The Arizona Judueship

We may expect, among the earlier appointments by the president, that of United States district judge for Arizona. There has been vast accumu- lation of business, mostly of criminal nature. since the discharge of the last grand jury and there is a large number of less important cases the civil docket demanding early attention. Judge Morrow of the Circuit court has been desig- mated hold this district the desig- nation is formal and really intended only empower him in matters which may claim instant attention and which may be attended to in San Francisco as we'll as in Phoenix

The Railroad Laws

Though the state has its contention in the injunction suit the railway porters against the enforcement of the law which prevents them from acting fasmen, the main issue the three cent fare case remains be decided by the circuit court appeals
 This held in the porters case that the state in enacting the law which the porters complained. moved within its proper police powers for securing the greater safety passengers. It was not contended that the exercising police powers in enacting the three cent fare law.
 But in deciding in favor in the porters' suit the overrules of the com tentions of the railroads in the three cent fare that the three fare law is in violation of the fourteenth amendment the constitution of the United States, inasmuch it proposes. in the penalty clause to abridge the privileges of the plaintiffs in the and deprive them of their property without due process of law. A similar objection raised the railway porters' law. If such provision violative of the consu- tuition. the enactment of it could not be regarded as proper exercise of police powers in any The is therefore evidently of the opinion that it is voIative
 The court had already indicated that it would withhold judgment in three cent fare case until the state had passed upon the allegation by the defendants. of irregularities regarding the terendum election. That does necessarily signify that the circuit court Will be guided DN the state court but it may that the former desires that that subject may be brought before it in other way than by an injunction petition
 But the decision in the porters' case practically determines the attitude of the circuit court to the allegation of irregularities.
 It is understood that the hesitation of the court perhaps rather its delay is caused less by the pending decision the than by the pend Minnesota in the United States supreme court where it taken an appeal from Judge San born who denied the right of the state fix which would affect interstate commerce It of the allegations of the petition in the three cent fare that the proposed three cent fare law would affect interstate passenger If the Min nesota should be reversed and the court, sustaining the three cent fare law against the charge of Irregularities in the election, should be in turn sustained, there would be left to the roads only the allegation that the law is confscatory

Fashion and Bird Plumage

 At first glance it appears strange tha- the pro- tectors of American birds should ask G)r which utterly prohibits the importation of the plumage of birds from foreign countries. Tn ob- Jec of the advocates of this legislation is to American birds, and it seems reasonable ID suppose that the use of European Asiatc feathers Womens hats would lessen the demand for the feathers of American birds, and consequently dssu them in some degree against slaughter.
 As a matter of fact that is not the The fashion for feathers of any kind a greIt demand, and calls American fathers into There is always some spot where bird protection is lax. That is the strategic point where the feathcr-bar- barians make their attack

When Latin is Abbreviated

A letter from Maj. William Grebe of Bonner Springs to The Star time ago inquired the meaning of the Latin inscription which adorns the seal on the new pension checks. The inscription runs, "Thesaur. Amer. Septent SigiI.' The major who has read Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Horace and a number of other Roman authors. say nothing of HerOdotus and few of the Greeks, admitted it was beyond him. And small wonder was also be- yond two high school Latin teachers to whom it propounded.
 Finally a girl of 16, pupil in Miss Barstow's school, dug out the meaning. The four Latin words signify The Seal of the Treasury North America" All the Latin words abbreviated in inscrip- tiOn and "septent,' which the sticking point" in the inscription, is d verb might very easily suppose but abbreviated and somewhat usual adjective meaning north. The first syl- fables changed form the Latin word sep tenn meaning seven. The way seven happens to be in adjective meaning north that the ancients, who great star gaZers associated the north with the stars forming the constellation of the Great Bear

 Johnson, MT. Burke justly observed ap- pears far greater in BosWeiIs book than his own His conversation appears to have been quite equal to his writings in matter. and far superior them in manner. When he talked, he clothed his wit and his sense in fOrcble and natural expressions. As soon he took his pen his hand to write for the public his style became systematically vicious. All his books are written in learned language: in d language which nobody hears from his mother or his nurse; in a language in which nobody quar- rels, or drives bargains makes love; in language in which nobody thinks.
