tator

tor, Lewis A. Copeland, is living and has
two children
BY the provisions OF the will Mr.. olney
was TO pay over the income OF the estate
In such way and manner as he in his dis,
cretlon should consider expedient and nee
essary TO aid in providing for the support
and maintenance Of themselves and their
families. respectively.
IL was further provided in the will that
In the event that before the expiration
Of the term OF said trust either Of nv said
sons shall decease, leaving lawful issue
living. said trustee shall In his discretion
expend or appropriate for his or her use
ana benefit such sum or sums at such
times and places and in such manner as
he shall consider expedient and necessary
for his support or her support and main
tenance during the remainder OF the term
of said trust"
The court was asked to pass upon five
questions. First and most Important was
this; Has said child, May Frances Cope
land, any legal rights in said estate under
said Will OF the said George RI. Copeland?"
To this the court say this case is governed
by Hartwell VS.. Tefft 10 r. l. GA and
that Mary Frances Copeland, as the
adopted child OF Frederick A. Copeland,
takes the same interest under said will
that she would IL she were the child OF

AS II is not known who will be alive

The trustee Is found by the court to be
justified by the court In contributing such
sums as he sees At for the adopted child,
as the discretionary powers given him are
very broad, he being really placed by the
testator in place OF the parent.

Jority of states-rights' men. That questlon, by reason of the reversal made by the court ten years ago, has become political rather than Judicial, and the President sees no reason why ne should not permit political consid- eration to weigh with him in the se- lection of a successor to Justice Brown.
 Assuming that Justices Peckham and Holmes were influenced by beliefs that would also control them in the event of another income-tax law coming before tho court, the result Is an equal divs- Ion Of the august tribunal on such an important question.
 It Is. therefore, of the utmost im- portance to the President that in se- lecting men to fill the vacancy cre- ated by Browns retirement, he mako sure that the laws he proposes to per- suade Congress to place on the statute books shall go before a court. ma jority of the members of which are not bound by beliefs that would make 1t for the proposed statutes to survive the scrutiny of the court.

She would have pointed out to him the 3esrada- begging for money. She would have made him feel that no proper self re- specting love could exist under these humiliating conditions, and she would have urged him to trust her and to instr uct her ignorance as regarded business matters in order to make her fit guardian for her children in the event Of his death--if for no other req son.
 Last and not least, she would have given her word to stay within her al- lowance and to fulhll her part of the contract by keeping all bills paid up to date.
 There does not exist . man of ordi- nary good qualities who could resist such an appeal. He would take a strong interest in sfosterins his wife's shrewdness and business intact. He would gradually place more and more confidencs in her and even discuss his own work with her occasionally. She certainly would never have to com plain of being treated like a child or an incompetent person if she showed thisvsort of fair businesslike spirit at the very beginning of her married life.
