name These
are Jackson, Calhoun, Bay, Washing
ton and part Of Holmes, counties
While it is not desired to interfere
with other sectiOns-in fact the more
publicity given to any part of this
state will naturally benefit all other
parts-yet Satsumaland is as above
described and Mariana is in its very
heart. Since publicity has been given
the name it has been quoted as apply
ing to other counties many miles away
and while SatsumaIand is very glad to
know other parts of Florida are inter
ested in it-yet this is a gentle re-
minder that the name applies by the
original coiners of the word to that
part of West Florida above described.

Thursday was a great day in PenSa-
cola and one in which the state, of
Florida as a whole may take justifi-
able pride, for when the people of the
state or any considerable section of it
come together, as they did at Cory
Field to commemorate deeds of BRAY
cry and va1or, such as shown by Lieu
tenant Commander VIM. NJ. Cory,
Jr., when he saved his companion flyer
and lost his own life, the event ceases
to be local in character and becomes
a heritage of the whole people. The
story of Lieutenant Commander Cor
rvs death, how, while flying with an
other officer, their plane crashed to
earth and Immediately burst into
flames. and how young Cory landed
safely but realizing that his companion
was pinned under the burning plane he
rushed into the flames and rescued
him, at the cost Of his own life, will
and should be perpetuated in the
hearts of loyal Americans as long as
patriotism lasts. No Drawer act than
this has ever adorned the pages of his
tory And 1t was in CommemOration
of this act of undaunted courage and
noble self-sacrifice that thousands Of
people from over the state of Florida,
II oih nc HOl uoWn 10 the numDl-
est citizen, braved the Indictment
weather Thursday and stood for hours
on the new landing field near Pensa-
cola while fitting tribute was paid
to this young hero, by the people of
the state that has the honor of claim
ing man of his dauntIess character
as one of her own. While the names
of many Of the iuustrious of earth are
commemorated in granite and marble,
the name of Lieutenant Commander
VIM. NJ Cory, Jr., is justly destined
to be perpetuated throughout all time
'in the splendid landing field dedicated
to his memory and for the use of his
companion flyers in this and future
generatiOns.-MiItO Gazette.
