Fanfare.

Burrell in Washington Qa.) Press:
l like to be in a federal court when the
judge enters. 1t is like being at
Shakesperian play, the king with his
retinue entering at speed, the trumpets
blowing. The clerk sounds the royal
signal, as it We're, the court pauses
and faces the audience, all the bar
within the rail rising, the officer pro-
claims the opening of court. 1t is a
very breezy, inspiring spectacle, and
in democratic America it is the only
popular sample of national sover-
eighty. The judge, of course, knows
that he is only man, if not a worm
of the dust, but through him CLEANS
the brightness of a symbol of national
authority. He stands there the image
of Uncle Sam, we'll nigh omnipotent
now that he has become a world pow
er. Through him we see dimly the
majesty of the American nation, a ma
tional figure as august and imposing
as the old Roman kingdom. Some
how, we feel the power in the grand
spectacle, and our blood tingles with
patriotic pride, and, maybe, we MUIR
muir, "We too are American citizens"
When convenient, run in to federal
court to see the opening morning
scene. 1t will impress you as a sort
of worship, since it is an homage paid
by the bar to the dignity of the state,
incarnated for the moment in the per-
son of the Judge.
But the whole audience should rise
and participate in the secular mathis.
