Two More Justices
of Supreme Court
Expected to Retire
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The per
capita representation of Ohio in the
places of power in the United States
is being materially reduced
The contemplated resignation from
the supreme court of Justice Day, late
of Ravena and Canton, Ohio, closely
following that of Justice Clarke, late
of Lisbon, Youngstown and Cleveland,
Ohio, leaves Ohio with only one man
on the supreme bench, in the person
of the chief justice, VIM. H Taft.
But this is rather trivial aspect Of
these designations. Only little more
elevated in Importance is the fact
that President Harding, before his
term ends, is likely to have had the
appointing of an unprecedented num-
Der of justices of the supreme court.
TWO May Follow
In as much as there are two remain
ing justices who are 81 and 79 years,
respectively, and may at any time pre-.
fer the ease OF retirement, Mr. Hard.
ing is quite likely to have had the ap-
pointment of five of the total of nine
members. Some accident of circum-
stance might increase the number to
more than that, and ii would give
President Harding an extraordinary
degree of power over the fundamental
trend of his time.
All this. however, is mere co-inci.
dence. There is no disputed line oil
policy involved in Mr.. Harding's ap
pointments. There is no disputed line
of policy before the public His ap
/ pointments have no relation to each
other, and there is no necessary iden
| tity of views among his appointees
Discusses Appointees.
! About all that can be pointed Out
is that Justice Clarke, who retires, is
league of nations man, while the
successor whom Mr.. Harding has
chosen, ex-senator George Suther
land, is an anti-league of nations man

ACTION CAUSES FEAR

CBy Associated PreSs1

MARION, Ill, Sept. 6.-The grand
jury investigation of the Herrin mas
sacre has taken on a wider scope, it
became known today when Attorney
General Brundage announced indict-
ments charging some of the witnesses
with perjury might result from the in
quiry.
At the same time it became known
that the investigation had been ex-
tended to an inquiry as to the respon-
sibility for the riot, failure Of the au-
thorities to call for troops and the
theft of the equipment of the Lester
strip mine, around which the battle
was fought June 21 and p last.
Apprehension that more union min
ers might be indicted soon is believed
to have been the cause of a conference
at Herrin yesterday Of a number of
attorneys who have a large clientele
among the miners A. w. Kerr, chief
counsel of the Illinois Miners union
was present at the conference, which
took place at the headquarters of the
miners sub-district yesterday. Otis
Clark of Goreville, who is still held
in Jail is the only miner indicted sc
far in this investigation.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6. Pros
poets for a settlement in part of
the railroad shopmen's strike
were believed here today large
ly to be in the hands of Daniel
Willard, president Of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad. Mr..
Willard, now back at his office
in Baltimore, was said to have
disclosed last Friday in Chicago
to rail executives that he still
was seeking separate agree
ments.
Mr.. Willard took the lead for
separate settlement at the re-
cent executive conference in
New York. Including Mr.. Viii
lard's road, 81 railroads were
said to have been involved in the
plans for a separate settlement,
which were announced to have
failed at the New York confer
ence.
Union leaders here said that
representatives of the striking
shop craft were in Baltimore to-
day to meet some of the execu-
tives.
The understanding here was
that Mr.. Willard still hoped to
reach an agreement on the sepa-
rate settlement basis, by which
the strikers on those roads ens
dorsing the plan would be given
their old jobs back, with pen
sions restored, disputed points
to be left to five representatives
of the train service brotherhood
and five executives.

THE MISSOURI POSTMORTEM.

In the Reed-Long postmortem the verdict
is not unanimous. League OF nations cham
pions contend that the denomination OF Reed
was not a reputation of ex-President Will
son. while anti-league advocates contend to
the contrary. A good deal depends on the
point of view good many factors enter
into the contest apart from Wisconsin. For
example, the wet votes. This much is certain,
however: the weight of Mr.. Wilson's infu-
ence was not sufficient to put Mr.. Long
across. Furthermore had Mr.. Long Won
there is no reason to doubt that his success
would have been proclaimed widely as a
Wilson-league of nations triumph; in that
case there would have been no denial that
the issue OF Wisconsin constituted the CHIEF
issue upon which the battle was fought. The
tenacious league OF nations advocates are well
come to all the consolation they may be
able to extract from the denomination OF
Senator Reed If they can read into the re-
turns. by any hocus pocus, victory tor WI
sonisn no one will seriously object, but such
reasoning IS far from convincing. The TACT
remains that one of the bitterest opponents
of the league of nations, one OF the most
outspoken antagonists OF President Wilson, a
man whom Mr. Wilson had carefully labelled
as unacceptable to him. received the most
votes after long and hard fought contest.
A good deal OF effort is being exerted toward
preserving the breath OF life in the league
of nations, but it requires considerable IN
genuity to discover any encouragement for
this effort in the Missouri returns

MUST TAKE A CHANCE.

