Changes in the Supreme Court.

There is not single member of
the supreme court of President
Harrison s day now serving on
the bench. Twenty-six years . is
not IA long time for continuity Of
service in the lower courts. There
are hundreds of judges appointed
ut the age Of 50 who are still in
full mental vigor at 70, and not
a few cases of this kinda are to be
found in the lower federal and
state courts. Even Chief Justice
White however, is able to point
to Il judicial record of only TWEEN
ty-six years. He was appointed
by Cleveland in February, 1894,
and all the members with whom
he was associated at that time
have passed away. President
Taft had the honor of appointing
a full majority Of the supreme
court in the course of his four
wears in office. He appointed
Justices Hughes, Van Dcvanter,
Lamar and Pitney. President
Wilson has already made two APP
Observation-Disclosures and
Brandeis. Despite all the changes
that have taken place in recent
wears. more eases were disposed
of by the supreme court during
it's recent term than in any other
term since 1890. A total of SAT
eases were decided, while in 1890
there were G1O cases. There still
remain on the docket 522 cases.
