TAFT WILL FILL BENCH VACANCIES Three Supreme Court Mem bers Will Probably Re tire Within Year. tONG RECORD FOR HARLAN "IT as Appointed In 1877 Together AVlth Chief Justice Fuller and Two Others Be 1 Eligible for Retirement. OREGONIAN SEWS BUREAU. Wash ligrtnn. Nov. 11. Four members of the I'nlted States Supreme Court have I'ajssed the rrttring age, throe score years and ten, and one other wiJl round that mark before the close of tho next admin istration. It is therefore probable that Mr. Taft, as President, will be called upon to make at least three appoint ments to th& Supremo Bench, and pos sibly more, depending upon how many justice show a willingness to retire. Age Limit Reached. Chief Justiee Fuller and Associate Jus tices Harlan. Brewer and Peckham are row eligible for retirement and in three years Justice Holmes will have reached the TO-year mark, when he, too. can put a-wide the duties of the bench and be as sured of a neat income for the remainder of his days. Justices of the Supreme Bench are not required to retire when they become 70 years of atro; it is entirely optional with them. Chief Justice Fuller could have retired six years ago, but ho has held on all this time, hoping for another Demo cratic administration, so that his mantle might fall upon a man of his own po litical faith. Hut the election of a Dem ocratic Presldnt has twice been pre vented since Fuller reached the retiring aire, and It Is quite likely that he will rot wait another four jear." In the hope that a Democrat may yet be appointed to succeed him. And yet. Justice Fuller, notwithstanding his 76 years and his Bnow-wiilte hair. Is a man of excep tional vitality and would readily pass for a man not over 65. If his health stays with him. he may onco more tempt fate, in the hope that the Democrats may come into' possession of the Gov ernment in 1913. Thirty-one Tears' Service. Justice Harlan has been on tho Su preme Eench longer than any other mem ber, having been appointed November 23. 1S77. He is f.mr months younger than the Chief Justice, yet in spite of his years he Is the most enthusiastic golf fiend In Washington, and the first one on the links In the morning. With Justice Harlan his work Is his pleasure, as lr.uch as his g'lf; and that accounts for his failure to retire. Justices Brewer and Peckham will be. respectively, 71 and 70 when the new ad ministration opens. Brewer is a Repub lican: Peckham a Democrat. The former has been on the Supreme Bench for 19 years, and Justice Peckham since December.- 1805. It would not be surpris ing if both should retfre during the com ing administration. Four of the remaining Justices, Mc Kenna. Holmes. Day and Moody were appointed by President Roosevelt; Justice White was appointed by Cleveland. If they live, all will probably continue on the bench throughout the next tour years, unless Justice Holmes should ex ercise his right to retire in 1!12. Republicans In Majority. A the Supreme Court is now con stituted, there are three Democrats and lx Republicans. If Justices Fuller and Peckham retire, they will leave only one Democrat on the bench. Justice White, unless Mr. Taft. desiring to avoid crit icism from a certain source, deems it advisable to place some Democrat of National reputation on the bench. Or, it is possible that one of the two Dem ocratic Justices Just named may retire only on condition that the President con tents to appoint a Democrat in his place. Justice Fuller would not, of course. In sist that a Democrat be appointed Chief Justice when the administration is Re publican. It Is a fact, particularly recognized by the legal fraternity, that the United states Supreme Court is badly in need of "weighty" members. The "heaviest" men on the bench today are not those appointed' by President Roosevelt. Three of them are lawyers of not un usual ability; Justice Day, however, Is of ample caliber to fill the position he now holds. The legal appointments made by President Roosevelt, both on the Supreme Bench, and on lesser benches, have met with unusual criti cism in a great many instances. Will Choose Capable Men. But no such criticism will be made of legal appointments made h,y Presi dent Taft. Mr. Taft. whose greatest ambition until lately was to succeed Chief Justice Fuller on the Supreme bench, is so well versed in the law that he knows the requirements of the Court. and ho is unusually well equipped to select men of suffficient talent to reflect credit both upon themselves and upon the Court. This fact is appreciated by the members of the Supreme Court, and the very assurance that big, brainy, capable men will he chosen by President Taft may Induce Justice Fuller and hi? older associates to retire during the next administration. There is. however, not the slightest Indication that any va cancies will occur In the Supreme bench, through retirement, until after Mr. Taft is Inaugurated. WOMAN AMD A CAREER She Is Best at 53 or 60, Declares Amelia K. ISarr. New York World. . "A woman has no right to a 'career" until she Iihs had children. I know, for I have had 15. The girl who doesn't marry if she has the right chance Is a fool. At m or 60 a woman should find herself at her Ifrightest and best. Genius Is a luxury; it's the piain citizens who keep tho world going, not the genluse.. I believe i.