And now came tTOublous times, and
more troublOus in Kentucky than else
where, unless in Missouri. As late as
midsummer 1861, men-hoLest sincere,
patriotic, noble, willing to fight and
to die for belief-changed in political
opinion in the twinkling. Let no man
say what he viii do in time of revo-
luton John NJ. Harlan became a
Union soldier. colonel of the Tenth
Kentucky infantry. That same Roger
Hanson went south, colonel of the Sec
Ond Kentucky Infantry, though he was
a bitter and an eloquent Union man a
very little time earlier. Who shall say
Harlan was more patriotic than Han
son? The bigOt and the fool
kentucky's heart was southern; her
head was Union. 1t was father against
son, brother against brother, and these
opposed one another on many a strick-
en- field. At MurfreesborO the Twenty
first Kentucky federal regiment met
and grappled with the Sixth Kentucky
confederate regiment in as bloody a
battle as the war afforded, and kin
dred slew kindred.

A traveller writes that In the south
of France a thirsty man, by paying 3
cents, may go into a wine cellar and
remain there for half an hour without
espionage from the proprietor or his
agent If such a rule were to be es-
lar people would be compelled to fur
nish elevators with which to get the
customers out of the cellars. In half
an hour a really thirsty wine drinker
can accumulate at least a brief period
of Inconsistencies.

resigned from the army to administer
his fathers estate, who had just died,
and was that year elected attorney
general Of the commonwealth, a sta
ton that his father had filled years
earlier. In 1867 political Kentucky was
again in a state Of chaos. The state
had welcomed the returned confeder-
ates with open arms and killed the
fatted calf. Now they did more-the
state nominated them for office, and
elected them, too. Kentucky was the
"confederit crossroads and as rebel
lious as a condition short of war could
be.
There were three parties-the De-
mocracy, the Republicans, and a third
class, very select and very exclusive.
These were too loyal to be Democrats
and too respectable TO be Republicans.

1t is said that Judge Harlan has

John Randolph of Roanoke was as
brilliant a, man as ever sat in political
council in our country. The books that
Livy and TacitUs wrote and are lost;
the circumstances that Macaulay,
Thackeray and Dickens fell in their
prime, and ere their tasks were COM
plete-thess were calamities to letters,
ancient and modern. But there was a
man named Niles, who reported the
American congressional debates some
100 years ago, and he took it on him
self TO exercise a censorship on Amer
lean forensic eloquence and refused to
report some of Randolp's greatest
speeches, for the reason that he did
not have sense enough TO follow the
excursions of that wonderfully scintil-
lating and luminous mind. John Stuart
Mills servant maid kindled fire with
the original manuscript of Cariyle's
French Revolution" a puppy-or was
it kitten?-destroyed an immense la
Dor CT Isaac Newton. Such was Niles,
of the Register.
When jefferson got to be president
Randolph was his most trusted cOun-
selor, and of all meE Jefferson most
dIstrusted Marshall, and il is a curious
fact of family tree that these three
came from a common ancestor, a Ran
dolph, not three generations remote.
Robert L. Lee traced his line to the
same source. When Jefferson was in
augurated there was not a state that
did not hold that its legislature was the
judge of a controversy between the
state and the Union, and that idea was
especially rampant in Massachusetts.
AS late as 1914 it possessed New Eng
land. as is observed in the proceedings
of the Hartford convention.

Not so was Marshalrs view. He held
that i'm a dispute between the republic
and one of its members the republic
vas sovereign and the final arbiter.
This was an assertion OF 'the judicial
power" By this time jefferson had a
grip on executive power. and as presi-
dent at Washington he had a heap
more respect for, and d heap less jeal-
ousy of. power than he did as the
Sage of Monticello.
Randolph strove to increase the
membership of the supreme court I'M
i'll Marshall was in hopeless minority.
This counsel Jefferson rejected. It made
the war Of 1S61-65. 1t made the repub-
lie of Washington the empire of Roose-
Welt.

