WHAT THE CHIEF JUSTICE
WANTED.

1T Is not too much to say that, with
the possible exception Of Justine Har-
Ian. the new chief justice is the most
human figure on the bench. This ref
erence to the veteran Kentuck jurist
recalls story about both Of them,
says Isaac F. Marcosson, IN the March
Munsey.
"Mr. White and Mr. Harlan are
great tobacco-chewers, and they chew
steadily through the sessions Of nourt.
One day Mr.. White forgot his plug
but he did not discover the fact until
he had settled back comfortably to
listen to the argument in very inn
portant case. A look Of real pain
came over his face. Then he wrote q
message on a sheet Of paper called 2
page. and asked him to take if 70 Mr-
Harlan.
"This performance greatly interest
ed the lawyers. They nudged one an
other. as Ii to say that Mr. White had
been impressed by some telling point
in the argument and was impartng u
70 his colleague As a matter Of fact
what he had written was this;
Have forgotten my plug. Please
send me some tobacco.
"Mr. Harlan read the note, tooS
out his tobacno. cut off generous
piece, and sent it back by the page
Mr.. White seemed much relieved, for
beneficient smile overspread his
massive couotenance, and once more
ne settled down to the case. y

TERMINATING THE TREATY.

The much-mootej question of the
termination of the commercial treaty of
1882 between this country and Rus.
STA has taken a very sudden and radical
change. 1t appears that President Taft,
on December 10th. that is TO say on
Friday last, gave formal notice to the
Russian Embassa1or TO this country of
the intention Of the United States TO
terminate that trenty on January /,
1918. this being the years notice re-
ouired in the treaty itself for its ter.
minatlon at the pleasure OF either
party TO il. Probably this notification
was given by President Taft in order
to overcome in such degree as he may,
any hothcadci action in Congress such
as the passage by the House OF the
crude and dcmaeogic Sulzer resolu-
tion. The Russian Minister made i'm
mediate protest upon the worling Of
that resolution, and this protest WAS
responded 10 III the way OF ccnsure
also by President Taft. Still, the ac-
ton contemplated in the Sul1er rcsolu-
ton was, in fact. taken by the Prcsi-
lent.
1t is noteworthy that the notice
served by President Taft upon Russia
does not specifically refer to the pass
port question, but is based upon the
changed conditions, both in Russia aud
the United States, in the eighty years
in which the treaty has been nominully
in effect
This is diplomatic nnl unoblcc"
tonable form III which TO put the no
tice. President Taf5 has done his coUu-
try distinct service in getting at this
matter in this way. At the same time
it is clear. either that the President
has been iostlcd off his contemplated
ground with respect to this treaty, or
else has given up all idea that success
could attend his negotiations In be-
half Of the enforcement of that treaty
as relates TO the passport question,
In his recent message 10 Congress, the
President alluded to this situation, and
expressly stated that he was In nego-
tiation with The Russian Government
for better enforcement Of the treaty,
with n COOL hope Of bringing that nc
cotiation TO satisfactory termination.
lie evidently does not indulge in that
hope any longer. or ne would not have
given the notice; unless, indeed, he
feared to be put in a "hole' by the
demagogic clamor which would likely
arise in case he should veto that SulZcr
resolution. We Judge that the situa-
tion was forced by poll of the Sen
ate, disclosing that the Senators were
in full sympathy with the Sulzer reso-
luton. even though they might wish TO
modify the crulcncss of its language.
Hence the sensational action of the
President in giving the sudden notice
that he did 10 Russia of the termina-
tion Of the treaty.
There can probably be no doubt Of
the concurrence, both of the Senate and
the House. in this action OF the Presi-
dent And it terminates in a satls-
factory way an irritating contention.

PROPOSED HEAVY PARCELS.

