PLACE CONSIDERED
FOR VAA DEVANTER
Circuit Court Judge May
Succeed Brewer on Su-
preme Bench.

Judge Willis Van Devanter. Of the
Eighth judicial circuit. is looming up
as a possibility for the Supreme Court
bench 20 an the vacancy caused by the
death OF Justice Brewer.
Although the President IS in no hurry
10 make his selection for this important
post, he has already begun to look over
the field Of probabilities and eIigfbleS.
and Van Devanter is said 10 stand near
tho top OF the list with Lloyd ". Bow
ers, Solicitor General for the Depart
ment Of Justice.
Judge Van Dev"nter was a member of
the court which made the famous. deci-
sion GissOlving the Standard OIL Com
pany, on which an appeal is now pend
ing before the Supreme Court. He is
originally from Wyoming. and is known
TO the judiciary Of the whole country as
a man Of profound legal learning and
strong character. He was seriously con-
sidered for the Supreme Bench by the
President just before Justice Lurton was
appointed, and he has the Endorsement
Of a strong following in the West.
It IS probable that Mr. Taft will mt
make his final selection before June

NEW YORK FOR A SAFE AND
SANE FOURTH.

Opposition to the safe-and-
Fourth Of July plan is kicking hard as
it dies. The latest kick comes over the
order given by Mayor Gaynor, of New
York, to the fire commissioner of the
metropolis to stop the sale of fireworks
between June 10 and July 10.
Those who hold that Independence
Day cannot be properly celebrated
without noise are filled with indiruat tion
that can hardly be called patriotic.
They say again that it is possible 10
suppress the dangerous sort Of fire
works; that harmless fireworks should
always be part Of the American
Fourth of July" But it is plain that
the Fourth is TO be not only safer but
saner. The protest has been filed not
merely against dangerous fireworks. but
likewise against the stupid tradition
which makes a harbaric racket repre-
sent patriotic fervor. Deaths and in
Juries are only one feature of the OBJ
jectionable score. It is only a question
OF time when the senseless noise will
also be divorced from these celebrations
Mayor Gaynor's act puts New York
well to the fore in the reform process
sion.

BOARD TROUBLED
BY CHICKEN LAWS
Commissioners Find 1t Hard

The former regulations. which limited
the activity of the fowls TO fifty feet
outside and twenty-five feet inside the

valid on the ground that they were DIS

Bourne'S S Dollar Smoke

IT'S something Of a compliment when
Senator Bourne asks a fellow 20 have
a cigar, as the Senator frequently does
1t IS said that the Senator has three
hobbies, oregon apples, mining stock
and 81 cigars.
He vies with J. Pierpont Morgan and
other magnates in the expensiveuess
Of the latter-named luxury. Senator
Bourne takes a smoke whenever he
feels like II, too, and inasmuch as ne
is not stingy in handing them around
among his friends upon favorable op-
II is a. bit staggering 10
contemplate what the cigar bill Of the
Oregon Senator is per annun1.
Some Senators do not smoke at all,
others manage TO get along somehow
with the fifteen TO ffty-cent brand, but
Senator Bourne so HIS friends say,
cannot really enjoy a smoke unless one
whole American dollar was spent for
It He wants the best.

VICTORY OF THE SOCIALISTS
IN MILWAUKEE,.

Social Democrats have won a sweep
ing victory in Milwaukee. They have
elected Emil Seidel. their candidate for
mayor, by 5000 plurality, the largest
plurality of any party in a similar con-
test IN the history of the city. More
than this, they control the common
council having elected all six aldermen
at,large, and carried fourteen out of
twenty-three wards
This means tha5 the city Of Milwau-
kee, so far as its municipal government
is concerned, Is in the control Of the
Socialists. For the leaders of the
Social Democrats are avowedly social
istic.
The platforms Of the Social Demo
Gratis, the Democrats, and the Republi-
cans in the campaign were similar
They advocated home rule, initiative
and referendum, and regulation of the
liquor traffic In view Of the similarity
of platforms the results of the election
must be interpreted as meaning that
the people of Milwaukee have more
confidence that the Social Democrats
will carry out their promises than they
had in either Of the old parties.
Frightened folks who take to their
cyclone cellars on hearing the word
socialist should not get unduly excited.
1t VIII be just as well to wait and
judge the Social Democrats of Milwau-
kee by the results Of their administra-
ton Victor L. Berger, one Of the most
prominent Socialists in America, the
leader OF his party in Milwaukee, him
self elected aIderman-at-large, SAYS:
This is the first time in the his
tory OF the country that the Social
democrats have carried a large
city. All l have to say at this
time is that the party viii give
Milwaukee the best admintstra-
uon II ever had or that any city
ever had A square deal for every
body viii be our aim.
The real test Of ,he Milwaukee So
cialIsts viii be when their administra-
ton is reckoned up and when IL is
found whether they have made good in
their promises to give the city a much
improved gov,rnment. 1t will be worth
while watching The course of thinps
under their regime.

