AYfRESIDENT T A F T 1A during the first half of
 T hie administration has

" HIS dOIIllulSll u dllOll AdO been called upon to appoint a larger number of justices of the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States than any other president in a similar period. In fact, there have been but few Presidents that during an eight years term have filled so many vacancies as have fallen to the lot of President Taft.
 He is now about to dis charge one of the heaviest re- responsibilities that has devoled on him since he became Presi- dent, that of appointing a Chief Justice of tue Supreme Court of the United States. The great mass of the people are overwhelmingly in favor of the appointment of the as sociate Justice John M. liar len to the Chief Justiceship of that great court.
 President Taft is debating this question with himself and 1t is generally hoped that he will appoint Harlen, who while he is for justice and equality for everyone, corpor- ations included, is neverthe- less on the side of the people as against the privledged classes.
 It is thought that President Taft sincerely desires the Su. preme Court to sustain the in come tax provision of the last tariff bill and by appointing Judge Harlen to the Chief Justiceship he will further the cause as Judge Harlen IS one of the ablest champions of the income tax in the country.
 The death of Chief Justice Fuller, which occurred during the summer, necessitates the appointment of a Chief us. tice of the Supreme Court. The outcome of the problems now pressing for solution or that August Court will have a tremendous bearing on the industrial and business life of the country. The great trust cases now pending, involving the Standard Oil Co.,, and the Tobacco Trust, have been set down for hearing on January 3, of next year. In addition to this congress has passed a law imposing a tax of one per cent on the gross receipts of all corporations. It is need less to say that the great trusts of this country all of which are corporations, particularly, are anxous to see the income tax feature of the tariff bill de- clared unconstitutional, which will relieve them from paying that tax and thus deprive the government of many millions of annual revenue. Of all the provisions, of the Iniquitus Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bill which is more heavily loaded with trickery, fraud and cor ruption, than any other tariff that has ever passed Congress, the income tax provision is the only redeeming feature of the entire hill Tn all ifs DrOvi.

Charlottesville, Va, January s.
Virginia played her first home game
Of basketball tonight, defeating VIII
liam and Mary College by the de-
cisive score OF SO to 10. The visi-
tors played pIuckily in the first half
the score at the close of the period
being Il to 5. During the second
aalf the speed and stamina Of the
locals proved too much for the
younger and lighter visitors.
Trainer Lannigan put 10 a number
IF new men, and practically ran the
Williamsburg players off their feet.
7irglnia's success lay in the fact that
he team kept the ball well down
round their basket, where, by good
cam work. they made many opPor-
unines to cage the ball.
Spratt, the former Emory and
Henry star, put up a spectacular
game. He covered lots Of territory
and landed several goals from diff
cult angles. Cecil gave a clever ex
iibi6on of dribbling, and Captain
Nay played steady and consisten
game throughout. His work in thl
second half. when be tossed a half
dozen goals. aroused much enthusi
asm. Ashby did some effechvr

Necessity of Water.

Both plants and animals need water
to supply the large amount of water
necessary to be kept always In their
tissues, but the plant needs 1t for an
other reason than the animal. Plants
cannot absorb food except in a liquid
condition, and in this way a great sur
plus of water is taken in by the plant
over what 1t retains in its tissues.
This surplus is evaporated through
pores in the leaves and is what the
botanist calls Transportation. In view
of this preeminent need Of water In
our farming operations the question oil
the conservation of what water we do
receive, either in the form Of rain and
SNOW or in the streams, becomes o,
crst Importance. Well directed cul
ture observe moisture and consti
tutes one of the chief differences be
tween profitable and unproitahle
farming.