-i the Edible from cover to cover, but 1 declare I don't know about tiie church end the ministers.'1 These gems from the wisdom of ex perience were uttered today when a re jorter dropoed in to see Amelia fcl Barr. that promising young authoress, who now. though barely SO years of age, has Jt published her 53th successful novel. This is r.t meant to be flippant, but she Is such a dear, gay, young old woman, her full, rounded brow is so fair In its furrows of bitter and sweet experience, that somehow It seems a discourtesy to respect her lace cap and g'.asses with undiluted seriousness. "I am afraid." said Mrs. Barr. "that we should find New Tork's patriotism disappointing If it comes to a test In these days. Behind patriotism lies principle, and behind that lies the sense of reverence. And the men of New York, and even of the smaller places, have come to reverence nothing neither God nor their fathers, nor the memory of their father's deeds. "New York doesn't read Its Bible, It has no God of righteousness, no faith In the power of principle. Its rever ence is gone. And reverence Is the foundation of good citizenship. Tou cannot have good citizens unless you have good children; you can't have good children unless they revere their pa rents, and they won't do that unlesj their parents are worthy of It. "Now. what sort of parents have New Torkers trained up in their apartment- house life? The father Is flippant slangy. Irreligious and laughingly tol erates all of these qualities in bis child. The mother has her head full of the aters, shopping, luncheons and society fol-de-rol. Both are connoisseurs In cock tails. Card-playing for money Is a commonplace of the evening at home "Let me tell you," said Mrs. Barr, with a slap of her capable old hand on the table, "that when a little child In its nightgown comes to kiss its mother and father good-night and finds them playing poker, with tum blers alongside of the chips, you can't expect him to grow up into a good citizen. If he doesn t reverence his father and mother, he worn' respect tho law. "How about the matinee ririT' she was asked, "with ner stage idols, her violets and soda water and her Satur day promenade In Broadway? Have the conditions you mention given her a dangerous point of view?" "No," said Mrs. Barr, emphatically. The matinee girl is all right. Her frivolity, or whatever you choose to rail it. Is only the unthinking, un formed enthusiasm of youth. "But let me tell you one thing.' continued Mrs. Barr, earnestly, "the matinee girl has no future unless some good man makes her fall in love with him and makes her marry him. The home girl Is the only one that Is worth while, and the girl who doesn't marry if she gets the right chance is a XooL Only that way lies happiness. And by the right chance I don t mean money and automobiles and the chance to be idle. A salary of $1500, $1200 or even $1000 a year Is enough and more than enough for any young couple to live happily on, I don't care who they are. "A girl has no business to go trapes ing off to an office or store unless it Is a matter of sheer bread and butter. She lias no business trying to carve out a so-called 'career for herself. "It doesn't matter whether she Is a gifted woman or not. A woman has no right to a 'career until she has mar ried and had children and gone through suffering and sorrow. "I never wrote a line until I was 55 years of age and had married and reared 15 children. I am prouder of them than I am of my books. "At 60 life assumes a truer perspec tive for a woman. She begins then, and hardly before then, to see the great vital truths of life and character In their proper proportions. "Therefore, I say to the girl who dreams of a career: 'Marry: learn your lesson 'before you try to teach it." "And let no girl set herself up as too precious a Jewel or genius to marry what it may please her to consider a common place man. A man whose every waking moment Is given to his ambition, who has no time for the dear Interests of home and for genial hobbies and diver sions, is not the one who will bring con tentment to his wife or give normal chil dren to his country. "Genius Is a luxury. Give me rather the plain man, who locks up his ambi tion when he closes bis desk at night and takes only his own good, beloved self home to his wife and children and makes them the salient part of his life. I tell you." said the wise old lady, "that nature loves the sane, the normal, the commonplace, if you will. It's the plain citizens who keep the world going not the geniuses." A BORN NEWS-GATHERER Rapid Action Career of Harry Tj. Bench, Chicago. Kansas City Star. Tbere is a new news editor in the Chi cago office of the Associated Press and some of the facts of his career of prep aration for the responsible place he oc cupies ehould be of interest to newspaper readers. The new news editor's name is Harry L. Beach and his experience is not extraordinary among those of the picked men of American Journalism, yet it is worth noting because It Is suggestive of the energv, resourcefulness and courage characterizing the daily task of provid lnicr the news that the reader receives with as little wonderment as attends his hearing a church bell ring or watching a Summer shower. 