BREWER FOR IWUNCTIOhS
JUSTICE FAvoRS ENLARGINo
POWERS OF THE COURT.
Feature Of His Commencement Adr
dress at Clark College at
Worcester, Mass.

WORCESTER, Mass. June 19.-Asso-
ciate Justice David J. Brewer of the
United States Supreme Court. in an ad-
dress at Clark College commencement
here yesterday. declared that the restrain.
ing power OF the court of equity should
be enlarged and not diminished" and
that to restrict this power Of the court
is a step backward toward barbarism."
Justice Brewer said:
The injunction has become a political
question and topic for heated denun-
citation. There never was q time in the
history of the nation when the full re-
straining power of the equity court was
of so much importance to the nation. As
the population becomes more and more
dense and activities increase. tie re-
straining power of the equity court 10
worth vastly more than the Furnishing
power of the criminal court. II IL in line
with the highest thought Of the day.
I'VE aim to stay the epidemic, and not
has gained Roadway. We strive to stamp
out vice in the slums, not by driving out
the residents. but by letting In light ana
air and the comforts OF civilization. To
restrict the restraining power OF the court
is step backward toward barbarism fn-
stead of a step forward to higher ciy1lixa-
ton.
Courts Make Mistakes
Courts make mistakes in tie granting
of intunctions: so do they in other judi.
cial action. know that labor organise
tions are especially energetic In claiming
that the power of the injunction Is used
mainly against them. OF course. TINS 10
not true. Injunctions are granted against
ali sorts of persons and organizations
every day in the year.
Look at the acts of violence and strife
which have been checked or prevented by
this restraining power. 1t does not follow
that the power ought to be used against
canitai and corporations and not against
labor.
.'The restraining power Of the court OF
equity should be enlarged. and not d.
minished, and the judiciary improved un-

throng.
Roll Call Amid the Uproar.
Slowly but Enthusiastically It was borne
in upon the crowd that the nominations
had been closed by the calling OF the
names of the states and territories that
follow Wisconsin on the roll, and that
now the vote for the various candidates
was actually being taken That this was
the fact was made doubly evident when
a man with a megaphone came to he
front of the gangway to help Mr.. Molloy.
Still the noise kept on. and 1t was
wholly impossible to hear the secretaries
speaking.
Some of the chairmen of delegations
walked down to the platform and shouted
the vote back to the secretaries at the
table. Other chairmen Of delegations
rose and made signs with their fingers in
dicating ten votes for Taft, and still the
crowd would not keep still.
Soon, however. the people who were
really interested in the votes began to
hiss for silence. Then gradually the
shouting and the cheering diminished and
the secretary's voice could be heard now
and again. Anon the sound grew in VOL
ume but these occasions became less and
less frequent. At least in lull the name
of the state of Georgia was heard. and
that quoted the crowd. which realized all
at once that 1t had missed the vote from
seven states on the nomination of the
candidates.
Only the Spectators Noisy.
That ended the Roosevelt demonstra-
ton of the day. which had lasted twen-
ty-two minutes. and through which every
one of the delegates except those from
Wisconsin. who were cheering for La Fol-
lette. remained perfectly impressive. The
sight of the delegates remaining quiet
and undisturbed was almost as wonderful
to behold as the crowd cheering itself
hoarse uselessly.
The roll of the states proceeded quietly
enough after the Roosevelt demonstra-
ton AS each state that voted q solid
delegation for Taft announced its choice
there was a shout of joy from the Taft
crowd and some applause from the rest
of the delegates.
with brief delay the vote was an
nounced Then, of course. there was an
other demonstration for Taft It did not
last long, and it was not widespread. Ev-
ery one even the Taft people themselves.
Convention Adjourns.
Then quickly came the motion TO ad-
iourn till 10 O'Clock this morning. and
quickly II was carried. The sun was pour
ing through the western windows of the
Coliseum. Men scrambled to their feet
and made for the door. Women hastily
gathered up their handkerchiefs and fans
and did likewise. BY the dozen doors Of
the hall the crowd poured out.

Senator. Scott OF West Virginia went to

conversed energetieally with Secretary

Of the gangway and began to talk to the

their approval. The uproar was every

that II was lasting remarkably long. 1t
swelled back and forth and around the
big building until every one was on his
feet looking and listening for some sound
that should give the keynote Of what was
TO follow.
Then every one saw the picture and un-
derstood. Senator Lodge was not pleased.
He raped hard for order, and with the
first sound Of the savel on the box the
crowd raised a mighty voice with q slight
tone OF anger in 1t and went on with it's
demonstration. 1t would have none OF

calism rolled into one. and It yelled to its
hearts content.
Roosevelt's Portrait Displayed.
Senator Lodge walked back and forth
and rubbed his forehead with his palm
at a loss what to do. He gave some Or
ders and once more raped for order, but
unavailingly. Just then there came into
the gallery behind the speakers platform
two men carrying a great American nag
on each side Of which was fastened a
Autograph of Roosevelt.

noise before, that which followed the an
pearance of the hag was of twice the in

kept on. and the men in the gallery were
