A NEW SUPREME JUSTICE
John Hessin Clarke, of Cleveland,
federal judge of the northernl dls
trict cf Ohio la the sixth Unite*.
States clrcui', is very little known
outside of the state where be re
tides, of which he is a native sod.
He was for years an attorney to:
the Nickel Plate railroad and wa
highly regarded by his employer
for his efforts iu their behalf dui
liig a long term of years.
When he was a Democratic candi
date for the United; States senati
In 19i»3 he advocated a 2-cent rail
road passenger Tate law, based on
tha» which then prevailed in Nev
York state..
H!3 candidacy for the senate was
in the nature of an honorable men
tit n conferred upo®'him by the
Demc cratio leaders of Ohio) and
nothing more ,and was po under
stood bv Mr. Clarke hmlself, for
liis opponent was Mark Hanna, and
there w!'« as small a chance of de
feating him a? there ever was of
the Republicans carrying Texas la
a presidential election.
Judge Clarke was elevated to his
present position ou tue federal
bench by President; Wilson in July, j
1914. He was endorsed by the Ohiuj
Democracy and confirmed) within
five da>s ot his appointment.
His appointment to, succeed
Hughes ou the supreme beuehi is
unquestionably* due to Secretary ot j
War Baker, of whom he is a per
sonal friend, «uid it may strongly bo
suspecti d that is made iu the hope
of s'r.-ugtheuing Democratic chance
of succcbs in Ohio tais fall, which
state the Democrats persist iu con
sidering debatable ground. — Tele

ltKAJL PRliPAlCEDNESS
"Aliliiary preparedness wins the!
Caule, but Industrial' greyareduess j
wins the war,' aaya a reoaiit issue
ot a bulletin issued by tu« com
mittee if industrial preparedness/ 01
tue naval consulting board of the
united States.
This statement Is made in the
Dclief 'hat the United States, in
dustrially, la the world's most
powerful nation. 'thirty; thous
and engineers and chemists of tne
United States, meinbeia of scien
tific oodies, have for months
been nianiug a minute and sweep
ing survey oX the industrial re
sources of America. Tuey have
formed as a patriotic move, a great
Mexible organization unlike any in
• be world, establishing! tue basis
for creating a true line of de
fense iu time of war. It is Bhown
that in this country we are pre
pared to make iu abundance every
thing required to carry on a sus
tained and succ?Bsful warfare.
While the United; States would
unquestionably ent^r into war woe
fully urprepared from a strict mili
tary standpoint, her industrial pre
paredness is without equal ou the
face of the earth. TQis, coupled
with the nation's unbcuuud. d wealth
makes a combination before which
the most powerful military fore «
mus' sooner or later fall.
THANKS DUE COL. KlCHARDSOJi
The best thanks are due by all
Alaska tfi Colonel Richardson,' for
ttu. successful fight he has made to
secirre a half million dollars for
the; waeon roads this year.. The
chairman of the road commission
wenr to work early on this and has
fought hard all the years while
in Washington. It seemed that
the flg^t could never be) successful
bu> the doughty Colonel must have
lit«n able to put up. a strong! offen
sive or else he had the standing
and pull as well as theabillty. We
here in Seward have overlooked
•his wagon appropriation to some
extent because we had our thoughts
concentrated on the railroad' mon
ies. We have hardly yet realized
'be fact that this appropriation of
half a million for roads is an im
mense one and about four times
greater thani anyone expected. It
neans the construction of many
aew roads and the opening of many
new roa'ls and the opening of many
districts. Well done. Colonel. —
Seward Post..
l ONDITIOXS IMPROVING
Conditions as they arei develop
ing in the general situation are
gradually making for optimism rati>
er than pessimism. Thus the fa
vorable turn in Mexican' affairs and
the continued success of the Allies
in Euro© are most promising) fea
tures.
General trade Is holding its own.
This is shown by the better com
UH-rcjal demand for money. If we
are losin? some of our foreign trada
we aTe gaining in domestic busi
ness. Our enormous prosperity is
beginning to tell. Our consumptive
power Is larger and peoplei show
more confidence t eapand. It is
believed that the current period of
inflation will expand rather than
contract before any reaction due to
peace in Europe becom-esi operative.
THOl'GHT FOR THE DAY
Tbe hours will come, and! come
t> every man, when; task-work quiv
ers and palpitates with' life; but
perhaps they onlv come because we
nave been, faithful, with) a certain
grimness, through the daysi of
jloom. Let a mani hold to hisi life
work through mood and melancholy
Let him hold to It through hea<\f
uht an<* through' heartache. For
'He 'hat observeth| the wind will
never sow; and he that regardeth
the clouds will never reap."—G. H.

