Supreme Court Changes.

The death of Justice Harlan will give
to President Taft the unusual and only
once paralleled duty of appointing fifth
member of the United States Supreme
Court during his term Of office. Since he
assumed the presidency, in 1909, he has
already named four associate justices,
Lurton, Hughes, Van Devanter and
Lamar, and has promoted an associate
justice to the chief justiceship. The sue
cessor to Justice Harlan will be the fifth
member of the court to receive his COM
mission from the hands of President Taft,
who will thus have named a majority of
the highest court.
Only once before has this occurred.
President Lincoln between 1862 and 1864
named five members Of the Supreme
Court. including one chief justice. These
were Associate Justices Swayne. Miller,
Davis and Field and Chief Justice Chase.
President Grant in 1904 named four
members of the court, Associate Justices
Strong, Bradley and Hunt and Chief
Justice Waite. President Harrison in
1SS9-93 named four associate justices,
Brewer, Brown. Shiras and Jackson.
OF the eight surviving members of the
court today the appointments came from
the following-named Presidents: Chief
Justice White, from President Cleveland
as associate and President Taft as chief
Associate Justices McKennas and Day
from President Mckinley; Associate JUS
tice Holmes. from President Roosevelt
Associate Justices Lurton. Hughes, Van
Devanter and Lamar, from Presiden
Taft
The death Of Justice Harlan removes
the last Of the elder jurists from the
bench. The member Of longest service is
| Chief Justice White. who was serving in
his eighteenth year in the court He il
the only member who received his com
| mission from the hands of a democratic
| president.

CALIFORNIA; Experiments.
From the Philadelphia Ledger

California has made up its mind SO
positively that ''progressiveness' is the
sovereign balm for all the ills of mis-
government under which it has suffered
in the past that it has taken the entire
treatment. Woman suffrage has been
carried-contrary to the earlier reports
along with the initiative, the referendum
and the recall and the various other
amendments of the state constitution.
Each of these modern panaceas for the
defects and failures of democracy is "a
be tried out In its most advanced FORM
and IL the Californians are willing To
make the experiment in so whole hearted
way the rest of the country may watch
the results with equanimity as well as
with interest

will suppress these small fires at less

sApTIs1s POUND PASTOR
Carried Tokens of Esteem To Hl'
Residence.

The members Of the Baptist church
took advantage Of the absence Of their
pastor, Rev. L. A. Williams, on Sun
day, Jan. 9Th, and planned generous
pounding for him, the time being fixed
for Friday night.
Notice was given to the Sunday
School and church members, and all
through the week these organizations
had been planning for the event.
The affair was well planned, and
splendidly carried out. Mr.. Williams
had no intimation Of what was to take
place until the first pound arrived, AND
was not sure then, but soon realized
what was on foot as pounds OF every
description ranging from barrels OF
flour to useful wearing articles came
pouring in.
A great throng of people went "a
the residence on Washington avenue
from s 70 10, and when the last pound
had arrived the large dining table was
crowded with the weight upon 1t and
ever piece Of furniture in the room had
been put-to use to bear its share, as
most of the floor space.
Mr.. Williams was visibly affected by
the liberality and evidences OF esteem
in which he is held by his congregation
and expressed his appreciation IN warm
terms, both for the material and and
especially for the tokens of love from
his peODle.

near future.
