Courts and Politics.

From Theodore Roosevelt the country
naturally expects safe and sane leader.
crship u IS not getting it He breaches
popular rule, but he does not believe in
it. He tells his audiences that all" the
people ought 20 govern, and yet he has
written that government should be CON
ceutrated in the hands Of very few
men, and that the election should not
come too frequently" This means a
dictatorship.
With courts he has no patience. and
for established lazy he has no use unless
it is a Roosevelt-made law He holds
only contempt for judges who stand in
his way. Is il at all surprising. then,
that he shonId be found advocating the
ilingiug OF the courts into politics. That
he would make judicial decisions subject
to the decisions Of the political parties
or Of individual opinion at the pols1
Could bis plan be put into operation
we should have instead judges swayed
and controlled by the whims Of popular
eXciement-the most dangerous menace
to constitutional government that can be
imagined. PhiladeLbhia Inquirer.

Superstition Royalty Respects.

Canterbury Cathedral, like most
Gothic cathedrals, is decorated with
innumerable inches for statues. At
Canterbury series of these inches is
occupied with statues of kings and
queens of England, and there are only
four inches left unoccupied.
An old tradition has it that when
all the inches are filled the throne of
England will come to an end. Queen
Victoria was approached with a view
to a statue of herself being placed in
one OF the four remaining inches, but
her late majesty was aware of the old
tradition, and refused.
one wonders whether in the future
there will be four monarchs of Eng
land sufficiently Indifferent to super
stition to defy the tradition and allow
their effigies to fill the unoccupied
spaces.-Stray Stories.

The Doctor-The bill is 500, Mr..

Client-One hundred dollars. Why,
good heavens, doctor, you can't live
and charge such prices as that. Here
you've nursed me through a three
months illness and given me the bene-
tit of all your skill, and you haven't
charged me at the rate of more than
a dollar an hour. What you need is a
business manager, doc. | expected to
be soaked $500, and l would have paid
$1,000.
The Doctor-One hundred dollars is
