A dispatch from Washington announces that
President Taft has appointed Clinton Howard of
Bellingham as federal judge to take the place of 0.
H. Hanford.
Howard is a stand-pat corporation lawyer of the
old school. He was formerly president of the State
Bar association and at the meeting in Spokane last
year got a hand from the corporation bosses by a
bitter attack on the initiative, referendum, recall,
and in fact everything else that might be used to
give to the people their right of self government.
The appointment of Howard indicates that Taft
is going to go the limit and continue to the end to
stock up the courts of the land with reactionary, cor
poration lawyers opposed to rule by the people, who
will be there for life.
