CHIEF JUSTICE MELVILLE W. FULLER.

seventy-two, McKenna nearly seventy.
White sixty-eight, Day sixty-four and
Moody sixty. OF course the mere fact
that four OF the justices viii be eligi-
BILE to retire son full pay is no ipdfca-
ton that they will do so. Indeed, the
probability is that they will not. The
only reason that supreme justices
usually retire is i'll health. OF the six
ty-two that have been members of the
court since its inception only seven
teen have retired and thirty-five have
died In Office Many of these were
over seventy when they left the bench.
Chief Justice fancy was eighty-seven.
Justice Gabriel Duval was eighty-four,
John Marshall eighty and Justice Sam-
uel Nelson eighty. The old saw about
offlcehofders that few die and none re-
sign is not absolutely true Of the su
preme court justices, but nearly so.
They are not the kind of men who are
willing to draw salary without work
ing for it, nor are they the sort that
willingly relinquish power until death,
disease or feebleness break their hold.
Power of Our Highest Court.
And they have power of an actual
substantial kind. They can nullify
the acts of congress and hold a rein
on the president himself. They can
veto the statutes Of any state or the
ordinances of any city. They can reg
ulate the findings of courts and pass
upon their findings, from the federal
circuit to the justice of the peace. No
official IL, independent of them, and
no individual is beyond their reach.
True, this almost appalling power is
not arbitrary. It is bounded by the
constitution, by law and by precedent.
But within these limits there is still
wide scope of choice. No king or en-
peror has arbitrary power, but is
hedged about In thousand ways.
1t has been said that the United
States supreme court is the most pow
erful body on earth. That probably is
not true, as the British house Of com.
mons perhaps surpasses it. The com
mons is a body of over 600 members
however; our supreme court OF nine.

A Definition of the Court.
Horace Binney once defined our
court of final appeal in this way:
The supreme court OF the United
states is the august representative of
the wisdom and justice and conscience
OF this whole people in the exposition
OF their constitution and laws. 1t is
the peaceful and venerable arbitrator

commerce and personal desires, assaiI-
ed not by ambitions or fears, clamors
or temptations, it is in an ideal posi-
ton to stand for the supremacy of the
law and to uphold the public good as
against private interest. The Ameri-
can people look at it in this light, and
as nearly as they have made Fetch
of anything they make it of their su-
preme court. The president they cheer
or abuse, call him by his first name or
by a shorter and uglier one. Congress
they yftuperate and on occasion bias

apart in their minds Some of them
may disagree with one or another of
its decisions, but the disagreement is
accompanied by no disrespect. Peo-
pie do not think of applauding or abus-
ing it, of taking liberties with the
names of its members, of cartooning
it, of making it the butt of jokes or
ridicule Though the salaries Of its
members are comparatively small and
though its work is exacting, the most
eminent men are willing to give up
leisure. comfort and princely incomes
to be honored in its service. No won
der that Judge Taft turned from his
dream of it with a sigh, even though
he turned to the power and distinction
of what is perhaps the most conspicu-
GUS position now on earth.
Only Eight Chief Justices.
Since its inception under President
Washington the supreme court of the
United States has had eight chief JUS
tees aud ffty-four associate justices.
Perhaps technically there have only
been seven chief justices, as John Rut-
ledge was not confirmed by the senate.

chief Justices were John Jay, Oliver

Avoid Taking
Cold

If people would only use or
binary precautions, the toll of
disease and death directly
traceable to neglected colds
would not be nearly so heavy.
Learn to breathe properly
don't expose the person need
lessly to sudden changes of
temperature, dampness and
draughts. Get busy with the
first sneeze and check cold be-
fore it reaches the lungs. A
simple remedy, and one that is
highly recommended, is made
by mixing two ounces of glycer-
inc, a half ounce of Virgin Oil
of Pine compound pure and
eight ounces of pure whiskey.
You can buy these in any good
drug store and easily mix them
in a large bottle. 1t is claimed
by the Leach Chemical Co., of
Cincinnati, who prepare the
genuine Virgin Oil of Pine COM
pound pure, that a teaspoonful
of this mixture four times a
day, will break up a cold in
"a hours, and cure any cough
that is durable.

BALLINGER AFTER AGENTS

Chicago, June 2S.-Secretary Bal
linger who is on his way west to
spend the summer in studying rec
lamation projects and land affairs
under his jurisdiction, said here yes
terday that he was going to make
radical changes in the manner of
conducting Indian affairs in the
West. Mr.. Ballinger said:
Il am not afraid to cut away the
red tape when | see that it is hamp-
ering the work of the department. l
am already convinced at the begin
ming of my trip that there are many
incompetent agents who will have to
step down and out.
II think the principal difficulty is
with incompetent agents. They are
not INSCRIPTIONS. but it takes good
business men and men who under
stand the ways of the Indian TO deal
with them"
