Another tradition of the United States
Supreme Court has been shattered An
associate justice went home to vote
the other day. When 1t was argued
against Judge Hughes a few weeks ago
that he had not shown interest enough
in public questions even to make a trip
to New York for elections, the reply
was forthcoming that for a great many
years it has not been customary for mem
bers OF the Supreme Court to spend the
time to travel home to cast their bal
lots The argument was quieted. It was
fit tradition to destroy. Members Of
the Supreme Court are still citizens and
may we'll spend the time necessary to per-
form the citizens primary duty at the
election time-that of casting his ballot.

conviction grows stronger that the de-
portatfon Of Belgium's manhood by Ger
man authority must be in contemplation
OF the at least probable evacuation of the
kingdom. The release of 100000 German
workmen Tor service in the army does not
anord sufncient reason for this step. 1t
Is considered strong possibiIitv ana
that Germany desires to leave behind
her no able-bodied men who can be used

The State railroad commission of
California has decided that when a
S. gold piece has been drop
ped in a nickle-in-the-slot telephone
machine its value should be divided
between the company and the man
in whose business place the tele-
phone is situated. The decision ap-
parcntly means that anybody foolish
enough TO do such a thing is not
worth considering.

Congress has proceeded slowly and eau
tiously in the exercise of its authority
over interstate commerce, and so far as
railroad service Is concerned, the coun-
try is the worse of because of this DELAY
and hesitation, The time has come for
another long step forward in the exercise
of these Constitutional powers. That step
involves the emancipation of the rail-
roads from State interference, the emanci-
patton Of investors from crooked financier-
ing. the emancipation of the public from
strikes and lockouts, and general re-
organization of railroad traffic under the
direction OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission. II Is stupendous under
taking, but it ought to be done now.-

Seen and Heard
By George Miner

New York, Nov. 2s.-There is a
daily paper down in Vera Cruz that
certainly has the courage of its con-
victions. 1t speaks right out in meet
ing and is doing more mud raking
than the yellowest American jour
nal ever dreamed of attempting. The
strange part of it is, however, that
up to date there is no report of the
editors being shot or even sued for
libel.
The New York Tribune's famous
expose of fake business methods in
this city is not a patch on what this
Vera Cruz paper is doing. The col
umn is printed daily and is headed,
bad Business Men and Uncivil En-
ployes." An explanatory head note
says, "The following directory will
give the names of those who commit
abuses which come to our knowl-
edge"
| have translated and will quote a
few from a recent issue of the paper
which has just arrived.
la Concordis, Avenida de la In
dependencia-Sells boxes containing
fifteen matches for 10 cents and when
customer accidentally breaks a
glass he is obliged to pay 81 when
the cost is only Is cents.
Restaurant Galicia, Francisco Ca
nal street-Charges 40 cents for a
water ice or glass of lemonade or
other soft drinks.
Drugstore de Santo Domingo,
Avenida Observation-Disclosures ex-
cessive prices, much higher than
other houses.
"The Driver of Coach No. 463-
Charges much more than the legal
rate.
LA Pila Bakcry-Has arbitrary
prices and treats its customers badly.
la Parroqui Cafe-The glasses are
dirty and the employees treat the pub
la Camelia Cafe-Treats custo-
mers badly and gives them short
change.
Restaurant del Club de Regates-
Charges very high prices, as much as
if the food were the Pearls of the
Virgin
"The Cafe Cosmopolite-Charges
Is cents for refreshments that only
cost 25 cents in all other places.
"Oriente Barber Shop, Gale de
Zaragosa-Charges ST for hair cut
and another ST for shave.
la Lucinda, corner Francisco Ma
dero street and Rayon--Sclls articles
that are obnoxious to the health"
Here is suggestion to American
editors. Any paper starting de-
partment like this would be sure to
have circulation boom. 1t would
be interesting to watch the expert
mcnt, from a safe distance.
By the way. heard from Mexico
CITY that the famous old Belen pris-
on, which, for generations, has been
noted for its medieval conditions. has
been converted into public bath
and wash house. This is certainly
the irony of fate. The horribly filthy
Bclcn turned into bath-house! The
suffering that has been endured there
is unthinkable.
The present prison in Mexico City,
that of Santiago, is in the outskirts
and is an entirely modern and up-to-
date structure with all hygienic and
other appliances necessary to the we'll
being of the prisoners.
The prison of the Castle of San
Juan de Ulua, in Vera Cruz Harbor,
has been converted into museum.
Thus pass two plague spots OF the
republic, thanks to the reforms inStl-
tuted by the present government. 1t

that Mrs. Nelson O'Shaughnessy de-
scribes so vividly in all its revolving
details in her book "A Diplomats

Richard Harding Davis.

The sudden death Of Richard Harding Davis
at his New York home has removed an unique
figure from the world Of contemporary Journal
iTm. Mr. Davis had attained TO some dlstinc-
ton as novelist and ~ a dramatist, but
through II all he was essentially newspaper
man. His earlier ventures into fiction we're
largely based on experiences In newspaper Of
fees. and were, perhaps, his best sellers" A.
any rate, he never eKcelled them In point Of In
tereat, although much Of his later work was on
more ambitious lines. Az war correspondent
he came into much prominence In connection
with the short-liyed Graeco-Turkirh campaign,
and with the Spanish American war. He was
at the front when the Japanese and Russians
were At close grips. and then went through the
conflict between tho Balkan Allies and the
Turks When the war cloud burst over Europe.
"Dlcky" Davis was on tho crest Of the German
wave, and for his enterprise all but faced n
firing squad "eomewhcre in France" actually
having been sentenced TO death. His work was
mot monumental, but II was seryiccabie. m a
"passng brief chronicle Of the time" and
American periodical literature Will miss much
Of It's picturesque quality because Richard Hard
irR Davis II no longer writing.
