WY his recent appointments to
the supreme court President
Taft has named five members
of that body, or an actual ma
jority. AS he has been in Office only
twenty months, such record is with
out precedent since Washington named
the members Of our highest judicial
tribunal at its inception.
The circumstance is given an almost
pathetic interest for the reason that
Mr.. Taft's lifelong ambition was HIM
self to be justice Of the supreme
court. At one time he was offered an
appointment, but declined on the
ground that it was his duty to remain
in the Philippines. What pangs that de-
cision cost him none outside his most
Intimate friends may ever know. Yet
as a result of the freaks of fate and
as a species of poetic justice he be-
comes the man to remake the court
and appoint majority Of it's mem
bers
The justices named by President
Taft are Horace Harmon Lurton of
Tennessee and Charles Evans Hughes
Of New York, whom he designated in
time to be confirmed during the pre-

WOMEN TRAIL THE KAISER

Rscc:-t Lecture on Duties and Cite
Statistics Of Labor
tEhe kaiser stirred up hornets nest
when he took to lecturing the women
Of his country on the duties they
ought to perform in life. His Konigs-
berg speech has provided the suf-
fragists with powder and shot. The
kaiser is accused Of having revived
antiuuated notions which would not
be accepted now by the exemplary
woman he cited, Queen Louise, were
she living today.
How would the industrial interests
of Germany fare if they were MOI
supported by 100000 working wom
en-? ask the feminist leaders. Some
newspapers which ignored the suf
fragist movement before the kaiser
delivered his speech are now support
ing the women's protest.

lies of the state, that it would here
after affiliate with the stalwart faction
and work for the nomination of the
stalwart candidates has been received
with enthusiasm by the stalwarts,
while the insurgents try to belittle the
Importance of the gain, and point out
that democrats like John B. Hanten
and w. S. Elder, and stalwarts like
j. F. Shrader have become insurgents
during the present campaign. The
Register, however is the first news
paper of any Importance to change
sides, except where change of own
ership has first occurred
The Huron Huronite, edited by w.
S. Bowen, is quite bitter in its COM
ment over a letter written by r. o.
Richardson to Senator Robert j. Gam
BILE in 1907, in which Gamble is asked
by Ricmhards to hold up any appoint
ments he, may have until after the
primary, on the ground that an Office
in prospect, sought by a half dozen
applicants is more conducive to good
political work by the aspirants, than
the same office filled by one OF the
officeseekers. The Huronite Intimates
that the publication of the letter is a
breach of faith on the part of Senator
Gamble, insurgent or Rep. e. w. Mar
tin, stalwart, and claims that Martin
had an opportunity to secure copy
of the letter through having access to
the papers Of the late Representative
Parker, whom he succeeded The stall
warts are using this letter in & dead
ly parallel with some of the commun-
ications sent out by Richards in the
form of open letters, in which he
pleads for political reform and the
abolition of the ''spoils" system in
state politics. Richards, however,
claims the letter was written at a
time when he was fighting desperately
to save the political life of Coe L.
Crawford, then candidate for United
States senator and at a time when
the personal spoils system was not
campaign issue.

TEST YOUR CORN.

Now. is the time to see whether
the corn which you are thinking of
planting or going to buy for planting
or sowing purposes will grow or no."
says H. L. Bolley, seed commissioner.
Corn and barley are very peculiar
grains. When in good condition they
send out very strong sprouts and make
good clean growths, but you cannot
tell by looking at them whether they
will grow or not. The appearance Of
the grains is often very deceptive. If
there has been a little frost while the
grain is damp it will either be very
weak or dead. Corn which terminates
we'll about New Years time may Of
ten be dead at planting time.
THE seed control laboratory estab-
lfshed at the Agricultural college tests
seeds of all kinds free of charge. and
any farmer who feels that he cannot
rest his own corn satisfactorily is
free to send samples to the laboratory.
and will receive a report telling exact
ly the condition of the seed. This ap-
plies to grass seeds of all kinds, but
is particularly important for those who
are going to plant corn, that they may
know the quality of seed which they
expect to plant. 1t is not very pleas
ant or profitable to cultivate half
stand of corn.
If You want samples tested in time
to do you any good this spring send
it at once. Do not wait until planting
time.
BE sure to state of whom you pro-
cured the seed and when 1t was deliv-
cred to you, if you want a report"

