the worsted manufacturers. The pros
ent tariff law was framed largely by
those who are benefited by 1t. and has
been denounced In all tho dialects, the
President himself having led the orig
inai chorus of condemnation, and It
would seem that some members of the
Tariff Board. upon which the President
has placed his hopes, have come under
the spell. When it's report is made 1t
would be competent for Congress- to
find out where and how and when 1t

JUDICIAL TIMBER SCHOOL.

AGAIN In his career President Taft
who will go down in history as tho
great judge making executive. is called
upon to name Justice of the United
States Supreme Court. he has alreadv
named four such Justices, and Inns
promoted Justice to the Chief Jus
ticcship--a record equaled only by
Lincoln. washington appointed a full
court 1t is true. but since the forma-
ton OF the Court only Lincoln and TAFT
have appointed majority of this
Court
The appointment this time, it seems
to US, is one in which too much caro-
cannot be exercised. The duty ia even
more solemn and grave than in the
other nominations. 1t seems certain
that the President viii sock some man
of great learning in the law, great

to be tried by the Court, and 1t is

Washington and Lee Law School
The law professor is, as a rule, a
scholar in the law. The time which
practitioners take up In litigation, the
teacher puts In the study of the law.
The we'll rounded law teacher knows
the law of the land and the laws of
other countries. He has the broad
view, tho judicial perspective. More
than that. he has had, In many In
stances. no past aniliation with the in
terests. Often, he has had little cor
poration practice and his experience
In litigation has not given him those
unconscious prejudices and lcanings
which sometimes crop out. The law
teacher is nodded after the fashion OF
judge-ne makes it his business to
know the law; he does not learn It to
twist 1T to his own ends He is, by
training and by preference, judicial
and impartial in his thinking.
The President would make no mis-
take in selecting a Judge from the
ranks OF the law-teaching profession.
The great law schools have exerted a
powerful influence for the reform and
uplfft of the law; they have poured
thousands of highly trained lawyers
into the world; they arc non-partisap
