citation, and OF the Associated Jewish
Charities--yes, an active, not Il noini-
nal participant in these organizations,
Judge Mack is citizen of broad SYM
pathies, of deep concern for the pos-
and needy, n man whose heart Is warm
and whose soul is noble.
Perhaps, after the mention made
above of Judge MaclS's abilities, 1t is
supert1uous to say that he is strict
adherent of the Hebrew faith. In
his loving kindness and mercy, in his
fine sympathy for his unfortunate fe1-
low men, he is not unlike the Jewish
lawgipers of old. One of the greatest
authorities in the country on the judicial
treatment of Juvenile offenders, he is
known as n man who would make the
law corrective rather than punitive,
process OF reclamation The APP
pointment of this large hearted jurist
is tribute to the humanitarian feeling,
SO characteristic Of the Hebrew peo-
Die.

rlIr WISDOM OF CAUTION.

The New york World doles cut some
excellent advice to the, Democratic
party when it says: "overconfidence in
1912 is a great mistake. The Demo.
cratic party cannot afford to make mis-
takes"
The result in 1912 is by no means
assured. The Democrats have grear
opportunity, but it doth not yet APP
pear that they will have the ability
to seize it, The laws of chance are
still in force, and the law of certainty
is yet in peril of repeal. There is a
derce fight ahead and the Democrats
should leave no outpost in weak con.
dition.
In the last election IN New York
$4,000 votes would have whipped Dix.
The Democratic ticket in Indiana
would have lost had 5000 votes been
changed.
In New York. as IN Indiana, the
Democratic State ticket had only a
plurality, not majority.
The electoral vote Of New York will
be required TO elect Democratic
President, and it may take the addi-
uonaI vote of Indiana to turn the
tables on the Republican party.
A change of $4,000 votes In the
pivotal states" of New York and In.
diana in 3 total vote of approximately
100000, would have sent the Demo
cratic tickets TO destruction this year
in both these States. In New York
100000 disgruntled Republicans failed
TO vote at all.
The Democratic party has no cause
to be sanguine of the result in 1917
This is no time for internal discord IL
the party or for overconhdence, The
Democrats arc the cynosure OF all
critical voters at this time.

mileage coupons for tickets has been
declared unlawful by tho North Caro-
lima court of last resort. The decision
holds that the railroads may not law
fully require the exchange of mileage
for tickets, and hence, that passengers
senting their mileage books and hav-
ing the requisite number OF miles to
cover their journey pulled by the con-
ductor."
1t is to be hoped that courts In
other states will mark and follow
the action of the North Carolina court.
Tho action was brought in North Caro-
lima by member of the 4. p. A. That
association is deeply interested in the
settlement of the question.
There is no attempt to conceal the
fact that Just at this time the rail-
roads arc worried over the attitude
of the people toward the common car
riers. The economic mind" OF the
people is the unknown quantity which
is veXing the railroads. The sentiment
of the travelling public is largely re-
sponsible for the public feeling as to
railroads. AS missioner of political
and economic doctrine, the travelling
man is a very powerful factor in the
thought of any state which has a rural
population.
If other States were to follow the
Tar Heel State in respect to this mat
ter of mileage, the travelling public
would feel much more kindly toward
the railroads. Adoption by the COM
mon carriers of the system Of tearing
mileage on trains, without the compul-
sion OF court decision would create
favorable sentiment for the companies
involved. Some of the railroads al
ready do this. and It is wise policy

a CLEAR TITLE.

The sunshine of his broad smile has
dissiputed utterly the mists of opposi-
ton that have surrounded the next
Speaker of the national House of Rep.
resentatives. 1t is announced by those
in position to know that Champ
elect of the next House that they will
support him through thick and thin.
Nothing but some unforeseen and I'M
likely event can now deprive the vet
eran member from Missouri of the
place of honor to which he is clearly
entitled.
The Democrats from the North and
East will be stronger in the next
House than they have been for many
years, numerically speaking, but they
could not control the caucus, If they
had any desire to do so. The long and
loyal service OF the minority leader
furnishes a consideration which per-
suades majority of the members of
the House, especially those who are not
just beginning their terms, that Champ
Clark has clear title to the Speakers
gavel.
There was little behind the asser-
tons of certain Democrats who talked
of opposing Clark except the selfish
personal ambitions of these men. Cases
have arisen In which it was found
necessary to elevate some man other
than the former minority leader of a
triumphant party to the speakership.
but the reasons from such action were
absent in tho present instance. Small
grievances petty jealousIes, narrow
ambitions ought never to have appear
dabove the surface at time when
harmony is so much to be desired
within Democratic ranks.
Clark will make a successful presid-
ing officer, in our opinion. Popular
among his colleagues, tried and true
Democratic blade In many forensic
conflict with the opposition, the speak
ership will be no more than he de-
serves.