New York Telegraph; The poisoning OF
nearly a hundred persons who ate restaurant
pie is one more proof OF the. chances every
person must take who goes into the world
and pursues any sort of apparently safe rou-
tine. No human foresight could have safe
guarded these victims. They had been eat
ing pie all their lives, and doubtless most OF
them had eaten pie in this same restaurant
before It is one of those battling cases that
balk all efforts at theorizing. Somebody some
where for some reason put arsenic in TODD
that he, or She must have known would be
widely distributed. 1t is not easy to explain
such a person, except on the hypothesis OF
houlicida mania, and this mania IS not us
ually characterized by slyness. The homicldaI
maniac almost invariably leaves some definite
clew to his identity. Another guess is that
discharged employe, or dissatisfied en- m

How Much Do You Weigh?
From the Augusta Chronicle.

For a long time large group OF men have
been working on the Sub-COnsClOuS mind OF the
people delving into the psychological lido
syncrasies OF the public and among countless
other things have been evolved the allurlng
question of your weight that one sees at ev-
ery turn of the road, or street, as the case
may be, some OF the scales telling the an
swer for penny and now and then one that
tells the story without COst-generally IN con-
necton with some big enterprise.
Compilations OF figures made during the
world war are just now getting in concrete
shape to show the weights, the defects and
other peculiarties OF the great mass OF peo-
pie and it is interesting to note that there
is a marked difference in various localities.
For instance the detectives in the cities
amounted to % per cent the country over,
while in the rural districts only one man in
fve or 20 per cent proved detective to such an
extent that they were rejected, though on
the whole the detectives were much greater.
In the state of Georgia 453 men i'll every
1000 were defective to some extent and
Rhode Island topped the entire list OF states
with $40 in every 1000 being defective. For
tv-two per cent of the men examined IN that
state for war service were rejected. In other
words one good man ought to be able to
whip two and half OF Little Rhody's' pop
u1ation any old time. Arizona made the best
showing of any OF the states, with only 40
detectives per thousand.
The question of health is one OF vast i'm
portanCe to the nation and it is equally as
important to the city, community or state,
and any safeguards that can be thrown around
the health of the people should be promul-
gated by both city county and state author
tiles The school children ought to be given
extensive care and attention by the authorl-
ties to see that ailments originating early IN
youth are given proper treatment and chrome
difficulties later in life avoided.

THE RIGHT OF WAY.

! At last the people have been brought face
to face with real strike situation that threat
ems development into collapse of transport
tation. The efforts OF the striking railroad
,hopmen TO influence general wakout and
the determination OF the executives to fight
the thing out to finish have precipitated a
condition which everyone is bound to recog-
nize as serious in the extreme. 1t is po-
tentia emergency, one having all the ele-
ments OF distress, disappointment and dis
enlargement that could be visited upon a
people.
Both sides have rejected President Hard
ings proposals for a settlement OF their diff
ferences. First, the railroads refused abso-
utely to yield on the question OF seniority
rights AT that time the strikers were willing
to make peace with their former employers
and man the shops, but the railroads were
adamant. The government could not turn to
the right nor to the left 1t was blocked.
Then followed another attempt from Presi-
dent Harding to settle the strike by asking
the shopmen to return to work and let the
railroad labor board decide the question OF
seniority rights The Shopmen fairly shouted
their no back at Washington. 1t was the ar
gument OF the strikers that il the presidents
original proposal, which provided for the re-
instatement of the men on the basis OF their
rank won through years OF service, was right
when it was first made it was found to be
right on to the end.
1t seems there is just one thing for the
government to do Uncle Sam has tried hard
to make peace between the railroads and the
strikers He has gone far, and has suffered
blows from each side. He has been repudiat-
ed by the railroads and by the strikers. Meth
er has been willing to yield single thing he
asked for the people. For the moment Uncle
Sam has been rendered impotent. That does
not mean, however, that he is not resolute.
He still has the trump card, and can play it
when he wishes. The time seems to be close
at hand for that card to be played.
President Harding can try something else
or he can withdraw from the controversy,
warning the strikers and the railroads of their
double responsibility if an economic disaster,
which is threatened, because of their refusal
to compose their differences In the meantime
he can make his plans as he pleases with the
weight of the whole country behind him. He
can forget absolutely both the railroads and
strikers, can ignore their claims, remaining
Indifferent to their protests and mistaken by
their arguments. He can take control OF the
roads and keep it until both sides are will
ing to settle their quarrel He can tell the
strikers and the executives that he does not
care a rap who is right and who is wrong,
and he can also tell them that the trains have
got to run. He has the right OF way.
