Editorial JUSTICE ELKIN AND HIS CAREER .Justice Klkin's death, canning without public premonition cf the event, is a shook to the people of Pennsylvania. No man was better or more favorably known, and in the ordinary course of events he should have had more than a score of years of usefulness left to the Common wealth he has Serve 1 so well. 11 is service on the Supreme Bench has been of great honor to himself and profit to the Commonwealth. His decisions were characterized by lu cidity and a wholesome regard for essential justice regardless of mere technicalities. His departure leave 3 a vacancy which will be difficult to fill. To a very great extent justices of the Supreme Court are men apart from the community. They are often closet-students, who have had little contact with the stirring events of life. On the contrary, Justice Elkin came to the Supreme Bench without previous judicial training and was less hampered than some of his colleagues by traditions of the bench. His career is a splendid example of the opportunities offorded every young man in this country, who. with energy and native ability, strives for advancement. The title of "Plowboy of Indiana" bestowed upon the late Justice was a tribute to his early struggles on a farm. On the rugged hills of his native county he learned self-reliance and found his ambition yearning for other things. By working in mills by day and studying by night, he equipped himself for a law course and the bar. and soon came into public life as an able, honest and re sourseful legislator and administra tor. Just how near became to being Governor of the Commonwealth is known only to a few. He had won at the primaries in 1002, but the ex igencies of the situation as conceived by Senator, Quay deprived him • f what he. had fairly won. It is safe to believe that there would have been no Capitol scandal if Elkin had been elected Governor It is safe to say that opposing his intimate friend at the demand of Quay was the bit terest act of Israel Durham's life and probably hastened his death. Justice Elkin was not only a states man and a jurist, but an eminently lovable man. He enjoyed sports, he was an omniverous reader and a man of tine tastes. Some months ago he appeared in the mock trial of Edwin I>rood at the Academy of Music as the judge and read an opinion which seems destined to become a classic. The State of Pennsylvania and the Nation are poorer for the loss of sucli a man, but at least his eareer lIKI_\ Le looked upon by young men <>i t<>da\ as a stimulus, since few are so handicapped as he who fou (r ht the good fight and won over obstacles which have defeated lesser uien Philadelphia Inquirer. f oft.

I OBSERVED IN i.U'J', STATES H ' In Thirty-one Commonwea>i.hs Oct. 12, IT Anniversary of Discover-, of America by Columbus, la Legal K,o.,Jay. and There Is Movement to Make It Na tional Event. | Four hundred tad tveuty three year* I ago. on Oct. 12. 1 hristoiiher Columbus I : discovered America. In tbirty-oae statn I of the I nion what is known as Coluiu bus day. the auuiversary of the clij*- covery, is a legal holiday. Every year the holiday Is becoming more general, and there is a movement on to make I Oet. 12 a national holiday similar to Washington's birthday, Independent* B day and the other great national fete B days. In most of the big cities of the coun try this year the usual Columbus day E celebrations will tie dispensed with, fi The fact that Italy and most of the 1 nations of Europe are at war has a tj .great deal to do with the omission of | the usual celebrations. Instead of pa rades and banquets there will be ebar ' " s££ ' 0 CHKISTOPHEU COLUMWO& ity affairs to raise funds for the war j sufferers. The war also will have lta effect on the celebrations by tho Knights of Columbus. While banquets will be held in many parts of the coun try, there will not lie the holiday spirit and gladsome speeches that marked the celebrations of former years. National Holiday Movement. In the movement to make Columbus day a national holiday prominent Ital ians are quoting the speech made by Charles W. Fairbanks at a banquet of the Knights of Columbus held in In dianapolis, I nd.. two years ago. At this banquet Mr. Fairbanks said in part: "It is a fine tribute to our sense of gratitude that after more than 400 years have elapsed since the great navigator reached San Salvador we j should pause to recall his arduous work and briefly survey the tremen dous results which have flown from what he accomplished. "When Columbus set out on his voy age which led to the discovery of the I western continent he was seeking u shorter route to the eastern shores of the orient. While h<* did not succeed in his ambitious enterprise, he never theless accomplished far more than lie anticipated, and in the final analysis his bold undertaking more profoundly shaped tile history of the world than he could ever have dreamed possible "It is of course too much f< believe that even in I lie wildest sweep of Ins imagination be could have foreseen what we have witnessed. No seer was inspired with visions keen enough to foretell how a great people would be developed in the western world and how the destinies of other peoples would be influenced by the precept and example >f the millions who were to set up and develop their institutions in the land discovered by Columbus. Appreciation Not Diminished. "Of course we do not entertain the belief for a moment that America would not in good time have been dis covered had the voyage of the Genoese navigator ended in disaster and his name disappeared from among men, bnt this does not diminish the measure of our appreciation of his high moral courage. of the hardships he endured and of his tinal triumph over the dan gers of the sea and his victory over •louht aud doubters. The great dLscov j ery stands to his everlasting credit. The houor is his, and undivided. His name is one among the foremost of , the world's !>eiiefactors. It is one which in God's providence is destined to survive as long as men treasure the deeds wrought in behalf of mankind. "On such an occasion as this we be come. in the very nature of tilings, reminiscent. Our minds sweep back over the past, and we recall with in terest and enthusiasm the great things which have been done in the tedious ! progress of mankind the world about. But our minds more particularly revert to what we have accomplished in our own land. We recall the past In order that we may avoid error and appropri ate what is best to our future advance ment.'
