A Means of Recreation For the seden-
tary or Be6ridden.
Speaking of conjuring, the allied art
Of juggling is one Of the most anus
ing and valuable OF diversions, espe-
cially to the sedentary. Many physi-
clans become expert In juggling, but 1t
Is to their patients that it is most
useful.
The bedridden, IL they retain the use
Of their hands, may beguile many
weary hour In learning TO keep three
or four tennis balls in the air at once
and in balancing sticks and other sim
pie objects on the forefinger or on the
chin.
For the brain worker who does not
care for walking there is no better
recreation II has often occurred to
us that in cases where there is any
reason to fear some form OF paralysis
the educating OF disused cerebral,
cerebeliar and spinal centers by the
rapid and complex movements requir-
ed In juggling might serve to act as
an efficient preventive.
We do not wish 20 claim too much
for manual education of this kind, but
we may point out that II tends to per
feet nervous poise and that no juggling
trick can be properly done If the per-

SHERMAN LAW STILL STRONG

The Sherman antitrust law came

except for one detail, according to the
opinion handed down by the United
States supreme court yesterday. The
one detail wherein the law is deprived
OF some force is in the qualification of
the term every contract in restraint of
trade, the opinion, as banded down, linn
iting it to every contract in due
restraint of trade. In all other details
the Sherman law stands as strong as
it stood in 1890, when first enacted. Az
for the decision itself, it is a powerful
victory for the United States govern

RAILRoADNG ON A SINGLE TRACK

II is a noteworthy fact that most of
The big freight wrecks hereabouts occur
on Sunday, when many of the regularly
scheduled trains are discontinued and
the tracks are given up TO the rushing
Of freight one way and the other. Be
cause of the failure to make their time,
the train crews can scarcely follow any
schedule on a Sunday, and consequently
they have TO run in hit or miss fashion.
Is it any wonder, then, that most of
the serious freight accidents happen on
Sunday The responsibility rests
largely on a train dispatcher at some
distant point-the responsibility for
Strengthening out the tangle Of freights,
TO hold this train at a certain station,

The President and the Recall of Judges.

It was as lawyer with judicial ex-
perienee that Mr. Taft pointed out to
the Academy of Political Science the
evils that would result from fur
Their limiting the power Of the courts,
through the introduction of the prin-
ciple of the recall in the case of Judges.
1t is a fact that where criminal trials
are speedy, where iuries are obtained
rapidly, where counsel are kept in or
der, where the rules Of evidence are
enforced strictly, ii is the result Of
vigor on the part of the judiciary, not
weakness, or a regard for outside
opinion The fatal objection TO this
visionary plan is TO be found in the
fact, indicated by Mr.. Taft, that not
only would the Judge be reduced to the
position of the moderator Of religious
assembly or the presiding officer Of y
political convention, but he would be
himself a defendant every time he
sat at trial For, if his conduct did
not suit small proportion of those
who had elected him he would be sub
ject to removal and to have another put
in his place who would be more likely
to keep his ear to the ground and OBJ
serge the drift of public opinion.
1t is obvious that Judges so situated
who desired to keep their places would
be more subject to political than to any
other considerations The sound com
mon sense of the American people can
be relied on to see the absurdity of a re-
yised figure of justice with no scales
and sword and with the hands, that
used to hold these emblems, firmly
bound.-New York Evening Sun.
