phia and Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany show a loss Of $2,OGO, ,sT9, having

English Tea and Toast.

To THk EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Sb, Tea and
toast Is not a social fetish In England neither
docs II constitute q meal.
For a great many years the custom has prevailed
in Great Britain OF taking a cup Of tea imme-
diatcly on rising in the morning. and afternoon tea
Ia likewise universal. but It has long since been
recognized that drinking tea without any food
whatever Is more harmful than beneficial. and
taken alone the beverages irue virtue Of stimu-
latlng eject Is lost. Consequently. q dainty slice
OF round OF toast IL used as a relish. In no way rob-
bing the appetite for breakfast or dinner.
As for the bread IN England being dark, heavy.
tough and sour" opinions may differ, but allow me
10 say that after eighteen years living In all parts
OF America I prefer the bread az made In England
70 the soft. spOnEy. pulled and indigestble bread
used here.
Your correspondent. Mr.. Watson, who brings this
question up. should fail Ia Line and acquire the
delightful English habit Of tea and toast.

An imperative Duty.

The terms Of the ten Justices Of the
Supreme Court who are to be elected in
this city to-day will not expire until
January 1, 1921. In the long period in
tervening thirteen Legislatures, seven
Governors of the State and four Presi-
dents of the United States will be elected.
In salaries these Supreme Court Justices
will draw 81 500, 900, and it is estimated
that their patronage during the fourteen
years will amount to s25 900 900; but,
impressive as these figures are, the i'm
portant thing TO the average citizen is
that the new Judges may sit in cases
involving his business interests and
perhaps his fortune, and in the event Of
the election of the candidates on the
Murphy Hearst ticket the opposing liti-
CANT may be able TO invoke the UNDER
ground influence of Tammany Hall or
that Of the party of the second part to
the unholy compact.
Governors will come and Governors
will 90 and Legislatures will pass laws
for good or i'll and adjourn. but these ten
Judges will hold the scales for fourteen
long years, and upon their character,
associations and knowledge of the law
will depend the quality of justice they
shall dispense. The voter cannot know
too much about the candidates upon the
various judiciary tickets for whom he is
asked to vote to-day. Those of the
Judiciary Nominators, who represent the
bar OF New York, have been under in
spection for four months and their pro-
fessional careers have borne the most
jealous scrutiny. Further than that, the
manner of their nominations was above

Of the bargain between CHARLES +. MUIR
PLY and WILLIAM r. HEARST have been
before the public less than one month-to
be exact, twenty-six days; the other can-

was already on the ticket Of the Judiciary
Nominators. In professional merit the
associates of Justice GIEGERICH suffer
by comparison with the Judiciary Nomi-

equal ability the manner of their selec-

Every citizen with whom it is an article
of faith that the bench must be divorced
from politics and who understands the
true inwardness and sinister meaning of
the deal between HEARST and MURPHY
will stultify himself if he votes for their
candidates. IL is his urgent and peremp-
tory duty to make no mistake in marking
his ballot for judicial candidates to-day.
