Chief Justice Fuller Dead

Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller, OF
the U. S. Supreme Court, who was APP
pointed by President Cleveland in 1885,
died on the Fourth, aged n years.
Only two men exceeded him in length
of service. They were John Marshall
and Roger B. fancy.
He was appointed as a Democrat,
but his decision against the income lax
law, declaring it unconstitutional, after
income taxes had been constitutional
for eighty years; his decision tlata man
can put all his money in life insurance
for the benefit of other and let his cred
itors go without pay; his decision that
labor unions are amendable to the Sher-
man antitrust law and that the Stand
ard Oil Company could not be fined nor
the Sugar Trust be dissolved by it; his
defence of Imperialism in the Philip
pines; and his minority in defence OF
the Northern Security case against he
Government do not SAVIOR much OF de-
mocracy, except it be Of the Grover
Cleveland brand, which is spurious.
One of the great issues of the last
presidential campaign was to insure a
safety and sane(?) Supreme Court.
President Taft has already appointed
one man., Horace FL. LurtOn, to the
Supreme Court. He considered the
rights of property more sacred than the
sights of man, and was credited as a
democratic appointment. Governor
Hughes was appointed last spring and
his outspoken opposition to an income
tax stamped him as safe. Hughes will
probably be made Chief Justice and the
present Solicitor General, Lloyd w.
Bowers, one of the leading railroad
lawyers, a personal friend of President
Taft, is most prominently mentioned
for the Supreme Court.
The Philadelphia Record classes Judge
Lurton as a Republican-democrat.
Judge Fuller was one also, and there
are others.
President Taft can be safely trusted
to put sane men on the Supreme Court
who will uphold imperialism, bloated
fortunes and incorporate wealth.

Wonderful Scenes in Colorado
Leadville, Colo, June rs, 1910.

Friend SUMMERILL:


FRIEND SUMMERILL:
l send you word in regard to my third
trip. While writing this 1 am sitting in
the Delaware hotel, Leadville, over two
miles up toward the sky, in the highest
city in America and amid the greatest
gold proposition either in Colorado or
California
l left Denver at eight o'clock on the
morning of the 23d, on the California and
Los Angeles express limited, and arrived
at Leadville at Las. By appointment l
met w. II. Campbell, high sheriff of Lead
vile and Lake county, Colorado. I am his
guest for a few days. The first thing he
did was to take me to his private office,
where we had a quiet chat. Then hetook
me down to the Jail and ordered the jailor
to lock me up. He did so and after | had
sized up the Jail Thirds | was in company
with l told him l had enough. l had
the honor of being the only Jerseyman
who was ever locked up in Leadville i'll
less than one noun after arriving there.
Mr.. Campbell is the leading townsman
and a perfect gentleman, who is held in
high esteem by the citizens of Leadville.
Before supper he took me to the Califor-
MIA Gulch, the first mine openedin Lead
vile. He asked me if l did not have a
good newspaper friend at home, and l
told him 1 certainly had in you. He
took nae to a piece of property belonging
to an old lady, which can not be bought.
He told me to take a large handful oftbat
stuff and send it to Mr.. Summerill as a
souvenir. 1t is something he will never
be able to get unless he pays us a visit.
1t is the pure stuff before going to the
smelter to have the gold and other mat
ter extracted.
He unlocked the court house safe and
showed me the three nooses which hung
the murderers in 1885.
1 passed through the Royal Gorge on
Thursday and stopped over night at Sa-
Ida. left next morning at $50 aud
vent over Marshall Pass and through the
Black Canyon of the Gunnison for six
teen miles. There is no scenery like that
on the globe. The mad roaring waters
make their way to the Pacific Ocean on
one side and ON the other to the Atlantic
Ocean.
All trains have special observation cars
alta ched at the rear and the scenery was
so grand that all sat spellbound. This
was the most delightful scenery in all my
travels.
l will have more samples Of pay dirt
for you. What l get are no fakes. They
are taken with my own hands right on
the ground and / am covering plenty OF
it. No man in the country is seeing
more than l.
Monday morning l start through all the
large mining tunnels in and around Lead
vile. There are miles and miles of them
to go through. l will then 60 to Cripple
Creek, thence to Pueblo, Colorado Springs
and Pixies Peak. The Sheriff goes with
me on this trip. He and l are old chums.

