Supreme Court May Have
Many Changes

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. 10
Twenty-Five years ago this week
Chief Justice Edward d. White re-
ceived his appointment to the Sup
rene Court of the United States. On
November next the Chief Justice
will enter upon his seventy-fifth year
which calls to mind the fact that
three of the present members of the
highest tribunal have passed the age
of 10 years, which makes them eligi-
bic to retirement, while a fourth
member will arrive at the 10th mile
stone a few weeks hence. Probably
never before in the whole history of
the court has the age Of the justices
averaged so high.
The oldest of the members is As
sociate Justice Oliver. Wendell Hol
mes, who is in his 18th year. Next
comes Justice Joseph McKenna, who
is rs. Justice William R. Day will be
70 next month.
There is. no power to force the re-
tirefnent of any of these justices, but
RENE bench it will give the next
President of the United States power
to radically recast the tribunal.
Runors have been current from time
to time that one or more of the
aged Justices intended to retire, but
there is no intimation that any of
them will do so at the present time.
It is apparent, however, that the
next administration will witness the
disappearance from public life of
several of these eminent publicists.
A great power thus will be vested in
the hands of the next President. Be-
fore the next administration comes to
an end Chief Justice White will have
passed his 80th year, which renders
it practical certainty that a new
presiding officer of the highest court
in the land will have to be selected
by the next President.
The honor and responsibility of
naming a Chief Justice of this high
tribunal is given to comparatively few
Presidents. In the nearly $50 years

York, Feb. 4, 1870, twenty-seven men

men to serve as Chief Justice. John
Jay, John Rutledge, Oliver Ellsworth,

White formed the distinguished list.
Marshall served the longest term, "a

appointment of John Rutledge be-
cause his brilliant mind had shown

Many a potato patch which spreads
its foliage in most promising fashion
throughout the summer proves sadly
disappointing at digging time.
It is true that coed potatoes can not
be produced without good tops; but
lHxuriant tops DO not always mean
fine potatoes. Turning to tops" as
the experienced grower calls 1t, has
most significant meaning. Potatoes
growL on soil treated with manure
alone frequently sfow this tendency.

it is estimated that ut Pays to Adj

any of the recent farces.
Megrue, in writing ut Pays to Ad-
v~ertise," took modern day business as
his theme and evolved a most absorb
ing and witty story around the son
Of a wealthy manufacturer. The son
had never done anything of account
in life and, with the ingenious assist
ance Of his pretty stenographer, the
wealthy father stirs up the son. When
the son does finally start his career
in the business world. he Is a wild
eyed advocate of advertising, and he
soon has the world ablaze with the
merits Of his product. The father at
first is amused. then worried and
finally capitulates to his son, who Vir-
tually drives the father to cover after
a series of startling events.
There is a never-ending vein Of hu-
MOI running through ut Pays to Ad-

eddy good entertainment. W. l.. Thorne
