impossible to live upon the salary.
That would have been a good reason.
| have heard 1t said that Judge Cur
tis's retainers and fees in the first
years of his practise after he had re-
tired from the Supreme Court bench
were greater than the aggregate
amount of the salaries of all of the
Supreme Court justices, including
the chief Justice.
Years later l heard from an emil
nent lawyer what he believed to be
an explanation for Judge Curtis's res
ignation. He sat upon the bench at
the time of the hearing of the famous
Dred-Scott case-a case which is now
historic. The impression was that
some member of the Supreme Court
had permitted premature publication
of the opinion At all events some
thing occurred in the privacy of the
Supreme Court council chambers
which caused Judge Curtis to believe
that there had been dishonorable play
somewhere. He had written an opin-
ion in the Dred-Scott case, dissenting
in toto from the majority opinion
which was. in effect. that the negroes
of the United States had no rights
which the white man was bound to
respect.
cat all events, there was a quarrel
and a very bitter one. l suppose nc
one will ever know the exact fact OF
this quarrel, but it was so bitter as to
cause Judge Curtis to throw up his
commission as associate justice of the

practise of the law. | am certain thai
it is the only incident of this kind thai

How High Is Your Headp

The woman who faces the world
with courage and who fears nothing
carries her head high.
The result is an insurance against
ugliness and old age.
To carry the chin high costs MOTH
ing-scarcely thought or an sfforr--
while the rewards are manifold.
They are greater even than those
which may be given you by the pro-
fessional beauty specialist impaired
by the powder-puff or transferred by
the rouge-stick.
An erect carriage, a firm. steady,
sure step and head properly poised
are significant of health, buoyancy,
courage and strength.

Shaw Play offends Critics

LONDON, Nov. 19.-Bernard Shaw's
'thumbnail sketch of Russian court
life in the eighteenth century, en-
titled THE Great Catherine" received
its first performance at a vaudeville
theatre last night. The author again
found the critics in an unfavorable
mood. They accuse him of lacking
originality, of resorting to many
tricks of the old-fash oned farce and
casting gibes at Englishmen.

A 1914 Republican Convention.
L Il

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Many enthusiastic Republicans will
see hope for their badly demoralized
organization in the informal an
nouncement that the law committee
having the mater in charge has re-
ported in favor of calling a national
convention some time In 1914 and
that such a convention is likely to be
called by the national committee. Yet
the outlook is pretty gloomy as seen
by most close and philosophical stu
dents of party development in
America.
A national convention can end the
| use of rotten borough delegations
controlled by patronage to overcome
delegations from States where repre-
sentative methods are prevailing in
the national councils of the Repub-
lican party. 1t can remove some of
the injustices against which the
Roosevelt protest was aimed. 1t may
offer an olive branch to the boilers,
who took from 1t every State save
Vermont and Utah; but the olive
branch can hardly be made inviting
to the boilers.
In the last analysis the difference
between the Taft wing and the
Roosevelt wing of the party as it
existed before the convention of 1912
is not one of rival personal ambitions.
1t is vital The party of conservatism,
of respect for the courts, of cham
pionship for vested rights, could not
convince Colonel Roosevelt that it is
in sympathy with him if 1t were to
try; and it could not try without
utterly stultifying itself and proving
recreant to its most honored ira
ditions. There lies the real bar In the
way of pacificatory national con-
vention in an off year.

Test Tint Is Coming.

From the New York journal of Com
merce.
The time is now rapidly approaching
when Secretary McAdoo will begin,
under the terms of his original offer,
to call in the funds he advanced to
banks in the west and south on the
strength of commercial paper. This
end of the transaction will furnish
the real test of It's desirability and
worth In former years such attempts
to call in advances made by the treas
ury have usually been met by the
exertion of political pressure for the
retention of the money. Under Sec
rotary Shaw such resistance was or
dinarily successful, at least in some
degree. Can the treasury department
today refuse demands for an extern
sion If they proceed from banks that
are in a somewhat weak or doubt
full condition and force them to
"clean up" their accommodations
and start fresh on their own re-
sources? The answer will doubtless
be partly dependant upon the char
acter of the credit and commercial
situation existing in that part of the
country which has the funds.

Among American women this day
stands out as the birthday of Mary
Anna Hallock Foote, who was born in
Milton, N Y. in 1849. AS a young
girl her life was quiet and uneventful,
broken only by few seasons study
at an art school and occasional writ
ing. At twenty-nine she married a
civil engineer, Arthur Foote, whose
business called them into the far
West. Here Mrs. Foote made SYM
pathetic study of Western characters
and has written stories of mining
camps and ranches, excelled only by
those of Bret Harte.