A WOMAIl'S STRONG CONFI-
DENCE IN HER HUSBAND.

It seems beyond belief, but it is true
"a woman testifying publicly in court
actually praised her husband notwith-
standing that he had been named as CO.
respondent in a divorce case! Why
she told the lawyer who sought to cast
suspicion upon the husbands veracity.
in so far as his accounts to his wife of
his conduct were concerned, he was a
model.
my husband is very good to me and
if al husbands were like him, you
would have no work in this court" t" she
said. There would be no occasion for
divorces"
1t is dollars to pennies that the hus-
band involved regards his wife as 'the
best in the world,' for it is not every
wife whose loyalty to her husband and
confidence IN him withstand the severe
test which comes when a husband is
singled out as a correspondent. It is
not SO unusual for a woman TO be loyal.
Sometimes, under the most distressing
The Washington times., 1910-04-06

circumstances, she remains 90 because
that is the true feminine nature. Some
times, she is moved by her own dread
Of the expressed and implied taunts of
her friends. Or, she is loyal for her
children's sake.
But confidence in a husband Is a diff
ferent thing. A woman may be loyal
to all appearances and yet not have the
slightest confidence in her husband. Ac-
cording to the public records, most
women lose confidence when their part
ners are accused as correspondents. Even
the naming of a husband, regardless of
his guilt or innocence, is sufficient with
some women to make them turn against
the men with whom they entered into
a life contract
Thus, one woman, by her loyalty and
devotion to her husband, by her posi-
tive expression Of confidence in him, has
shown herself to be different-differep
from most women under similar crcun,-
stances.

CITIZENS MUST ANSWER
TRUTHFULLY THE CEN
SUS QUESTIONS.

According 10 custom, the taking of

Enumerators will 90 from house to
house, counting noses and asking ques-
tions. Many of these questions viii be
of the sort that some people regard a
decidedly impertinent; nevertheless. the
Government has right to know what
it seeks to find out and it is incumbent
upon every one to answer the inquiries
propounded.
This work Of the census enumerator
can be facilitated if all citizens will
realize the Importance of the statistics
compiled by the Government. 1t Is
vital that these shall be correct. for
only when they are so is it possible to
utilize them in making calculations and
deductions Of any value.
In previous census work the collec-
ton Of statistics has been hampered
and, in some cases, made useless. bv

tors Extra precautions have been
taken this year TO see that the can
vassers shall be Of the highest order.
1t is said, too, that the enumerators are
trained TO ask questions intelligentlv
and politely, and this, no doubt, Will
make it easier 10 get correct replies.

do its part.

Capital Tales
Chamberlain S Bank Failure.

SENAToR CHAMBERLAIN OF wash
ington, who recently made his first
extended spesch in Congress, on con-
servation. has reminded an old friend OF
Chamberlalns own experiments In con-
servation.
When Chamberlain was running for
the Senate" said this friend. 'the oppo-
sitlon went over his record with fine
tooth comb 10 find something Injurious
TO him. One day one Of the strikers
rushed In and announced that he had IT,.
chamberlain was president Of a bank
When he was a young man. II busted
and was a horrible wreck"
Dig II Up quick announced the cam
paign manager.
The story was looked and was true.
Ihe bank had failed. and there were al
most no assets.
Ihey were just ready TO put out the
story when an old friend Of Chamber
lain's came along and advised against
/ Won't do you any good" he insist
e1. Take my word for IT."
But the campaign managers had 10 do
Slmething, and so the story Of the bust
e' bank was given out and got due pub
hclty In ali the anti-Chamberlein papers
Next day the Chamberlain committee
gave out a statement signed by al the
directors ana a lot of depositors OF the
bank. It said:
II Is true that Mr.. Chamberlain was
president Of the bank when # failed
AT that time he was man OF some
property. He had never been actively
connected with the hank management,
ana when he learned that It was closed
ana hopeleSsly insolvent he tured over
MS entire property. and personally paid
al depositOrs."
Whereupon the Anti-Chamberlain peo-
PIE started hunting for a new roorback.
and when election day came the man
whose bank had failed inglorfousIy was
triumphantly elected Senator.
