narder To Be Chief Justice Than- It Is To Be President Adams Appointed Marshall To Spite Jefferson—Taney’s Decision Caused Furor. It is harder to get the mantle ol chief Justice of the United States than to be president, writes Girard in Philadelphia inquirer. In 130 years only seven men were chief justice, but four times that many became president. Marshall and Taney together hpaded American courts for sixty (nree years. Those two were selected for pure ly political reasons and their de cisions quite naturally caused far TRUSTEE’S SALE.

HOEY, Trustee. greater controversies than were seen since their day. The very last night that John Adams was-president he appointed John Marshall chief Justice. He wanted to spite the Inoomlng Jefferson and prevent his selecting a Democrat. And It was true that, barring Alexander Hamilton. Jeffer son had no other political foe who matched John Marshall. The chief justice's future battles with Jefferson were far more mo mentous than any the latter had carried on against Hamilton. Marshall’s opinion freeing Aaron Burr from the charge of treason up set President Jefferson's plans. It also created a national furore and is still the subject of heated historical controversy after 123 years. But no other opinion rendered by a chief justice caused the violent sequel which followed Taney's Died Scoot decision. Lincoln was among those who heatedly assailed the chief justice. Dred Scott, of course, was a slave and Taney’s decision was the Southern interpretation of the vex ed problem Involved in the fugitive slave law. Taney was a brilliant lawyer who was educated at Dickson college, Carlisle. While Buchanan was pres ident Dickinson set a record never equalled by any other college in having one son for chief justice and another in the White House. Lincoln's opponents claimed that he appointed Salmon P. Chase chief justice in 1864 to remo ve him as v presidential contender. In political circles the majestic looking Chase was regarded as a trouble-maker. He doubtless felt himself a bigger man than Lincoln, while Stewart, the secretary of state, held a simi lar view about himself. Alas! History failed to put the O. K. on either Morrison R. Waite appointed chief justice by Grant, was entirely col orless, and Melville W. Fuller, nam ed by Cleveland, matched him in that respect. Not so Edward D. White, of Louisiana, whom Taft elevated from associate justice to be chief justice. White was a Confederate officer and a Catholic, so that Taft de fied lightning in two ways. I heard John J. Johnson say that White was the ablest lawyer who had been in the supreme court bench for years, or perhaps ever. All his friends have said that Taft was much happier as chief Justice than as president. But Taft had a remarkable knack of Joshing about his own deep pol - tical—the wound caused by h».s failure to be re-elected president. I've heard him more than once Joke about the lonely eight elec toral votes from Utah and Vermont which he received hi 1912. And when he added that famous chuckle of his those who heard him felt that here was the true philoso pher, but were deeply sorry for trm. There was no more kindly man ever in the White House than Tait. as I found him when 1 had a long interview with him when he was president. I’ve often wondered how Tait and Brandies got along in the supreme court. It was the latter, as a Bos- j ton lawyer, who conducted that terrific assault upon Secretary Bax Unger in Taft’s cabinet. College Girls Can Pet There No More West Chester.—Two drug stores and one restaurant which they characterize as nothing but minia ture night clubs and places where “petting parties” can be Indulged In, have aroused the Ire of the of ficials of the West Chester Teach ers college here. The 800 or more girl students have been forbidden, under penalty of suspension, from entering the places. College authorities feel that the atmosphere of the three estab ishments Is not conducive to high xholastic standards. Dr. Norman W. Cameron, princi pal, Issued the edict at a chapel as ;embly. He said he Was forced to act because of conditions which the chool authorities thought were dangerous to the welfare of the students, and added that at least one or two girls had been expelled for violating the college regulations According to Dr. Cameron, the ban will be lifted if conditions be come better in the future. The drug stores are in the central business section, and the restaurant is neai the edge of the borough. Harsh Definition. A bishop was paying a visit to a certain parish and decided to ad dress the children of the Sunday school. He had noticed many post ers referring to the ‘‘bishop's vis itation,” and accordingly began his talk by asking the children the meaning of the word “visitation.” “Please sir.” replied a youngster, “it's a plague sent by God." Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM. '«*. /v.-. W, .’W. -ww /wv v*s^ w/ V IT HAS been some several weeks since a crew of maga zine girls has worked Shelby, but news from Morganton is to the effect that a bevy of the ‘•won’t-you.please-take-a magazine-and-help-me-out” girls are workng that town. And that may mean a visit to Shelby soon. A pleasing item, no loubt, to some men, and an irritating one to others. IT'S RATHER Interesting thou h j disgusting, perhaps, nt times, to watch those girls sell their maga-1 sines, or their subscriptions for the i magazines do not always arrive. They are usually real hlgh-p~essure sellers. Which doesn’t mean that they have a powerful sales talk as I do the shrewd high-power salesmen j who sell bonds, real estr te and go; t bricks. Their methods are different, yet just as smooth, and their hlgh nressu e tactics are to press close to their victims, droop their eyes in an attempted dramatic manner thut would say “Oh, you nlze, big man nikins, I know you would help a l ttl-j working girl out and take a couple of magazines.” It would be highly interesting to know just what percent of prospects are sold by the magazine girls in Shelby, or anywhere eke. They ap pear to work on older men more I ,han young men, which would indl-! cate that they are well versed in their game when they start out, for ~he men r round the midway post in ,fe, or a little beyond, are not so accustomed to close contact with little vamps who well know how to put the best foot forward when working on an always gullible man —which is to say that the men up in life, with their .spooning days many years in the prst, are easier to1 thrill with goo-goo eyes, puckered1 Ips, and shrugging, lithe bodies no j overly covered up han are young i men accustomed to dating up with Just such things every night. Per haps, since the monltey gland theo ries have not as yet proven a suc cess in actuality, the magazine girls r re serving a good pu pose in life by making el erly men feel sk ttlrh as colts—for 15 or 20 minutes any how. One thing making it hard to 'heck up on actual sales made by the magazine girls is that many cl the men sold hand over their mon ey and csk that the magazine, or magazines, not be sent to them. For :hat tliey have an excellent reason: wives do not lose their reasoning power at the time ot their marriage, uicl when a coupl% of fiction maga zines begin coming to a man who ■i ldom ever reads anything other Ulan the stock market page, friend wife likely pons some embarasstng questions at her lesser half. All of this non-essential preani ale, by the way, merely leads up to he following magazine girl episode s related by William Leslie iri his Morgan ton News-Herald column: "The whoopee magazine girls de scended upon our peaceful little i'illagc last week, “One of the young ladies, after xhausttng her usual repertoire of high pressure methpds on Mr. Tewt Hallyburton. leaned near him, ■ratted him on the cheek and said, You will buy one, won't you dear?” Mr. Hallyburton reached in his pocket, produced some change and placed It in the young ladl~s' palm With the remark, “Here is two ~ent.s. Go buy a htamp and write your papa to come take you home." IF ALL auto owners were as par t cu'ar about preserving their cars as io “Goo-gco” Webb, ears would ast a lifetime. “Goo-goo," for the benefit of the few who may not know one of Shel by's weirdest characters, Is the blind, deaf, and dtvnb negro who push's a car this auto) about the -treats of Shelby.

But this is a story of “Goo goo's” method of taking care of his car. Each evening, or night, when he goes home he parks his cart-car under a tree in the yard. Feels around for two strips of cardboard and runs tlic wheels ot the cart upon the cardboard. Ap parently the Idea Is to keep the damp ground from rotttnlng hts tires and that despite the fact that the tires are of Iron. The next move Is to spread a heavy plect 01 wrap tng paper ovei the entire cart. Quite a number of Shelby people can ‘ talk" with ‘•Ooo-goo,'’ carry ing on their conversation with grunts, signs ant* nudges of the body. 'Hie Rudasili family operated a laudry here lor yea’-* and Lillian Rudasili tells a good one about "Goo-goo's" method of telling when h« wanted his laundry back He wftuld put the palms of his hands together and rest his head upon them In the stage manner- of Indi cating sleep.