John Marshall Harlan is of the school
of Hamilton in politics, and the son of
an eminent jurist, who, In congress,
was a devoted follower of Henry Clay.
He was a boy at college when the Whig
party died. At q he was not only a
captivating public speaker, but a pow
erful advocate, at the bar or on the
stump. In 1855 Kentucky had three
brilliant young orators-John Nj. Har-
Ian, William c. P. Breckenridge and
John Young Brown-all graduated from
Center college. The last-named two
W ere Democrats, who separated iii 1860,
Breckenridge supporting his cousin and
Brown adhering 10 Douglas.
In 1856 Harlan canvassed the state
for Fillmore. In 1860 he was for Bell
and Everett. Prior TO that he was the
nominee of what they called "the OPP
position" for congress in the Ashland
district.
1t was, and is, judged by its repre-
sentation in the national house Of rep
resentatives, measuring them by per
sonal character, intellectual attain
ments and forensic eloquenCe, the first
constituency in all America. In 1851.
while Clay yet lived. John c. Brecken-
ridge, then fresh from war in Mexico,
redeemed it and sealed it to the De-
mocracy, defeating Leslie Coomb3. Two
years later ne beat Robert p. Letcher.
In 1855 he retired and was succeeded
by a Marshall. a Know-NOthing. In
1857 James b. Clay, son of the great
Henry, and a Democrat, beat Roger
Hanson. one of the most brilliant
men the Ashland district ever pro-
duced and who in less than seven
years was killed on the field of battle,
the commander of the famous Orphan
brigade.
In 1S59-in those days Kentucky
chose congressman In August of the
odd years after the term had began in
March previous-in 1859 the opposition

In round numbers without exact
computation of months and days. six
individuals have served on the United
states supreme court more than thirty
years each. Bushrod Washington of
Virginia, appointed by John Adams in
1898, was on the bench thirty-one years.
John Marshall of Virginia, also ap-
pointed by John Adams, in 1901, served
thirty-four years. Joseph Storey of
Massachusetts. appointed by James
Madison in 1911, remained in that sta
ton till 1916. John Mclean of Ohio,
appointed by John Quincy Adams in
1929. was on the bench as long after
ward as 1861. James NJ. Wayne of
Georgia, appointed by Andrew Jackson
in 1885, continued on the bench until
1867. Stephen ]. Field of California,
appointed by Abraham Lincoln in 1863,
did not retire until 1897. His was the
longest service, exceeding Marshalps
by a few weeks. MarshalTs exceeding
Storey's by a few months. William
Johnson of South Carolina, appointed
by Thomas Jefferson in 1904, served
thirty years.
John Marshall Harlan of Kentucky
was appointed by r. b. Hayes in 1877,
and is yet on the bench. after more
than thirty years, in a robust physical
manhood at "a, and with a splendid
lllCIlcl NlIilllgs ilOI YET out Oh us prime.
And ii is not hazardous to prophesy
that John NJ. Harlan, vigorous in mind
and strong in body. will be dispensing
justice from that tribunal. which he has
so long graced, ten years hence.
Though the bar of Kentucky, for the
first 100 years Of the republic, ranked
with the bar of any other state in
character and learning, but three Ken
tuckians have been appointed to the
supreme bench-Todd in 1907 and Trim
BILE in 1926, preceding Harlan. On the
other hand, Ohio, younger state, has
supplied the supreme bench with six
members, two of them chief justices.
Section !, article III of the federal
constitution cOnfers on the supreme
court 'the judicial power" The judi
ciary of no other people allow it to the
extent our judiciary has assumed it.
1t is a vast and a dangerous power,
and the wonder is that it has not
wrecked the country. That it has not,
tells volumes for the character and the
learning and the purity of the men who
have been elevated to that bench, and
this, too, despite the fact that politics
has entered into the selection of more
than nine of every ten of the more than
three-score judges who have worn that
erlnine. Nay, Marshall himself, the
greatest judge who ever expOunded the
politics and a1judged the statutes of
a free people, got his place on the
bench for his politics. General Grant
made two men judges of that court to
get a decision that a greenback is a
good legal tender under the constitu-
ton.
