THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. J. C. WINK, . Editor PNOPRirroR. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1910 Lobstkrs are to be increased In supply, It la said. The lata election, however, ahowed a discouraging supply already on hand. Aftbr all, the most practical kind of reformer la the fellow who makes a fairly good Job of reforming himself. Punzy Spirit. Aye, theie's rub. President Diaz declares with em phasis that be has given the insurgents of Mexico no reason to insurge. Tbat Is the last thing an Insurgent looks for a rea son. President Taft on Monday nomi nated Aaaoclate Justice Edward Douglaa White V tie Chief Justice of the United State Supreme Court, and the appoint- tnent was 'Tin mediately confirmed by the Senate,-' JtWgo Willie Van de Venter, vof Wyoming, and Judge Joseph Kucker Lamar, ot Georgia, were appointed -as Associate Justices of the Supreme Court. The following are live members of the new ooramerceoourt named at the aa'me time: Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission; Judge Robert W. Archbald, of Pennsylvania; Judge William H. Hunt, of Montana; Judge Juliao W. Mack, of Illinois, and John Emmelt Carlaod, of South Dakota. One of our exchanges the editor of which fell badly over the result of the election in this district sayi that Congressman-elect Speer will not have much place or opportunity after lie takes bis aeat In the House uext year, as be will be a new member and bis party will be In the minority during his term. - This re mains to be determined. An honest, ac tive man, determined to serve his con atituenta, always at his desk during see ion and the wit to make himself useful sometimes develops amazing influence nd securea substantial recognition. Bui this district does not eujoy having its representative too unimportant in tbe councila of tbe nation and tbe voters may decide to give Mr. Speer more Influence by re-electing him lor many yeara to come. Meanwhile, it will be good politics for those opposed to blm to refrain from abowing too much assurance as V this very able man being treated as of little importance in a House where tbe Repub lican members are not numerous enough to control tbe situstion except by unity with each other and with the Republican Senate and President, and not always then. Fraoklia News. An effort will be made to have the date for next year's primarie-" for some time in September. Those who have become tired of a continual round of politics from one year to another and between times, nd who baa not? -this new order of things will be most welcome. Two months of campaigning is plenty enough politics for one year, but with the candi dates announcing their caudidacy early in December, as bas been the custom for several years past, and tbe primaries in June one does not bave even a breathing spell between one election and the next too much of a good thing, to say the least. Next November not only every county officer will be voted for, but all borough and township offices will be fill ed, and with the primaries in June It wonld mean tbe bug house for many a citizen of tbe best intentions long before November got around again. Uuder the circumstances, September is plenty early enough to plunge into tbe political fray gain. A candidate who cannot do all the campaigning in two months that is ab solutely necessary, ought to be left at home to gather the following winter's supply of stovewood. Smethport Demo crat. Having in mind the appointment of a number of U. S. Supreme Court Juatices recently announced by President Tall, the editor of tbe Oil City Blizzard makes the following pointed observations: "In judicial matters, as in basketball, much depends on tbe umpire. This is why such iuterest has been manifested in con nection will the uamingofaCbief Justice of the Supreme Court, and tbe associate justices. Tbe business interests of the country realize fully tbe desirability of having an impartial legal umpire in tbe court of last resort, and there are doubt less some persons who would feel more at ease ifconfiilent tbe men on the bench were Inclined to treat tbem leniently un der any conditions wbich might arise. Whenever anything in the nature of criti cism of tbe judiciary is offered it Is apt to rouse a vigorous protest. Yet judges re only human beings, with frailties and weaknesses like the rest of us, and a more or less fully developed inclination to look out for number one. In most cases they re exactly what they should be, hon est, upright and Impartial, but there aro black sheep in the judicial fold, as well as in other flocks, and there is no more rea son why a learued legal goat should be immune from well deserved ceusure than any other man." Population tnited Slates, 91,072,208. It was officially announced at the Cen sus Bureau at noon Saturday, that the population of tbe United Slates, Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico ia 13,402,151.
