A SUPREME COURT COMMISSION Tre constitutional amendment’ to increase he members of the Supreme Court by two additioual judges was defeated atthe late election, Bust the fact rematns that the Supreme Court ts away behind with ite docket A case appealed to that court now, uuless mdvanced onthe docket for speclal reasons, can not be reached inside of three years. A poor fellow, mashed up {na railroad wreck, for instance, wetea substantial verdict in the lower courts. He may be tw- capacitated owing to his Injuries from making a living for himself or family, bus he is compelled to wats for three years or more before he knows even if it ls to be remanded ona technicality. This te manifest- ly unfatr to the Mtigant. Since the people refuse by thelr votes to lacrease she court, the next best remedy would be for the legislature to form a Supreme Court commission to belp she court up with its docket. ‘This remedy was tried in this state some twenty years ago and proved every estisfactory, This, In our judgment, should be among the first important acts of the legislature, Provide for & supreme cours commission of at least three members and have the docket cleared up and give the court, now composed of seven members @ chance bo catch up with the work, sihiniahiiiadiiiaaieiiie Churles Nagel for Secretary of the fneertor and Frederick N. Judson for Justice of the Supreme Court, both yuls, wre sald to be slated as Tals appointees. There will be two vacancies on the supreme bench, Chief Justice Puller and Justice Har- lin will retire. Fuller is & democrat und was appointed by Mr. Cleveland The court now stands six republi cans and three democrats. Iv ts thought that the president will ap- pointa Democrat to fill one of the vacancies. If Mr, Taft makes @ pre- sense of appointing a Democrat, one of the Judson stripe will not satiety shat party. Now if a Democrat Is tu be appointed, what {s the matter: with the congressman from the 6th districts. No one could find fault) with Mr. DeArmond’s brand of Dem- ocracy. He 1s an able lawyer, was & Supreme Court Commisstoner and Cireult Judge for six years. He tsa strong personal friend of the Presi- dent-elect. If a Missourl Democrat {s to be appointed to a Supreme Justiceship, Judge DeArmond will, in our opinion, have a good show. ee There will unquestionably be an elfortin the next general assembly so have @ resolution adopted sub- misting & prohibition constitutional amendment to the voters of Missou- ri, Senator J. W. Peck, of Atchison county, @ Republican, declares his intention of introducing such a reso- lution in the senate at the first op- portunity. Senator Peck threatens that it the legislature refuses to sub- mit the question to the voters that it will be tried through the Initiative | and referendum, which was adopted at the last election We have an idea that the Republican majority in the house will find a way to sidestep this political breaker and put {¢ up to the people, to use this new power, but recently placed in their hands.

Wiseman, ina way, was something of a gadfly, but showed too much venom even for that pestiverous in- sect, which bores under the hide of aolmals for sustenance, without malicious intent to dotnjury.
