JUDGE KENNETH MACKINTOSH of the Washington State Supreme Court is a jurist who 
honors the position he fills, and one of the ablest lawyers in the country.  
Judge Mackintosh was born in Seattle in 1875.  He received his educational 
training at Stanford University and Columbia Law School, and was admitted to 
practice following his graduation.  In 1905 Judge Mackintosh became 
Prosecuting Attorney of King county, in which capacity he served two full 
terms, establishing a magnificent record.  Then, in 1912, he was elected to 
the King County Superior bench.  In that capacity he quickly demonstrated 
ideal qualifications for the judiciary, and members of the bar were not slow 
in seeing that in this brilliant young jurist was good timber for the supreme 
bench.  It is in the latter capacity that he is now serving, perhaps the 
youngest member of that body.  Some of the most important opinions handed down 
by that court were written by Judge Macintosh.  The great care and caution he 
exercises in the preparation of a decision is well known throughout the state 
and I am safe in saying that no man on the supreme bench works harder and more 
diligently than he.  The members of the bar, taken as a whole, not only admire 
and respect this able jurist, but they love him for his many admirable traits 
of character.  A man of striking personality, possess of marked magnetism, and 
a close student of human nature, Judge Mackintosh has attained a success that 
comes to only a few.  In 1908 Judge Mackintosh married Miss Francisca Argues, 
and the couple have one child.  Judge Mackintosh belongs to the Rainier club, 
College club, Seattle Golf and Country clubs, and the county, state and 
national bar associations.
