Recognizing the Supreme Court.

EN1 PERHAPS NO OTHER action of President
IRI Taft will be more far-reaching in its results
e8J than his appointment of Supreme Court
Justices. In this country neither the President
nor the House nor the Senate has more power
than the Supreme Court. In England the courts
have no right to set aside an act of Parliament
as unconstitutional, but here in America any act
Of Congress is effective only by sufferance of our
Supreme Court. However high the character Of
the judges, their natural bias and sympathy,
whether they are more interested in human rights
or in property rights, must have tremendous,
even II unconscious. influence upon their de-
cisons. But little while ago Judge Peckham
OF New York. died and the President named as
his successor Judge Lurton, OF Tennessee. Judge
Lurton is man whose decisions have seemed to
lay emphasis property rights rather than on
human rights. Now the President is to name
successor to Judge Brewer who died suddenly
last week, and this appointment will be watched
with much interest to see If the same policy Is
followed And in view of the age and inhrmities
OF some other judges it is not unlikely that Pres-
dent Taft's appointments may virtually reorganize
the court for a generation to come.

Roosevelt is contributing editor says this in about
so many words; and the disappointment was strik-
ngly illustrated in the recent Congressional cleo
ton in Massachusetts when a Republican ma
Jority of $4,000 in 1908 was changed to Demo-
cratic majority of 5000 in this special election.
Perhaps the best statement of the general feel
ing is made by a correspondent of the Saturday
Evening Post of April 2, writing particularly Of
the attitude of the Indiana Republicans. We
quote:
"The truth Is that Indiana is disappointed
in the President. Is sorry he has not done
what was expected of him, regrets sincere
ly that he has felt compelled to align himself
r. with A1drich and Cannon, and hopes-some-
what against hope, it is true-that pretty
soon he will do something that will convince
them that he is not working with the Inter-
ests, that he is not subservient to Aldrich
and Cannon, and that he is the man they
thought him to be when he took office They
speak Of the President in Indiana about as
father would speak Of who has been
disobedient. There attacks on him.
There are no aspersions except among the
most radical. Everybody is disappointed,
and says SO in the kindliest manner, without,
however, cloaking the disappointment at ALL"

What Will Roosevelt Say of Taft?

~ HE RETURN of President Roosevelt from
M his African hunting expedition and the in
= terest in his every movement and utter
ance emphasizes the fact that he is probably the
most powerful personality in the world to-day. A
private citizen. his word carries more weight than
that of the President Of the United States with all
his power behind him. Having had remarkably
successful hunting trip in the wilds of Africa he
has been honored in Egypt as If he king
and he will receive similar honors in the leading
European countries this spring.
About no other matter is speculation so keen as
ii is as to what he will say Of President Taft and
his administration when he returns to America a
few weeks hence That Taft has disappointed the
people goes without saying. He himself has prac-
ticaly admitted 1t In or less pathetic speech

the public. The New York outlook. of which Mr..

Pinchot and the President.

f~WO PUT 1T briefly, the country believes that
lM~I President Taft has gone back on the Roose-
SS~-' welt policies which he was elected to carry
out What then. will the originator of these pol
fcies have to say Of the chosen by his inf1u-
ence as the present occupant of the White House?
Interest in the matter is the more intense by
reason OF the fact that Roosevelt has cabled Gift
ford Pinchot to meet him in Naples. Pinchot
whose great work for the conservation of our
natural resources is known of all men, was one
OF Roosevelts closest friends but was dismissed
by President Taft. 1t is true, of course, that
P1nchot disobeyed President Taft's rule for
bidding subordinate giving out information, but
he was moved to dsobedience because he could
no longer stand the careless. makeshift way in
which Secetary Ballinger was looking after the
public wealth. Besides, as the New York Outlook
points out in the article to which we have already
referred, President Taft's order was itself mis-
take:
Building an opaque wall about the de-
partments is the way to cover up fraud with
In and create suspicion without The peril
from too great secrecy is far greater than
the peril from too great publicity"

"Seed-Time and Harvest"

1VIlOU ARE EXPECTING, at least hoping for
YN4 good crops this season, you not, Mr.
Farmer? You want to do better than YOU
did last year. Of course. You would like to have
good crops. better, than your neighbors.
wouldn't you? You certainly want yields that
will pay you good wages for the labor you de-
vote to your crops and interest on the money you
have invested in them.
Well, then. right now at this season of prenara-
ton and planting you doing more than you
can at any other time to mature or blast your
hopes.
Whatever you may or may not do later this
thing is certain: II your crops are not properly
planted. you are not going to get the best yields
Every defect in soil preparation, every poor
seed planted. every one that is covered too deep
or too shallow. every skip" in the row, every
lack OF thoroughness in the work. every disre-
gard at this time of the young plants needs,
means decreased crop next fall. Nothing you
can do later can repair the injury you may do by
careless work at planting time.
Therefore, would once again urge you to
plant only good seed. to have the soil in per-
feet condition before planting to see that the seed
are dropped uniformly and covered to the right
depth. TO make that the soil is at the right
temperature and not too dry or too wet for the
seed TO germinate-in short to pay close atten-
ton to every detail OF this work. and to do II
right. even IL 1t means some extra labor or
days delay.
You must not limit your yields and your profits
by faulty work while planting Wrongs done
now can not be righted. and the properly planted
crop is the only one that make n maximum
yield or give maximum profits. Let your ideal
be TO give each seed planted every possible chance
to do it's best This Is essential to the greatest
success

GNNUST NOW, however. it looks as If Gaynor
lfM! would have better chance to be nomi-
mated in 1912 than Harmon. but Of course
next two years and push both of them aside
There is no disputing the fact, however, that
Caynor is making of the most efficient and
business-like mayors the great city Of New York
has ever had. Elected as Tammany man when
all other Tammany men defeated, he has
interests OF the people Of New York and not for
the party organization. When the people elect
ed Seth Low they intended to have a business ad-
ministration free from politics. but Seth Low was
not the great business executive required 1t
seems that Gaynor is.
Governor Harmon. of Ohio on the other hand,
has not shown any especial ability as Governor Of
Ohio. and his previous record is not one to appeal
to people in a mood for liberal and progressive
policies The Sherman Antitrust law, for exam
pie. has been the statute books for twenty
years. and yet the main issue involved is now for
the first time coming up for decisive action by
the U. s. Supreme Court. The only explanation
given far is that there was no determined eff
fort to enforce the law on the part Of our Ma
tonal Department of Justice until President
Roosevelt came into office. So far from Governor
Harmons attempting to enforce the law when he
was Attorney General OF the United States, we
have heard that he actually hndered and stopped
the work of the District Attorneys who were at
tempting to prosecute the trusts

The Calm in Congress-.

II N IN UNEXPECTED calm has followed the

from power, but may may not have up
rooted Cannonism itself. The Republicans have
named as members of the new Committee on
Rules men who have usually done Cannon's bid

anxious to secure harmony than to stand for
great principle-have named as one member of
the Committee, Fitzgerald Of New York, who was
one OF the twenty-three deserving Democrats who

by supporters Of Governor Harmon, of Ohio, who
