Many years ago James T. Fields. the
publisher, was making a collection Of
the writings Of De Quincy. The es-
says were widely scattered In various
periodicals and were often hard to
Identify. Mr. Fields knew Rufus
Choate as a devoted student Of De
Quincy and wrote him one day ask
Ing bis opinion as to a certain article.
Was It by De Quincy or not?
Mr.. Choate replied that It certainly
was. There could be no mistaling the
style Of the piece A few weeks Alater
Mr.. Choate received through Mr..
Fields letter from De Quincy deny
ing absolutely and somewhat indig-
nantly the authorship OF the article.
But Choate was not Of the STUFF to
yield his opinion for trihe like that.
He wrote to Mr.. Fields:
II still believe that De Quincy wrote
the essay, De Quincy to the contrary
Notwithstanding
Doubtless Mr.. Fields read the note
with smiling comment, ''That's just
like Choate's confidence in his own
judgmentv'
Months elapsed. One day there came
letter from De Quincy containing a
humble apology for his previous blum

desk the manuscript OF the very article
In question. Written as 1t had been

The great success Of the parcels post
system In Germany is beyond dispute,
and Americans abroad constantly marvel
at the low rates charged for the trauspor-
tation OF packages within the borders Of
the Empire. Nevertheless. there is q
growing sentiment that the rates on the
smaller sized packages shonld be even
cheaper. At present, the charges are IL
cents pound on all packages weighing
not more than II pounds.
In the recent Reichstsg debates on the
Post Office appropriation. member ask.
ed the Secretary of the Post Office
whether it would not be feasible to reduce
the rate for packages not weighing more
than one kilogram e. rs pounds) to rs
cents. In this connection it is pointed
out that some of the smaller countries
have considerably cheaper rates than
Germany on small packages. Thus. in
Switzerland. packages weighing one
kilogram pay only S cents. those of 6
half-kilogram only 8 cents. In Denmark
kilogram package costs about4H CENTS,
in Luxembourg about 5. and in Holland
about cents.

William J. Bryan, James M. Beck, and
other publicists and jurists give their
views on the recent Supreme Court de.
cisions in the Standard Oil aud Tobacco
Trust cases, in a symposium in the North
American Review. and t..eir opinions
agree that the Sherman law is not effec-
tive or workable.
Mr.. Bryan takes the point of view that
II e Court had no right to reverse itself.
and hints that the bench of judges had
been packed. He says:
ut is fundamental rule of reason
that man can generally find reason.
not always conclusive and sometimes not
even plausible. but reason sufficient for
himselLfor doing anything upon which
his heart is really set. If bias is ad.
mitted-bias in the President as well as
in the judge-it is entirely possibly tina.
La President might unconsciously select
judges. who would, without any previous
pledge, agree quite natural y with those
VINO represent tuCit sue Vi luC great
fundamental issues that divide society.
If it Just happend' that in the selection
of eight judges all should take the view
of Justice White, and if it not account for
by bias on great subjects, then it shows
what lottery is conducted at the White
House when the President blindfolds
himself and picks judges at random, only
to find that all the prizes have gone to
those who do not fear reasonable Trusts
and none to those who opposed all ie-
straipt of trade.
IF the Supreme Court is TO become a
legislative body, what reason can be
given for not making it elective also?
The people would submit much more
willingly to judicial legislation if they
had chance TO elect the judges for
fixed terms. Will they consent to legls-
lation on important questions by Court
whose members are not only appointed
by the President, but appointed for life?"

Corporation Directors Want Their
Rights and Usually Get Them.
A large corporation held directors
meeting few days ago. As the meet
Ing was coming to close one Of the
directors, reputed to be worth SIC. 000,-
600, ran In all out of breath. Just as
he entered the other directors were
making their exit. says the Hartford
Courant.
"Look here" the incoming director
shouted to the chairman, ST want to
know why I haven't received notice of
this meeting"
II am sure ! don't know" the chair
man said. Notices were sent to all
directors. You surely must have re-
ceived one"
The director finished up an excited
TRADE by saying. II want my rights"
Just then the secretary was brought
into conference. who in turn handed
the late director an envelope. He de-
parted with a smiling countenance.
This recalls the story Of a New York
corporation where $40 for each director
was laid on the, table and those who
attended divided the whole pile. If
half came each got $40. The members
were men far advanced in years and
In riches. One day it stormed violently
when meeting ives to be held. The
executive officers did not believe a
single director would be there, but
every man of them was on hand, each
having figured out that nobody else
would appear and that he might swipe
the entire allowance.

A citizen of Chicago who has kept one
working housekeeper for thirty-one years
claims to have solved the domestic pro.
blem. He gives three simple rules by
which anyone may keep servant as
long as he or she likes. The rules are:
do not expect from servant more work
than you could do yourself. Remember
that servant is human being, not a
beast of burden. Follow the Golden
Rule" He states, however. that his
servant has three rules to regulate her
conduct. These are: do faithfully all
the work you are expected to do and a
little more. Try to anticipate the wants
of your employer. Do not grumble."

levy made by the County Commissioners
is entirely inadequate to meetthe existing
needs, and that the effort to keep the
rate somewhere near the dollar mark is
purely for political effect. The tax levy
being inadequate the Commissioners will

This borrowing of money is declared to
be unlawful, and the editor of the Wing
has applied for an injunction to prevent
the Commissioners resortiug to it during
