HAGGARD ON DRINKS.
Tbs Netsd Author 10 Down on the
Hard Drinker and Offers RadL

Rider Haggard 10 At present taking
q deep personal interest In the cure
Of drunkenness. He 10 chairman Of
one bench OF magistrates and senior
member Of another; and, In the course
Of his career. has dealt with some
thousands Of drunk and disorderlies."
He has recently given his view on In
temperance In q British government
report. Some of his suggestions are
quiet radical. For instance. among
other things. he says:
Il submit that the best way to pro
mote sobriety ia to make It exceed.

that II public intoxication ceased to
be treated as q kind Of troublesome
and malodorous joke, and II its repeti.
tions were punished with sentences Of
confinement increasing In length In
proportion to the frequency Of the Of
fence, instead of being condoned by
a small fine. we should hear and see
a great deal less of It than we do at
present"
The famous author then goes on to
recommend the following drastic
measures for eradicating this vice:
First offense. dismissal. with a eau.
tion; second offense. the ordinary fine;
third ofense. committal. without the
option OF a fine. Committal should
not be to an ordinary prison" he says

With habitual drunkards he would
resort to Incarceration whether or not
their own consent or that of their
family were obtained. In England,
habitual drunkards cannot be put
away without their own consent for
any length Of time. but Rider Haggard
would alter this. and treat habitual

A Cover Crop For tise Orcl..r1


Some growers use permanent and
others occasional cover crops In their
orchards. The benefits derived from
these crops are the improvement Of the
physical condition OF the soil by the
addition of humus, protection against
high soil temperatures In summer, ad-
dition Of nitrogen and winter protec-
ton for the soil. Heavy soils are great
" benefited by plowing under clover
crops rs the organic matter added
makes the soil more friable and more
retentive Of moisture. The use Of cover
crops to protect the soil during the hot
summer weather seems to have much
weight with some growers, and these
folks keep the orchard permanently In
red clover or alfalfa. They disc in
spring and follow with . smoothing
harrow. The first crop 10 cut for hay
while the second is allowed to remain
as cover during the winter.
Another practice In much favor Is
that Of alternating cover crop Of red
clover kept for two years with clean
cultivation for like period. The idea
Of soil improvement is uppermost In
the minds of those who advocate this
system. A cover crop does not con-
serve moisture but on the other hand
robs the soil Of 1t. Hence, sufficient
water must lie applied both for the
cover crop and the trees. Their use is
therefore restricted to those localities
where water is fairly abundant.
Green crops plowed under return to
the soil those elements Of fertility
which they take from 1t, adding organic
matter and also nitrogen If the crop 10

When, however, crop Is removed
there is loss that cannot be restored
by green manuring Our western soils
In their virgin state lack both nitrogen
and humus. There Ii thus an ovious
need of q cover crop to put our soil In
good condition for fruit production.

Just as we have said many time the
horns must come off, again asserts the
Denver Field and Farm. The small
country butcher as well as the big
packer prefers to handle the carcasses
of cattle that have not been bruised up.
The high price of meat makes it ex-
pensive to cut out and throw away the
bruised parts. When one Of our range
men ships his stockers and feeders to
the open market, he finds that the de-
horned steers outsell by far those that
have horns. When put into feed lots,
the horned steers are bound to be kept
in restless condition all the time, while
a pen Of dehorned cattle will stand
around and and eat together like sheep.
When everybody gets down to hand
ling the dehorned cattle, there will be
greater satisfaction in the business all
around but the happy day is good
many years off yet although horns can
be bred out In five generations.

Few people realize the value and

to more than heat the cereal. Most

JOY his lifelong ambition of being q
supreme justice himself 1t may even
be that before his term ends he may
name majority of the court, since
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Har-
IAN and Brewer have already passed
the age limit and Justice Holmes will
do SO in 1911. The law provides that
at the age of seventy a supreme court
justice may retire OIL full pay provld-
ed he has served ten years. Fuller
and Harlan are each seyenty-six, the
chief justice having been in Office
twenty>one years and the senior asso
ciate justice thirtytwo years AS for
Brewer he is seventy-two and has
been on the supreme bench twenty
years. Thus all three are eligible for
retirement. Holmes will not be sew
enty until March s. 1911. and will not
have served ten years until Dec g.
1912. but as both these dates come
within President Tafts term there will
be four possible retirements. which
with the successor of Justice Peckham
constitutes majority of the court
This is on the theory that Justice
Moody RECEIVERS and that there is no
death in the court before March T.

ian will be in the neighborhood of

that four Of the justices will be eligi-
BILE to retire on full pay is no indica
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 it's inception only seven
teen have retired and thirty-fve have
died in Office Many of these were
over seventy when they left the bench
Chief Justice fancy was eighty-seyen,

FINAL ARBH[RS OF OUR AFFAIRS
President Taft May Have to
Fill Several Vacancies on
Highest Bench Before
His Term Ends.

veto The statutes or any state err 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 pow
erful body on earth. That probably is
not true, as the British house of com
mons perhaps surpasses it. The COM
mons is body of over 600 members,
however; our supreme court of nine.
Moreover, the commons has no direct
power over the individual outside it's
own membership; the supreme court
has all power over the individual that
is brought before it, subject. of course,
to the law or to it's Interpretation of
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 aud laws. 1t 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 Tor force N controversies
between the people, the state and the
Union"
1t 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 dignitied 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. 1t Is
the impersonal voice Of justice. Equi-
| ty, right. truth, wisdom, are the lights
that guide its steps. Removed as far
us may be from passions, factions,
commerce and personal desires, assail-
ed not by ambitions or fears. clamors
or temptations, 1t 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 SUI
preme court. The president they cheer
or abuse, call him by his first name or
| by a shorter and uglier one. Congress
they vituperate and on occasion bias
| pheme. But the supreme court is set
apart in their mindsA 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 ahus-
ing 1t, Of taking liberties with the
names of its members, of cartooning
1t, 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