There has been good deal Of argu-
ment in favor Of the parcels post, and,
so far as the argument goes. The case
has been won over anI over. But, 1t ls
more difficult TO win 1T III Congress
than it is by argument, analogy, or
stance. TO be sent by mail to Canada,

any of the Scandinavian states, but will
not accept such parcels 10 be sent
through our own mails to points in the
United States, save in very limited and
small degree.
But, there appears 10 he a growing
sentiment in favor of extending TO our
own people the same postal facilities
that VIC allow foreigners to enjoy IN our
postal Transmission. We send parcels
through our mails received from
abroad 10 any part in the United
States. and we send parcels through
our mails from any part of the Unitcl
States to foreign countries. The con
cIuslon would seem to be absolutely
plain that ii is equally our duty TO
transmit packages from ono part Of
our own country 10 another
Postmaster General Hitchcock is ask
ing Congress 10 allow him TO establish
parcels post service by way of the
rural delivery routes. It WAS formerly
the custom in most of these routes
for the carriers to accept and deliver
packages though not rs mail. THIS was
forbidden some time ago, and, at amy
rate. was never part of the official
postal system. Postma ster General
Hitchcock wants TO experiment with
parcels posts little and see how ear
wing parcels as mail would work on
The rural delivery routes. Accordingly
Senator O German Of New York has
introduced bill in the Senate proyil.
ing for general parcels post on rural
routes Under his bill parcel six
feet long and weighing rs much rs Eve
hundred pounds NAV be received and
delivered on any Of the rural postal
routes Of the United States.
II would seem from this that il is no
part of the programme of tho Post
master General TO particularly limit
the size or weight of parcels handled
by post on these rural delivery routes,
although the handling Of packages de.
livrred on these routes is q limitation
on the genera postal system tha, a
good many think should not be had,
Still as beginning. it would probably
bc Us well TO let the rural delivery
routes be tested in this matter. so as
ia see where we shall come out on the

such deliveries will form a basis upon

TIE HOLY GHoSTERS.

The sentence of the Rev, Frank
Weston Sandford on his conviction Of
being responsible for the death of SIX
Of his followers, is a just retrlbuton
Of the law upon a fanatical impostor
We do not believe that Mr.. Sandford
meant to be an impostor or TO inlure
any one: but he was allowed 10 carry
his frcnzicd religious notions to such
an excess that the situation gave him
charge of the lives of men and women,
and his fanaticism did not allow him
to see that he was failing TO take the
entrusted to his care. The sickenlng
story Of the disease laden hulk in which
he and his devoted followers were
found on the failure of their e5pedi,
tiou for the conversion of peoples be
yond the sea, has been told in the dis
patches, 1t seems curious indeed that
he should suppose himself capable of
converting people beyond the sea when
he was able TO make so little impress
sion upon the people of his native
iand.
However, his crazy fanaticism put
him in the clutches Of the law, and
he now faces the penalty for his mis-
deeds. This penalty is absolutely Just.
II will be in vain that any one viii

is entitled TO favor its own shipping
BY releasing that shipping from the
canal tolls. either in whole or in part
Mt the pleasure Of Congress. Under the
Lodge proposal 1T. is clear case that.
if the United States should undertake
TO refund TO American vessels the tolls
which those vessels pay on their use
Of the canal, other nations could do
tho same 10 their own shipping, and
in The end tho equality Of use and of
payment would he reached. So that IN
any way in which the matter may be
looked at. the United States must stanl
on its rights of proprietorship and its
right Of discriminating in tolls in its
own favor whenever il chooses 10 do so.
The only workable point in the claim
that tho United States must make no
discrimination as to tolls through the
Panama cnnal is in this, that 1T must
make no discrimination as between the
vessels Of other nations. whatever 1T
may do with regard to vessels of our
own. That is all that the worli Is en-
titled 10 claim of us on any fair or
businesslike basis The notion that we
can be barred from doing what We viii
with our own after an expenditure OF
Si00 900 200 TO construct that canal, Is
both unreasonable and fantastic. 1t
would. indeed, be a serious assault upon
common sense for any nation to come
forward with the plea that 1T had just
as much right in the Panama canal for
its vessels as we have there ourselves
for our own. 1t would seem as though
the mere statement Of the case ought to
he enough to refute the claim of COM
mon use on equal terms by all the ma
tions of the earth,
