the National Capital
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dec. 1.-THE
chances are about even that Judge Lur-
toms elevation TO a seat on the supreme
court bench have gone glimmerinK. and
that President Taft viii look elsewhere
for a successor to the late Justice Peck
ham. Secretary of War Dickinson. of
Tennessee, who has been pressing Lurton
for appointment, is graveiy alarmed over
the situation tonight And some mem
bers Of the senate are predicting that the
president win withholdm Lurton's nomi-
nation. Lurton's decisions have been
too favorable to corporations. II is stated.
There was a hitch in the program to
nominate Lurton for the supreme bench
yesterday, when his name was to have
been sent to the senate.
While the failure OF the president to
send in the nomination was attributed to
the action of the judiciary committee La
urging him to further consider the ap-
pointment because of Lurton's age il ia
an open secret that the criticisms of
Judge Lurton's decisions on the circuit
bench are behind the delay.
It is pointed out that Judge Lurton, on
the supreme bench. would have to over
rule the recent Standard Oil decision. or
reverse his decision in a case involving
practically the same points
The Judiciary committee, although pro-
testing against Lurton on account OF his
age, has agreed to recommend his con-
firmation II the nomination is made. But
the president fears, it is said, that the
radical Republicans not on the judiciary
committee may oppose the nomination in
the senate and air Lurton's alleged cor
poration record.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-As result Of
recent abuses, Postmaster General Hitch

For instance, the average

OF his wife which might cause the pub

He wants her to dress with quiet
taste, to speak In modest manner In
public places, to choose the right COM
panions and to frequent only ire
proachable places OF amusement.
IL her dress is untidy. loud or care
less, he speaks to her on the subject,
and assures her he only wishes TO
have her escape the comments or
strangers.
The average wife accepts this sur
veillance of her husband with meek
ness, IL not with gratitude.
She Is in her secret heart pleased
that he gives her so much thought.
Even IL she pouts bit over his COM
ments, she realizes that the motive
which actuates them is good one.
