New York Special: William J. Gaynol
Isn't = myatery. His public course ha.
been called cratic. but II ~ as straight
a . string. This is NOT to say It has
been sensible.
He has been accused. OF being . mystic
and praised tor being = reformer. He
has been charged with thinking he is q
demigod and eulogi1ed for claiming to be
. democrat. The confusion Is In the
minds Of the detractors and the eulogists
He Is none of these things: he Is q sur
vival.
Everything he has lone on the bench
and everything hi has said off the bench
can be traced to one thtng-a faIatical
devotion to a certain epigram. Wide
apart rs MS decisions and speeches may
seem to be they can all be traced to that;
and it is the cpigram. THAT government

about to make, or this speech you are

vent this trOlly company from keeping
h00diums off Its cars" the justice would
reply In effect, 81 cant help that. It Is
