SUPREME coURT VACANCIES.

The possible retirement of Chief Jus
tice Fuller and Associate Justice Har-
Ian the former a Democratic and the
latter a Republican appointee, before
the expiration of Mr.. Roosevelt's term
Of office may afford the president an
opportunity to fill the places with men
who hold similar views to his own re-
garding the constitutional power of the
government over corporations. It is
well known that the supreme court
raerly hands down a unanimous opin-
ion and the probable course Of a new
man on a given question can be approx
mated by looking up his past record.
OF course there is always the senate
to be reckoned with. Not all appoint
ments to the supreme bench have
proven acceptable to that body, and not
infrequently a president has been COM
PEELED to look further for suitable man
to fill a vacancy in the highest court.
It will be recalled that. a full genera
ton ago, two nominations by President
Grant for chief justice were turned
down by the senate. The first of these
was Attorney General williams, a citi-
zen of Oregon. The refusal of the SEN
ate to confirm this nomination induced
ETeSlOGnI ATIdAL To SCUQ the AdII1G VI q
veteran Democrat Caleb Gushing, of
Massachusetts. TO a Republican senate
to succeed Chief Justice Salmon P.
Chase. But the discovery of a letter
written by Mr.. Gushing in 1851 which,
it was said, savored of disloyalty caused
the withdrawal of his name. The out
come was the nomination and conhrma-
ton of Morrison L Waite.
President Cleveland's first and only
nomination for chief justice to succeed
Chief Justice Waite was confirmed, but
two of President Cleveland's nominal
lions for associate justice failed to sat
isfy the senate. They were members of
the bar of New York But, after two
failures to present an acceptable New
York jurist, Mr.. Cleveland decided to
look elsewhere. and that is why the
country has had the services OF Mr..
Justice White of Louisiana.

THE RaTE BILL.

The senate has finally passed rate
bill which is apparently satisfactory to
both parties, since only three senators,
one Republican and two Democrats, vo-
ted against it. Whether or not it viii
prove satisfactory to the public and
the railroads or either remains to be
seen.
The senate's action does not end the
matter by any means. The measure
must 90 back to the house and may
have to run the gauntlet of a joint
conference COMMITTEES. Should an agree
ment be reached by the two houses,
there is still the veto power to be en-
countered.
Should the bill become a law as it
now stands, it is beyond the power OF
anybody to tell what its effect Will be
until a test case has been passed upon
by the courts.
It is claimed for the bill as passed
that it is much stronger in the matter
of preserving the interest of the public
than when it left the house, where It
ORIGINATED. IF viewed in this light by
the representatives, there seems little
room for doubt that it will be accept
ed and will receive executive approval
II the measure as it stands go upon
the statute book and fail to do what IS
expected of it by the people, it need not
be supposed that the attempt at rail-
road regulation viii be abandoned.
There viii be no hating or turning back
now. President Roosevelt is reported
to have said that the measure is merely
a beginning in a programme of further
legislation of a similar type And it IS
improbable that future legislation along
these lines will be confined to railroads.
It is likely to extend to corporations of
every kind that are operating under
franchises which give them rights and
powers not enjoyed by the individual.
The question of the regulation of cor
porations in general and railroads in
particular is IN politics to stay until it
is settled and settled right. All con-
cerned profess to want nothing but
square deal but only the courts can
finally determine what a square deal

WHArss TIE HURRY

1t has frequently been made plain to
congress that If it do not decide uaon
the type of canal to be built on the
isthmus, that the executive branch Of
the government will build one to suit
itself. Recently Secretary Taft has Civ
en- the legislative branch another prod
by informing It that in the absence of
any law governing the matter he will
buy material and supplies needed in
the canal work wherever he can buy
them the cheapest.
None of these things seems capable
of disturbing the congressional apathy.
The national lawmakers have SO long
been accustomed to letting things drift
and taking their own time about every
thing that thex seem unable to recog-
nize an emergency short of a condition
like that existing at San Francisco
recently. They appear to be unable to
understand q desire upon the part of
a government official to push a piece Of
public work.
Aren't President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Taft drawing their salaries? Why
should they worry or get excited? The
isthmus will remain where it is and the
railroads are amply able to handle the
transcontinentai freight business.

apropos of selfishness:

men IS so great that they say their bad

forget how these habits harm their
families, and young people, and-and

widespread effects that drinking has"

tooth pulled. He lay back in the
red velvet operating chair, a plug was
put between his jaws to hold his mouth
open, gas was administered, there was
a blank-and the man in due course
came to with a tooth missing.
He ran his tongue over the place
where the tooth had been, and a look
of sorrow and anger spread over his
face.
+" Man he said, you've pulled the
wrong tooth "
THE dentist frowned at this.
