Ripe Fruit.

News in republican anti-Taft circles
SAYS that Ohio is ripe for the picking
Probably not. No state is ripe for the
picking in the case of any presidential
aspirant on either side. Mr.. Taft looks
good" in many states, and Mr.. La Toilette
| in several. Gov. Harmon has a scattered
strength, Gov. Wilson some. and Speak
er Clark no little. But no fruit anywhere
may be safely described as ripe. Elk
perienced pickers are not at present
climbing trees.
Everything depends on the turn OF
things in the next few months. When
Congress meets the ball will OPEN The
President will lead off with a message.
and in it lay down his line of policy.
His opponents, democrats and insurgents,
must reply. If they unite and reject his
recommendations. and agree upon pro-
gram of their own. the issue for the
presidential campaign will be Joined and
most interesting situation produced
If they are unable to agree, leaving the
President stronger than either wing Of
the opposition, still the situation will be
interesting.
AS for Ohio, much will depend on Cox
and Coxism. In a way familiar to men
of his class. Cox has retired from poll
ties. But is it his purpose to stay re-
tired? Is lie ''out of it, for good? Or
shall we see him when the time arrives
come back and attempt to name the
delegates to the republican national con-
vention. securing place for himself
If this happens it will injure the Presi-
dent both at home and elsewhere. He
is not a Cox man. He openly repudiated
the boss several years ago. and gave his
support to the republican city ticket in
Cincinnati the other day on the ground
that the situation had changed; that Cox
was no longer boss. Some of his friends
differed with him about the matter. but
his vote was cast in that belief.
Clearly, therefore, Cox must remain
out If he was hateful in city politics.
he will be equally so in state politics.
and should not figure in next years equa-
ton at all.
Gov. Harmon's friends see advantage
to him in the democratic successes in Gin
cinnau, Columbus and Cleveland, and
the governor himself in interviews shows
elation. But he should be guarded in
that appraisement Of matters. Nun cipai
issues turned the scale. Not even state
issues, much less national issues, entered
in.
And. by the way, who Is Gov. Harmon's
Buckeye representative in the hunt for
presidential delegates? AS the phrase Is,
who is managing his campaign? Well
considered as he Is, and anxious for the
honor of leading his party, In field sc
large and a hunt SO spirited he should
have at his side the best man available.
| Ohio has always produced highly ca
pable crop of politicians.

The Supreme Court.

Mr. BRYAN is still curious on the sub
ject of the Presidents latest Supreme
Court appointments-about the influences
that prevailed and all that-and an
nounces that he will have considerably
more to say before he is through. The
court, high though 1t be. Is not sacro-
sanct. Its members and their decisions
are within the purview of public dis
cussion.
But 1t has more than once happened
that criticisms leveled at that quarter
by politicians for political effect have
been thoroughly disproved by the event.
Take the case of Mr.. Lamar. When
Mr.. Cleveland selected him for the Su-
preme bench the appointment was con-
demned by many silver democrats as a
play to Wall street. Mr.. Lamar's re-
fusal while a senator to support his party
ON silver was, they said. the sole reason
for the selection. The Mississippian.
though educated for the bar. and when
a young man a college lecturer on law.
had been in politics for years. and had
no standing at the bar.
And yet Mr.. Lamar proved to be a ca
pable and industrious member OF the
court. He did his share of the work.
ana MS dSSOCldtSS ~ wei.
The appointment ranks among the best
MIR. Cleveland made while in the White
House.
An earlier appointment. but one OF
more recent interest because of the recent
death of the appointee, was that of John
NJ. Harlan. When Mr.. Hayes sent to
the Senate the name of the kentuckian.
lie was accused of using a Supreme Court
Justiceship to pay off political debt.
Gen. Harlan. then a leader at the Blue
grass bar and the foremost republican
i'm the state, had assisted in probing the
democratic election methods in the south
in the campaign of the year previous,
1876 and reported in favor of the repub-
lican national ticket. And another
charge was that the appointee was at
most rafting stump speaker. with small
qualifications for anything else.
The times were warm, and the appoint
ment was confirmed with difficulty. But
1t was a lucky day for the court and the
country when 1t was confirmed. For the
court acquired a member destined to
serve more than thirty years. and In
that time to sit with honor in many i'm
portant cases. He has just died. la
mented by both parties and all men, and
by nobody more sincerely than by Mr..
Bryan. The man who for political rea-
sons was SO bitterly fought in the spring
of 1877 and pronounced a mere politician.
quits the scene in the fall of 1911. with
the reputation OF one of the ablest jurists
ever TO sit on the Supreme bench. Where
now are his critics? Who can even name
them without turning the leaves Of a
musty record?
The appointments Of Chief Justice
White and of Justices Lurton. Lamar
and Van Devanter are not open to fair
criticism either as to the personal char
acter or the judicial equipment of the
men: and II the successor of Justice
Harlan measures up to that standard. as
doubtless he will, the President viii score
again in the estimation OF all who put
politics aside in passing judgment.

A Traffic in Death.
From the Chicago Journal.

Increasing frequency Of deaths by pol
son compels the conclusion that 1t would
be better for the community IL deadly
drugs were less easily obtained. Nearly
every days news carries its story Of
murder or suicide by poison. In many
cases the crimes are made possible by the
sale of drugs that under no circumstances
should be sold Unfortunately. Evidence
in these cases almost invariably shows
that the criminals purchased the death
potion with the same ease and lack OF
restriction that would attend the sale of
q bar Of soap. More rigid regulation OF
the sale of deadly poisons might not put
a stop to these crimes. but 1t certainly
would make them more difficult.
