The Chief Justiceship.
From Law Notes Magazine.

| 1Ao6oSAAASs
President Taft seems to be having dill
Guilty in making up his mind regarding a
suitable successor to the tate Chief JUS
tice Fuller. First we hear that the new
est associate justice will succeed to the
vacancy. Then we hear that the plum,
II SO dignified a place can be called a
plum, will go to Senator Root. Again We
hear that the senior associate justice will
be allowed to round out his illustrious
judicial career as chief justice. Specu-
lation Is likely to exist for some time
longer, since Congress does not convene
till December, and the President is likely
to want suggestions up to the last mo-
ment. For our part, We think there is
very good reason for getting away from
the practice Of taking the Chief Justice
is true it has resulted in our having, at
least, efficient chiefs, but why should an
associate justice, who has gradually
worked his way to the seats Immediately
to the right or left Of the highest seat Of
honor, or to seat very near to that
highest seat, be not permitted to go there
on a vacancy occurring? Certainly he
knows the procedure of the court as no
newcomer could. Moreover, it is likely
that he has won the confidence OF his
considerable time. The fact that an asso-
ciate justice Of some years experience
on the bench is likely to be well adj
vanced in years, and that he would,
therefore, have a comparatively short
time in which to serve as head of the
court. seems small matter. Othe.
courts, notably in Massachusetts. have
been in the habit of advancing associate
judges to the position of chief justice,
and the practice has been attended with
excellent results. We suggest to the
President the establishment of q new
order whereby a lawyer appointed to
the Supreme Court of the United States
as an associate justice does not thereby
ruin his chances for ever becoming its
Chief Justice.

One Of Our Bad Appetites.

Gov.-elect Woodrow Wilson, with his
customary aptitude. put his finger exactly
on one defect Of our national character in
his address at Trenton Thursday. when
he spoke of our appetite for legisla-
ton" We are ever craving new laws
Against every real or fancied grievance
the ordinary citizen looks for protection
by some law. If there is not an effective
one in existence he demands a new one
Our legislative sessions p. oduce yearly
thousands Of proposed new laws in print
ed form. Too many Of these are pla,e
on the statute books. Too many of our
laws are, inevitably, dead letters. A de-
mocracy needs few laws and good ones.
Our appetite for legislation is a national
malady, which education may cure In
time. 1t will be the wonder Of future
ages that republic established in p o.
test against bad laws should form the
habit Of making SO many futile, obiec-
tionable and preposterous laws and cling
to it. Let us try to conquer our appetite.

Cuban campaign in calling the militia
forces to the colors, in forming regi-
mental and brigade organisations in Off
cering the forces, but above all, In pro-
visioning and equipping the thus expand
ed army. The confusion that reigned at
all the camps Of organization should
have taught q permanent lesson to Con-
gress. and the country has since then
been under the impression that the ex-
periences Of the Spanish and Philippine
wars were applied in the subsequent re-
organization Of the military forces.
Now Gen. Wood sets forth that the
country is unprepared for war. that there
are many serious defects in the service.
that there is urgent need Of a reserve Of
100000 men capable of immediate in
stallation as a practical fighting force,
that the War Department is at this time
sadly deficient in reserved supply Of field
artillery and ammunition for both the
field and coast artillery. 1t will take
more than fifty years at the present rate
of appropriations to secure a reasonable
supply Of ammunition for the coast de-
lenses. and a still longer time to obtain
a proper supply of field artillery guns,
carriages and ammunition.
These facts should awaken Congress
promptly to a realization of the situation.
1t is the most wanton waste to maintain
a skeleton military force that cannot be
used for the purpose for which it exists,
namely that Of serving as the effective
military nucleus In an emergency. We
should either throw ourselves frankly
upon a peace basis and depend wholly
upon our cleverness to meet situation
which may cost many thousands OF lives
before we work up to the point Of resist
ing a fully equipped professional army
of invasion-or else pursue the business
like course of spending money intelli-
gently in effective preparation for con-
tingency which may arise at any time.
If we feel assured that the United States
is permanently immune from molestation
from without we should dismantle our
coast defenses and reduce our navy to the
minimum Of International social require
ments. AS long as the possibility of
war with a foreign power exists 1t is
our bounden duty to make ready.

Lights on Vehicles.

