THE death of Chief Justice Fuller
loses to the country its most prom
inent and possibly its ablest jurist.
Next to Chief Justice Marshall he
was probably the greatest justice
that has been known to the supreme
court bench of the United States.
In point of length ofservice he rank
ed next to Marshall, who was chief
justice for 81 years, and Chief Just
ice fancy, who held the Office for IS
years, Justice Fuller having been at
the head of the court for % years.
He rendered opinions in many ia
nous cases that marked epochs in
the Jurisprudence of the country.
He was a lifelong Democrat. His
successor, unless long established
precedent be broken, will be Re
publican, Of the party of the presi-
dent. There are now but two Dem
ocr~ts on the supreme court bench.
1t is barely possibly, but not proba-
bic that the president Will follow an
other precedent by appointing mem

DEMOCRATIC CHANCES GOOD.

With Governor Harmon leading
the ticket in Ohio, the Democrats
of the Buckeye state have more than
an even chance to win in the fall
election. That republicans realize
this fact is shown by the difficulty
that is experienced in finding really
capable candidate who is willing to
make the fight against Harmon.
There is reason for this. Harm
on has made good governor, he has
made good his promises to the people,
he has uncovered graft in the previo-
US republican admirations, he saved
hundreds Of thousands of dollars to
the state, and he has met with APP
proyal of the vast majority of tie
state, regardless of politics.
Despite the fact that the state is
normally strongly republican, this
promises to be another democratic
year in Oh:".-Huntington Ad-
vertiser.

be SO strongly worked that IFS result
is the reverse of that of the decline
in the price of wool, notwithstand-
ing tariff averaging so per cent, on
the raw material and 100 per cent,
on wooden clothing. Why this is
puzzling the CATERERS. The reason
is not far to seek. The excessive
price of wooden fabrics has compell-
ed the people to lessen their use and
the high price of the raw material
has driven manufactures to employ
cheaper substitutes. the demand
for the finished and unfinished pro-
duct decreased and consequently the
price has fallen. In this case the
law of supply and demand has oper-
ated, notwithstanding the artificial
restrictions sought to be put upon it.

there was nothing left of the Taft
Wickersham draft. Even should
the Senate remain Republican, of
which there may be reasonable doubt,
the coalition of the Democrats and
insurgents in that body would be
strong enough to carry through the
measures of the lower chamber.
Most of the active insurgents will
come back with the next session of
the Senate, while those two apostles

EDucNToRs bemoan the fact that
less than IS per cent OF the gradu-

He is better paid and in greater de-

Reddy Mack may have a few

There is a big difference in the
lineup of the different teams since
the West Virginia League went
under. All the teams in the V. V. 1
League secured one or more players
from them.
MulIencamp covers more ground
than any other first baseman seen on
the local grounds this season. The

can take three straights from the

would have been at League Park

fans were there just the same.
Not a man on the Huntington

TO TEST VALIDITY OF 20
PER CENT LAW

Secretary of State Frear Monday
asked of Attorney General Gilbert an
official opinion upon the question of
the validity of the amendment to the
primary election law which requires
that a political party shall cast at the
primary a number of votes equal to 20
per cent of the vote cast by the party
for governor at the last preceding
election. This action by Secretary
Frear is taken upon the application of
Chairman Davies of the Democratic
state central committee, who raises
objection that the law is unconstitu-
tional.
Chairman Davies is determined to
test the constitutionality of the law in
the supreme court, if necessary, but
he has thought that if the secretary of
state would call upon the legal depart
ment for an opinion, and should that
opinion be adverse to the statute, then
the secretary of state would certify
the names of the Democratic nominees
as candidates on the official ballot.
Should the attorney general hold the
act valid, Chairman Davies will bring
n petition to the supreme court, invok-
ing the original jurisdiction of that
tribunal and praying that the consti-
tutionality Of the Objectionable law be
determined without delay.

On the playground the child lives,
while in school he prepares to live.
That is why it is true that if you can
tell me how n child plays, | can tell
you how he will work That is why it
is true that more people go to the bad
through wrong play than through
wrong work; and why play ranks with
work, food and sleep as n necessary
part in the balanced life Of the child.
The playground is cheaper than the
reformatory; that is why il is as neces-
sary that children have adequate and
suitable play as that they have adequ-
ate and suitable schooling.
The play life of a people indicates
more than anything else its vitality,
morals, intelligence, and fitness to live.
