GREAT EDITORS.

Between 1910 and 1860 there was
school of famous editors who made
what their critics are disposed to calf
the Augustan age of power. And they
were indeed giants who moved in that
eventful time. Horace Greeley estab-
lished the New York Tribune In 1871.
James Gordon Bennett, the elder,
founded the New York Herald in 1885.
Henry j. Raymond established the
New York Times in 1851. General Due
Green had ruled the United States
Telegram in Washington in Jackson's
administration. George D. Prentice
held the Louisville Courier about the
same time, and James Watson Webb
was the genius of the New York Cour-
Ter and Enquirer up to 1861.
OF these great editors, Duff Green,
Horace Greeley, Henry ]. Raymond,
George d. Prentice and James Watson
Webb welded uncommon power and
influence upon the politics and thought
of the time. 1t was freely said that
the clientele which followed this great
group Of editors and looked to them
for leadership was as numerous and
devoted as that which followed Clay,
Calhoun and Webster in congress and
the senate.
There are no editors in this day,
say the pessimists. ''who hold the sway
and carry the following of the great
newspapers of 1851"
The journalist of today is different
from that of 1850. The journal of that
period, scant of news, had not only
space. but the necessity for elabor-
ate comment and opinion. Today the
editor crowds his teeming columns
with the freshest news from ever!

HAVE
AN EXAMINATION

easterly states having national forests
While the examination is entirely
along practical lines, and knowledge
of field conditions rather than book
learning is considered essential, the
opportunities for those applicants with
educational advantages are consider
ably increased.
The rapid development of the nj
tional forests is making continually
increasing demands upon those err
gagged in their management, and men
with ability to assume responsibility
and serve in supervisory capacities are
in demand The more responsible po-
sitions On national forests are filled by
promotion from lower grades, so that
any one entering as a ranger is eligible
for promotion to any of the more re-
sponsible and higher paid places, IN
Guiding that of forest supervisor.
Only men who are at least twenty
one years of age, not more than 40,
of good character, temperate and in
good physical condition are eligible to
take this examination. The salary
paid to beginners is 5000 a year.

tonight among those with whom the
late Jurist had served SO long and this
extends to the emploes of the supreme
court.
In the absence of any word from
Chief Justice Fuller it was not an
nounced that the supreme court would
stand adjourned tomorrow out of re-
spect to the memory of Justice Peck
ham. 1t is understood, however, that
the court will meet at noon as usual
and will Immediately adjourn without
touching the calendar.
Although none of the officials would
discuss tonight the probable successor
to Justice Peckham, the names of
Frederick N. Judson of st. Louis;
former Secretary of War Luke E.
Wright the present secretary, J. NJ
Dickinson; Henry NJ. Hoyt, counsel for
the state department. and solicitor
General in the Roosevelt administration
and Solicitor Bowers, have been prom
inently mentioned.
Mr.. JudSOn- is known to COMMAND
the respect and friendship of President
Taft He with JudsOn Harmon, now
governor of Ohio, was appointed by
President Roosevelt to investigate the
question of rebates on the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The
recommendations of the two inVestiga-
tors did not meet with the complete
approval of President Roosevelt and
they resigned.
Shortly before the opening OF the
campaign last year, Mr.. Judson wrote
a magazine article explaining Mr.
Taft,s decisions in labor cases DURING
the time Mr.. Taft was on the bench
Although a democrat, Mr.. JudsOn
praised Mr.. Taft for the decisions,
which he maintained were models OF
lucidity and established a clear line
of judicial procedure to be followed
in disputes between labor and capital.
The article later was used IS re-
publican campaign document.
The names of Counsellor HOyt, for
mer Secretary Wright, Secretary Dick
inson and Solicitor General Bowers
have been suggested whenever the re-
port has arisen concerning the prob
able retirement of certain justices Who
are entitled to honorable WithdraWa
from active duty. Three Of the men
owe their entrance into public life to
President Taft while he has frequent
ly voiced his admiration of Mr.. HOyt's
legal acumen.
Although there is no rule to govern
the appointment, the vacancy on the
bench by precedent likely will go to
a democrat. In this event HOyt and
Bowers would be eliminated. No ac-
ton in the matter will be taken, how
ever, until after Mr.. Taft's return from
his tour.

EUGENE, Ore, Oct. 25.-Referring
to the possibility of Prof. Herbert
CrOmbie Howe, instructor of English
literature in the University of Oregon
because of his alleged expressed doubt
of the divinity of Christ and other un-
orthodox views, President Campbell
this morning said:
UNLESS the matter is taken up Off
cially before the board of regents and
the faculty, there will be no attention
paid to it as Prof. Howe gave the lect-
ures after university hours and not IN
his regular classes. You can say that
no official action at present is con-
templated."

Speaker Cannon arrived here this
morning to accompany President Taft
down the river to New Orleans. Con-
corning the attempts of the insurgents
to accomplish his downfall, he said:

Apostle Paul, who wrote in the Epis-

Administrations short, for humanity.
His high sense of honor. his force Oh
character. and his wisdom were fast
leading him to foremost place in
the hearts of the people. His death
was a blow to democracy; it left a
deep wound in the body of popular
government.
Like the opposing clutches in loom
these two men pulled at the fabric OF
government in opposite directions.
Now they are gone. The place of the
humber one will be least easily filled;
for it has been fifty years since Ao-
raham Lincoln, two thousand years
since the Christ, and it is only once
in a generation that a really great
man is born. On the other hand each
year produces men with brains and
ingenuity to hoard and gObble wealth.
1t remains yet to be seen in the
final settlement of the destinies of
mankind-if they ever shall be set
tled-which of these two men were the
more necessary to our happiness, or
whether, mayhap, they were not both

the last of Presidents Cleveland's dem
ocratic appointees to the federal su-
preme court, Chief Justice Fuller and
Justice White being the other-tWo. He
took his seat in January 1896.
His chief distinction was that of
giving his time exclusively to the dut-
les of the court He accepted no
outside appointments and undertook
no work not connected with the high
tribunal. He was in constant attend
ance on the court and he gave the
most careful attention. to all matters
before it. He was married, but went
little into society. He accepted no in
vitations to public functions and made
seat as a justice.
Attended Corporation Cases
Cases involving corporations receiv-
ed special consideration at Justice
Peckham's hands and he was the au-
thor of some of the courts most note
worthy opinions along this line.
Among them may be mentioned the
case of the Consolidated Gas company
of New York, in which he held that
while rates fixed by the Legislature
must allow a fair return on invest
ments. federal courts could not inter-
fere to declare them invalid unless
they were so unreaSOnably low as to
be confiscatory: One result of that
decision was to cause the return OF
several million dollars to consumers OF
gas in New York city.
Several of Mr.. Peckham's corpora
tion decisions dealt with the Sherman
anti-tr law in it's application to
| railroads. These included the joint
| traffic and trans Missouri cases, in both
| of which he held the law to be apple
able He also prepared and delivered
! the opinion of the court in the case
| of Attorney General Young of Mime
sofa, in which he held that the fedora
courts could interfere with the execu-
ton by the state courts of an uncon-
stitutional state law.

death was broken to the other mem

THE SPENDERS.

| Whether the American likes it or
not, he has a reputation abroad as a
person who is made of money, who
thinks his money will buy Kim any
thing and who is lacking in all of the
finer things that go to make up gen.
tIeman. This is due partly to the fact,
that many Americans carry their i'm
patience and hurry along with them
when~ they travel. The average man
is willing to pay several times what he
knows a thing is worth in order to get
it when he wants it,
Instead of taking time to extend
thanks to the waiter or the shopkeep-
err for condescending to attend to his
wants he puts in his orders brusquely
and expects to pay something extra
for being given prompt attention. 1t
is true that courtesy and tact are ne
elected in the every day business life
in America, for not only does the av
erage person not have time to waste
on them but resents having to accept

A consul who has long resided in a
non English speaking country, and who
has seen many instances where mis-
understandings and misconceptions,
with subsequent unpleasant contingent
cies which might have been avoided
by patience and courtesy, offers the
following suggestions to tourists and
travellers:
When travelling through a non Eng
disappearing country one should re-
member that it may be extremely diff
cult for the people to understand what
the tourist wishes. Neither should one
forget that the customs, tastes and
traditions of the people differ from
that Of the tourist, as consequence
of which the multifarious things and
customs which he encounters do not
coincide with those to which he has
been accustomed. Nor should one eX-
pect to be served as punctiliOusly and
his varied environments. In fact, any
thing which one finds abroad should
be given due consideration and, in
case of any complaint, an effort made
to remedy the matter in a reasonable
manner.
This can be easily done through the
use of a little tact and common sense
Courtesy is something the people have
a right to expect of tourist. The
tourist expects it from all those with
whom he comes in contact, and al
most invariably receives it: then why
should he be reluctant to reciprocate
this kind attention and friendly dis
position on the part of the foreigner?
subsidiaries more than through any
other characteristic a traveller may
not only more easily raise himself, his
people and his country in the eStima-
ton of the foreigner, but he thereby
places himself in position Oftentimes
to obtain many favors and concessions

graciously refused.
