Illustrious Shoemakers

Germany's now famous captain of Kopeniek comes of calling which has given the world some very great men. One authority asserts that the majority of eobblers have exceptional brains that their attitude when stepping over their work tends to eranial development in the part where the intellectual facul- ties are seated. Someone has written a book on illustrious shOemakers. In it are Sir Cloudesley Shovel, Clifford the Terrible, Bloomfield, author of the well known Farmers Boy" Carey, the Orientalist; Admiral Myngs, George Fox, founder of the society of Friends John Kitto, the Biblical scholar; Sur geon, the electrician. The list of illus trious shoemakers runs into scOres.- Chicago News.

JUDGES NOT SUPREME
Common People Are Inclined to Rate
 the Executive Higher

The sooner our judges and lawyers get rid of the notion that they possess despotic authority over the coordinate departments of the government the bet ter it will be for the public welfare. The supreme law of this nation is the many-headed Demos, the vulgar herd, the common people, and the department of government which they find most use ful to them and which they are inclined to hold in highest respect at present is the executive.
 "Great, wise and good judges" are no more essential to the country than great, wise and good congressrhen, and not half so important to the nation in mass as a great, wise and good presi- dent. We must have good judges; that is a matter of course; but We must also have good men in other public offices. Good judges alone will not keep the na- tion from ruin. The fact of the oase is that if we could get laws made which were perfectly adapted to the public needs, they would be in great degree self finterpreting and self-executing. The need for those dangerous "unwrittec principles " which Judge Brown talks of will tend to disappear and the work of courts and lawyers will be reduced to a minimum when the business of government is placed where it belongs, directly in the hands of the people, Portland Oregonian.

REFORMS IN THE STATES

The messages of the governors of va rious states reveal very clearly the gen erai demand for reforms, especially in dealing with corporations, says the Washington Post. The dissatisfaction with existing conditions is pronounced, and numerous remedies are suggested by the executives of the states The most eursory glance at these messages tends to support Secretary Roots suggestion that the states have been negleeting the exercise of their powers Either this conclusion must be reached or it must be admitted that the states have been unable to cope with the evils that have grown up. Is it neglect or incompetence that afhicts so many of the states? It would be highly ungracious to suggest that anything but integrity has ruled the action of the state governments. But this integrity appears to have been weak, either in vigilance or resolution
 Governor Folk of Missouri makes so many recommendations that, if laws were to be enacted accordingly it might be said that the state would profit by burning its existing statute books and printing new ones. He advocates re- forms in the insurance laws, the punish ment of lobbying, and makes recOmmen- dations as to child labor, bucket shops, betting on horse races, regulation of cor. porations, railroad fares, taxation of corporations, income tax, anti-bribery laws, public utilities, amendment of the

'Possum Nearly Kills Cow

Leo Crow, Harry La Koch, Nick Wag- ner and Will Phillips, we'll known young men, were on the hills back of the city when they saw large opossum vicious ly attacking a COW.
 The animal was jumping viciously at the COW, biting it about the nose and throat, from which blood was streaming freely. The COW was helpless to defend itself from the attacks of the opossum, which would have killed it had it not been disturbed. It was so engrossed in its fight that it did not notice the ap- proach of the trio. They rushed in, killed it, and brought the body to town, where it was weighed, tipping the beam at ten and one-half pounds.-Bellaire, Ohio, dispatch to the Cincinnati En- quirer.

