Big Job to Fill the Supreme Bench

In addition to judicial fitness, poll
tics and geographical qualifications
must be considered. Moreover, the
president is brought face to face with
a task which will be Of tremendous
Importance to the United States for
the next generation. With political
beliefs changing over night and great
er zeal in governmental supervision
being urged by the dominant party,
the court which President Taft must
reconstruct will pass on all the
changes in the organic laws Of the
United States which may be made by
congress.
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
heels in the consideration of the ap-
pointment Of five additional judges of
the circuit court, which will constitute
the new court of commerce. In addi-
ton to these judicial vacancies there
are several district judges to be ap-
pointed. 1t is no stretch of the
imagination to believe that the pres
ident will almost reorganize the fed
eral judiciary before he leaves the
presidents office.

WASHINGTON.- two years
W hence If passengers on steamers
entering Manila harbor and passing be-
tween the several small islands that
guard the principal port of the Philip
pines should inquire with Indifferent
interest as to the name and use of a
small dun-colored rock, hardly discern
ible any distance away and looking
much like an irregular shaped house
boat floating on the ocean, they will be
told that they are looking at Ell Fraile
Island. Perhaps, also, they will be told
that the little island, scarce two hun
dred feet square, is the most diaboli-
cally effective fertilization of it's size
In the world.
For eighteen months army engineers
have been directing the work of forti-
tying what is intended as the backbone
or keystone of the strong defenses in
Manila harbor. They have resorted to
plan suggested by young engineer
officer after their superiors had thrown
up their hands in despair at the pros
poets of attempting to fortify the rock
which showed its head above the water
for SO small an area. 1t involves the
leveling of the island almost to the sur
face of the sea and erecting a struc-
ture in the form of battleship deck
stripped for action. The artificial foTtt-
flying will be of steel and cement

Society Soldier Out at Fort Myer

Myer created the biggest sensation
the army has had for long time. He
tried to get into West Point, but was
barred by age, and from the naval
academy because of his size. Then
he enlisted in the cavalry, but that
did not suit his liking and he trans
ferred into the signal corps. where
he was promoted to be a corporal.
At Fort Myer the dude soldier was
the envy of his comrades and a par
ticular bore to his officers. After. a
hard days drill, or the attendance on
some other military duty, Corporal
Myer would go to his bachelor apart
ments, have his valet rub him down
and then don the habiliments of a
society man. That night, perhaps, his
commanding officers would find him
in the same ballroom with themselves.
He had the entree into the most ex-
elusive clubs, and it was a source of
much regret to Colone! Haversack
and Major Canteen that Private Myer
took precedence over them when it
came to getting, the attention of the
walters.
The youngster rode and walked with
the fairest of Washington's bellies, and
had money to burn. He never did
anything to excite the anger OF his
superiors except to play the dual role
of a soldier and dandy, too.

Treasury Building Is Overcrowded

building, plans for which were drawn
by William T. Elliott, a surveyor, who
came to Washington in 1913.
The 80 granite monoliths, each of
which cost $500 and weighs 80 tons,
now stand in an unbroken row. They
are said to be the finest example of
their kind Of the stonecutter's art. 1t
required ten men, working 60 days. to
produce each of them, and solid train
of 80 fat cars brought them to Wash
ington from the quarries in Massachu-
sets.

ing all the files of letters and docu-
ments will be stored in the old coal
vaults under the lawn on the Pennsyl-
vania avenue side, and new coal vaults
are being built on the side opposite the
White House.
The completed building, as it stands,
represents three stages of construction.
The nucleus, located by Jackson, was
finished in 1912. The south wing was
finished in 1864. The north wing, fin
ished in 1859, is on the side of the old
state department building.
The long colonnade of brown stone.
erected in 1864, deteriorated in the
southern climate and was replaced by
the present granite rsSooliths little

The Seven Worst Sermons.

AS one surveys the field OF pulpit

his subject is to be handled with any
high order of justice, he must dispos'
sess himself of the personal equation
Among the 81 sermons he was priv.
legged to hear last year, there may
have been 40 which he disliked, which
bored him or failed to produce f1ut'
tering Of conscience, but these OF
themselves are not sufficient reasons
for bestowi9g upon any Of the 40 the
sinister distinction we have in mind.
They may have been stupid sermons,
badly written, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
sermons, uninteresting, modifying, I'M
inspiring, un-anything which a sermon
may be, and perhaps generally is; but
they were Just meager, or common
place, or tiresome sermons, no more
nor less, certainly not Of an order OF
demerit to rank among the seven. For
to have won the distinction Of badness
in supreme degree, a discourse, like
person, must have violated one Of
the fundamental laws of goodness, and
have clashed somehow with the eternal
verities.- William Austin Smith, IN At

ALBERT ]. MYER, the American
IA armys 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.

dandy soldier sudden and unexpected,

the signal corps, has been in the
guardhouse since August. A recent
verdict of a 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 present barnlike quarters, Mann
moth cave will come into its own
again.
However, there are many obstacles
that will have to be overcome before
this can be brought about. When
Doctor Croghan, the owner, died in
1S49, he left the entire Mammoth cave
estate, consisting of nearly 5000
acres, in the hanCs Of trustees for
the benefit Of his nine nephews and
nieces, with the proviso that when
they should all be dead the trustees
should sell the estate at public auc-
ton. Five of the heirs are still alive.
and although the youngest is seventy
two, it may be many years before the
provisions of the will can be carried
out. At public auction the Louisville
G Nashville railroad probably would
be the purchaser, for already it owns
practically all the land around the
cave, and for long time it has been
known that the railroad would like to
get it to boom it's traffic. The rail-
road and the trustees have been at
loggerheads FOR years, with the re-
suit that the road makes no effort to
stimulate traffic. The trustees of the
estate do not spend any money in adj
vertising the cave or for improve
ments. They are content to get what
revenue they can from admissions to
the cavern and from the hotel.
Representative Thomas declares the
government could step in and buy the
cave despite the Croghan will, which
provides for its sale only at public
auction, and then only when the last
heir shall have passed away. II he
can get sufficiently large appropria-
tion-probably s1,OOO,OOO, for the tim
Der on the land is worth $4,000
the government can have the estate
appraised and pay the appraisal price
to the trustees. His idea Is to have
the federal authorities improve the
estate and make the cave once more
a famous show place. The thousands
of persons who have visited the cave
in earlier days, who have seen its
wonderful stalagmites, who have
sailed on its Echo river and who
have sat in the star chamber, will
sympathize with him and his plan.
And unless his plan be carried out
in the near future the cave will be abb
solutely forgotten except in it's imme-
date vicinity. The guides and the
people who live near the cave love it.
and they are looking forward to the
time when under government control
hundreds of visitors will arrive daily
to see it's wonders as they did In the
good old days "befo' de wah."

THE seven justices Of the Supreme
/ court of the United States, led by
the venerable Justice Harlan, called
on President Taft the other day to pay
their respects. This annual call Of
courtesy reminded the president of
duty which is uppermost in his mind
and occupying it almost to the ex-
clusion of any other consideration, for
the president is called upon to re-
model the highest tribunal in the land.
The president has appointed two
justices already-Hughes in place Of
Brewer, who died, and Lurton in place
of Peckham of New York, also dead.
These deaths removed Republican
and a Democrat, and their successors
were of the same political faith.
Since then Chief Justice Fuller,
Democrat, appointed from Illinois, has
died, and Justice Moody, a Republic
an, of Massachusetts,, has resigned
because of ill-health. and President
Taft will have to fill these two va
cancieS.
