HUGHES AND THE ST.
PREME COURT

4 very able correspondent takes plausible is
sue with The Nirginian the point of It's
criticism Of cx-President Roosevelt for seeking
to induce Governor Hughes, of New York, to
resign the nomination as Associate Justice OF
the Supreme Court, which he accepted, to take
effect in October. Our correspondents view
l., that As Governor of New York, Mr. Hughes
will continue to be- virile success; while, as
Judge of the Supreme Court, he will merely add
another member Of corporation Ieanings to "A
court called to pass next Fall upon matters
Of more really great Importance than anything
that has been presented tor solution III genera

We think that this is essentially unfair, both
10 Governor Hughes and to Mr.. aft. Certain
ly upon the manner in which the high court of
the Nation meets the great problems Of the re-
lationship Of corporate development to national
power depends i'll very real measure the terms
upon which the next great countrywide adj
justment is to be made. To participate ably
in that decision is assuredly to the country
at large as truly and as well as it would be to
serve the State Of New York in the capacity
of Executive prosecutor of graft. In our opin-
ion, Governor Hughes has talked just trife
too much on the subject of his own honesty, just
a. with more open conceit Mr.. Roosevelt has
emphasized his own claims on "decency". These
arc virtues not readily monopolized, and the at
tempt to do SO implies an unjust SANDER upon
people at large. Both Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Hughes, by emphasizing the fact that the people
may work reforms of their own initiative, have
been of exceeding value to the country. As
an exceedingly able lawyer, and as OF
absolute tearlessness, Mr.. Hughes Supreme
Court Judge can, think, be of more real and
lasting benefit that even as Governor of so great
a State as New York. The point of our crit
iciSln of the effort to ugge such position in the
interest of local politics was simply that the
Supreme Court of this country is too important
to make proper amy compromise of its better
interests for political ends.
There may be an idea that man can be
buried upon the Supreme Court, but nothing
is more fallacious, especially in time like the
present, when its decisions are forming for al
announcement of principle that will be epochal
whichever way they fall.

Automobiles and Good Roads.

Editor Of The Richmc nd NirginiAn:
Sir.--I notice by the Richmond papers that 1t Is
estimated that the tax automobiles will add
the road fund OF the State fifty

1t seems that il the automobile people in
the State going to ptrbue his amount of money
annually for the support of roads they should
get some benefit from 1t. Why not take this money

MUNICIPAL, PITY.

The action Of the council in appropriating
5000 TO pay the hospital expenses of Martin Lee
O'Neill, the eight year old boy injured by a
ire truck last November, will, we are sure,
strike responsive chord in the hearts of the
people of the city generally.
Young O'Neill, running like boy in the
excitement of seeing the apparatus 60 by, was
caught by big truck and his leg fearfully
crushed.
Although The accident was unavoidable and
no blame whatever attaches to the city, the APP
preparation was made in the line of expressing
through the corporation spirit of personal pity
which cities too infrequently exhibit. 1t Is a
hopeful sign when the most impersonal of all
popular agencies thus indicates the heart beat
behind the government that, in the case of a
child, is universal among the people whom in
the final analysis it represents.

ACT NOW.

The proposition made by the Mayor to borrow
the money to complete at once the improvements
on Broad street is a good one and should be
acted ppon by the council without delay. There
is no division IF opinion a. to the desirabllty
of paving Broad street in proper way. The
entire city uses the street and il is of such pro-
portions and importance that the lighting and
paving Of this street will add greatly to the
civic pride Of the city. 1t will be ornament

ciated at home bur will be regarded as one OF
