 The Pope's daily average of 25,o90 pieces of mail compares with about 5000 directed to the Emperor bf Ger many; 5000 to President Taft; 5000 to King George. and about 1000 to the Czar. No other ruler receives on an average as many as a thousand letters and papers daily.
 His Holiness is also far in the lead in the number of his photographs in circulation. Millions of photographs of the Pope are sold every year and the official photographers contribute large sums to the church from the proceeds. Frugality and humility are the keynotes of the character of His Holiness.

 But if the Connecticut judges, are appointed. they are not appointed for life, which accounts for the circurn- stance that the Connecticut bench does not show the deteroriation dis played by the Federal bench.
 The New York Press. which typf- of the great parties, says regarding the proposed reform: .E
 If the trouble with our courts is that they have been drifting away from the people a little more democ- racy for them cannot hurt and 1t may help. The ten-year term idea repre- sents the conviction of good many citizens that Federal judges need a reminder that they owe more to the people than to the few privileged citf- zens who put them where they are.
 1t is human nature to lean toward the fellow who leans toward us. It is not surprising therefore that judges who owe their. .places to corporation influence are biased toward corpora tions in their decisions If the same judges owed their places to the people they would be more apt to consider the common welfare in .construing the law. At any rate the influence of the ballot box upon a judge can never he as disastrous as the influence of a railroad, specially railroad with culm piles to sell.

s.THE FIRST BLUFF CALLED,
(Hartford courant editorial, June

Hartford' Courant editorial, June g.
 The first bluff of the Roosevelt managers has been called, and dowI they came. It was ridiculous and preposterous to declare that Elihr Root or John Smith, selected by the proper committee on organization for temporary chairman of the Chicago convention, should not. serve. But that Mir. Root shouldn't serve. wouldn't sertion of managers and of candidate himself Suddenly it has been drop ped. There will be no opposition to MT. Root, -. pf
 well. they have learned something already and it is likely. to be recorded others For instance, the contention that a. newly designated member of the national committee has a right to seat there before the convention has organized and elected him will go by the board, too. That also is bluff We feel safe in saying that not one of the new members of the national committee where there has been a change will sit with that body before June IS. The only way he could do this would be by getting himself ap- pointed substitute for the regular member.
 Now, if at the start we find two bluffs of this magnitude melting away as soon as sober common sense is applied to them, what of the others? ? How much of the contentious of the is a pity that the Root, controversy was not pushed to it's conclusion. That would have shown the conven- tion the emptiness of certain abund- ant claims.

FIRST THINGS

Christianity was first established among the An9lo-Saxons on this date In 597, when King Ethelbert openly professed the new faith preached by St. Augustine, the first Christian mis. sionary of England.
 The first interview of John Adams the first American minister to Eng land, with the English king, took place 127 years ago.
 The first train was run over the Boston 6 Providence railroad seventy seven years ago. beginning a great era of railroad construction in America.
 Donati's comet was first seen fifty four years ago. 1t had a tail estl- mated to be forty million miles long.
 The first marriage of a United States President during his term of office took place twenty six years ago when Grover Cleveland and Miss Frances Poison were married in the White House at Washington.
 The circulation of the blood was first discovered by Dr. William Harvey. an English anAtomist and physician, who died 255 years ago today. He was born in 1578, studied medicine at Padua, and made his epochal dfscov- cry in 1915. The new theory was of Harvey's time, and it was also de- nounced as a heresy by many reli- gious people. Dr. Havey was also the discoverer of the fact that every anil mai is produced from -an egg.

All very interesting, and very in- structive. As a statistician Irving Fisher, Professor of Political Econo- my of Yale University. is unexcelled. But now that we know all this, what do we propose to do about it? ] pr. Fisher is no panaceaist His
 most ardent friends cannot accuse him of this. He makes no specific effort to point a moral or adorn a tale from his grisly array of figures. And another little point which the Professor entirely overlooks: A half million able and partially
 willing workers are kept constantly from the useful productive activity because we have produced so much food that thousands starve to death yearly.
 We are so fabulously wealthy, that millions know not where their next meal is coming from.
 We manufacture such mountains of cloth that hordes of ragged. out-of-
 workers do not have the wherewithal to cover their nakedness. We import such Golcondas of gew- gaws and jimcracks that whole arm- ies haven't two cents to cymbal against each other. This over-production, which infests us like a cancer of evil. results in absolute impoverishment for legions.
 If there a remedy? There is. but Professor Fisher ignores it, or is
 blissfully unconscious of it-or per- haps we might more charitably say, it is too "practicar' to be talked in Yale University.

thirteen days after the birth of Will liam Howard Taft in the same Ohio city. Like her future husband, Miss Heron came of a family that had numbered many legal lights among it's members, and she inherited ju- dicial temperament that made her the ideal wife for Mr. Taft. Her father, John w. Heron, was long United States district attorney, and a close friend of President Hayes. Miss Her ron's acquaintance with the White House began long before her arrival there as it's mistress, as, when a girl in her teens, she was often the guest of President and Mrs. Hayes at the executive mansion in Washington, Little did she dream-to use the ac- cepted and orthodox phrase-that she would some day occupy the Presiden- chief executive.
 A June baby, Miss Heron was also June bride. The romance of "Nen'' Heron and "Lub'' Taft began when she was ''in the Third Reader and he entertained ambitions to go Wes. through the years when she was the belle of the fair co-eds of the Univer- sity of Cincinnati and ssBig Bill' Taft a loyal and loud-voiced son of Old Eli. On the nineteenth of June, in 1886. there was a wedding in the Her and his blushing bride set blithely forth Europeward honeymooning. And they lived happy ever after.
 A devoted wife and mother and a charming and amiable first lady of the republic is Mrs. Taft. The du- ties and responsibilities of her exalt- ed position have been fully lived up to, but without accompaniment of brass bands or megaphones Being of a somewhat retiring disposition, and not given to counting publicity, Mrs. Taft's opinions on public questions are not generally known. She is a suffragist, but conservative one, and has scant sympathy with window sna aashing methods. She holds that

 CONSERVATIVE SUFFRAGIST

In supplying biographical details for publication in works of reference, most ladies-God bless 'em-are de lightfully indefinite Beyond advanc- ing the information that they were born, which is the only eminently re- spectable way of arriving in the world, they are vague and elusive. An exception to the rule is Mrs. Will liam Howard Taft, who has never made any attempt to conceal the fact that she was born on the second day of June, in the year 1861, and is thus fifty-one years old. It is not only gallant, but truthful, to add that she does not look it.
 Helen Heron was born in Cincin- natl, three years. three months and
