THE seven justices Of the Supreme
/ court of the United States, led by
the venerable Justice Harlan, called
on President Taft the other day to pay
their respects. This annual call OF
courtesy reminded the president of
duty which is uppermost in his mind
and occupying it almost to the ex-
clusion of any other consideration, for
the president is called upon to re-
model the highest tribunal in the land.
The president has appointed two
justices already-Hughes in place Of
Brewer, who died, and Lurton in place
of Peckham of New York, also dead.
These deaths removed a Republican
and a Democrat, and their successors
were Of the same political faith.
Since then Chief Justice Fuller, a
Democrat appointed from Illinois, has
died, and Justice Moody. Republic
an, Of Massachusetts, has resigned
because of 1ll-health, and President
Taft will have to fill these two va
canc;es.

ing all the files of letters and docu-
ments will be stored in the old coal
vaults under the lawn on the Pennsyl-
vania avenue side, and new coal vaults
are being built on the side opposite the
White House.
The completed building, as 1t stands,
represents three stages of construction.
The nucleus, located by Jackson, was
finished in 1912. The south wing was
finished in 1864. The north wing, fin
ished in 1869, is on the side of the old
state department building.
The long colonnade of brown stone,
erected in 1854, deteriorated in the
southern climate and was replaced by
the present granite monoliths little
more than year ago.

WHEN the small army of architects
w and artisans has finished the
work now in progress on the Uni
ted States treasury building, the beau
tiful old structure will show the first
material change since 1869. Architect
turally it still will represent a pagan
temple, indicating, many folk say, the
American peoples worship of money.
But visitors to the nations capital who
have not seen the treasury in 40 years
will find some changes for efficiency
and economy

located where President Jackson, irri-

Y ANSAS CITY, KAN-The Armour
IL dale district has set the pace and
now this city is going to be a spot
less town. An idea, a circular letter
and few postage stamps did the work
in Armourdale.
Mr.. Dean, commissioner Of parks,
selected the town-cleaning day and
then mailed the letters to all of the
business and professional men in that
part Of town, inviting them to meet,
properly equipped with implements,
at Shawnee park.
AS early as 1880 the Shawnee park
district looked like brickyard dis
;rict when mad-dog alarm has been
sounded. There were men of all
sizes and wearing all sorts of working
apparel and carrying many descrip-
tions of implements. When all hands
had gathered around the bandstand,
it was found that the group included
lawyers, doctors, ministers and bust
ness men, and that they meant bust
ness.