federal constitution, and few other things
 Governor Guild of Massachusetts at tacks railroad consolidation, bucket shops, divorce laws, etc., and recon mends an inheritance tax. Governor Floyd of New Hampshire asks that rail road passes be abolished, Governor Warner of Michigan deals with pure food, railroad fares, prlson regulations, lobbying, banking and insurance. Gov ernor sheldon of Nebraska asks that legislation regarding corporations be en- acted in accordance with ante-election pledges. Governor Higgins of Rhode Island asks for legislation forbidding campaign contributions by state or mu nicipal employees recommends that stricter identification be required of per sons applying for marriage licenses, sug- gests that state officials be prohibited from becoming interested in public works, points out that members of fra ternal benef, associations should be pro- tected by law, and asks that the gov ernor be given the veto power, Gov ernor Mel onald of Colorado asks for antitrust legislation on the lines of the Ohio law, and adds: 'Our president has done much in behalf of antitrust legislation, and we should sustain him in his work
 There is very little in the messages of the governors that furnishes food for congress. The national government is abreast of most of the states in work ing out reforms, if not ahead of them. Instead of receiving support from the states in antitrust and kindred legisla. tion, the national government is in position to point the way in which the states could travel with advantage

AWFUL TYPHOID EPIDEMIC

The present epidemic of typhoid fever at Scranton, Pa, is causing widespread interest throughout the country on ae- count of the hundreds of cases and the many deaths which have already oc- cured.
 It was not until typhoid had been epi- demic in Scranton for nearly month that any real effort was made to ascsr- tain the source of the infection, and even then the work was done, not by the local authorities, but by the state board of health.
 Of course, the water supply was sus Pected from the beginning, but as it was the property of private corpora tion with much local power, there seems to have been some timidity or delicaey about fixing the responsibility with psinful defniteness, particularly as the company had warned people to be care fnl how they made charges against it which they eouldn t prove. The one active measure taken, that of shutting of one reservoir and drawing only. from another of better repute, did not stop the epidemic, the reason being, as was discovered later, that there was a ire quent flow of water between the two and that their contents were therefore alike.
 The state officials have now found the typhoid bacillus in this water, as it has been, doubtless, from the beginning, and efforts are being made to persuade everybody to boil all water used for do- nestle purposes. A general cleaning up of the city is also in progress, and it seems that this was very badly needed so badly that in some cases residents coming home after the health employees had been at work there, found it diff cult to recognize their own property.
 There have been in Scranton since the first of December over a thousand cases of the fever, and the number of deaths has passed seventy-fve, with no present improvement in the situation. The mon- ey loss has, of course, been enormous This is big price to pay for what it is no exaggeration to call criminal neg hgenee on the part of the municipality as whole and on the part of all the inhabitants even ordinarily we'll inform ed as to sanitary matters. Of all dis eases, typhoid is perhaps best under stood and most easily, though not least expensively, prevented. With the know ledge at hand no case of it can be called B misfortune, and still less ''visitation of Providence"
 1t always results from the neglect by Somebody of precautions of which nei- fher the necessity nor the utility can be denied by anybody not densely ignorant, and for every epidemic, if not quite for every ease, there is responsibility that can and should be fixed. In several in- stances damage suits have been brought against towns by those who contracted the disease or by their heirs, and there IS no reason why these suits should not be successful. None of them has been. yet, so far as we can recall, but sooner or later the adequacy of the cause for action will be judieially recognized and then it will be realized that belated ac- tivity such as that of Scranton now cannot win forgiveness for gross care iessness of human life.

Humorous Finale.

While the recent city election had
many sides to it, it also had a
humorous one. Mayor-elect Couch
and the senior editor of The Review
came in for portion of the fun,
and never lost an opportunity to
banter each other. One day while
Mr.. Couch was in The Review
office he met several of his own
workers and also a few of Mr.. Nor
tons. To make Mr.. Couch feel
good the senior editor hurled the
following at him: "The next day
after election | am going to tack
your hide up there on the wallp'
The remark never Jared the
candidate for the mayoralty. He
just smiled one of his large smiles
and resumed the bantering. But
the next morning after election he
began to think of a few things that
he had been told. Among them
was something about a hide. He
at once decided to go into the hide
business himself.
Accordingly he procured bear
hide, a hammer and handful Of
nails. Mounted OH a box he nailed
the hide to the outside of his store
building. Over his handiwork he
placed a placard with letters foot
high bearing the inscription:
