JUSTICE HARLAN
HAS ANNIVERSARY

devoted to increasing the mortality
rate among the turkeys of the land.
AS an incident of the inaugural cere-
monies, Justice Harlan received the
congratulations of his colleagues on
reaching the thirty second anniver-
sary of his appointment to the su-
preme bench. He. was appointed by
President Hayes Nov. 29, 1877. AL
though he received his commission
Immediately, he refrained from TAX
ing his place on the bench uneil Dec.
10 following, in obedience to the I'M
written law that supreme court
justice shall not assume his duties
until his appointment has been pass
ed on by the senate.

This unwritten law Will prevent
the successor to the late Justice Peck
ham from filling the vacancy in the
supreme court until after congress
has assembled in regular session next
month The objection to the sealing
of a justice during recess of con-
gress is that the failure of the senate
to confirm his nomination would seri-
ously impair the weight of any de-
cisions On important cases in which
he may have participated. Further,
it has been reasoned that the attitude
of a justice in considering cases of a
political nature while holding a tenn
porary commission might be infiu-
enced by natural desire to secure
the approval of sufficient number OF
senators to insure his confirmation.
Justice John Marshall Harlan was
born in Kentucky, June 1, 1888, the
same year as Chief Justice Fuller, but
has had eleven years more service on
the supreme bench than his judicial

that about 80 per cent OF the open
