CONGRATULATIONS

Justice Harlan. of the Federal SUI
preme Court, celebrated his seventy
seventh birthday day before yesterday,
and he deserved the congratulations of
the country. The oldest Justice In
years, he is the Oldest also in service,
and has been on the bench of the su-
preme Court since 1877. lie has wit
messed many changes in the personnel
of the Court and he has participated In
many famous decisions; but he is rs
he was when President Hayes appoint
ed him to the bench.
When man accepts a judicial ap-
polntment In this country usage pre-
scribes that he participate no more In
public life. and hence he is generally
forgotten By the people. He ceases to
be an individual, in the popular estima-
ton. and becomes a part Of a great
judicial machine. His views are no
longer the views of an able lawyer and
greater thinker, but the views of a
court, voiced by the majority and sane
toned by the laws of the land. JUS
tice Harlan has not altogether escaped
this glorious Justification, so to speak,
and he has not been prominently be-
fore the people: but to thdse who have
watched his career and studied his
opinions, his judicial work has been
inspiring. Few of his colleagues pos
sess deeper knowledge of the law
and few have chung more tenaciously
than he to those fundamental princi-
pies upon which the Government is es-
tablished.
Congratulations. Mr. Justice. May
you hold your place in the affection
of your colleagues and in the esteem
of all lawyers until the Judge becomes
the appellant in the Great Court. and
may you there hear a verdict in your
favor.

American people. So sure are they
that wooden nutmegs turn to gold In
their hands that they always point
morals from their experience and
show how the thrifty New Highlander
can make a fortune where the South
erf1 man would lose money. II this
does the North any good, 1t certainly
does the South no harm, even IL the
stories circulated at the North are
generally painted up a bit to excite
the envy Of the ignorant South.
Just at this time there is story
going the rounds which has attracted
the attention of the Louisville Courier
Journal, which is old enough TO know

New England before girls have reach
cd the full bloom of beauty in Vir-
ginia,--had more ambition than money,
and had desire to live on a farm
She went to the state Agricultural
College for three years, was grad
uated in due course. and then bought
five acres of farm land. on this she
raised garden truck which she hauled
to market herself and sold. She
earned $3.50 from her years venture
and hopes before another season closes
to be making 5000 the acre from her
farm.
This is very nice story and is
probably true one, but why it should
be hawked around the country as q
model experience, we do not know
Here in Virginia, there are many self
respecting farmers who would blush
with shame IL they had to confess that
years farming on five acres brought
no more than $3.50. There is one man,
for example, living in Virginia to-day,
who made SLIGO in one season from
lettuce raised on single acre. and
there arc other men, all over the State,
who have found that $500 the acre is a
comparatively small return from their
truck lands. II we were to tell in
cold figures exactly how much some
of our farmers who plant sweet pota-
toes or raise watermelons make on a
single acre, rural Massachusetts would
soon be depopulated and the young
woman in question would immigrate
to this Happy land within week.
Still. her experience is an object les
son after all, though not precisely as
it appears on its face. 1t proves what
determination will do in spite of diff
culties, for it must be remembered
that the courageous New England girl
tried to farm on those rock-ribbed
Massachusetts barren acres. If she
succeeded there, no man should dare
look his neighbor in the face who can
not make a fortune from the fertile
fields of old Virginia.

WHITE ELEPHANT DETECTIVE

Louisville newspapers express very
little hope that the murderer of Alma
Kcllner will ever be captured. He has
been missing since January, they rca-
son, and has a long start of the police.
Knowing that the body of the little
child he murdered at the altar would
be found sooner or later, he naturally
moved rapidly and has probably settled
where he will not be suspected of the
brutal murder in Kentucky.
In its despair of capturing the man
on whose hands is the blood of the
innocent. the Louisville press is asking
why the police allowed the murderer to
get such long start of them. Why,
they say, could not the detectives have
found the body or the clothing of.the
murdered child in January instead Of
Mag, and why did they fail to search
the church where the child had gone to
worship? The police are silent before
their critics. and have not yet been
able to show that they searched the
sacristy of st. Johns at any time after
the murder They did not do it. That
is all they have to say.
Apparently this is another case of
white elephant detective work, not un-
like that which the beloved Mark
Twain satirized in New York. The po-
lice were possessed of the idea that
the child was kidnapped. though the
motive for stealing the child of poor
parents was asked at the time, and
they followed this idea to the eXclu-
sion of all else. They searched the
town, they sent out circulars describ-
ing the child, and, if we recall corr
rectly, they arrested a number of per-
fectly innocent persons on suspicion.
Little Alma had been kidnapped. The
police had decided it.
The chances are that the detective
force of New York would have done
the same thing and would have made
the same mistake: so the Louisville
police should not take the matter too
much to heart. Still, if the tragedy
serves to emphasize the necessity OF
| common sense detective work, the child
Will not have died in vain. After all
murderers are ordinary mortals
and generally men of limited
intelligence They should not be
pursued on the principle that
they are superhuman. and they should
not be given credit for the ingenuity
of tho devil and the cunning OF the
Prince of Demons.