To light or not to light-that is the
question. The Commissioners decision
that all horse-drawn vehicles must carry
lights has aroused a storm, and the argu-
ments for and against the necessity for
such a regulation are flying fast and
thick. There can be no question OF the
need of regulation requiring vehicles OF
all sorts, whether drawn by horses. dogs
or goats, to carry lights when on the
roads outside Of the city and on the park
drives. An unlighted vehicle on such I'M
lighted or dimiy lighted road Is men
ace to life and property. The necessity
for lights on all horse-drawn vehicles on
the lighted city streets is not so clear, and
the records of the police department do
not give sufficient data to make the Com
missioners' position in issuing their sweep
ing requirement at all strong. There are
no figures available showing how many
accidents might have been avoided IL We
hicles had been lighted, or, In fact, show
ing in any detail the nature of the acct
dents. During the year there were re-
ported 211 accidents Of a serious nature
due to vehicles of one sort or another,
and thirty deaths. OF the serious acct
dents forty-seven were charged up to mo-
tor vehicles, nine to steam railroads,
ninety-one to street railways and sixty
four to other vehicles. 1t is safe to as
sumo that the great proportion Of these
sixty-four accidents charged up to horse
drawn vehicles were due to runaways. II
there were any due to the absence of
lights on horse vehicles on the city streets
the fact has not been disclosed, and until
some positive facts Of this character are
produced the requirement calling for
lights on horse-drawn vehicles. travelling
on such streets as Pennsylvania or Mas
sachusetts avenues, would be a needless
annoyance and expense to merchants and
citizens. The wise course would be, at
the present time, to put in force regula-
ton requiring lights on all vehicles travel
ing the country or park roads, and leave
the requirements for lighted city streets
to be decided after a complete investiga-
ton of the subject. There should be posi-
tive evidence Of the necessity for includ-
ing the lighted city streets in the order
before it is promulgated.

Mr.. Cannon has arrived. in good health
and good humor. Why should the spirit
of such a veteran be cast down? what
has he not seen of varying political
fortunes In his thirty-six years OF almost
continuous congressional service? The
victors Of today, the vanquished OF to-
morrow. SPECIFIC party promises broken,
sometimes with, and sometimes without, a
reason. Party promises kept, and yet the
legislation redeeming them sore dlsap-
pointment to the country. Leaders ap-
pear, and disappear. Prophecies In cir
culation by the hundreds, some absurdly
wild, and some fairly near the mark.
The country prosperous, and then again
Door and in distress. The wheel turns
many times in third Of a century, and
shows many different things.
Take the tariff alone. Mr.. Cannon has
seen a so-called tariff commission, COM
posed of able men, plunge into the whole
tariff subject, make an elaborate report
to Congress, and yet nothing come Of Its
labors. He has seen Mr.. Carlisle defeat
Mr.. Randall for Speaker, and then Mr..
Randall defeat Mr.. Carlisle on the floor
of the House, on the revenue tariff idea.
He has seen Mr.. Cleveland put forward
preted as a free trade deliverance, and
in six months, through representatives at
a national convention. try to withdraw
it. He has seen the democracy win both
Congress and the presidency on an anti
protection platform, and yet two years
later enact a tariff law crammed with
protective duties.
Landsiides? Mr.. Cannon can recall
1874. when the day went against the re-
publicans; 1880, when the democrats were
worsted; 1880, when again the republicans
were overwhelmed; and 1894, when the
long lease Of republican power, now to
end, began.
1t is the old story with so old politi-
clan. Now we go up. up, up, and now
we 60 down, down, down. Because We
are up today is no cause for reckless
jubilation. Tomorrow may find us down.
And because we are down today is no
cause for extreme depression. Tomorrow
may find us up.
Mr.. Cannon seems not disturbed about
his place in the next House. Why should
he be? That question will be settled In
due time. 1t could not be an inconspicu-
GUS place, even IL his opponents OF both
the majority and the minority desired
such thing. His ability and long ex-
perience will find opportunity for exer-
else And as soon as he lays down
the savel. his personal popularity, which
has long been notable, will become a
factor in his favor.

The Executive and the Legislature

The Executive and the Legislature.
Gov.-e Dix is being complimented
on his delfverance respecting the rela-
tons Of an executive to legislation. He
thinks they do not properly extend be-
yond Recommendation. and as Governor
Of New York he will so govern himself.
He will describe in messages such meas
ures as he thinks the legislature should
write on the books. and then await the
result He will not use the influence of
his ONCE to force anything through that
body.
The correct view Of the matter, but one
that will tax him in the observance il he
succeeds in observing it. He will find
that pressure will be exerted to induce
him to take hand in q pinch.
Suppose President Cleveland had pur-
sued such a course in the matter Of the
repeal Of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman silver act. He would never have
secured that legislation. His message to
Congress had dealt with the subject fully
and most earnestly. but Congress was
unmoved. 1t was evident at once that
something further must be done. and a
'.judicious use" Of patronage was sug-
gested. Mr.. Cleveland fell in with the
idea, and patronage accomplished what
would otherwise have failed. Twelve
months later he tried the same means

President Taft has been censured for

His opponents have held that he should

what he wanted. He stood upon his mes
sage. In that, in general terms. he had
interpreted the republican tariff promise.
and he would add to his message neither
bullying nor cajolement. The bill passed
was not wholly acceptable to him. but 1t
was the work Of Congress uninfuenced
| by him in any way outside Of his consti-
| tutional duty. His choice was between
