And while he would like, and desires, to
take advantage Of the impression spread
abroad that that clear headed and just
Judge would be his choice for the
Supreme bench he win surely shelter
himself behind the profession that az a
candidate he cannot with propriety dis
Cuss in advance of his election, which
he affects to regard as assured, the ap-
pointments Of the Presidential office.
As a matter OF fact MIR. RRYAN's ideal
Of a Judge Is Chief Justice WALTER
CLARK OF the Supreme Court Of North
Carolina, who in 1908, during the mark
ing time Of MIR. BRYAN's campaign for
another Presidential nomination, was
one Of his choices for President.
Judge CLARK questions the interpreta-
tive function Of the Supreme Court as
regards the constitutionality Of laws
enacted by Congress, and 1t may be
presumed that Mr.. BRYAN's admiration
extends to approval Of that doctrine.
AS President he would be much more
likely to appoint to the Supreme Court
an ~iconoolast like WALTER CLARK than
o jurist Of GEORGE GRAY's conservative
and sober tendencies.
, The tip that Mr.. BRYAN II he succeeds
In "fooling' the electorate with his nos
trums would put Judge GRAY In the seat
OF MARSHALL is mere buncombe.

The story emanating from Demo-
cratic national headquarters that Mr..
BRYAN II elected President will appoint
Judge GEORGE GRAY Of the Federal Cir
cult Court to the Supreme bench in
place Of Chief Justice FULLER will no
doubt have Mr.. BRyAN's tacit approval,
for it implies that conservative public
opinion would have nothing to fear from
him, and Mr.. BRYAN ID now sedulously
cultivating that opinion.
Judge GRAY. however, Is not the type
OF Judge in favor with the radical ele-
ment from which Mr.. BRYAN expects to
derive the bulk Of his support, and he
dare not intimate that Judge GRAY would
be his selection TO preside over the
United States Supreme Court. In the
early part OF the present month Judge
GRAY rendered an illuminating opinion
holding that the commodity clause OF
the Hepburn rate law was u~noonstitu-
tional. Among other things he said:
IF TIE enactment In question be warranted
by the commerce clause Of the Constitution II 10

To TEE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir: My

should be 90 ignorant of the history Of the
industry they represent. While the exact
date of the erection Of the first glass factory
In this country Is not known. It is certain
that glass works were In operation long be-
fore 1880.

titles on the surfaces Of coins and in
great quantities on bank bills Is indis-
putable. Investigations made some
years ago at the research laboratory OF
the New York Board Of Health showed
that although metallic disks were rela-
lively free from germs 80 compared with
paper money, yet on an average twenty
six living bacteria could be found on q
penny and forty on q dime. No fewer
than 1850 bacteria were on an average
discovered on clean bank bills and
1900 on soiled bills. The publication
Of this report attracted the attention
Of Mfr. WARREN W. HuDTrCH Of the
Sheffield laboratory Of bacteriology
and research at Yale University and he
proceeded to make an examination.
He selected for treatment the very dirti-
est bank bills he could come upon, OBJ
tanning them from banks, railway, troll
ley and theatre ticket offices and drug
stores. He ascertained that the mum
bers Of bacteria present on the bills
chosen ranged from $4,000 up to $50, 900,
the average for twenty-one bills being
4 1900. Curiously enough there seemed
to be no connection between the amount
Of dirt on q given bin and the number
of bacteria. The cleanest looking bank
note that he used exhibited 406, 900 BAG
terra, or next to the largest amount,
while the bill that looked the dirtiest
had but 5000.
The question whether these microbes
are virulent must be answered In the
negative SO far as Mr.. HnDTTcH's ex-
periments have gone. He inoculated
numbers Of guinea pigs with the bacteria
obtained, but In no instance did disease
result. DR.. DoTY, Health Officer Of
the Port Of New York, has arrived at
similar conclusions from Investigations
of his own. To the same effect testifles
DR.. PARK Of the research laboratory Of
the New York Board Of Health. I'VE
have lever found he says. amy evil
dence whatever Of the actual transfer
OF disease through money
1t IL Of course conceivable that some
Of the bacteria present in immense num-
bers on bank notes may be the germs
OF dangerous diseases and may thus
prove sources OF infection. All the
scientifically verified testimony wehave,
however, seems I'd warrant US in view
ing as negligible the risk Of handling
soiled currency.

Wagner and the New Opera.

Mr.. DIPPEL's announcement Of the
Metropolitan's plans for the first season
Of the joint dictatorship indicates that
the new managers have at least one
settled conviction In regard to the taste
Of the public. They defer TO the taste
for 10 operas, which is a hitherto un-
familiar feature Of campaigns at the
older opera house. Stronger evidence
Of their belief in the public hunger for
new music is their intention to bring
forward these works promptly.
When Mr.. HAMMERsTEIN brought to
New York two modern French operas
that had been ignored by his predeces-
sors public support Of his enterprise
turned what had begun to look like dis
heartening failure into brilliant success.
Every novelty he presented continued
to draw large audiences. Such q mood
on the part Of the public had never been
observed before. The fate Of sFal-
staff, Samson ct Dalila, '@Manon' and
'Werther" was recalled by those who
remembered that these works had been
dismissed almost without a hearing.
What fate would have awaited such
operas as louise and .Pelleas ct
Melisande' in those days It IL not diff
cult to conjecture.
The increased interest in the work Of
new operatio composers has been at
tributed by. some observers to the dis
appearance Of the Wagnerian operas
from their dominant place in the
repertoire. When audiences at the
Metropolitan refused to take interest In
new works that had met with great
success abroad it was mainly in the
Wagner operas that they took delight.
There were some great Wagner singers
in, those days to interpret these master
pieces to the satisfaction Of their ad-
mirers, and there was q great Wagnerian
conductor as well. So there was little
place in the repertoire Of those days for
the lighter operas Of the French and
Italian school. Musical enjoyment Of
that kind was sufficiently provided by
the familiar operas Of GoUNoD, VERDI
and BIzET.
But these were not numerous or
varied enough for a public that sud-
denly turned to the French and italian
school after a too liberal supply Of
Wagner music. 1t needed a larger
choice to meet the new demand. Thus
the feeling toward new operas changed.
It is to this new attitude Of their. public
that the managers Of the Metrop olitan
are appealing, and they IN doing IL
with the best that the foreign field
affords. 30 until the Wagner operas
regain their former footing there viii be
ample interest in the repertoire from
other countries than Germany.