overworking Gloom.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
The worldwide restriction of spec
ulative activity receives startling
demonstration in a report from Lon
don that 500 members of the Stock
Exchange contemplate reslgning at
the end of the fiscal year, in March.
This is almost too sensational, al
though it has been known for long
time that business in securities IN
London was at a low ebb. The eff
fects of great credit strain have been
apparent in various directions, the
insistent accumulation of gold and
clear intimations by British bankers
of forced reprisals should America
seek to import the metal. Canada
has been told quite plainly that its
new capital applications in London
must cease and recent attempts at
notations have had decidedly frosty
reception. Yet it does not follow that
prostration of interest in securities
Is so great as to induce 800 members
of the Stock Exchange to go out of
business at one time. The report
would seem to be extreme, admitting
the conservatism of European finan-
cial markets generally
1t is part of a worldwide condi-
ton. The New York Stock Exchange
is quiet enough and speculative en-
ergy well-nigh has departed. 1t does
not follow that affairs are worse than
ever-they are not. While New York
Stock Exchange memberships are
selling at less than one-half the
record price of seven or eight years
ago. they still command nearly three
times the low record of recent times.
1t is a suggestive range, the price of
memberships-from $4,000 in 1896 to
$4,000 ten years later, and then down
to $4,000 in July. this year, with $40,-
900 reported last week.
We are inclined to a suspicion that
alarmist reports of the nature quoted
may have an object. Undeniably
London. like other financial centres,
is conservative and Is exercising
wisdom in it's handling of the money
market and its restraint of possible
overborrowing or promoting. These
are times of world-caution, but it is
a long distance from sagacious care
for prevention of possible ills to an
out-and-out crisis of collapse, such
as wholesale dropping out of the
London Stock Exchange, as suggest
ed. would mean.

In the August Presence.


From the New York Sun.
Word has just been received by
cable from Breslau, Germany, that 1t
is not only dangerous but criminal to
gaze fixedly OF policeman. Let us
quote the dispatch verbatim:
Sentence of q fortnight in prison
for staring at policeman was inn
posed on a business man of this city
today. In his defense the defendant
said he believed the policeman was
observing him too conspicuously so
he stared back The court in pro-
nouncing judgment said the defendant
had been guilty of a most serious in
suit to an official"
We are glad to see this ruling be-
cause 1t fails to affirm the decision of
Associate Justice Stobbs. of a Massa-
chusetts district court. In the case of
Eli Boosada, who was arrested in
Worcester by Patrolman Sweeney, the
court held that 1t was not a crime to
groan in the presence of the peeler.
Citizens of this and other countries
| have long been uncertain as to pre-
cisely what is the proper frame of
| voice and appropriate demeanor that
| should be assumed in the august pres
ence. And now these two opposite
rulings only tend TO make this highly
| important matter all the more con-
fusing to suffering humanity.
For obviously it is a much more
heinous offense to groan at a man
than to stare at him. 1t is, indeed,
fortunate for Eli Boosada that he
groaned in Worcester and not in Bres-
lau. A German court understands
what constitutes contempt of peelers,
and the insult to Patrolman Sweeney
would probably have received a just
punishment. If fortnight for star
ing is lawful (and we truly believe it
isl, then any sentence short of six
months would be lenient for groan-
ing.

AN INQUIRY.
Why Was the Election Fixed for
the Fair Grounds Bond Issue Re-
called?

There was held yesterday evening
meeting of the directors OF the
State Fair of Louisiana, at which
there were voiced expressions OF re-
gret over the City Councils recall
ing of the election fixed for Febru-
ary 4;-at which the issue OF bonds
for the purchase of the Schumpert
property was to be submitted to a
vote.
A committee was named to call
on the City Commissioners to IN
Guire into the wherefore of this re-
call.
It was suggested that the date OF
February 4 be reinstated, but this
would be inconsistent with the law
This election having been recalled
it could not be held until the lssu-
ance of another proclamation OF
election, approved by the majority
of the commissioners. The opinion
of the directors is that this issue
should not be complicated with ali
election for bonds for other pur-
poses.
At this meeting, in accordance
with the resolution providing de-
partments, with a director at th'
head of each department, President
McClOud announced his assignments

Shreveport should acquire posi-
ton in the Southern Base Bal
League. 1t has been estimated tina
il will require $4,000 to get int
this league, and it takes another

of the league agoing.

HON. EMERSON BENTLEY
Is a Candidate for the Office Of Judge
of the First Judicial District.

As indicated by formal announce
meut, Hon. Emerson Bentley is a
candidate for the office of Judge OF
the First Judicial District, vacated
by the death of Judge 7. F. Bell.
In seeking this office he is actuat-
ed by a laudable ambition which is
ever commendable and as an incen-
tive should be encouraged, especial
ly when it is eyinced by young men
possessing the ability and the re-
quirements to fill the position they
would fill.
The aspirant for this judgeship is
young man, self-made, who from
his boyhood has had to rely on
himself, since at fourteen years he
was bereft of his father, and by his
efforts he gradually equipped him
self to become a lawyer. in which
profession he has attained distinc-
ton.
Having resided in Shreveport
twelve years and being thoroughly
identified with thesbest interests Of
this community, as a progressive
citizen, Mr.. Bentley may be COM
mended to the favorable considera-
ton of the voters of Caddo Parish,
and should he be elected he gives
the assurance that he will fulfill
every obligation and every respon-
sibility of the office to the best OF
his ability.
