FREE FIELD FOR JUSTICE
FOUR RECEIVING HIGHEST NUM-
BER OF VOTES WILL BE NOM.
MATED, SAYS CRAWFORD.

~ The question has been asked as TO
the election of supreme court justices,
and how they were selected. The at
torpey general holds that it is FREQ
field and that everybody is running
against everybody else for the place.
Under this ruling, as there arc four
justices to be electea}, the four receiv-
ing the greatest number of votes will
be nominated on each ticket, and at the
election the four getting the most votes
will be elected. There are seven or
eight republican candidRtes so far and
at least three democrats, However
there is plenty Of time yet and the
number may be added to.

Here is a tip for you, Mr. Fam
lily builder, il here is any par
ticular season for opportunities
in real estate, no better time ex.
lists than right now, and this is
the reason why:
There are just as many choice
offerings on the market today as
there ever were before and few.
er buyers are in the field. This
is because so many people take
certain time to do certain things,
and fail TO realize that opportu-
mites are offered every day.
You want proof Of thisH All
right, just turn to the realty ads

PRESS OPINIONS
BIG BUBBLES PRICKED.
(Memphis News-Scimitar.)

(Memphis NeWs-Scimitar.)
The New York Times says of the
Claflin company's failure that "it is a
house of cards which has fallen" and
the Wall Street Journal declares that
the big corporation failed because it
was based on combination of whole
sale and retail business, which impos-
ed on it a financial burden heavier
than it could bear" 1t declares that
the late J. P. Morgan, who is said to
have been interested in financing the
top-heavy concern, saw this clearly
and that ut is not too much to say
that he been alive the result would
shave been foresen and therefore rem
dered largely harmless"
In the opinion of the Springfield
Republican, what the New Haven
was in yailroading the Claflin COM
dising. The parallel in some ways is
striking. In both cases one finds the
old, well-established concern with a
character beyond reproach and rep
utation for unfailing profits and divi-
dends transformed into an overweight
ed, unwieldy and unmanageable en-
terprise. Ideas of bushes prudence
tested by centuries of experience were
thrown to the winds in financing
them. The principle of combination
was supposed to carry some magic
with it capable of multiplying even the
multiplication table,"
1t is very evident that the craze for
gigantic enterprises and monopolies is
passing in America.
In the last few years we have seen a
good many of these bubbles, especially
in the railroad line, pricked. They go
counter to experience and good bust
ness, and it is time their day should
come to a close.
Clearly their collapse has nothing to
do with general trade conditions, pres
ent or prospective, except to bring
them to sounder foundation.
