Three years later he was made president of the com mission, and only laid down that work when he was made civil governor of the islands in 1904.

For instance, he believes in a non-partisan police force for Cinefunati, He believes in never making a promise which he does not expect to fulfill. He believes in saying nothing rather than telling an un truth. He believes in acccrding absolutely fair treatment to even his most .bitter enemy and in an open fight. . MAY RUN FOR PRESIDENCY Judge Samuel R. Artman of Indiana, who is being urged as the logical Prohibition candidate for president by a number of the leade rs of that party, is the Republican circuit judge who set his judicial brethren guessing by his decision 1oOTrmai ly rendered in ending an injunction suit in his court, that the saloon is in and of itself unconsti tutional. He declared, therefore, that no legal! state liquor license law could be passed by any legislature, since no such body could license the doing of an act in violation of the constitution. Judge Artman has always been a Republicar in politics and was speaker of the Indiana house of representatives in the state législature of 1901 In 1904 he was elected judge of the Boone count) circuit court. His license decision was decidedly unpopular among Many classes, as it made three whole counties of the state go practically dry, and set brewers and distillers by the ears. Nevertheless, he was re-elected at the succeeding election walk, walker or walking. FRIEND OF CLEVELAND E.

That the saloon will soon disappear as an American institution, and that it will be wiped out by the voluntary act of the people, probably by one of the old political parties, has been the belief of Judge Artman for a number of years. He thinks that the great majority of the people only want a reasonable excuse to do away with the liquor traffic, and he is fond of arguing that neither courts nor parties are really necessary for such action, but only the stiffening of public opinion without the attendant bitterness that has heretofore marked the most of the anti-liquor movement, It is declared by Prohibition leaders who are acquainted personally with the Indiana judge that he will accept the presidential nomination at the hands of the Prohibitionists if it is offered him, although he will probably reser the right to vote any ticket he pleases in state and local elections | | | most | Victoria, B.
