Work and Nerves.

Work, again, is the enemy of insom'
MIA. The sufferer from bad or broken
sleep is liable ta give up duties or to
be slack in their performance, to aban-
don exercise and forget his usual hob
bies because of his anticipation of a
night Of distress. In reality, he ought
to prepare himself for sleep by con-
genial activity in which his mind will
be weaned away from the fear Of not
sleeping.
Once more, work is an enemy to the
fears and impulsions, to the strange
sense of unIeality and other morbid
symptoms which accompany psychas-
thenia. Work restores to such suffer

through contact with reality that man,

that four of the justices will be eligi-

: 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 is independent of them, and
no individual is beyond their reach
True, this almost appalling power is
not arbitrary. 1t is bounded by the
constitution, by law and by precedent.
But within these limits there is still a
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 DOW
erful body on earth. That probably is
not true, as the British house of com.

the law
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. It is
the peaceful and venerable arbitrator
between citizens in all questions touch
ing the extent and sway Of constitu-
tional power. 1t is the great moral
substitute for force in controversies
between the people, the state and the
Union"
It is an inspiring reflection that SO,-
100000 people instead of resorting to
war and contention leave their dis
puted questions to the arbitration Of
nine learned, gentle and dignifed old
gentlemen whose finding commands
the almost instant acquiescence of the
whole nation.
How true it is that this is a govern
ment of law and not Of men! The su-
preme court is the symbol of the law.
1t interprets the regulations that So
ciety makes and applies them to the
individual members Of society. It is
the impersonal voice Of justice. Equi-
ty, right. truth, wisdom, are the lights
that guide it's steps. Removed as far

Only Eight Chief Justices.

Since it's inception under President
Washington the supreme court Of the
United States has had eight chief jus
tices and fifty-four associate justices.
Perhaps technically there have only
been seven chief justices, as John Rut-
ledge was not confirmed by the senate,
although he sat for a short time be-
fore congress convened. The other
chief justices were John Jay, Oliver
Ellsworth, John Marshall, Roger B.
Taney, Salmon p. Chase, Morrison R.
Waite and Melville w. Fuller. The
most distinguished of the list and the
one with the longest term Of service
