It is only to a President amply en-
dowed with those attributes that the
people can safely entrust the power
of appointing Justices OF the great
tribunal which is at once the bulwark
and the final interpreter of the Con-

William Howard Taft is pre-emin-

common welfare all combine to dis
tlnguish him as one consptcuously
qualified to maintain and guard the
sanctity of our judicial institutions

He possesses the judicial spirit In an
exceptional degree. He appreciates
courts of justice free from even a
hint of partisan control, and his con-
duct on the bench presents splendid
example of the upright judge admin
isterIng Justice without fear or favor.
With MIR. Taft as President the in
tegrity and dignity of the United
States Supreme Court will be reso-

appointed solely because of their fit

Bryan's stiffness Is again seen in
his fimsy defense of his silver rec
ord. He alludes to some Republic
cans who years ago were In favor of
silver and advocated bimetallisn. To
be sure they did, and at that time
the Republicans In question were In
line with many of the foremost econ
omists and Ananciers of the world.
But what they proposed was very
different thing from what Bryan
championed. They were for bimetal-
lism in which silver should be accept
ed at a certain ratio by all the nations
that would be parties to the agree
ment, and that would have made the
silver dollar practically the equivalent
of gold Bryan was for free and in
dependent coinage OF silver without
the consent of any other nation at
a ratio that inevitably would have de-
based the currency. prostrated bust
ness and brought lasting dishonor on
the Government. The more Bryan
founders on this question the deep
,er he gets in the mud.
The rich man doesn't want free
trade because it will lessen his In
come, and the mechanic doesn't want
It for exactly the same reason.

Farman Expects Five Hour Aerial
Line Between Paris and London.
Henry Farman, the French aeronaut
who recently won the Deutschland
deacon prize. in an interview at Paris
on the future of aerial navigation said
that the best results in aeroplane trav-
el would be had from Il combination of
the principles of the Bleriot machine
and the cubic cellular aeroplane used
by, Santos-Dumont and himself. For
the present he regards aeroplanes as
purely sporting machines. but expects
their development to be rapid and
forcsees the time when an aeroplane
omnibus will cover the distance be-
tween Paris and London in five hours.
NJ. Farman feels certain that within
twelve mouths aeroplanes will be able
to travel Seventy-tiye to hundred
miles at an insignificant cost compared
with the expense of running an auto
mobile for the same distance.

has been built on to the Theater Royal
in which people can wait before the

requested to retire between the acts to
