THE SUPREME COURT VACANCY

The death of MT. Justice Lurton of the Supreme Court of the United States places a heavy responsibility upon President Wilson in the selec- tion of a successor, at time when important problems, growing out of the new legislation of the present congress, will be pressing for early and wise consideration and decision.
 The present court has established a record for industry and high ser vice. For the first time in gener- ation the court has it's docket we'll cleaned up and is in position to give prompt consideration to cases be- fore it. The court has worked in perfect harmony and its more i'm portant decisions have been practi- cally unanimous.
 Authoritative announcement is made from Washington that Presi- dent Wilson will not consider form CT President Taft for position on the bench. It is stated that Attor- ney General McReynolds, Secretary of War Garrison, Solicitor General Davis, former Solicitor General Fred erick w. Lehman and Secretary Lane are among those being considered by the president for the high office. Strenuous opposition would be of fered to the elevation of Attorney General McReynolds to the position, as his attitude on some of the inn portant issues before the people, par ticularly in the method of dealing with the trusts, has not met with pop ular indorsement. So far as develop ed, there is no such opposition, nor opposition of any kind, to the other names suggested. It is intimated that the president will not make an appointment for several months, as the court will not be in session again until October This will give the president opportunity to make full

THE NATIONS BREADWINNERs.

At the Thirteenth census (191O) there were 3S,756,223 persons ten years of age and over engaged in gainful occupations in the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico, and the military and na- val stations abroad. The gainful workers thus formed 41.5 per cent. of the total population (93,4O2,151) enumerated at that census. These figures are contained in a report on occupations which has just been pub lished by Director William J. Harris, of the Bureau of the Census, Depart ment of Commerce.
 In the total population of the Unit ed States, over two-fifths of all per sons, considerably over three-ifths of all males, but considerably less than one-fifth of all females, were engaged in gainful occupations in 1910; and in the population ten years of age and over, more than one-half of all persons, over four-ffths of the males. but less than one-fourth of the fe' males, were gainfully occupied. In other words, of all persons ten years of age and over, in 1910, more than every other one had gainful occu- patton; of the males, over four out of five were gainful workers, and of the females, almost one out of four was gainful worker.
 Practically one-third (33.2 per cent.) of all gainful workers. in the United States in 1910 were engaged in az riculture, forestry, and animal hus- bandry, and considerably more than one-fourth (27.9 per cent.) were en- gagged in manufacturing and mechan- cal industries. Thus over three tifths of all gainful workers were oc- cupied in these two general divisions of occupations. The remaining two fifths of the workers were distribut- ed among the other seven large class es of occupations, namely, extraction of minerals, transportation, trade, public service, and clerical occupa- tions no class furnishing employment

Concerninu Two Sounds

When Joseph Henry Lumpkin was
chief justice Of Georgia a case was
brought up from Columbus in which a
wealthy citizen asked for an injunc-
ton TO prevent the construction of a
planning mill across the street very near
his palatial residence. His grounds for
complaint consisted chiefly in the pro-
position that the noise of the mill
would wake him too early in the
morning.
Let the mill be built" said the
chief justice I'm rendering his decision.

Effective Eravado.

Lord Cromer's quick and daring
methods in dealing with an Egyptian
rising are illustrated by the following
incident: There were rumors of a ma
tive rising. Cairo was almost openly
disaffected, and the British garrison
was small. His lordship, however,
caused il TO be known that a regiment
was on the way from India. but he
was careful not 10 explain that it con-
sisted OF sick leave and time expired
men and bandsmen. All the able
bodied soldiers in garrison were order
ed TO parade all over the town in small
parties. and the natives did not take
in the fact that they were a sort of
stage army-the same men over and
over again. The last straw was when
Lord Cromer ccolly put on fiannels
and publicly played game after game
Of tennis. This final piece of bravado
nipped the threatened rising in the
bud.-London Express.

How Attraction Acts.

Attraction acts very curiously. Thus
II there were a man in the moon and
il he were like the men on the earth
he would be able TO leap over a three
storid house with as much ease as
an ordinary jumper springs over a
three foot fence. in consequence of the
forces OF attraction being much less
at the moons surface than at the
earth's. An elephant there would be
as light footed as the deer here. a
boy throwing stones might easily land
them in an adjoining county. On the
other hand, the reverse OF all this

Quincy, H., Aug. 10.-Going against

gave Moline sweet revenge for the
previous days defeat by blanking
Quincy by a score of 4 to o Sunday.
Eller allowed Quincy only two hits,
and one Of them was a scratch affair
at that. He struck out six.
Only three of the Champs reached
the initial sack, and after the third
inning Eller's flinging coupled with
stellar support moved down the Quin-
cy batsme1 in one-two-three order.
Eller himself paved the way for the
first run for Moline with single. De-
Voy sacrificed and Hills error fol-
lowed by a clean bingle by Wallace
enabled Eller to score. Singles by De-
voy and White netted the second run.
\ double by Falk and n single by Sta
ley produced the third run, and Wal
lace's two-bagger, Whites single and
a force out at second gave Meals men
the final marker. The score:

First Poor Laws.

Until well within the nineteenth
century the poor men depended al
most entirely upon private benevo-
lence. BY statute of Edward III, 1349,
it was enacted that none should give
aims to a beggar able : work. BY
the common law beggars were to be
sustained by parsons, rectors of
churches and parishioners, so that
none should die for fault of susten-
ance.' nd by Richard III proprietors
were Obliged to distribute a yearly
sum to the poor. The origin of the
present poor law in England is re-
ferred to the time of Elizabeth, 1901.
