Justice Harlan Dead.

Associate Justice Harlan, of
the Supreme court of tee United
States, died Saturday morning of
acute br Jnchitis.
He was seventy-eight years
old and one of the best known,
ablest and most popular members
of the great judicial tribunal.
Judge Harlan was a Kentuck-
ian and had been on the Supreme
Bench for many years. Many
people have been pleased to see
him appointed Chief Justice to
succeed Fuller. He was noted
for his simple habits and for his
great industry. He could have
retired some years ago on full
pay but refused to do. His
death coming as a painful sur
prise to the great public will be
universally mourned all over the
land.
Justice Harlan had been i'll
less than a week. He served
thirty-fve years as Associate
Justice, and before reaching the
bench was high authority in
Kentucky politics, once being
candidate for vice president.
Yesterday he seemed a little bet
ter, but during the night became
much worse.

1t is a well established princi-

that accepting the paper creates
an implied contract to pay for it.

Washington, October 1.-THE
Harmony Meeting" of the West
Virginia Republicans is over and
N. b. Scott, formerly OF Wheeling
and Senator from West Virginia,
how head of large banking insti-
tuition in Washington with home and
BUSINESS here, has returned to the
national capital to continue the par
ceiling out OF the Federal Offices to
those West Virginia Republicans
who profess allegiance TO the old
machine of which he is still the
head. A great pretense of reorgan-
ization was made by the Republi-
cans at Charleston, although the re-
organization consis entirely in the
nominal resignation of several mem
bers of the old State committee, to
take effect at some undetermined
time in the future, after the old
committee has planned the running
Of the primary election for next
year that is, after the committee
has done oil it can to control the
nominations in the future as IN the
past. But, with all the fuss that
has been made about the reorgani-
cation of the State committee, not q
word has been said "a to the reten-
ton by Mr.. Scott Of the super vision
Of all Federal appointments for the
State. The old State committee
will continue to control the nomina.
tions through the couirolo OF the pri-
mary, just as it formerly controlled
the nominations through the con-
trCl Of the conventions. And for
mer Senator Scott repudiated by
the people, will continue 10 control
the Federal appointments Not
only teat but it is understood here
that he is slated for reelection as q
member Of the national committee
and in the event Of his election to
that place and the continuance Of a

tirae to be the dispenser Of Fedora

acceptance of the paper created
a liability. The court adds:
The preparation and publics ton
of a newspaper involves much
mental and physical labor as well
as an outlay of money. One
who accepts the paper by contin-
uously taking it from the post
office receives a benefit and
pleasure arising from such labor
and expenditure as fully as if he
had appropriated any other prod
uct of anothers labor, and by
such act he must be held liable
for the subscription price"

In the unfortunate death of JUS
tlce Harlan, of the Supreme Court
of the United States, an opportunity
has been offered those self-appoint-
ed boosters of Judge Nathan Golf,
of West Virginia. to prove the sin
certify of their claims that addition
al honors should be conferred upon
him. In spite of his positive decIa-
rations. made time and again, that
he would not under any circumstan-
ces enter the political field again,
certain Republicans in West Virgin
10 have suddenly determined that
he is deserving of greater honors
than have ever been conferred up
on him and have been boosting him
against his will for the Senator
ship, the Govern orship or most any
other old office. Whether they
merely want to get their hands on
his bank account is open to COME ct
ure, but the time to test their sin
cerity has arrived. Jadge Golf is
suitable material for the United
States Supreme Court; a vacancy
exists on that court; the self-ap-
pointed boosters of Judge Golf in
West Virginia know that he would
infinitely prefer place Oh the Su-
preme bench to any Office in the
gift Of the State and that it would
be higher honor 1t they are sin
cere IN their desire TO confer honor
upon Judge Goff they now have
an opportunity to show 1t by en-
deayoung to get the position on the
bench for him. At the same time
this would absolye them from the
charge Of itching fingers, reaching
for his coin, for 1t would not re-
quire any money to make cam
paign for him for the Supreme
Court appointment. If these fell

Three Milton Short.
1t has just been discovered
that the Washing ton Navy Yard
is upwards Of three million dol
lars short in its accounts. AS
yet, nobody has been accused Of
stealing anything, and the short
age is explained on the ground
that the book keeping system is
at fault. This system. or lack of
it, has thrived under one Repub-
lican administration after anotn-
er, and yet nothing so pleases the
Republicans as to attempt to rid
icule the Democrats for putting
into operation a series of investi-
cations designed to uncover, and
remedy, such little matters as
three million dollar shortages.
One Trust Frightened.
Chairman Ben johnson, of the
Democratic District Committees
of Congress, has discovered that
the District of Columbia once
borrowed twentyone million dol
lars from the government, and
forgot to pay it back. He now
proposes to collect this debt. In
consequence, the Washington
real estate trust is in Mysteries.
In the capital city the gsvern-
ment pays half the city expenses,
hence taxes are low. Despite
this fact, and the further fact
that hundreds Of houses are un-
coupled, rents and property val
ues are higher than in any other
city of the size in the country.
Besides the real estate dealers,
the idle rich, who come to
Washington and built social pal
aces, are calling Chairman John
son despot.