4jr. Beach was born In Iowa, and he re ported for the Chicago News, Tribune. Times and Globe before he Joined the staff of the Associated Frees in 1S92. He was one of the Associated Press stafT In Cuba during the war with Spain. He witnessed the three days of land fight ing In front of Santiago; and his nar ratives, which were carried by the As sociated Press dispatch boats to the Jamaican cable, for transmission to New York, contributed largely to the reputa tion gained by the service In covering the main events of the war. He witnessed and prepared the report of the land fight ing by the marines at Guantanamo Bay durinitr which engagement he received a bullet wound in the face, after pressing upexpected'.y upon a force of Spanish sol diers. He personally witnessed the burning of the Iroquois Theater at Chicago in De cember. 1903, and entering the burning structure during the panic, was able to Indicate accurately in an early bulletin the awful death roll. He prepared a story of nearly" 14.0 words that night, which passed over the Associated Press wires as fat as he wrote it. The great flood at Mobile, In September. 1905. occurred while Mr. Beach was re porting the race riots at Atlanta. He took a train to Montgomery, and thence by a wrecking train to Hurricane, Ala., reaching there at 7 o'clock in the morn ing. From there Into Mobile he walked and waded through the flooded district, a distance of 22 miles, arriving there at 2 o'clock that afternoon. He obtained the first full story of the disaster, and taking a train to Meridian, 200 miles north, succeeded finally In reaching a telegraph wire In time to handle the story for the morning papers. During the National political conven tions of 19U0. 1SMH and 1908 he has been one of the principal writers of the run ning or "sketch" report of the proceed ings of tho conventions. There is another sidelight on the news paper trade in the circumstance by which Mr. Beach became news editor In the Chicago office. His predecessor. Gusta vus P. English, wbo had held the post for 15 years, died one hour after reach ing his home from the recent Denver convention. Overwork at the conven tion bad given the finishing stroke to what might otherwise have been an un important Illness. Decline of Pidgin Kngllsh. Westminister Gazette. In the latest Shanghai trade report It is stated by Elgar Hobson, the Commis sioner of Customs, that owing to the in creasing linguistic proficiency of the Chinese, pidgin English is falling Into disuse.

Well, this jargon has had a Ions run In the East. It is not at all like Chinese and so unlike English that necomeis require to learn it. Tho difference be tween It and proper English was once unconsciously and wittily expressed by a Cantonese shopkeeper, who, finding him self at a loss to understand the correct English spoken by a new arrival, turned to his friend, an American, and said: Moil bet tab you flen talkee Bngltshee talk; my no sabbee Mellcan talk.'' Snake and Cat Duel. South China Morning Post. A snake story comes from the Kowloon sidei A few days ago a brown adder, measuring some two feet and a half, was killed by Mr. Coke, bandmaster of the Rajputs, under rather curious circum stances. The reptile was slain in the open road upon the waterfront, where the Kowloon children are wont to play, and Mr. Coke's attention was first drawn to it by an animal's duel which was going on betwen the snake and a cat. Poor Thomas, with bristling hair and tall on end, was gradually being fascinated by the adder, and must have eventually succumbed but for the timely assistance of the "baton." Hounded by Berlin Beggars. Vienna .Mspatch. JWss Anna Morgan, heiress to $300,- 000.000 was driven out of Berlin, where she hoped to study politico-so cial conditions, by the beggars, high and low, of nobility and otherwise, who no sooner heard of the arrival of the rich American girl than they set siege to her dollars. Individuals, societies, churches, charitable institutlosis and promoters of business schemes wrote. telegraphed and sent messengers, it- all looked funny to the young woman at first, but It became a nuisance, from which she escaped by means or her automobile.
