Bryan and the
Supreme Court
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
majority Of the Federal Supreme court Is
appointed every eight years. Every president in
his term appoints enough members to change its
balance on closely contested questions. The
Supreme court Is no fixed fact. People who de-
lude themselves that the Supreme court can pre-.
vent Mr. Bryan from going very far or very
fast iE the wrcng direction are crasSly ignorant
OF the rapllity with which this court changes
man never in these days reaches the Supreme
court Until he is over 30 years of agc, and the
gaps by death and retirement in n group Of
nine men between 80 and 20 years Of age, all
ovCrworked, are certain by the mere expectation
OF life &c amount to two or three every ioul
years and to four or five in every eight years.

| The three presidents who have had two terms
have had. as will he seem four or nvc ar-
| pointmcnts- The chances are that president
will have three appointments This is natural,
| when you take the ages of the justices on this
bench. In 1901 the court will have in the nine
judges on the bench the following ages:

dent the new justices will be Bryan men. They

that grccnbacks issued in peace are good legal

| In our system the Federal Supreme court an
swers TO any great political change as much as
any department Of the government. The house
Of representatives changes in two years. The
presidency changes In four years. From four
to six years make over the senate. From eight
to twelve years make over the Supreme court.
Four years change 1t on questions wher1 it is
closely divided. Ii Mr.. Bryan is elected next
November the Supreme court will show the
sure effect OF this change. 1t is a FOOLS para
disc TO imagine this court is free from the cf'
feet Of popular changes In due time it must
respond to them, and the election Of Mr.. Bryan
will put two, perhaps three, believers in Bryan
law on the bench of the Supreme court. Do
YOU want Bryan law the Federal Supreme
court?

A UNIQUE STATE.

Texas Has Paid Allegiance to the
Flags of Six Nations.
Scarcely another state in the union
has as remarkable and interesting a
history as Texas In one respect at
least it occupies unique position in
the history of American states. Since
its discovery six different governments
have ut different times claimed its al.
legiance, and as many different flags
have waved over it, those of France
Spain, Mexico, independent Texas, the
United States and the Confederate,
states.
The foundations of Texas statehood
were not laid as British colony, nor
under the grant or control of the Brit
ish crown, as We're those Of the original
thirteen states. Its first settlement
dates back more than 300 years, and its
first American colonists went there
under terms and conditions imposed
by foreign state, to whose language,
laws and Institutions they were total
strangers. There never was, there
never could be, any sympathy between
these first American colonists and the
Mexican government under the old
regime. Separated by vast wilder
nesses from the people of the United
States. and unaided save by the in
dividual efforts of sympathizing breth-
rem therein, these colonists declared
their independence, established it with
the sword, and for nine years main
tanned stable republic
Texas was neither purchased nor
conquered for the union. Annexation
to the United States was accomplished
through a treaty made by Texas repre-
sentatives and ratified by the free
suffrage of the citizens. No other
state in the Union has had such varied
experience or sailed through such
stormy seas into the haven of peace
and prosperity.-St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat.

Curious Man Wants Co Know About

"What's thaty" asked the young man
with the phenomenally short coat.
why. the way these fellows that
write jokes for newspapers get things
tangled up" replied the first seaker.
'How is that?" asked the long leg
ged young man.
''Why, look here" continued the man
with the bad cigar warmly. Did you
ever read a Dutch joke in the papers
where two Germans are supposed to be
talking to each other?'
'.Sure l did" said the tall young
man, yawning languidly.
"NYell. did you ever notice that every
time the guy that wrote the joke has
them jabberins at each other in bro
ken English? What do you think Of
this" He picked up the paper again
and after hunting a few moments read
as follows:
"Leberwurst-Heinrich, w iss it ven
you book beer drink yet that you want
to yump alretty?
"Schwarzhoppen-M Maybe it iss vonce
because die beer is NIT hops filed up.
No?
Now, that's good thing, isn't it?"
went on the man with the bad cigar.
"If those two Germans wanted to talk
to each other, do you suppose they
would amble around in broken Eng
fish? No; they would spiel it out in
German that they both understand.
Suppose you and We're in Germany
for visit and wanted to tell you
about some sight had seen, would
try to tell you in bum German that
neither Of US could speak or would
talk English? They make me tired"
''But that would spoil the joke" pro-
tested the tall young man.
"Huhv' snorted the other. "Some
things are too bad to spoil.'

closed.-Chicago Chronicle.
