"THE BEST EVER :"
from The Jefferson Democrat.

From The Jefferson Democrat
Hnwcs says that james u. Fox
is the best judge that has ever been
on our Supreme bench; and why
aud how he came to that conclu.
sion should be of great moment to
the other Judges. What has he
done in the short time that he ha-
been on the bench that would wars
rant such Il broad assertion by Il
candidate for the Democratic nom
inntIon for Governor 1t is re-
markablc that man supposed to
be seeking such nomination
should make so grouudlcSs AN as
scrtion. Those who know Fox
best and have had opportunities of
learning Of him by living near
him, should, in the light of this
opinion of llawcs, have all the
more contempt tor the Supreme
Court aud have n much poorer
opinion of the other Judges than
they now have. Why does lIawes
think Fox so great! Does he
really think so or was he thinking
to play for favor by doing that
here! II it was that that caused
him to make that statement, he
made n mistake; hut if that is not
the reason it was still II mistake on
any other premise, other than this
that he is the greatest Supreme
Judge Missouri ever had because
he wrote the opinion that gave Ed.
ward Butler his liberty. Butler
ought to forgive llawcs for ull
past obstrrprrOusneSS, for this in
direct approval of him, and we
venture to say that llawes was
looking to that end. We can con,
.rcivc Of no other hypothesis.
What then does Ilawcs gain in re-
turn for this bid for favori But
Ter has said that llawes would get
the st. Louis delegation, and it is
possible that lIawcs is paying him
for it this way. Whatever his mo
tive is in praising Judge Fox it
does not gain from us either ap.
pr0val or appreciation; and it is
incomprchensibIe that any sane
man who is not controlled by the
interests that succeeded in getting
Fox on the supreme bench could
give approval to the utterancc of
such an aiIront to the personnel of
our Supreme Court, past and
present. 80

no water in its stock and that il is
not trying to mOnOpollze any

remedy that means something n

of course, il is opposed by those

still stands by the platform and
still opposes the trusts.

This is an example of the har-
mouy' which is So much talked
about aud suggests what may be
expected when II "rrorgunizrd"
