CHIEF JUSTICE
IS SEVENTH
THOUGH FIVE YEARS PAST AGE
OF RETIREMENT, CHIEF JUS
TICE FILLER IS STILL ACTIVE
MEMBER OF SUPREME BENCH

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IL
1t kept Chief Justice Fuller pretty
busy today receiving the good wishes
of his colleagues on the supreme
bench and his numerous other
friends in and out of official circles
who called to congratulate him on
seventy-fifth birthday.
Despite his flowing snow-white
hair, Justice Fuller is far from look
ing his years. His eyes are as
bright and his cheeks as rudy as
| those of schoolboy, and mentally
and physically he is active and Wig
orous as many men of half his age.
I All his life he has been fond of out
door exercise and to this he at
tributes his general good health.
From time to time there has been
reports circulated in regard to the
retirement of the chief justice. He
is the oldest member of the supreme
court and has already given FIVE

fore the court than he would have
had to give.
But there is little probability that
he will retire before another year
at least. Though precedent and
good taste compels him to keep out

Ter, by holding on until next March
, would have the pleasure of seeing a
/ democrat appointed his successor. If
however, Mr.. Roosevelt is succeeded
by republican, it is not unlikely
that Justice Fuller would decide Il
retire from the bench sometim,
within the coming year.

them. but this ia busy. bustling age. in which we arc living. The new has largely replaced the old in all mate rial things. ana perhaps it is to be expected that the young will in some measure forget the ola. but 1t ought not to be go. The old survivors of the confederate Army deserve all the re- spsct and attention that men can re- ceive; not entirely for their services in war. but for their services in peace. The few years that remain to them should be made as easy and happy and peaceful as is possible. ana in- stead of feeling. as many of them are made to do. that they are useless en. cumbrances who would be better out of the way, they should be made to feel that they are respected ana hon. orsd. both for what they have been and what they now are. Let the last days of the survivors of -the storm cradied nation that fsii" be their best days. So viii ths younger generation do honor to thoss who deserve it and do credit to themselves as well.

 A failure would be q disgrace Co Montgomery. But there will be no tail- ure. The new spirit of Montgomery. the accompaniment of Montgomery's splendid progress in recent years. win not brook q failure.
 The fund is necessity for the next state Fair. Without 1t there will be no fair. To confess that Montgomery is unable to raise that small amount would be blot upon the city's name. Montgomery has always rssped mag nincent benefits from her state Fairs That they have paid the city and paid well no one would deny.
 Some are fearful that ths money sub scribed in stock win not be . profit able investment. 1t is small fear. The Fair is now on a self-sustainins basis But if there should be no re- turns from the money invested. it would still he . splendid investment for the business men of the city and Q splendid investment for Montgom- cry.

A sroorED aUEsTrox.

The recent death of Mir. Marsh. of Brooklyn. of hydrophobia. has brought up an Interesting question of medical ethics for discussion among New York newspapers. It wiil be remembered that when Mir Marsh first suspected that he might have hydrophobia he applied at the Pasteur Institute for relief. and was told by the physIcians that he had applied too late; that noth- ing could be done for his relief and that he had but few days to live.
 This action of the doctor or doctors is the topic Of discussion. On one side are these who quote the old saying that while there is life there is hope and also speak of the effect the mind often sxerts on the body. They con- tend that giving an ailing man to un- derstand that there is no chance of re- coysry is to deprive him of hope and render him less able to struggle against his disease. They argue that 1t is the duty of physicians to encourage their patients and probably by this means enable them to resist the attack. and perhaps finally overcome 1t entirely.
 This Is one side of the case. but on the other are those who insist that the course pursued by the physicians in the Marsh case was the proper one. They say that when the patient applied so them he was in his right mind and in fairly good physical condition right at the time. He was man Of affairs, with q famtly, and 1t is argued that he should have been informed of his impending death SO that he might have time to arrange his affairs and pre- rare for the end. It is an old aues- tiOn, and has been argued pro and con many times. and always there are two sides to 1t and men to contend for each with equal sarnestnesa what would the reader say was the proper thing for doctor to do in such casef9

ALABAMA,s VOTE.

The following figures from a few North Alabama counties win tend to show how many men went to the polls and voted for the candidates for coun- ty ofaces and declined to vote for any body on the State ticket. Tn Jackson County the combined vote for Bryan and Johnson was l.5s7 and for Con- gressnan Richardson i.sos. while for Tax Collector, on the county ticket. 2,Ios votes were cast. difference of 500. In Lawrence County Bryan and Johnson received 547 and Congressman RichafdsOn 5sc while the candidates for Superintendent of Education, a contested county ofice, received ITS votes. In Walker County the vote on Presidential candidates was 2,O1s and for Tax Collector 2.sss. Coming down into Southeast Alabama we find that in Geneva County I.o24 votes were cast for Presidential choice and 1.5I4 for Tax Collector. Verify. the people seemed to be more interested in elect ing county officers than in expressing their choice for President. It Is very evident that at least 30 per cent. more people went to the polls and voted than the returns on vote for President would indicate.

Back to the Farms i.

Huntsville Mercury.
 Only flew years have sped since the first cry. ''Go West. young man. .'' rang like a paradox in most ears. The sunset side of the Appalaehians was then regarded as the most suitable place to earn money, and the Atlantic slope as the most enjoyable region for spending 1t. Things have lately been evening up though. It is now possi- bIe for a fairly clever citizen. equipped with the necessary funds and the right disposition, to exchange money for a good time in any of several hamlets from Boston to New York They say that Chicago. St. Louis and some oth- CTS have brass bands. debating clubs and real onyx soda fountains
 On the other hand the effete East Is no longer to be cursed as the stamping ground of diRgorging rlutocrats. There new bpportunities are popping up ev. cry day, and they are not all found In penny arcades and mining compa- nies, either Some of them are of the sort that makes men rather than for tunes; and of these one of the most conspicuous groups Is that offered by Abandoned farms. The recent history of these forlorn estates testifes not only 10 the reality O. the opportunities they offer but equally well to the pub lies growing appreciation of those op- aortunitfeS.

We want to say a good word for tue n,sn who meets hts small obligations promptly. They are not as pIentirul as they should be and the man needs en- eouraging. Most men will pay but fewer will pay promptly.
