Are Republicans Packing
The Supreme Court?

Since the announcement was made
that Justice Brown would retire from
the United States Supreme Court
bench rumOr has been busy regarding
his possible successor, the general
opinion being that Secretary Of War
Taft would be given the place if he
desired it. The impression is rapidly
gaining ground that politics will be
at the bottom Of the selection, and
that the successor Of Justice Brown
will be a republican goes almost with
out saying.
The Birmingham Age-Herald init
mates that a scheme is afioat to
pack the Supreme Court, and the
argument II advances would seem to
indicate that there is something do
ing" along that line. The Age-HeraId
has the following to say upon the sub
ject:
The retirement Of Justice Brown
brings before the President the uues-
ton Of succession. and the air is full
OF rumOrs. One rumOr runs to the eff
feet that Judge Gray Of Delaware will
be nominated, but a republican paper
says this would not do" because the
democrats would then have a majority
Of the court. There are but three
democrats in that court-Fuller. Peck
ham and White-bUt the republicans
may consider Justice Harlan, who is a
friend Of the masses as against the.
classes, democrat Counting in that
way the democrats would. in case of.
Judge Gray's appointment, have five
out OF the nine members Of the court.
1t is believed, however, that the pres
ioent will appoint no one who is hos
tile to the imperialist theory of the
power Of congress over our island DOS
sessiOns-Our colonies, in other words.
He appointed Justices Day and Holmes
and both are considered imperialists.
III 10 the two is TO be added a third
man, the great court begins TO have an
mperialistic tinge 10 say the least.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Har-
Ian are also eligible TO retirement.
Both are over 20 years old. If the
president should gain opportunities in
the course Of three years TO iii their
seats the court would be packed in
the interest Of imperialism. The retir-
Ing Judge Brown is an imperialist.
and the appointment of another i'm
perialist In his place viii not there

the court.

A Word to the
Electric Light Company,

While the moving spirits Of the Is
Gambia Electric Light and Power Co.
are in the city, considering, as we
understand, a proposition to extend the
electric light and power service, The
Journal would ike to impress on them
the importance Of immediate action
The presence service is entirely in
adequate 10 supply the demand, to say
nothing OF what many consider the ex-
cessive cost of electric lighting. No
special. effort is being made to extend
the service, but on the contrary many
people who want electric light connec-
ton cannot get il and there is appar-
antly no prospect Of their getting it
until the company puts in a plant that
can handle the business Of the city.
There is a very general feeling
abroad that the city should own its
own eectric lighting plant. That be-
ing the case, the private company
which owns the present plant from
which the city is supplied, will do well
to take time by the forelOck and give
the public a satisfactory service now.
The longer the present unsatisfactory
condition continues, the more likely
the city viii be at any time to put in
plant Of its own.
With proper equipment and manage.
ment the electric. lighting company
could do twice and probably three
times the business It is now doing.
The Journal hopes the members Of
the company will look at the matter in
the same light and give Pensacola the
service which the city wants and
ought to have.

A Disregard of Law.

The United States Court has declar-
ed that the acts Of the Drainage Com.
mission, which commission was Great
ed by an act of 1905, are void Yet.
Notwithstanding this decision of the
court the county commissioners of
Dade county are going right ahead as
though nothing had happened collect
ing this tax from the poor and ignor-
ant who do not know any better than
to pay it.
Gov. Broward, too, who should set
the people an example of quiet obedi-
ence to law is going right ahead
spending the peoples money, on his
drainage schemes, in utter disregard
Of law and the decision of the court.
A poor devil of an editor down in
Tampa a few days ago was fined one
hundred dollars for a very mild COM
ment on a case taken under advise
ment by the court. Had he disregard
ed the decision Of the court like tho
Dade county commissioners and Gov
Broward are doing we suppose that
he would have been hanged.-Jasper

Burning Over
Grazing Lands.

A recent issue of The New Yorl;
Commercial contained the following
paragraph:
Florida forests are unfortunately ex-
posed to great danger from fire. In
this they are like the southern forests
in general, but the practice of burning
the ground over to improve grazing is
firmly established, and wherever this is
the case the forest is especially threat
ened. Much difficulty will doubtless
be met with in the effort to change
the custom. Some of the oldest set
tiers throughout the south, however.
are now beginning to recognize that
burning does not improve grazing in
the long run, because it kills out the
more valuable grasses. They admit
that the forage crop on the open for
est stands of the region has been
steadily deteriOrating during the past
40 years as a result Of these injurious
fires.
The editor Of The Commercial has
evidently been misinformed.
In past years the custom of burning
over grazing lands was practised ex-
in the state of Florida and
resulted in the destruction of much
valuable timber, but legislation has
since been enacted prohibiting the
practice and providing heavy penalties
for violation of the provisions of the
law. The law is being generally OBJ
served, as far as can be ascertained.

Dogs or Sheep?
John Schmidt, Egypt. Miss.

| believe a dog tax is as i'm
portant for the state and land
owner as the eradication of the
tick. AS it seems to me, about
one-fifth or one.fourth of all tilla-
BILE land, or land that has been
cultivated in crops, is lying idle
for some reason: and should be
fenced and have stock put on it.
Sheep make money the quickest
and TO the highest degree, and it
takes little money to get a flock.
But they should be protected
against the dog.
When VIC have a dog tax law
passed. let it be a good n and
not as in Illinois and some other
states. Let there be no getting
around the dog tax. You have
no idea how much this will de-
velop the sheep industry. Land
will be built up and bring large
income to the farmer, either
through wool OF mutton. This
income will be during a time Of
year, mostly winter and spring,
when the farmer has nothing
else TO sell: a time when he
would otherwise have to 90 to
banks or money loancrs for help
until his fall crops come in.
Through a dog tax aud sheep
Rising the farmer could help
himself. Without the dog tax
he must depend on others to
help him out.