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY


Chicago, May 3.-Wheat.-The wheat
market opened steady and without
much trade. The absence of selling
pressure was noticeable from the start
and when a fair volume of buying APP
peared prices advanced early easily.
The first show of frmness came from
the strength displayed in the north
western markets. Some apprehension
still felt regarding cold weather. The
news from the winter wheat sections of
Illinois. Indiana and Missouri dwelt on
the presence of Hessian fly. Cash
wheats were firm in St Louis and Kan
sas City. May wheat particularly strong
in our own market. News from Kan
sas and Nebraska showed no improve
ment in conditions generally. Condi-
tons generally seem to be working in
.avor of the long side of the market,
Ind the security of short selling Is
rather lessened as each days returns
rom the growing crop show no signs
# Improvement We firmly believe
Drices are working toward higher
Gevel for September wheat and continue
our advices to keep long this future.

TREES IN PLACE
AND OUT OF PLACE.

Among persons who use more SEM
timent than reason, or lack knowl-
edge of the facts, it has become a fad
to say 1t is a crime to cut down a
tree and that it is always, under any
circumstances, an act of great virtue
to plant one.
To one who gives thought to the
matter, these accepted principles may
reversed, and we can say with all SER
iousness and truth that there is not
town in this country where the ju-
dicious use of the axe among trees in
some neighborhood or other is not de-
manded; and on the other hand thous-
ands of trees are being planted where
no tree should be planted.
Each variety of fruit or ornamental
tree when it reaches maturity under
reasonably favorable conditions has it's
established size or spread of branches.
Among the better shade trees this
reaches 40 to so and even a greater
number of feet in diameter. In dense
forests we see the trees stretching up
after air and sunshine losing their side
branches and becoming a collection of
giant telegraph poles with pitiful
punches of green at top, nothing beau
tiful about them. Every tree to be
beautiful must have room to expand
and develop to its proper proportions,
and to retain the side branches with
which nature always furnishes them,
unless she is thwarted by the bungling
hand Of the hired man with axe or saw.

Grain Opinions.

Chicago, May 3.-Bartlett, Patten
& Co: The market will doubtless con-
tinue a choppy one but we advise
keeping long of September wheat and
buying it on all recessions' We be-
lieve the upturn in corn merely tenn
porary because the cash situation has
not strengthened sufficiently to give
us lasting relief from present heavy
stocks.
Logan & Bryan: With favorable
conditions to harvest, we believe the
outlook suggests the selling side until
prices work back to expert basis.
Finley, Darrell & Co.: For at least
at present market will doubtless con-
tinue a trading affair.

in Alloy With Bismuth.
A new metal heretofore unknown to
biologists and metallurgists has been
discovered on Catherine Hill. and Is
to be called holmanite. says Bangor,
Me-. dispatch to the New York Herald.
The metal was first uncovered some
three weeks ago on the shores of
Tunk Pond by B. w. Hills, an expert
in the employ of c. Vey Holman of
Bangor and who, using the right of
the discoverer, has named it in honor
OF Mr.. Holman.
The metal is in reality natural tin
In alloy with bismuth 1t is found
in sheet and ingot formation, but how
great the deposit is not known, no
prospect to ascertain this having been
made.
So far as Mr.. Hills and Prof. Ora w.
knight of Bangor, a noted chemist
and mineralogist, have been able to
ascertain, no such combination ever
has been known, and both these gen.
tlemen do not hesitate to say that out
side the collection of Mr.. Holman there
Is not specimen of the metal in any
collectors cabinet. Pure tin has been
found and tin in alloy with lead is
well known, but never in connection
with bismuth.
Catherine Hill has been much in
the public eye of Maine for several
years because of the discovery of large
deposits of molydenite there About
two years ago Mr.. Holman purchased
the land and has since been prospect
ing the hill and preparing to open the
mine.

Chicago, May Most of the opera

are not to decline materially while
the bulk of the trading is in contracts
there being very little pressure of cash
whea, on the market Most Of the To-
cal crowd are said to be out of their
wheat and waiting for a further set
back to get in. Bulls said that they
expected a Choppy market and that
buying on the sharp break would prove
remunerative. Corn specialists said
they looked for a further reduction in
the discount of May under July. Bulls
believe liquidation is over.
