Former President w. II. Taft is t.

Former President w. II. Taft is to
be chief justice Of the supreme court
of the United States. The nomination
was sent to the senate yesterday and
confirmed with but four dissenting
votes, those Of Borah, Johnson, Ii
Toilette and Watson. Mr.. Taft is
eminently fitted for this high position
and the probability Of his appoint
ment is pretty generally recognized
throughout the country. 1t will be re-
membered that it was Mr.. Taft who
appointed the late Edmund Douglas
White, southern Democrat and EX-
Confederate soldier to the chief JUS
ticeship Of the United States supreme
court, and if there were no other
guarantees of his fitness for this high
position, this alone would be sufficient.

I'm tho eves of the world, and in I'll

In the eyes Of the world, and in the
eyes of most people of the world there
is no success except complete gratlh-
cation Of selfish ambition, and the man
who has fallen short Of this. as every
man who has ever set his desires IN
that direction, has fallen short, IS
thence forward Il martyr to public in
gratitude. This remark is suggested
by the following statement by a recent
writer in the Philadelphia Ledger:
No man who has tried honestly ana
cnnscientiously to serve the public
emcrges from that service without
feeling of contempt for 1t. Ana alter
he has gone through the experience, he
never is able to view the public in the
act of being "gypped" without feeling
n desire to go out behind the garage
and laugh his head off.

to the name Of the man who gave
utterance to the foregoing sentiment.
1t is evident however that he said
what he thought and also there is little
doubt Of the fact he voiced the real
feelings Of most selfish people who fail
after having spent their lives seeking
to crafty their own ambitions under a
pretense Of being of use to their fellow
men.
In the first place, there is something
absurdly paradoXical in the first sem
tence. It is a clear inference that
he undertook his service not so much
for the benefit Of the, public as for the
advancement Of his own prestige and
this being the case if the public would
have none Of him, If his contempt
were intelligent it would be directed
against himself. instead Of against the
public. Suppose we 60 in for sue
cess in business in competition with
some other fellow and the other fellow
beats US to it, through superior charac-
ter and ability, why should we feel
malice toward him.
Old Elijah gave long, faithful and
most glorious service at the end OIL
which he was most thoroughly dis
couraged and disheartened; but who is
going to claim that his service was
failure, or that he took pleasure in
seeing the people for whom he labored
suffer because they neglected his mis-
sion.
Consider the labor Of Jesus Christ
and find if you can anything in the
record to indicate the slightest resent
ment against the people he served. He
wept over Jerusalem not out Of disap-
pointment at his temporary. failure;
but rather.because Of his :compassion
for the poor simps who rejected his
service.
Jesus Christ was and Is God. But
nevertheless his example Is the only
perfect yardstick for the measurement
of the proposition under consideration.
Robert E. Lee undertook the service
of his people in the belief that they
were wrong. His service was perfect
Notwithstanding his failure to accom-
plish what he. sought to accomplish
But who is going to say that Robert
r, Lee was glad to see his people
eypped? Who is going to say that mis-
service as service failed? And as a
matter Of fact, would it have been
possible for Robert E. Lee to be
greater than he is had he been able TO
prevail over the Federal armies ana
win the independence Of the Southern
Confederacy?
William J. Bryan has several times
been a candidate for the presidency OF
the United States; but where IN the
record is there any suggestion OF NAL
ice against or impa4ience with the peo-
ple who rejected him? The WORST
enemies of MIR. Bryan, where they are
broad enough to be fair, are impress
ed with the fact that he has never felt
the slightest bitterness toward the
people for their failure to select him.
The truth of the whole matter Is
that where man honestly and con-
scientiously tries to serve his felio"
men, for the sake Of his fellow men,
rather than for his own sake, ne mas
his reward in that service itself, and
any other kind Of reward would de-
tract from rather than add to his'glory.

to severe winter weather, mice have
inflicted more damage to orchards than
any other agency. Ten years ago
there were, according to the census,
4.521, 739 apple trees In Maine or
chards, while in 1920 there were $780,
521, much of this decrease no doubt
due to the severe winter of 1918.
1t is estimated that 1850 young
trees were killed by mice In 1911 In
New Hampshire mice have given the
apple industry a severe setback dur
ing the past decade. In Massachusetts
orchardists reported losses two years
ago from mice totaling $125,OOO, this
amount not covering the entire loss,
because some olchardists did not re-
port. In one Connecticut orchard OF
more than $50 acres damage by
rodents during the winter Of 1890
is conservatively placed at $1,000.
The mice, of these two varieties,
strip the bark from the trees above
ground and from their roots below the
surface. An active campaign is under
way in many sections which, If con-
tinued, will help check the rodents dep
relations.

MANY STATES CONTROL
MOTOR TRUCK TONNAGE
Tendency Is to Charge More
Than for Pleasure Cars.

At the beginning of 1921 there were
still seven States in which motor
trucks were registered at the same
rate as passenger cars, but in recent
years there has been a very decided
tendency in most States to increase
the fees required for motor trucks
over and above those required for
passenger cars. This increase Is
usually based on ne weight of the
truck and it's carrying capacity. It's
horsepower, or a combination of these
factors. The most general practice
seems to be toward definitely limiting
the maximum total road weight of the
vehicle and basing the registration
fee on the capacity of the truck. Some
few States have adopted scale Of
fees, which in actual practice serves
to make the operation of very heavy
truck impracticable.
In Colorado. New Mexico and Ore
gon, in addition to the registration
fees, a State tax on gasoline or other
products used for the propulsion of
motor vehicles is also levied. In some
States motor cars are taxed as per-
sonal property in addition to the re-
quired registration fees. In Alabama
Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, New
Hampshire, New York. North Dakota,
Oklahoma. Oregon, South Carolina.
Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Vermont
the registration fees are in lieu of sill
personal property taxes.
