At the present time three of the
United States supreme court justices
are eligible to retirement and within
the period of the incumbency of the
next president two more will reach
the age limit when they may retire
upon pension if they so wish to do.
This opens up an interesting condition
and brings within the scope of posi-
bility, if not probability, that the sue.
cessOr to President Roosevelt may
have tho privilege of filling five va
cancies, which constitutes a majority
Of the membership of the highest jul
dicial body in the United States. If
such were the privilege of the next
president and he We're Democratic in
stead of Republican it would change
completely the political character of
the tribunal, and for the first time
since the civil war give the Democrats
a majority
Politics is not supposed to cut much
figure in that high tribunal but po-
litical parties, none the less have con
siderable pride and concern in seeing
men of their own faith wearing the
ermine, and the close decisions in a
number Of great legal and couslitu.
tioual questions within the last de-
cadc make the personnel Of the court
a matter Of concern for the future.
Three of the nine members Of the
court are now Democrats Chief .Ius.
tic2 Fuller appointed during Mr.
CleyCland's first term; Justice White
aud Justice Peckham. both appointed
during his second term. Five of the
justices will be eligible for retirement
before March 4, 1913, when the next
presidential administration will have
come to an end. All but two Of these
justices Fuller and Peckham-
were appointed as Republicans.
There is a double qualification essen
tial for retirement, involving not only
10 years of age, but ten yeas Of serv-
fee on the tribunal Chiee Justice
Fuller is 75, and has been eligible for
retirement since February II, 1903,
but, being devoted to his high office,
he has never indicated any intention
Of relinquishing the honor
Justice Harlan, the ranking associ-
ate. who has been a member OF the
court over so years and has just
passed his seyentyffth milestone has
been eligible for retirement since June
/, 19O3-more than five years Justice
Brewer has been eligible a year, hay,

or spotted. The best known and the
most dreaded of all is the Colorado po-
tato beetle. Originally a native of
that state and living on one of the
wild magistrates (the sand bur. Soda
mum rostratum), it has transferred its
allegiance TO the cultivated potato,
upon the advent of this domesticated
member of the nightshade family. Sup
piled with plenty of food, it increased
enormously, and has spread far east
ward, doing great damage to the po-
tato crop. II is one of the worst pests,
but can be held in subsection. Since
it does not occur in this state, though
the most familiar of beetles in the
east, it may be as well to state that
il is about one-quarter of an inch

pointed out. 1t is equally true that the
beetles include many Of the most in

an insect is injurious if it feeds on veg

those recently exhibited by Professor
Titus before the writer's classes in ma
ture study at the university.
The Vegetable Feeders.
The Phytophaga comprise the group
OF plant feeders that eat only living
vegetable tissue. There are kinds that
feed on each part of the growing plant:
some that feed on the foliage of flow
ers; others that eat the roots; and still
others that devour the seeds This is
the last of the groups having five
jointed tarsi: but the third joint is

upon.
The Phytophaga, then, are in two
groups. First, the long horns (Ceram-
bycidae), such as the giant root-borer;
the bark slippers which infest tan
bark; the oak primers, boring into and
girdling branches of oak so that they
break off in the wind; the locust borer,
which riddles naples and locusts,
though the beetles live in the flowers of
the golden rod; the currant bush borer.
the round-headed apple borer, infesting
also ounce and pear trees, and the twig-
girdler. Leaf beetles, the second group
tChrysomelidae} comprise all the others
mentioned here, besides many that are

the long-horned corn root worm, the
elm-leaf beetle, etc.