How to Swim

IocTtdIlOu.
You can learn to swim in a day. Ii
you are particularly well adapted for the
sport you may learn it i'll a single lesson.
1 will be your self-appointed teacher, and
so let us 60 right in for a swim. AS my
pupil you must do as | say and do moth
ing else. Don't look down into the water.
Look ahead and out; that removes timid-
ity. The depth is now well above your
waist, which les that there's plenty OF
of water to float your body. Some peo-
pie think a few inches of water over the
breech will float them. Now strsighten
your body. That's it. Throw your head
ell back. Keep it there while | put you
in the floating position. This is done.
You are floating now-why? Because
every part of your body, head, arms, feet
and trunk is partly submerged and thus
supported by water. To show you what
this means we will make an experiment.
Just try to look at your toes and down
you'll go,
From the position of floating fling your
self over SO that your left side faces the
bottom. Dig in with right hand as far as
you can reach in a straight line with your
body. Move up this "oar" hand into
position, with the palm toward the body
and close enough to touch it. From your
elbow to your finger tips the right arm is
submerged during this stroke, which
covers generally two-thirds the length of
the body, starting right below the nose
and finishing almost over the knee.
While the right hand goes forward to
make the stroke, the left hand is just
reaching forward with the palm pointing
to the bottom. This "reaching'' of the
left arm must he correctly done, as all the
"foating in motion" falls OH the palm at
that moment. On account of the palm
being put forward arms length it covers
almost water enough for floating the whole
body above the waist, and this is impor-
tant, as the head must be continually
above water during a properly executed
side-stroke. The leg action is practically
the same as when swimming on the back,
only more attention must be paid to the
''jack-knife" trick to get a good action.
In getting ready to strike, the knees
should be brought well forward rather
than outward. AS your right hand is
about to 60 back with its stroke, the right
knee ought to almost touch the elbow.

Democrats Appeal to Fort

Governor Fort has received an open
letter from the Democratic members OF
the New Jersey Legislature urging him
to call a special session in order that a
public utilities law may be passed that
will give the State Railroad Commission
rate-making power. The minority
members referred to themselves as the
elected representatives of more than
1000, 600 constituents and promised in
the event of a special session 10 vote for
a comprehensive public utility bill and
to make the session as brief as possible.
Governor Fort has decided not to call
a special session of the Legislature to
add a rate-making clause to the Public
Utilities law.

For the Fourth of July

In stress OF war, our fathers died
To give this land of freedom birth.
Though anguish left them h~eavy-eyed
Our mothers bore the loss with pride;
But only children yet to be
Shall know this nations fullest worth.
And we who love her fields of wheat,
Her corn-clad prairies and her hills
By giant fingers ranged, her sweet
Untainted streams,-how can we meet
Her need to-day, when each warm heart
10 fight her later battles thrills?
Not for us all the hero's grave,
Flag wrapped. the bullets bloody way
OF service; yet for those who crave
A chance to serye,-she needs the brave
Who guard her honor by each act,
And by their lives make proud her day.

Life.

imperfect knowledge in many subjects.
The following resolutions covering this

Criticism is general in almost every

practical and professional people, and
particularly by newspapers, which I'M

too numerous and too complex for them

Tariff Graft to be Democratic Issues

Defining the issues, upon which it ex-
poets to conduct its campaign this fall,
the Democratic congressional committee
has issued its first official pronuncia-
mentO since the opening of its head
quarters in Washington. 1t was signed
by Representative Lloyd, of Missouri,
the chairman, and sets fort that its
issues will be:
"Tariff and its consequences, the ex-
tr%avagant expenditures, wrOngdoings of
officials, graft that is shown to exist in
nearly every government branch and the
autocratic ruling of the majority patty"
1t is contended that these will all be
factors Tin bringing about a democratic
victory in November.
The committee announced that in
addition to headquarters in Washington
they. will open one inChicago on Aug. i;
that its campaign book will be ready
for the Democratic spellbinders the lat.
teT part Oh July, and that the committee
will wage a vigorous contest, in conf
dent expectiOn of the election of a
Democratic House of Representatives
in November.
That conditions are generally very
favorable to the democrats is asserted
by the committee, which declares that
the work of the administration and of
congress during the last two months
improved democratic prospects. The
statement asserts that no one need
think that there is any hope in uniting
republican factions and that the repub-
lican party is seriously divided and must
remain 50 until after the November
election.
