The President and Secretary Taft.

The very conviction that Mr.. Roose-
welt would not play politics" in recon
structing the honorable court makes il
difficult TO get clear conception of
his motives in trying to persuade Sec
rotary Taft 10 accept the vacancy soon
TO be created by the retirement of JUS
tice Brown. Certainly it cannot be,
as has been so glibly said, Ito save the
court from mediocrity," for, surely.
there are TO be found on every hand.
on the bench of the district and circuit
courts and elsewhere in public and pri-
vate life, jurists equally as well fitted
for the honor as Judge Taft. He is a
broad gauge, experienced, popular and
exceedingly able man. but it cannot
truly be said that he is a profound
jurist. He would undoubtedly make Il
good supreme court judge-better than
some who now sit in that high court
but he is not the only man available
of whom this can be said.
The woods are full of ripe lawyers,
says the Providence Journal. who
would be glad to round out their ca
reers as a supreme court Justice; bur
it would be hard indeed to find man
who could step into the war depart
ment and take up successfully the
work with which Mr.. Taft has become
so conversant in his two years as sec
retary. preceded by his four years as
commissioner and governor of the Phil
ippines. Therefore. in view of all the
circumstances. the question is very
naturally asked: why does not the
president leave Judge Taft in the war
department until such time as CHIEF
Justice Fuller shall see fit to retire
and then appoint the secretary TO the
vacancy, thus gratifying his original
ambition and agreeably meeting the
demands of the situation?"

Profitable Advertising for March
tells an interesting story of the growth
of the famous summer resort on Santa
Catalina island, off the California
coast. The first recorded owner of the
island. which is eight miles wide and
% miles long, traded it off for saddle
horse. The present owners value it ar
S70,000,00O. By persistent advertising
in the Pacific coast newspapers they
have made it one of the famous places
which every tourist feels bound to
visit, contributing his mite to the
steadily growing riches of its propri-
etors. The development of Santa Cat
alma by publicity is typical of the up
building of hundreds of resorts along
the Atlantic coast The newspapers
practically created them, and the aid
of the newspapers must be enlisted to
maintain their growth

Crisis in the Telephone Situation.

The city council az its meeting last
night. by somewhat unexpected move
precipitated a crisis in the telephone
situation, locally speaking. In other
words. the council, by unanimous vote
ceased sparring and parleying and
brought the matter TO a show down.
Responding to what it construed as
the demand of the Retail Merchants
association. it issued an ultimatum and
all but severed diplomatic communica-
ton. 1t chopped off pending negotia-
tons and ordered the Central Union
company to present an acceptable or
dinance within As hours from date I'M
der penalty of having the police pow
ers of the city invoked I'm the removal
of its poles and wires from the city.
This all means that the Central
Union company must yield on the vital
points of the ordinances under consid-
GRAFTON. primarily the one relating to
the maximum rates, against which ii
has most strenuously contended and
To which it has declared it would never
submit. or there will be something do

Word comes from Lawrence, Kan, to
the effect that Eugene F. Ware, for

appeared before the supreme court of

The case is becoming more and more
complicated. The decisions of two
courts have been carried to higher
tribunals. The decision by Judge Gest
in the Rock Island county district
court has been taken to the appellate
court for a reversal on a writ of error.
There is also bill in the circuit court
of Lawrence asking for new trial.

be against Mrs. Bleakley. Should both

however, she will be at liberty to re-

LAZY PEOPLE FEEL HEAT,

According to Prof Morrison, of the
University of Chicago, summer is
not the logical season for taking va
cations. As shown by the action of
certain animals in alternating, win-
ter is the natural time for rest
ing and recuperating from ones
labors. "The summer heat is
most enervating to the idlers, the
loafers, those who have nothing to
J op their minds and bodies busy.
IS proof Of this, do we not all feel
the heat more acutely on Sunday
than on any other day? A rs de-
gree temperature on Sunday causes
more suffering than one Of SIS de-
grees on Monday. The man or wom-
an who keeps busy on a hot day
would never notice the heat, nine
times out of ten, were it not for the
remarks of others who have nothing
to do but think and talk about the
weather"

FALLAcious FILTER

What can We do in IL. riyate
home to stop ha entrance Of the dis
ease germ, pro,.oed we belieJe dam
ger cxis,s: The sanitary experts
say that no small filter which allows
a good stream Of water to pass re-
moves bacteria. In the sale Of such
filters and the belief in their eff
cheney, says Hollis Godfrey in the
Atlantic, lies peril to the public,
which so often believes that a cou-
pie of inches of sand or charcoal
preserves them from all harm As a
matter OF fact, expert engineers are
practically agreed that IS inches Of
sand above drains, and that well
covered with the sediment filter, are
necessary to obtain efficiency. Some
Of the larger household filters are
efficient when filled with fine filter
ing matters, such as sand stone and
infusorial earth, which only allow
water to pass drop by drop. These
are usually provided with either
storage reservoirs or joined in a Sc
ries of filters so that quantity may
be obtained att once despite the SLOW
rate Of filtration. One simple safe
guard is always at hand, and never
should be forgotten-the boiling o
the drinking water. No precautioI
