Big Job to Fill the Supreme Bench

In addition to judicial fitness, poll

must be considered. Moreover, the

a task which will be of tremendous
Importance to the United States for

the court which President Taft must
reconstruct will pass on all the

The problem will not be solved
for the public until after congress
meets, as It has been definitely an
nounced at the White House that no
judicial appointments would be sent
to the senate until the Monday fol
lowing the reconvening of congress.
The president is also head over

the new court of commerce. In addi
tion to these judicial vacancies there
are several district judges to be ap
pointed 1t is no stretch of the

The Black Death"

The plague, or Asiatic cholera, or
as It used to be called, the black
DEATH" has been spreading Of late in
Europe.
IN Russia, where the people are
dirtiest and most superstitious, the
plague thrives best. Seventy thousand
persons are known to have died of
this attack in Russia already.
This is not surprising, for the in
habitants, instead of cleaning their
wells. cleaning their bodies, and us
ing their brains, get out the little
ikons or images which the Greek
church sells at a considerable profit,
and to these little images supersti-
tious peasants pray-the prayers be-
ing interrupted in thousands Of cases
by death from the plague.
There is nothing more tragic in all
the history of man than the record of
"the black death" in Europe.
In the fourteenth century one cpl
demlc after another spread among the
people. twenty-five millions Of human
beings are believed to have perished
in this single series Of epidemics.
The rich and the poor alike were
affected. In Oxford two-thirds Of the
student population died.
In Constantinople the people died at
the rate of 10000 a day
Charms, incantations, fear, filth, ig-
norance and superstition fed the dis
ease.
Curious results came Of the long Pc
riod Of panic and of dying.
The famous dance Of DEATH in
which desperate human beings paro-
died and made fun Of the plague, IL
Illustrating the dance of death" with
grinning skulls and skeletons, was one
feature of the epidemic.
Another, curiously enough, was in
England, the tremendous rise In the
cost of labor, The workmen died so
fast that there were few left to dc the
work, and, following the law of supply
and demand, the few that could work
we're offered extravagant wages-al
though laws were passed to keep the
wages down. And it is said that this
snddeu rise in wages laid the founda-
tion Of the emancipation Of working
people in England
The plague in Europe appears now
in the old familiar way-breahng out
here and there, always in filth and in
ignorance, spreading gradually.
The disease is not thoroughly under
stood now But the method Of fight
ing it is understood. The people must
be well fed--a strong man may have
the disease germs with him, resist
them and rid his system Of them. The

weak, half-fed man dies-that is why
the plague was often so violent In the
old days Just after a famine.
AS far back as the fourteenth cen
tury Gabriel de Mussis observed that
those who escaped the plague gave It
to others with whom they came in con-
tact.
They gave 1t to others because they
had the plague within themselves;
their essential tract was infected with
the disease, and this disease they scat
tered.
It. is some comfort to know that the
disease can only be acquired by actu-
ally swallowing the disease germs.
The man who will be sufficiently care
full need not get the plague.
II you will drink only water that
you knew to be clean, and only from
vessele that you know to be clean; if
you eat no fruit that has not been
carefully cooked, or carefully peeled
with an absolutely clean knife, and IL
all the food that you eat Is well cook
ed and eaten when freshly cooked, you
will net get the plague.
The main thing is not to worry
about It in this country There is lit
tie chance, probably no possibility
whatever, Of a plague Of the old kind
among us.
The work that is not done by the
little sacred images of the Russian
peasants is done very well by good
sewers, plenty of disinfsctants, plenty
of soap and hot water, and a little
common sense.

ALBERT ]. MYER, the American
"A army's gentleman soldier, is no
longer wearing the uniform of an en-
listed man. He has left Fort Myer,
the army reservation named for his
illustrious grandfather, and has gone
back to Boston.
Not only was the passing OF the
dandy soldier sudden and unexpected,
but the manner of his going sensation
al. Mr.. Myer, who was corporal in
the signal corps, has been in the
guardhouse since August A recent
verdict of court-martial which tried
him sentenced Corporal Myer to be
reduced to the ranks, to be confined
at hard labor for three months and
to forfeit $50 of his pay.
The court-martial was little slow
and Myer escaped its Imprisonment
penalty, having been discharged in
the meantime. He was given an hon
orable discharge and the army knows
him no more.
