THE SUPREME COURT VACANCY.

Because of age and i'll health it has been believed that soon there would be vacancies upon the bench of the United States supreme court. It was believed that with the change of administra ton that it would not be long before resigHa- tions would take place. Death has, however, stepped in before the expected course of events was carried out and the vacancy in the chief justiceshp has come in wey not anticipated
 Naturally there is interest as to the one who will be selected by the presi- dent 10 become the new chief justice. For number of years when vacancies on the supreme court have existed there has been presented the name of ex-President William IT. Taft. President Wilson had opportunities to name him but his choice went in other directions, but not, 1t is believed, without realizing that he DOS. sessed the qualifications for just such a position.
 In anticipation of vacancies through resignation the name of the former pres, ident has been the one chiefly mentioned for place on the bench of the highest court of the land. It is a place for which he is admirably fitted. He is not without years of experience as a judge and he possesses the judicial tempera, ment that is so important for one in such a place It has even been frNely indicated that 1t was with the hopes thai he might be succeeded by the forme, president that the chief justice delayed his retirement from the bench until ther. was one with the appointive power whe he believed would consider such an ao. pointment.
 Another name that has been strenrl, urged is that of Secretary Hughes ot the state department, a former member of the court who resigned to become z candidate for the presidency. That h, would be an admirable choice cannot b, questioned but just at the present tim, he is engaged in the weighty task o guiding the department of state. a nos where he is needed and where a chang, just now is not desired. It is an inter ssting claim that inasmuch as the cour will not be busy for a number of month, the president will hold the vacancy one, 7ntil fall by which time Mir. Hughes ear pc spared. Rather is it believed tha Inc former president will be judged [. be the man to fill the place and that i the next vacancy does not come too sooi MT. Hughes will then be available.

BRINGING powN rHE BATES.

Quite as anxious as the railroads are to learn what the reduction in wages as fixed by the railroad labor board is go- ing to be, the country in general seeks Co know what effect it is going to have upon rates.
 Railroad rates have been up for the purpose of permitting the roads to secure income sufficient to meet the expendi- lures that were forced upon them. That at least was the purpose although the roads failed to get the benefit of the change because of the falling off in bus mess. It was forced to resort to a cur tailment of the number of employees and the introduction of economies wherever such was possible. Not until March, however, did conditions of the roads show anything but decreasing earning power
 It was revealed in a convincing man. ner to the railroad labor board that jus tice to the roads called for a reduction in the wages from the peak of the war time figures to be more in keeping with present day conditions. The attitude ap- parently is that with living conditions making the higher wages necessary, the lowered living costs should have a cor. responding effect.
 With the economies introduced and tht cut in wages there are reasons why the railroads should feel that they might get the chance to declare dividends or the stock permissible under the trans rortation act, for it Is matter of year! since the owners of the roads in some Instances have received any dividends at all, as many a New Englander car testify. It can hardly be expected tha, any general reduction in rates can hI anticipated but it is not improbable tha certain cuts can and should be made al a matter of good business and if for nt other reason than to create more busi ness. A letting up in certain other ex penses of the roads aside from wage ought 10 help toward such an end. A least it seems not improbable that an ef fort will be made to see what effect cer ain rate reductions will have upon tn dle freight cars.

Afterwards came demonstrations of target practice, when Secretary Denby, who has seen active service in the navy, threw himself fiat on the ground and hit the bullseye 46 times out of a possible 50. There was a sham battle, demonstration of all sorts of naval ordnance. a visit to the flying field. supper at the mess ha wonderful singing by tha great chorus of 4.500 marines and then return trlp on the Mayiower by moonlight.
 Just as the boat left Washington in the morning Secretary Denby came persc nal ly to greet Miss Alice and present to her the officer in charge of the trip. This done he added T have asked that an orderly be assigned you" and then young private in regulation blue with white cap, gold eagle and all the trim mings stepped forward and gravely sa- luted the wonderful gray haired woman member of congress, who is making friends here faster than one can describe. Miss Alice held her head high in the air, and thanked the secretary with becoming dignity, just as if naval aids and order lies" were her daily portion. But as the secretary turned a moment later to an- swer some one standing near she whis- pered to her press gallery friend, Now I've got an orderly I don't know what to do with him'-while her eyes sparkled with keen appreciation of the situation
 But the orderly knew just what to do if Miss Alice didn't. Senator Reyes was one of the guests who made a prolonged flight in a hydroplane.

RESTRICTING NEweoMrrs

After a long fight the effert wnict has been made for a restriction of imnirrs- ton for limited period, with the idea of providing something in the way of permanent legislation in the meantime ts follow it, has succeeded and after next week, for period of few weeks over a year the number of aliens coming into the country will be limited to three per cent of those of the different nationali- lies in the country according to the cen sus of 1910.
 That means that those seeking admIs. sion to the country will be admitted pro- vided they are able to meet the reouire- ments uD until such a time as the fixed percentage is received and then the bars will be put up and no more will be ad. nltted until he restrictive period is over. 1t thus will accomplish just what was undertaken, a reduction in the mum.

causes a large amount of unemploy- ment.
 While there was strong sentiment for the putting up of the bars to all for certain time it was sidetracked for the percentage plan and the restriction is of course an emergency measure. The cry for the checking of the great num- Der of Europeans from flooding the coun- try has been heard and the response that should accomplish the desired pur' pose has been made.
 But with the putting into effect of tht restriction for limited period 1t is to bt remembered that the time which it GOV CTS must be well utilized in determining what Is going to be done in the way e permanently bettering the laws sur rounding immigration.

"Rena," said the easy-going man of the house apologetically as he drew his head out of the hall closet, do you happen to know where those old tan shoes of mine are-the low ones?'
 His brown-eyed wife regarded him ruminatively for a moment before a light came into her face and she said sweetly: Why, yes, my dear. It was Russell who took those shoes to wear when he went over to the country club for golf-he didn't have a thing bad enough to wear that rainy day last week and he hated to spoil his good"
 Bad enough to wear, did you say? asked the easy going head of the house in some surprise. Why, I wore those shoes only 8 seant half-dozen times last summer and I thought-'
 'oh, but Sam, why do you always do that7'
 "ThinkT' he inquired with his eyes on the floor of the closet where he had fool ishly left the tan shoes.
 "No, mo-" said his brown-eyed wife. Leave your things about? You knew that those shoes would get all dusty there on the closet floor, and besides you know you would never have thought of them again if you hadn't just happened to miss them."
 That may be- went on the easy-go- ing head of the house, but the last time wore them I thought that the very next day might be warm enough to wear them, and so what was the use of put ting them away In tissue paper or cot ton batting when I might want them the next morning in a hurry? Russell sure | ly has enough old shoes of his own "Yes, but he didn't have to have to get shine" sad the brown-eyed wife seri ously.

 "As far as taking care of them" began the usually easy-going head of the house, T don't see that you worry about them to any great extent. Anything l want has always been borrowed or deliberate ly taken by our son, who seems to have more"
 'Jealousyl' smiled the brown-eye wife, batting his arm gently.

"rn tell ycu what I did with those Sam" said the brown-eyed wife, looking hi min the eyes, T honestly thought that you'd never think of them again so when man came around for old clothes and old shoes IL You sold them to him2' The brown-eyed wife nodded.