Dinner

Story of & Marriage"
Anniversary.
— Aj;
By CLARISSA MACK1E
The day Silas Diagee married Sfiaud
Ball he declared that never beforevhud
he known real happiness. He swore
that the anniversary of that blessed
lay which ended his bachelor loneli
ness would be more to him than all
the holidays in the calendar together.
A. cynical friend at Ills farewell bach
elor dinner the night before had said
to him:
"SI, I'm sorry for you. Tomorrow
you go to serve your life long term
)t regulation. Farewell Independence.
Farewell a Jolly night at the club.
Farewell cocktails; they'll taint your
breath. Farewell cigars: they'll make
the curtains smell. Goodby, Si The
matrimonial prison doors will soon
;lose behind you."
"You dried up old bach," was Dto
[pee's reply, "tomorrow will be the hap
piest day of my life. And let me tell
you whenever the anniversary of m.v
wedding comes round I'll have some
delicate memento for the dear girl who
Is to furnish that happluess. 1 shall
on that day remain at home from busi
ness and devote It to celebrating my
escape from such crusty old bachelor
hood as you represent."
When Mr. and Mrs. Din gee were
driven away after the wedding fes
tivities, followed by showers of rice
and old shoes. It looked as if his prom
ises would be kept. If ever there was
a happy man it was Silas Dingee.
One year passed. Mr. Dingee had
been made over by his wife from a
bachelor to a married man. He had
learned to live for some one besides
himself. The first anniversary of his
wedding had come round, the day that
he had vowed he would celebrate above
all others.
As Silas Dingee shrugged on his over
coat that morning preparatory to mak
lng a dash for the nearest subway sta
tlon his pretty wife spoke from the
dining room door.
"If I'm not at home when you coine.
dear"—
rupted Dlngee peevishly.
"Just to Mrs. Wright's for bridge,
honey," she soothed him. "If I'm not
here the moment yon arrive Just get
a bite to eat from the refrigerator and
read your pa[>er until I come. It won't
take me fifteen minutes to get dinner
after I arrive—steak and mushrooms.
Silas—It's Hilda's afternoon out"
"Seems to be always Hilda's after
noon out and yours, too." grumbled
Dlngee as he kissed his wife farewell
and departed
As he opened his newspaper on the
train he was still ttiinklng of his dis
like of being alone. It was one of his
peculiarities that he was a restless
mortal Indeed when Maud was away
from the apartmeut Maud was an
Inveterate card player and belonged
to two bridge clubs and a band of
pinochle enthusiasts. On the evenings
when he knew Maud would be late in
coming home Mr. Dltgee usually went
from his office to his club and remain
ed there until his wife's fruntlc tele
phone messages assured him that she
was home and that dinner was waiting.
On such occasions he usually called
a taxi and sped home on the wings of
love and rubber tired wheels.
Today everything went wrong. In
the mail he found several misdirected
letters, which had been returned to
him. Oue of them was an Important
matter, which Involved the loss of con
siderable money.
So he discharged the careless stenog
rapher. scolded his chief clerk, scared
the office boy Into a state of humility
and lurched at his club.
After luncheon things went better.
He telephoned to Chicago and found
that he wouldn't lose the money after
alL When the tearful stenographer
came for her money he gave her anoth
er trial, and the office boy was em
boldened to ask for a raise in his pay.
Whether he received It or not Is not
part of this tale, but at 4:30. when
Mr. Dlngee closed his desk, he was
feeling In high good humor with him
self and the world.
He had quite forgotten all about the
lonely apartment he must return to
and stopped to buy some violets for
Maud. While he stood there who
should rush up to him With heart}
greeting but Tom Finch. Maud's Bos
ton cousin and a particular chum of
Silas Dingee's.
"Just going up to your place." re
marked Tom.
"Mighty glad to see you!" cried Dln
gee heartily. "Maud's out this after
noon at some whist bat or other, but
she'll be home by 0:30. We can have
a bite to eat as soon as we get there."
"Good! I'm hungry. Had a little ac
cident coming down. The buffet car
and one coach derailed. Nobody hurt
Haven't had a bite since 10 this morn
ing."
"Man alive, hurry!" Dlngee bustled
Tom Into a taxi, and they whirled up
town.
"It's 0 now. Ma nd will be home in
a few minutes." said Dlngee as he
opened the door with his latchkey.
But the rooms were dark until he
switched on the lights and revealed
the warm coziness of the place.
"We'll have to forage a bit." said
Dlngee as they left hats and overcoats
In the hall and entered the dining
