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.

disuse. English. French and Germm

parative ease when properly taught, and

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:

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."
