The governor has acquired some prestige for the unvarying excellence of his appointments to important positio is, and there can be no suspicion that his usual good judgment has failed him in this instance. As an ethical proposition, it may excite some comment that the gov ernor has chosen for the chief justice ship a man who has progressed but two years beyond the fortieth mile pot, and has had no experience on the bench. It may mean a wiping out of traditions in that respect. It will provide a test as to whether or not advanced age and judicial experienc are really essential to the quick and effective administration of justice Although Mr. Morrissey is beyond the age at which Dr. Osier would have chloroformed him as an incumbrance in the prosecution of life's activities, he is still young enough to show what the infusion of young blood into the supreme court may do toward hasten ing judicial processes. The opportun ity is up to him to demonstrate what virility may do toward speeding up judicial machinery. Among lawyers nobody stands any betto- than Mr. Morrissey, and large profession influence was exerted in his be half by attorneys in every quar ter of the state. This would probably have been of slight consequence, how ever, if the governor had not known the gentleman so well 'and had not enjoyed such superior opportunities to measure his capacity and fitness for the place. It is impossible to con jecture that his associates on the bench can fail to find him companion able, as well as capable, and wholly free from the impulses that friction among the members of such an or ganization as the supreme court too often creates. It is a high honor to accrue to one Toledo has the authority to dictate the fashions. :o: If it were not for Ileal of Custer county there might not be more than a thousand bills introduced in the legislature this winter, but it looks like the gentleman from Custer would have that many himself. :o: If the question as to whether or no Nebraska shall hold a constitutional convention is nut to a vote of the people, it wm be snowed under so deep that it will not be heard of for several years, and maybe more. :o: The members of the legislature who have been so unfortunate as to have their . pictures in the World- Herald shou-ld smack the cartoonist on the jaw the next visit he makes to the capital.
