The Vacancy In the Supreme Court.

There IL no reason why President
WILSON should not name a Demo-
crat for the vacancy made by the
resignation Of Mr.. Justice HraHEs
from the bench Of the Supreme Court.
provided the a%ppointee Ia a sound law
yer In good standing whose connec
lions are unobjectionable, but there IL
n reason why the duty should be dis
charged without delay. The Court Is
said TO be In arrears In its work. and
this is partly due to the fact that there
are cases on the calendar In which Mr..
Justice M~cI,EYNoLDs appeared when
he was .Attorney-General and in which.
therefore, he could not sit. When the
Supreme Court Is short handed and
behind IN It's work no time should be
lost In giving II the help Of a new As
sociate Justice who Is not disqualified
TO sit in important cases.
II Is reported that Mr.. WILSON may
promote another officer in the De-
partment Of Justice, but was not one
enough? Why add complications TO
the business of the Supreme Court?
Surely an effort should be made to
find the right mar without n handl-
cap. There ought to he 40 difficulty
In finding him. Mr.. WILSON ran he
referred to the Federal Circuit and
District Courts for candidates; and
II he cannot discover an eligible there

proved to he n good Judge In m Of
the lower Federal courts or in n State
Supreme Court has the experience as
well as the learning to write opinions

hunting for n member Of the bar In

edent of Mckinney, ROOSEVELT and

"And the sage ObovYE dreamed n

that the smoke spread over a great
extent Of country. and he fancied that
the great volume Of smoke assumed a
variety Of marvellous forms, where
In dim obscurity he saw Swallowed
out palaces and domes and lofty
spires" The vision faded the Dutch
saint, tapping his nose with his I'm
ger. disappeared. and OLorFE and his
fellow voyagers began to build their
city Of Nieuw Amsterdam.
The smoke Of St NIcHoLAs's pipe
covered not only the lands east of
the river and the bay. but also those
where Weehawken, Hoboken. Jersey
City and Bayonne now stand, while,

standing. those busy districts are as
integrally members OF the great city
that OLoYrE saw in his dream as
Brooklyn or The Bronx, or Manhattan
itself. The project Of waterfront de-
velopment at Bayonne fits into the
| Dutchman's vision not less easily than
| the Chelsea Docks or the Bush Termi-
nal match with It.
For months past the commercial
Imagination Of travellers has been
stirred by the sight Of fleets Of car
riers lying in the upper bay awaiting
. opportunity to take on cargo and
scurry back to Europe. while near by
n long stretch Of shore lies practically
unused. Why not, then, reclaim the
marshes, dredge channels, build piers
and warehouses, and m relieve the
congestion at the broad neck Of the
narrow bother
That is the project set afoot by the
president Of the New Jersey State
Board OF Commerce and Navigation.
It's execution would involve the ex-
penditure Of millions Of dollars; IT
would increase tremendously the ter
minal facilities of this port, for the
salt meadow lands are threaded with
railroad tracks and dotted with
freight yards.
That the plan Is boldly ambitious is
not in Its dlsfavor. It's effect would be,
not Il draw shipping away from the
North River and the East River, but
to take UP the surplus and relieve
congestion. The needs Of trade are
not to be denied satisfaction by the

kept pace with ANGER in gaining Is
per cent. In thirteen years. And he
deduces from the fact that tubercu-
losis has steadily declined, because Of
attention to diet and hygienic living,
that urgent need Of similar methods
for the prevention and cure Of these
other fatal maladies Is demonstrated.

healthy habits Of life. reasonable ex-

cially IN meat, tea and coffee and

Of butter, Of which ne allows a quar-
ter Of a pound a day. He regards the
vegetarian diet as OF paramount I'm

II tho latter proposition can be
demonstrated BY reliable data no

Il may, however, there IA a valuable
lesson to be drawn from DR.. BULK.
LEY's paper, namely. that all persons
under suspicion Of ANGER would act
wisely in adopting the diet and mode
Of life advised. They involve but
little deprivation and may prevent re-
lapses after surgical removal in the
early stage.
The latest bulletin Of the American
Society for the Control Of Cancer
states that "the first and foremost
fact which the public should know
and remember Is that cancer is
durable. The old idea that this dis.
east means positive death no longer
holds good-there should be no fear
Of inheriting the disease; there Is
but n positive cure for cancer,
which Is early and complete removal.
