Jaycox dismissed the complaint on the
ground that Judge Hylan was de facto

District Attorney Cropsey requested
Judges Hylan and Roy to complete the

taken to the Court Of Appeals. arrange
ments having been made to have 1t
passed upon by the higher court before
the July recess.
Justice Jaycox In his decision says:
THE constitutional amendment is so
clear that construction Is unnecessary.
1t provides for two additional county
judges and prescribes the method by
which they shall be chosen, not the sue
cessors OF the first incumbents. but the
first incumbents themselves. The addi-
tional county judges shall be chosen at
the general election II is their choice
at the general election which calls them
into being Under the amendment there
are no additional county judges until
they are chosen as in the amendment pro-
vided. This Interpretation conflicts with
no other provision OF the constitution.
Any other Interpretation does conflict
with other provisions. To my mind such
Interpretation as Is contended for by the
defendants would be In direct conflict with
Article 10, Section 5, which provides:
The Legislature shall provide for filling
vacancies in offices, and In case OF cleo
tive officers, no person appointed to Ali a
vacancy shall hold his Office by virtue OF
such appointment longer than the COM
mencement Of the political year next sue
ceeding the first annual election after the
happening Of the vacancy"
Justice Jaycox points out that other
constitutional provisions which deal
with the filing Of vacancies conflict with
the amendment relating to additional
county judges, because an election OF
county judges would have to be held this

FORGOT TO ASK THE LADY.
Widow tainted When Her Engage

Youths Companions: Ludwig Will

in 1917 a councillor of the consistory at

clever work with statistics. For many
years he had been a widower, he be-
gan to look round for a wife. Then the
thought of marrying again first came
to him, he Immediately confided it to
one of his friends. The latter gave
him every encouragement, and even
went so far as to mention a certain
charming little widow, who was GER
tainly attached to him. and would
make him a most devoted wife.
That night Herr Bruggemann went
to bed in a happy state of mind, think
ing of the lovely widow. In his dreams
he still saw her, and ven proposed to
her. Did she refuse? How could she!
And he spent the remainder of the
night dreaming of the happiness they
would enjoy as man and wife.

Aad MnkinlaM liNAd.

st. Louis Republic: The indemnity
which the administration purposes to
pay to Columbia may properly be re-
garded as part Of the price that this
country has had to pay for the assas-
sination Of William Mckinley.
Had Mr.. Mckinley lived to complete
his second term in the presidency, the
Panama canal would have been built,
but there would have been no Panama
scandal. There would have been no
taking of the isthmus. There would
have been no wanton and deliberate
violation by the United States Of it's
treaty obligations.
Mr.. Mckinley would have secured a
title to the canal zone by fair and
honorable diplomacy. He would not
have prejudiced the American case
with Colombia at the outset by per-
hitting the paid lobbyist of the Pana-
ma Canal company to participate in
the negotiations and act as a state
department. He would not have al
lowed the financial interests Of the
canal company to be made paramount
to the honor Of the United States.
The French company might have OBJ
tanned $40, 900, 900 for Its property, but
Mr.. Mckinley would never have en-
ployed the military forces Of this
country to sustain a bought-and -paid-:
for revolution to that end.
Mr.. Mckinley had practice, tact and
g. sympathetic understanding Of men.
He would have been the friend and
counsellor Of Colombia in these nego-
tiations; he would AVE sought to pro-
tect all her legitimate interests. ana
he would have smoothed away every
obstacle. The more ardently he de-
sired the selection Of the Panama
route, the more scrupulously just he
would have been in his relations with
Colombia.
Whatever apology anybody makes
for the conduct of Mr.. Roosevelt the
record stands. Neither he nor any Of
his supporters has ventured to meet
the evidence presented by the world.
He alone is responsible for the blot on
the American title to the Panama
canal, and that blot should be erasea.

Our Spies in France.

New York World: If many Ameri-
cans were not as FOND Of smuggling as
they are Of extortionate tariffs, the
French government would have no Oc-
casion to complain Of our customs
spies abroad.
1t was found necessary many years
G to put these secret agents upon
the track Of citizens of the United
States whose purchases In foreign
countries were not always duly de-
clared on their return. Through the
espionage thus established. some ex-
prises have been defeated and many
an individual who hoped to import
valuables duty free exposed.
To accomplish these nds our Gus
toms spies evidently have had the CO.
operation of French merchants, some
Of whom. finding transatlantic pat
ronage declining, now protest against
the system. 1t may be that there is
merit in the suggestion Of the French
government that it Is highly irregular
to maintain American representatives
within it's jurisdiction who are not rec
ognized at the embassy or the consul
ate-general, but there Is a certain ir-
regularity about smuggling also.
1t is an unpleasant business and
not at all to the credit of the people
of the United States. Perhaps on sec
ond thought the foreign minister at
Paris will conclude that the present
position Of his mercantile countrymen
is quite as d~ishonorable. Formerly they
assisted in the detection of the SNUG

