David J. Brewer.

David J. Brewer, Associate Justice Of the Supreme Court of the United States, was born in smyrna, Asia Minor, June 20, 1887. His father, Josiah Brewer, was a missionary to the Creeks in Asia Minor. The boy was brought to Ameri- ca early and was educated in the United States. He was graduated with honors at Yale in 1856 and after a course at the Albany law school went to the ter ritory of Kansas and began the prac- ttce of his profession. He was first elected as judge in 1862, soon after the admission of the State. It was decision while 8 judge of the Kansas Supreme Court that brought Justice Brewer into national prominence. In case that came before him in 1883 he held the anti-railway laws enacted by the State Legislature to be uncon- stitutionai. When President Harrison organized his cabinet he had a strong disposition to hand out one of the port folios to Judge Brewer, and later in the year he made the Kansas jurist a member of the United States Supreme Court.

A Day of Gloom.

OdlAdH NENH-
 It will be a day of gloom and hope lessness when the intelligent citizens of this country lose faith in the judi eiary, when Judges can be wed at will by politicians, demagogues or mobs and forced to yield their opinions and convictions and to decide causes to meet party exactions or popular clamor
 The one remedy that lies at the hands of the people is to leave. on electing incompetent men, unreliable men, dem agoEues or rascals to the bench. The place at which the people can defend themselves Is at the ballot box; or, in case of appointive Judges, by impeach- ment proceedings. Whenever Judges are brought down into politics they befoul their judiicaI robes and invite the very sort of indignity and con tempt against which every patriotic citizen would rejoice to see tn em fully protected But the fact that some misguided politicians on the wooIsack have invited popular suspicion and at- tack does not justify or excuse the loss of respect for the bench which the proposed amendment to the RepubII- can platform is expected to meet

It seems like a pity that so much energy and persplratlon were expended in the effort to find somebody to beat Taft. The allies. as they called them selves, should have known that Taft was Roosevelt's man and that Roose- welt is the Republican Party; hence. the fight against Taft was lost before it started.

A Modern Instanee.

Twenty years ago this week a Re- publican National Convention assem- bled in Chicago. Grover Cleveland had been President of the United States for something over three years. In his first message to Congress he had ent- cred strong protest against the con- tinued compulsory coinage of silver. He had said to Congress:
 When the time comes that gold has been withdrawn from circulation, then will be apparent the difference be- lar and a dollar in gold. and the two coins will part company. Gold, still the standard of value and necessary In our dealings with other countries, will be at a premium over silver; banks which have substituted gold for the de- posits of their customers may pay them with silver bought with such gold, thus
 akns iasdns ,,i hanqsoe aa ,bs,rp pEsofit rich spee their neighbors (who need it to liqui- date their foreign debts) at a ruinous premium, over silver. and the laboring fenseless of all. will find that the dol lar received for the wage of toll has sadly shrunk in purchasing power"
 Among Republicans-here in these older States. anyhow-there is nowa- days a substantially unanimous recog- milton of the value of the service MT. Cleceland rendered the country when he s took Sci,,s the part of the real interests against the silver folly. But in 1888 his course was violently resented In the silver-producing States and, in- deed, outside of them. The assem mbied politicians at Chicago thought they saw votes--a lot of Votes-in the situ- ation. Accordingly they said in their platform: The Republican Party is in favor of the use of both gold and silver as money. and condemns the policy of the Democratic administra- tton in its efforts to demonetize stl- yer"
 William Mckinley was the platform committees chairman that year, which doesn't mean that he wrote all the resolutions. Eight years later he was running for the Presidency as the gold. standard candidate, and was talking 10 the people in his front-porch speech es about the silver policy as Mr. Cleveland had talked to the impenitent Senators and Representatives in his messages.
 The moral is that it's better for a great national party to make a candid intelligent annouarament of its ineas and purposes than to scatter bait lav- ishly. right and left, for the catching votes.
