MY BIRTHDAY THOUGHT.
My happr birth-month, July Is,
By which, as from a chryaalis,
I eame from some myetorioes sphere
To leera that Ufe’e reflected here
la somber tone or radiant hue.
As to myself I render true
The fine ideals of heart and mind.
As unto them I am Inclined,
8o will my life be weak or great.
For I am moulder of my “fate”—•
May shape my soul> real destiny.
To be la tune with divinity.

He preached to them nature’s slow.

The kind he’d admire on easels.
But ths poor ehap never knew she

RENAMING
OF JUDGES
OPPOSED
b
Reappointment of McMahon
and Sellers Expected to
Meet Protest
Opposition to the reappointments
of Judge Kathryn Sellers of the
Juvenile Court, and Judge John
P. McMahon, of the Police Court,
whose terms expire September IS,
is expected to be carried to the
White House within a short time.
At the White House today It was
said that President Coolidge shortly
will take under consideration the
question of the reappointments.
Final decision will be made by the
President in ample time before
the present terms expire, it was
sa|d.
So far no complaints against the
reappointments have beeA lodged
with the President.
It was reported today that Sena
tor Ball, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, has a constitu
ent in mind for the post now oc
cupied by Judge Sellers, but so
far as could be ascertained, he
has not pressed the claims of this
candidate at the White House.
Opposition to the reappoinment of
Judge Sellers has been expressed
from several quarters in ths past.
The reappointment of Judge Mc-
Mahon also is expected to be op
posed because of his handling of
prohibition cases. His willingness
to drop cases rather than carry
them over for prosecution upon
the failure of the arresting offi
cers to appear in court has been
criticised repeatedly in the past.
