SUBSTANTIAL PROSPERITY.
From the ST. Louis Times.

From the 81. Louis Times.
according 10 a special despatch from
Minnesota. the farmers OF that State
have assembled still another step in then
progress toward substantial prosperity.
Time was when the sewing machine
in the farm kitchen was & sign OF fru-
gaIity and hard work The cottage or
gan had its days 10 be succeeded by the
piano. Then the cnmax-both as an
Industrial index and as material for
the humorous writer's and the pert
paTagraphers-came when the farm
er bought an automobile. II is even
rumored that so many farmers bought
automobiles that there was organized a
society In New York 10 work against the
automobile manufactures on the ground
that they were getting more than their
share OF the loose money lying around.
But the Minnesota farmer has suddenly
Jumped far IN advance OF the automo-
bile Now he is buying banks.
II money IS a profitable commodity for
one man 20 handle. II must be profitable
for others-If they know how 20 handle
II. From ST. Paul comes an account Of
how scores OF small banks are taking
root in the towns which are not much
more than centers from which group
Of towns radiate, and the deposits In these
are said TO run up into the hundreds OF
thousands.
They bring returns on their capital OF
from to % per cent; and the story IS
made further enlivening by the statement
that 30 per cent OF these banks is owned
by farmers.
Verify, the ancient story founded upon
bucolic woes and heavy mortgages on
the farms has lived its day.

Vaccination and Other Regulations.

The sooner the compulsory vaccination
law is tested the better for the commu-
nifty and the schools. and we are pleased
TO see that definite steps are being taken
in this direction.
If there is to-day a valid, wholesome
need OF such a law in city so clean and
well kept as Washington. and which has
not in years been the least threatened
with smallpox epidemic. we are unable to
see it, But If IL be irrevocable as IL
stands. that fact should be established
at the earliest possible moment. Then
relief from 1t can be sought from Con
gress.
II is oppressive enough upon those
parents who will not permit the vaccina-
ton OF their children and are compelled
to turn 10 private schools; TO parents who
resist the practice. but whose children
must be inoculated or go uneducated, it
is a positive hardship and wrong.
If it now develop that the parent
who keeps his child out Of the public
school through fear of vaccination is sub
jecting himself to punishment under the
compulsory education law. and if it be
the policy of the authorities conJointly TO
enforce both laws. then the situation will
be oppressive and trying indeed II Is
difficult 10 believe that rational VAGINA
tionists themselves. represented by the
medical fraternity outside the health Of
fee, favor or eountenance the extreme
measures or policy now, apparently. about
10 be inaugurated
. In this connection II is pertinent 20
, add that Washington is overregulated
all the time and in all directions. Yet.
owing to the high and intelligent charac-
ter OF It's population in the main, It stands
| less in need of regulation than any other
city OF its size Not content with con-
stantly increasing the number OF regula-
tions-few Of which make for tho COM
munity's well-dOing, health, or happiness
| there is tendency TO enforce these all
but useless regulations in the most har-
assing way conceivable. Thus they
| become doubiy obnoxious and disturbing.
as We have already said. the sooner
this compulsory vaccination law Is tested,
and tested finally. the better for every
/ body.

Judicial Appointments.

Political influence has had no weight
with the present administration in the
filing of judicial positions.
A lawyer and a former member Of one
OF the highest tribunals. the President
is qualified in exceptional degree TO make
appointments 10 the bench. and it is
doubtful whether even his Cabinet is
consulted in connection Herewith.
In the case Of Mr., Justice Lurton, IT
IS known that powerful outside influence,
if not influence close 10 the administra-
ton. sought 10 dissuade Mr. Taft from
naming a iurIst from the South and a
Democrat but il was futile. and the wis
dom of the choice was quickly seen and
demonstrated
The call 10 Gov. Hughes 10 ill a place
on the Supreme Bench though natural
one. and suggesting itself Immediately
when that particular vacancy occurred,
was due. nevertheless, 10 the President
himself and his own good judgment.
Knowing the New Workers. pre-eminent
attain-aents as a lawyer and having had
him in mind as the type Of man suited
for the highest tribunal OF the land. there
was no occasion for the President 10
pause or look elsewhere. He made a
tender Of the position without delay and,
10 the surprise and qualification OF the
country it was accepted.
The political effect OF this appointment
was not weighed or given any considera-
ton whatever.
And so 1t has been with all his judicial
appointments; so it should always be
under every administration.
AS other vacancies on the bench OF the
United states Supreme Court are 10 be
filed it is well for the nation that they
are 10 be filed by such a President as
Taft.
The Chief Jusuceship is now. Of course,
receiving the largest amount Of attention
from the press. That wise choice will
be made of a jurist TO succeed the great
and lamented Fuller is safely TO be taken
for granted. What the President has
done heretofore IS abundant assurance
that he Will make no mistake in the
highest appointment that has yet fallen
10 his hands. Should his cnoice be Asso-
ciate Justice Harlan, as recent report IA:
indicated. executive wisdom viii be dis

Emigration from Ireland.

Mr.. T. 2. O'COnnor is on his way 10
this country in an effort TO raise addi-
tionaI funds TO aid the cause Of Ireland 81
freedom. Whatever be the opinion as 70
the desirability Of ireland being freed
from British rule, there can be no ques-
ton that something is radically wrong
with a country that shows such a steady
and growing emigration from It's shores
SO serious has become the depOpulatiOn
OF ireland that legislative checks have
been devised. but so far without effect
Il is estimated that II the present rate
OF emigration keeps up no less than 80 600
people viii leave Ireland this year. This
exceeds by 1900 the high record for Irish
emigration made in 1903.
Right after 1908 emigration fell off
rapidly because Of the belief that the
British parliament was about 10 pass acts
making life in Ireland more attractive.
but these hopes faded, and though Ire
lands prospects for justice from England
were never more attractive than they
are at present. emigration is now largely
on the increase
One Of the causes why life IN Ireland
IS so unsatisfactory 10 the Irish lies in
the land laws. which. in spite of ell that
England has been able 10 do, are still
mighty unsatisfactory. Then. too. the
natural industries Of Ireland are in
poor way. Agriculture does not amount
to much. and there are few manufac-
lures. Ireland has a generous supply Of
iron ore, sufficient. If conditions were
right, 10 make her wealthy. but she lacks
coal and wood, without which II cannot
be developed. In seeking TO reform her
land-holding system, Ireland seems TO
have failed When large holdings ofaland
were taken away from the landlords and
broken up into smaller farms tillage less
ened instead Of increasing. Political So
clal, and religious conditions were oner-
Gus. and in spite OF the oft-iterated cry
OF ireland for the irish the people them
selves seem 10 want to set out.
Since the year lSn Ireland has never
shown a single yearly increase in popu-
lation. In that year began the great tide
OF emigration which has steadily In