AMERICAN WOMEN LACK
CULTURE, SAYSDR MAX
N0RDAU TN CRITICAL ESSAY

DR.. Max Nordau in La Revue: Euro
pean literature is interested in the
American man who has supplied it
with a type . This type, to be sure
is incorrect and deceiving; if not in
vented out of whole cloth it is exag-
gerated, incomplete and conventional
to a puerile degree. Nevertheless, it is
clearly outlined, expressive and pic
turesque.
But as for the American woman
you will seek her in vain in European
literature. She is not there. She has
not inspired novelists; dramatists have
passed her by with indifference.
The American man Is little known in
Europe. If he is not a diplomat or
consul, and has not the professional
obligation of living in society, he does
not, as a rule, seek to mingle with
Europeans. He usually sticks to his
fellowcountrymen whom he meets in
their clubs and exclusive homes.
On the other hand, one meets the
American woman everywhere. She
shines wherever living Is expensive,
wherever people are slaves to fashion.
On her attention centers at the fash
ionable summer resorts or those famed
for winter sports, at cosmopolitan
watering places, on the Cote d'Azur, in
Paris.
She fishes for invitations and gets
plenty Of them. She is neve absent
from any of the places where, by the
law governing the wealthy class, one
must be if one wishes to count. More
over. she is almost always strikingly
beautiful, often charming, always ele-
CANT and possessing irreproachable
taste-a "parvenue" on account of the
prices that she pays for everything,
but never on account for her choice of
colors and styles.
, She likes to associate with Euro
peans and make no mystery about this
elective sympathy Of hers, but, in spite
of this, she is not repaid in kind except
in the necessarily limited circle Of
dowry hunters. She Is a queen in the
showrooms and t~rying-on rooms of the
Rue de Ia Paix, because she does not
confine herself merly to buying, but
for what she buys, a quality
which d~ifferentiates her sharply from
fashionable European customers, even
of the highest class.
Painters and musicians pay court to
her, dreaming Of having her pose for a
portrait, or Of obtaining her patronage
for a concert, or Of being chosen to
contribute something to the program
at her s%oirees.
But independent persons. those who
expect nothing from her, feel not in the
least attracted, and remains Indifferent
to her. She fails to become an intel
lectual center or to play any role in So
ciety except that Of brutal opulence.
There is no dearth of American
women who have made Paris their
permanent residence and live there in
lavish style, to say nothing Of those
who, by marriage, have entered the
first families Of the European aristo-
cracy and, by virtue of their name,
coat of arms and coronet, and the no

RECORD PRICES.

Perhaps the steady advance in the
, price of meat will prove a good thing
for the public in the end, by COMPEL
ing a more systematic study Of the
subject han that yet been made and
by forcing farmers into beef raising,
If beeves are selling at a record
price, there ought to be a great deal of
profit in them for somebody. And if
, there is a good profit in them for the
man who raises them, it is clear that
there will be an increase in the num-
Der of men so occupied, unless arbl-
trary practices are such that the profit
goes to somebody other than the
| raiser.
There are points which the govern
/ ment has yet to investigate thorough
ly; and when such an investigation is
made, relief may be obtained.
It is evident, however, that n OF
the tricks of the trade" Is being made
to play a prominent part in the present
publicity given to high prices; and it
is against the h%ardships imposed by
the employment Of this trick that the
| public should seek to defend itself.
The announcement that beef is sell
ing for SO a hundred is altogether
misleading. Only a very small per-
centage Of cattle placed on the market
the highest grade stall-fed- steers
command so high a price. Yet the
dealer is ready with the argument that
his supply costs $50 a hundred in
selling grades of beef which have cost
far less.
Few people ever see any of the $40
a hunded" quality of meat, though
many may be compelled to pay accord
ing to that record price.
However. it will do no good to deny
that all grades Of beef are now ex-
cessively costly; and again it is sug-
gested that this condition of affairs
may be a godsend in disguise, mas
much as it may inspire the govern
mert to make a more scientific inquiry
than it has yet made into ways and
meany Of increasing the supply, and
reducing the cost.

CROSSES COLUMBUS PATH.
Southern Route for Transatlantic
Flight Has Many ADVANTAGES,

New York Press: An entirely new
route has been tentatively selected for
the trans-oCeanic flight which is soon
to be undertaken by Lieutenant Porte
of covering the northern route 1t
has been determined to go back to the
southern one, the first leg of which was
covered by no less a pioneer In ocean
sailing than Christopher Columbus
rather more than 400 years ago.
All the students of this ocean flight
problem have substantially agreed that
the first attempt should be on the out
currents are more favorable. Further,
there has been substantial agreement
that the eastern extreme of Newfound-
land was the proper stepping-off place
airline to Queenstown, Ireland, is only
1854 miles, and the new Wanamaker
machine has been expected to cover
this distance barring mishaps.
But Lieutenant Porte Is not in favor
of the Queenstown route. He will fly
southeastward from st. Johns, N. F.,
to the Azores Islands, by airline only
LAO miles. Thus he will cross the
track which Columbus made; for Col
umbus used the Azores as his last STEP
ping stone on the way to the New
World, just as Porte now to
use them as the last one on the way to
the old.
BY taking the southern route the
aviator will make the long leg Of his
flight one-third shorter. on the other
hand, he will be farther from the beat
en- path of shipping in the North At
lantic lane which means less chance to
be picked up in case of disaster.
Against this he will have the advan-
tage of escaping the heavy fogs of the
North Atlantic route. More important,
perhaps, than even those c%onsidera-
tions, he will be flying in a warmer
climate; and the possibility of numb
ness from the cold is a very serious
element.