ticeship of the Supreme Court, Presi

est tribunal were but two until yes
terday: Justices White and Lurton, and
now Justice Lamar completes the tra-
ditional number.
This is a custom that was wisely
followed by the President, for the Court
should be composed of men OF varied
views and differing political faiths. SO
that an equitable compromise rather
than extreme political action shall
be the controlling principle in the final
decision of the court in constitutional

JUDICIAL TRAGEDIES.

It is written as a part of the judicial
history of the United States that at
one time William II. Taft decided to
accept an appointment as associate
justice Of the Supreme Court, rendered
him by President Roosevelt. The story
President was TO be chief Justice of
that tribunal, and that he feared that
The precedent which he smashed yes
terday-that an associate justice should
not be appointed to the chief Justice
ship--would apply in his case If he
accepted the inferior seat on the bench.
He declined.
No secret has been made of the fact
that the chief justiceship has been the
goal of Mr. Tafts ambition. His train
ing has been mainly for judicial Office;
law has been his lifelong profession.
1t must have been with strange feel
ings that he yesterday nominated Asso-
ciate Justice White for the position
which Mr.. Taft himself so much desired
AS some one has said, it is perhaps tho
tragedy of Mr.. Tafts career that he
will perhaps fail to attain his chief
ambition.
AS much disappointed, doubtless, was
Senator Ellhu Root, of New York. 1t
is said in Washington that "the selcc-
ton of Justice White means that Elihu
Root would have been the next chief
Justice of the United States II New
York had not gone Democratic" 1t
was felt that the surrender of Senator
Roots seat In the higher branch of
tho National Legislature would have
meant the selection OF a Democrat as
his successor, and, as the lines arc
now closely drawn, no chance could be
taken by the administration.
Yet it is an old story. John Rutledge,
the .irst appointed chief justice. was
refused confirmation by the Senate after
| he had served term on the bench,
/ and died shortly afterward. Chief Jus
tice Chase sorrowed during his entire
| term of office because he could not be

M'cHEsNEY LOSES
Majority of Bristol school Board Still
Against Superintendent.


Apparently S. r. McChcsney, division
superintendent Of the schools OF Bris-
tol, Va, has finally lost in his con-.
tentton with the City School Board
The defeat comes in the recollection Of
three members of the board by tho
City Council.
1t has been understood that Mr.. Nc.
chesney's friends hoped that the Coun-
Gil would elect three men favorable to
MN, giving him majority of the
BOARD. However, with the retention
or the present members 1t would seem
mat there is no chance that he Will
remain at the head of the schools.
Among the three Is j. d. Huddle,
regarded by Mr.. McChesney as his
most persistent enemy, and the man
whom he denounced for meddling and
criticized for Ignorance. In fact, the

which position he has lost as a result

salaries of teachers

The PUBLIC WHARF.

If the recommendation of the Coun-
ell committee on the Improvement of
the James River shall be approved. it
will result In the construction of a
public wharf for this city. It Is to
cost $4,000 and Will be adequate in
every respect to the demands OF ves-
sells which seek to come into the port
of Richmond, unhanpered by the re-
strictions placed in some instances
upon commerce by the private owner
ship of wharves here.
This means that there will be some
thing in the nature of an open door,
in Richmond for the commerce that
comes here by water. Independent YES
sells will be enabled, if this wharf shall
be erected, to come here at Will an,,
dnd free facilities. The result will be
that the trade of the city affected by
water transportation will be aug
mented considerably and that business
in many lines VIII be helped ma
terially.
