Justice Peckham.

For twenty-six years Rufus Wheeler
Peckham sat in judicial capacity in
this country, first as a member OF the
supreme court of the state of New York.
next as associate judge Of the state court
of appeals and finally as an associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States. He was ideally equipped
as a jurist With an exceptional intel
lectual grasp and the temperament of
the student, he was withal keenly inter-
ested in practical affairs, and especially
so in the trend of political conditions in
this country. Doubtless if he had en-
tered political life he would have become
a powerful factor. His affiliations were
democratic. At one time he put aside
an offer OF the nomination Of that party
for the governorship Of NeY York, with
the presidency distinctly held in view as
an additional temptation. He had de-
voted himself to the law and he remained
true to it to the end of his days, an
honor to the bench. 1t has been said
of Justice Peckham that he could to a
remarkable degree set aside his personal
preferences and political predictions
when confronted with judicial problem.
He sighted no proposition, but brought
to bear upon it all the force of his keen
mind, with the result that his decisions
were models of judicial clearness and
precision. His passing deprives the Su-
preme Court of the United States of one
Of it's strongest members.

New York's Real Issue.
From the New York Herald.

There is deal OF needless personal
abuse and vituperation in the municipal
campaign. When the shareholders in a
corporation elect directors to arrange
their affairs they give little consideration
as to whether a given candidate was bap-
tized by sprinkling or immersion. wheth-
err he was ever married or divorced and
whether he has voted the republican or
the democratic ticket. They look for
business honesty and capacity. The city
OF New York is corporation-probabl
the biggest one in the world. Citizens.
whether taxpayers or rentpayers, are the
shareholders, and they need men of hon
esty and ability to manage their affairs.
The directors of this giant corporation
are the members Of the board of esti-
mate and apportionment. and, disregard
ing party labels and the rhetoric of
campaign liars the people should Sc
lect from the candidates for membership
in this all important body the men they
can trust to manage their business and
handle their money.

Harvest Of Polar Research.
From the Cenfurv

One Of the results Of this tremendous

In the rejection that hereafter the ex-
plorations in that region of the earth
will be conducted with less strain upon
human endurance. and in the quieter paths
Of scientific research. Perhaps now, for
instance. the somewhat neglected mag
netic pole will receive the attention II de-
serves. And yet the restless and costly

less valuable to humanity than any result

ENTIRE MILITIA TO
OUELL UPRISING
Of INDIANS
FIRING is HEARD IN HILLS AND
BATTLE is BELIEVED TO HAVE
TAKEN PLACE - coMMUNIcA-
TON IMPAIRED.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla, March 20.
The entire state militia has been
called out to suppress the Crazy Snake
Indian uprising that had cost the lives
OF six ohiCers and the wounding OF
many townspcople early today. Firing
has been heard ia the hills near Henry
eta and IL is believed a fight betweea
the band OF Indians and tue state
troops has taken place.
The rebels consist OF 100 Creek In
0ians. half-breeds and Negroes under
Chief Crazy Snake. II is apparently
the aim or the redskins and their allies
to reach a stronghold IN the Tiger
mountains. which furnish an advan-
tageous ground from when To fight SUI
perior numbers.
The telephone wires from stations
near the scene of hostilities have been
cut.
AT daybreak the soldiers moved for
ward TO give battle to the redskins,
but the chief, through his scouts, had
beer watching every move and resuni.
ed his retreat toward the mountains.
The militIamen pushed forward al
double quick. The Indians were about
ten miles away from them, but the
troops were determined the redskins
should not be allowed TO choose the
battle-ground. and thus gain enormous
advantage. The troops outnumber the
Indians three TO one, but should the
latter gain the schiller OF the hills the
outcome might be doubtful.
Six men have been killed and a
dozen wounded since the trouble be-
gan Thursday. This Is the official re-
mort but DIR. l. NJ Wallace. of Dustin.
Okla, who went to the Hickory nils
with the troops today. declared more
than 20 Negroes and Indians were
killed Thursday and Saturday and
were rudely buried without collins IN
the field where the troops camped
last night.
This first real Indian uprising OF
years has held this region on edge for
three days. II broke out last Thurs
day when several deputy sheriffs went
to Henryetta 10 arrest Negro cattle
thieves. They were fred on by Negro
and haif-breed friends OF the Grim
inals and forced to retreat. few
hours later they returned with addi-
tional forces, and were fred on by
the band. then augmented by num-
bed of Crazy Snakes Indians. In this
fisht three Negroes were killed and
FIVE wounded. according to the official
reports. although II Is thought many
more Indians were wounded. as scores
of shots were fired at close quarters.
This clash resulted in Al arrests.
