 "No right thinking American has ever been opposed to the use oi public funds for taking care of those of our fellow citizens who are actually in want and distress" !" Prentis said.

 He predicted that annual expen- ditures of the Federal Government would not fall below seven billion dollars during your lifetime" with the result that new taxes would force small wage earners to accept 8 lower living standard and those with larger incomes to curb ex- penditures for expansion, improve nnents and research.

Van Devanter Retirement
Justices Action Another Evidence of His Clear
Reasoning, Observer SAYS.

This introduced a new factor bearing
on the course OF such justices as had
contemplated resigning. In the view
OF many persons, resignation became
no longer a matter to be determined
by personal considerations solely.
Public considerations were now in
Volved.
But just what were those public con-
siderations, and in which direction
would they pull? This question has
provided infinite argument, infinite
hair-splitting. One school Of thought
said that the court was now under
attack and that therefore retirement
would be retirement under fire. The
very abuse to which the justices were
subjected was said to be a reason why
they should endure it and stand fast.
Effect Of Retirements.
Much OF the argument related to the
effect that retiring or not retiring
might have on the Presidents court
measure. Would the retirement of two
or three justices make enactment of
the Presidents measure more probable
or less probable, more called for or
less called for? Would retirement
seem to be justification of Mr.. Roose-
vets charge, later abandoned, that
the justices were too DID, or Of Mr..
Roosevelt'S statement, later disproved.
that the justices were behind with
their work? What effect would retire.
ment have on Mr.. Roosevelts tempera-
ment?
To think through to the bottom Of
this tangle OF opposing and intricate
considerations was Job Of hard think
ing as onerous as the most complex
case that ever came before the court.
To Justice Van Devanter, resigning at
the age of 10, instead of being the calm
ending Of long career, became
matter complicated by strife and with
possible grave public consequences.
In the end Mr.. Van Devanter seems
to have followed the clear sort OF
reasoning that is chara cteristic of him.
He dismissed the personal considera-
tons, both those pertaining to himself
and those pertaining to Mr.. Roosevelt.
He dismissed all the arguments of
passion and expediency. He did the
thing he would have done had passion
not existed nor expediency clamored.
If the court ought not to be warped
by the attempt of the President to
pack it, neither ought it to be warped
by justice remaining on the bench
longer than he otherwise would, merely
in order to checkmate the President.
Mr.. Justice Van Devanter does what
tradition and reason calls for. He
leaves the court what he found it. If
the court Is to be made a different
thing, that is for Congress and the
people to decide.
There is one misconception that the
people should guard against. Neither
resignation nor any other act of
justice or the court is to be looked on
as surrender. The court can neither
surrender nor attack. That is not its
function.

Bruce believed that young artists, who

resigned in 1892 and for a time re-
ceived full pay, which was $4,000 a
year. But in 1888 Congress passed
the emergency economy act" which
provided that no pension should be
more than $4,000 a year.
This incident was notice to Federal
judges who wished to resign that they
would do 50 at some disadvantage and
some risk.
Three Held Ready to Resign.
While this condition existed, from
about 1888 until last March, there
were five justices Of the Supreme
Court who were over 10 and otherwise
qualified for resignation and pension
It was generally understood that two
or three OF them were disposed to re-
sign.
To meet this condition there was
introduced in Congress two years ago
March 6, 1880 a measure so writ
ten that retired justice would be
guaranteed full pay for life-Congress
| could make no future change. This
measure became a law last March.
The purpose was to facilitate the re-
tirement Of such justices as wished to
do so. From the time of the intro
duction Of the measure two years be-
fore, it was anticipated as likely that
two or three justices would take ad-
| vantage Of it, among them Mr. Van
Devanter-his IS years of life and IS
years on the supreme bench gave him
justification.
Roosevelt Court Proposal.
But meantime President Roosevelt
had begun, in May, 1885, Immediately
after the courts unanimous decision
against N. R. A., an attitude that
amounted to attack on the court. This
attitude came to climax February S
last when Mr.. Roosevelt made his
sensational proposal that he be given
power to name six new justices-for
the purpose, not declared but clearly
implied, Of getting court that would
| approve his measures.

Hunting being practically at stand
still because of rain and deep going,
I will devote this column today to
a hunting article written when the
English American foxhound match
was going on in 1905 in the Piedmont
Valley, I started the first Hunting
Log in America, getting my idea from
the English papers, which always carry
items of the different packs. But
find that 80 years ago. when the
match was going on, many correspond
ents were in Virginia to write up that
great event for papers all over the
country. The following came from
the scrapbook of the late Mr. Clint
Peach of Upperville, noted horseman
and Judge of horses over long pc
riod of years. His sons, Richard and
William, maintain one of the best
stables Of show horses and hunters
in Virginia, on the old Peach place
near Upperville. I am sure this &C
count of a fox hunt of years ago
over the same country that I write
about each week will be Of interest to
readers who knew members OF the
field then, some of whom are still rid
ing to hounds today.
"Upperville, Va, November 3.
i905-The fifth days trial of the Graf
-Middlesex Hounds proved more
successful than any previous days
hunt during the match. English
hounds of the Middlesex Hunt were
taken out, the meet being at Middle
burg at o'clock Hounds were thrown
in at Bald Hill woods on Mr.. Sam
Freds estate, and finding within 10
minutes, went away after big req
fox. For ST minutes Reynard led the
hounds and horsemen across 10 miles
of the best hunting country OF Pied
mont Valley, furnishing sport that de-
lighted the hearts of 80 riders who
followed as hard as stiff stone walls.
rail fences and a difficult rolling coun-
try would permit After 10 minutes
run the fox viewed as he sped through
the stubbles of an old corn field, with
the hounds not more than minutes
behind him.
After furnishing fine sport, which
not only showed the excellence OF the
MiddIesex pack, but the skill with
which it was handled by Robert Cotes-
worth, the huntsman, the fox circled
back in safety into his own country,
and disappeared in his den, under
great granite rock, on Goose Greek,
near Fry's dam. The terriers were
unable to lift their quarry. This is the
first fox that has been properly ac-
counted for during the match, and
American hounds enthusiasts Joined
with the followers of the Middlesex in
hearty congratulations to Mr.. Higgin-
son on the work of his pack.
Five riders came to grief during
the run, although none was seriously
injured. Mrs. Ladenburg of New
York came hard to earth when her
hunter crossed his legs in jumping
stone wall aslant. DR.. Splitter sailed
through the air when his hunter
jumped big at stone fence. Harry
Belt and Billion Lawson of Upper
Vile went down over a fence on the
Dudley state, and James K. MadduX,
master of the Warrenton Hunt and
one of the judges, had what promised
to be an ugly fall when his clean
bred hunter failed to clear two strands
of barbed wire on top of stone wall.
Both horse and rider became en-
tangled to such an alarming extent
in falling that they escaped death
only by lucky chance. Mr. Maddux
injured his right arm, and his mare
