4.00, ty the 4.00 for 6 A Grave Responsibility Probably as grave a responsibility as President Harding will have to assume during his term of office will be the intment of federal judges—and particularly justices ag the supreme court. No matter what political policies he may promote—no matter what political appointments other than judicial he may make, if they prove to be mistakes they can be corrected. The people can elect other presidents and other congresses, But federal judges are on the job for life, unless im- peached—and there is no more difficult manner of get- ting rid of an unfit public official than by impeachment. In the early days of the republic there was little if any objection to the life tenure of the federal judges. Slow but persistent encroachment, however, has finally led to an assumption of legislative power by the judicial branch never intended by the framers of the constitution. And there has grown in the minds of the people a fear of the consequences; some thoughtful students of govern- ment see in it a menace to the perpetuity of the republic. Justices of the supreme court, in the popular mind, are either progressive or reactionary. When President Har- ding became president the popular belief was that there were three progressive justices and six reactionaries The substitution of Taft for White as chief justice did not disturb the proportion. It is too early to say what the replacement of Clark by Sutherland means. And Day's Successor has not been appointed. In all human probability there will be further changes in the supreme court during President Harding's incum- bency. Whether the tendency to usurp power not granted | by the constitution is to be checked or accelerated will . <a upon the mental make-up of the men he appoints. 2 ether respect for the courts as fountains of justice shall continue to wane or shall be restored will not de- d upon whether he appoints republicans or democrats, fet upon what KIND OF MEN he places on the bench. Men of vision, men of sympathetic understanding, men who appreciate the importance of human as well as of property rights, these are the kind who will help to e the nice balance of co-ordinate powers in our Site of government and save this republic from the fate of other republics that have waxed and waned. wife tatks him to death he hopes her next hus dust before a man’s Bank ts © book agent ; Michigan footballers beat Obio St cheer now bs “Ob-ioU.” niversity.

Many a mon crows sage from wild oats, The Cost of Political Highways Just outside of Portland, Ore., they are tearing up a $275,000 pavement that was put down less than three years ago. This short stretch of highway was laid under the of the state highway commission; it was to for years and it cost a dollar for each soul in the city of the state. Now it is discovered that only some five inches of was used, that round gravel instead of crushed was employed, that the cement wasn’t very good , and that there was such a demand for the ged that it was thrown open a bit too soon. ing that less than a 10-inch foundation is next to useless for a main highway, and seeing as round pebbles have been out of fashion since before Caesar’s time in Toads, one might wonder at the highway commission of a great state flinging more than a quarter million dollars to the contractors for a short holiday. But Washington and California have nothing to gloat over. They are barricading off miles of roads that have crumbled in a few years because the fundamentals of Modern, or ancient, construction were not followed. Washington has the best built roads on the coast and is building the best, and she generally refuses to let traffic on soft work. But she is sometimes more noted for her detours than for her highways. oll good is that either thru indifference, ignorance, politi expediency, or worse, a large part of the hun- dreds of millions this nation has spent for “good” roads in the last decade has been thrown away as truly as were the billions wasted in war. Weaving along under a mountain of bonded debt, many states will shortly discover that their roads have crum- bled, the contractors have faded, the political highway commissioners have retired, and only the bonds and de- linquent interest are left, with a greater necessity for og a than ever. That’s what politics does when alone. It is estimated the hand shaking from one King county election would pump 2,000,000 gallons of water.

Are you on speaking terms with a porterhouse steak? If you have even a bowing acquaintance with or a “memory of one, you'll be interested in these few kind words from the department of agriculture: They say that one of the differences in the beef you buy today and the beef you bought in years gone by is its age. Beefsteak is younger now, and tenderer than it used to be. But that does not mean you've a blanket guarantee for toothsomeness on all meat that you buy. Not at all. You must learn, they say, to distinguish between meat of “choice,” “good,” “medium,” and “common” grades. The man in the meat-market knows what he is selling you. If he deals only in “choice” and “good” beef, he naturally expects you to come across with more coin than if he hands you a package of “medium” or “com- mon” meat. Probably you’d enjoy a “choice” round steak more than you would a tenderloin from a “common” steer, of course, it’s a bit hard to learn overnight to be a connoisseur of beefsteak. But if, for any reason, you suspect your butcher of being a little too enthusiastic, you might look intelligent and murmur the names of the grades. “He'll be surprised.” Merely to put fertilizer on the ground does not bring the er have got to work and use your i with good farming, as well as to business ix the same as feedin, the same as cattle ly.

LETER FROM V RIDGE MANN The Methodists discussed, again, the fact that preachers all are men; and since the women claim the right, they made an earnest verbal fight, and tried toe put a ruling thru that women fill the pulpit, too. Should women preach or should they not? They found the ques tion pretty hot. They got asbestos mittens out, and tried to tons It round about, but after while, aa I have learned, they let it drop and then adjourned. The Brotherhood of Married Men revived the question once again They pulled the order's mystic trick—“I've got to stay with Bill he's sick”—and then behind a fastened door the burning question held the floor. A brother said, “It seems to me that there is where they ought to be. No man can ever hope to grab the winner's prize for sling ing gab; the women hold the prize for life—my gosh! You ought to hear my wifer Then Brother Henry Peck arose, “The brother's right, as heaven knows, But I'd amend the rule a bit, by adding Just a word, towtt the law, to make ft really fair, should read, ‘do ALL their preach Brotherhood of Married Men arose and passed the motion So now the women have to preach with hurband sufely of reach——for church, as every woman knows—ie where a husband seldom goes Ripe Raspberries at Bremerton Editor The Star: can do the same I have 13 bushes I have seen several letters in The} tn bloom and enough ripe raspber Btar about the flowers and berries| ries for a pint of sauce that are coming so late, and I want| A BREMERTON BOOSTER the world to know that Bremerton’ F.
