The SUPREME COURT VACANCY
The papers of Wednesday had an item
TO the effect that Mr.. George V. Mas
sey had been appointed to the vacancy
on the bench of the United States
supreme Court made by the death of
Mr.. Justice Bradley. An Associated
Fress report from Washington, even
reached the point of speaking of
Judge" Massey, while at the same
time saying the reports could not be
confirmed there.
Mr.. Massey is expected to return
from the West during this week. His
name has been before the President for
some weeks as that of man who was
believed by his friends to be in every |
way worthy of judicial honors, and |
capable of eminent judicial service. |
Mr.. Massey himself, so far as we know,
has never spoken about the matter,
except to thank one or two of his |
friends for their partiality.
Why isit, that of the hundreds of |
thousands of foreigners who land in |
New York annually, so very few
come to Delaware and the Eastern
Shore of Maryland? Excluding Will
mIngtOn there are but 3095 citizens
of foreign birth on the Peninsula, out
OF total population, exclusive of Will
mingtOn, of 1928, ,749. We venture to
express the opinion that there are few
or no localities north of Virginia, that
have smaller ratio of foreign citizens.
1t Is true, viewed in one light, this is
rather blessing than otherwise. for
there can be no doubt that the less we
have of the foreign element which
hocks to the cities, the better we shall
be. But we have in mind foreigners
of agricultural tendencies; the sturdy,
reliable bone and sinew of the old
countries, who come here to earn an
honest and Independent living bv the
sweat of their brOw.-SundaV Star.

How THEY VOTED.-The Minneap. -
Ills correspondent of the PHILADELPHIA u
Press had the following: O
Senator Higgins, of Delaware, who q

minneapolis, was an active anti-Harri- Il
on man. He says he regrets the con- n
'entien's action, but thinks the presi-
lent will make good candidate. n
regard President Harrison" he O
aid, "as the first statesman of the dav.
'ut he is no politician" p
A prominent gentleman who over -
leard the remark, said "That is lust -;
he case, and it is because President -
harrison has not proved to be a poll D.
lclan and has failed in many instances NJ

we're not reasonable that they sought IL
