Our Supreme Court.

EmphaticalIy Judge Ro NIB erry
should have no opposition whatever.
His election to the supreme court
should be foregone conclusion; and it
would be but for the intrusion of mis-
chievous, petty, personal, fractional
politics. BY every consideration Of
dignity, decency and justice, to keep
the bench from the faint of partisan
ism, to insure the permanancy of its
reputation for character, ability and
impartiality, Judge Rosenberry's cleo
ton is demanded Rarely has civic
situation developed in this state where
the call to lofty citizenship is so lmper-
ative, where the crisis in cur judicial
affairs is go acute. It is time when
every honorable citizen must do his
duty if he would save our great court
from the degradation of being used to
satisfy unworthy ambitious and to fur
Their the low purposes of designing pol
iticians.
Judge Rosenberg has made the Ideal
Judge, as he is the Ideal Citizen.
Few men within even the widest cir
Gle of acquaintances is. so big IN all
round worth so rich in learning of the
law, so conscientious in his fulfillment
of official obligations, SO catholic IN his
everyday activities, so zealously pa
triotic, so cordial in his relationship to
our commercial organizations, so de-
voted to every movement promotive to
higher and purer citizenship. Seldom
is found in one individual so remark
able a combination of scholarship and
good fellowship, of industry, eloquence-
sound common sense and sweet spirit,
quality.
Judge Rosenberg is christian gen
tleman and the able, correct judge.
His election should be by majority so
overwhelming as to discourage further
attempts to rape the bench. Madison

cd. which Professor Fitz says Is his
contribution to science" is based up
on a series of mathematics. He does
not find it necessary to see, touch or
hear the subject, as his work, which
he terms "voice diagnosis" has be-
come as definite to him as mathe-
matics. All he asks is that certain
measurements of the head be taken
correctly.
After learning these measurements
and the sex Of the subject, he makes
his own calculation as to the size
and shape of the head cavities and
announces whether the subject, II a
girl, is a soprano or contralto, and
IL a youth, whether he should sing
the role of bosso or Of tenor
robusto.
Mamie often sings soprano just
because Susie does, although sne
ought to be singing contralto," says
Professor Fitz. "And Bill insists up
| on singing bass, because he thinks
| it is manly, when he really ought tt
be a tenor"
Persons with round heads make
the best singers, he says, because
their head cavities are the most sym
| metrical; those with long heads COM
| next and those with oval Uranium
rank last.
"It's nonsense" he says, "for PEG

can sing and, if so, what part, Whel
by this method, they can obtain sucl
decision Immediately"
