SCATTERING A TRADITION.
White the First Associate Ever Made
Chief Justice Of Supreme Court.

Edward Douglass White is the first
associate justice of the United States
Supreme Court who ever became
chief Justice. John Rutl,sdge had
served as associate justice, but he
was not q member of the court when
I ne was appointed chief justice, and
his nomination was not confirmed by
the senate.
More curious still. White is the
only chief Justice of the Supreme
: Court who previous to his appoint
ment had even been a Federal judge.
All the other chief justices-Jay, Els
worth. Marshall. fancy, Chase. Waite
and Fuller-went directly from polit-
ica or private life to that great Of
flee.
II has been held for years that an
Lunwritten law forbade the elevation
of an associate justice TO be chief
Justice. This rule was grounded IN
the theory that such promotion might
excite jealousies on the Supreme
bench, and that associate Justices
might be tempted in time OF great
national stress TO decide cases IN ac-
cordance with the wishes or the
President in order TO gain his FAVOR.
That theory has been destroyed py
experience The Supreme Court is
the trustee of its own honor. when
il guards vigilantly. After the legal
tender case Associate Justice Grler
was compelled to retire from the
bench because the other justices felt
that his conduct reflected upon the
court. What would happen 10 a JUS
tice who shaped his decisions TO Sc
cure promotion from President can
be readily surmised. His career would
never survive the contempt of his
colleagues.
II is significant that when Presi-l
dent finally shattered this tradition
of hundred years he did so in or
der TO appoint member Of an oppo-
site political party to the highest jul
dicial office in the world.-New York
World.
