in professional pursuits. The com
plete course will require three years.

GROssCUg
TO QUIT BENCH

Washington, Sept. 2S.-There has
been much discussion in official cir
cles here Of the prospective retire
ment from the bench OF Judge Peter
s. Grosscup of the United States cir
cult court at Chicago. After nineteen
years as a federal judge in the North
.ern Illinois district. he will retire to
private life next week. The reputed
reason for his resignation Is that he
may have more freedom for the ex.
preston of his political views.
In addition to his place in the cir
cult court, Judge Grosscup was a
member of the United States circuit
court of appeals, the tribunal which
reversed Judge Landis' s29, 000, 900
fine on the Standard Oil Company.
The reversing decision was handed
down by Judges Grosscup, Baker and
Seaman. Following their decision
President Roosevelt characterized II
as a miscarriage of justice.
During the great railroad strike Of
1894 1t was Judge G%rosscup who is
sued an Injunction restraining the &C.
tivities of Eugene V. Debs, since So
cialist candidate for president, and
other officials of the American Rail-
way Union. Later Judge Grosscup
called upon the president to send fed
eral troops to Chicago, against the
protest of Governor Altgeld.
Judge Grosscup, according to his
friends here, has frequently criticised
the Sherman antitrust law and has
characterized 1t as "a failure"

BALL|NGER CHANGES VIEWS

Denver, Colo, Sept. 2s.-Richard A.
Ballinger of Seattle, Wash, private
citizen, holds views on the public land
question which are quite at variance
with the opinions of Richard A. Bal
linger, secretary of the interior. Mr..
Ballinger is on the program for one
of the principal addresses at the Pub
lie Lands Congress. opened in Denver
today, and his speech Is likely to Gre
ate a sensation.
while secretary OF the Interior
Mr.. Ballinger is quoted as saying, Il
had necessarily to conform to the
views of the administration, but as a
private citizen | am free to speak my
mind"
The meeting here today marks the
beginning of the first Public Lands
Congress ever held in the United
States. The sessions will continue
three days. All of the seventeen
states in which are located 1000, 600
or more acres of public lands are rep
resented by their governors or per-
sonal representatives. Governor John
F. Shafroth OF Colorado issued the
call for the meeting, under a resolu'
ton of the state legislature, which an
nounced as the purpose Of the conven-
ton ito discuss fully the proper adj
ministration of~the public domain and
the practical conservation Of the re-
sources pertaining thereto"
The meeting is essentially in the in
terest of the Western states, say the
officials. and IL successful in its pur-
poses may result in many changes in
the existing policy of the federal gov
eminent toward the administration OF
the public domain.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The war between Italy and Turkey
has been exciting a lot of people, who
are estimating what the probable
chances are for either side in a land
or sea encounter. Following close on
the efforts of the United States chief
executive for international peace and
the big strides made in this direction,
this war is Earring, to say the least.
The time has arrived for the settle
ment of international disputes without
wal and the loss of life which must
inevitably follow. Wan still has a fas-
cination for many of us, n h glory
and honor which attend the successful
combatants are still sought. But war
is nothing more nor less than barbar-
ism. Two armies of able-bodied men
shoot at each other until the greater
part of one side is slain or routed.
The same performance in a street or
house at any other time would be
called murder and the successful war
riors treated as such. Planned and
wholesale killing on a battlefield
amounts to the same thing, but is ex-
cused in the name of war. This
method of settling trouble between ma
tions is out of date. May the Italian
Turkish affair be the last. M. j. B..

THE .USTICESHlP NOMINATION.

sTN RESIDENT TAFT will experience more difficulty in filling
liz the place of the late Justice Harlan on the Supreme bench
than he had in his other four judicial appointments, and
the difficulties are already beginning TO appear. The fact that
with the choice of a fifth judge the President will have selected
a majority of the Supreme Court makes the new appointment one
of surprising interest and Importance, and there will be Jealous
scrutiny of every mar who may be offered for the place. The
Progressive senators will demand that the judgeship be given to a
lawyer with Progressive ideas, whether he be a Republican or
Democrat, and the Progressive element i'll the Senate will surely
refuse to vote to confirm any other kind of an appointment. 1t is
questionable, therefore, whether there would be any determined
Opposition if a member of the Senate should be named. Among
the Democratic senators the most likely choice by the President
would be Senator Bailey, of Texas. one objection being that the
South now has three representatives on the Supreme Court bench.
Among the Republican senators Root, of New York, would be
preferred as one of the ablest of constitutional lawyers. Senatorial
courtesy is a potent factor in such eases. But the President will
be subjected to an extraordinary amount of criticism and hectoring
before he sends a nomination to the Senate, and he will catch it,
too, after he has done so.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER IS. 1911.
WHAT MPENDS IN CHINA?

IT F the whole huge bulk of China should engage in revolution the
event would afford the most extraordinary spectacle in all
history. The great French revolution would be childs play
in comparison. II would be the most terrific tragedy in the annals
of human kind. As one of the first incidents the Manchu race, the
ruling caste. would be extirpated in China, root and branch. With
the destruction of the dynasty there would arise the everlasting
struggle between conservatism and radicalism, between the mon.
archical and republican principles, with a sure triumph for the
former. Inevitably European powers would intervene for their
own advantage and with the purpose to seize territory or establish
spheres of influence. The danger of ACKNOWLEDGMENT might, however,
calm civil strife and unite the nation against the foreign foe. Ces.
sation of labor and the general distraction would cause great
famines and muItitudes might be swept off in that way. Every
lover of his kind will hope that China will soon find a way out of
her sea of troubles.
