Maybe some of us have forgotten that there
was an associate justice of the United States
Supreme Court who laid aside the ermine to
accept a political prize. David Davis was
the Justice. and before he became United
States Senator from Illinois by a coalition
OF the Independents and Democrats, he had
been balloted for as a presidential nominee
in the Liberal Republican convention which
finally nominated Horace Greeley. Still. JUS
tice Hughes may agree with tho former JUS
tice, who said. "The chief magistracy of the

Brandeis and Cummins

NNE of the good friends of The Times
~ Dispatch calls attention to the fact that a
recent editorial on the Brandeis case, which
said in terms that Senator Cunlmins's criti-
cism of the nominee for the Supreme Bench
was limited to his conduct Of the railroad rate
case, did not correctly represent the Iowa
Senator's position. MIR. Cummins did criti-
cize Mr.. Brandcis on other accounts.
1t remains true, however, that the railroad
rate case was relied on principally by Mr..
Cummins to support his allegation Of unfit
ness against Mr.. Brandeis. In the matter of
space, as we'll as Of emphasis, the Senator's
estimate of its Importance is revealed. The
report also reveals Senator m own
conception Of the duty Of a lawyer under
the special circumstances of that case.
Mr.. Brandeis, it will be remembered, had
been employed by the Interstate
Commission. He was the counsel for the
whole people of the United States. He had
b' 1t instructed by the commission Ito under
take the task of seeing that all sides and
angles OF the case are presented of record,
without advocating any particular theory for
its disposition" Mr.. Brandeis, without hay-
Ing taken Clifford Thorne, of Iowa, espe-
cially into his confidence, although he had
told other counsel in the case what his con-
clusion was. announced in argument that, in
his Judgment, 'the net operating revenues OF
the carriers are smaller than is consistent
with their assured prosperity and the well
fare Of the community"
This is the statement that aroused the
anger of the highly virtuous Mr.. Thorne, and
which, at a later day, has moved Senator
Cummins to wrath. And here is Senator
view. set down in his report to the
Judiciary Committee, of the course Mr.. Bran
dels properly should have pursued: II have
heard 1t said that if Mr.. Brandeis honestly
believed the railroads were right on this
question it was his duty to say so. Any such
view is n total misconception Of the situa-
ton. If he could not honestly argue for the
public he ought not to have argued the
question at ALL"
Between the morality OF Senator Cummins
and the morality Of Mr.. Brandeis, as dis
played in their difference on this very sub
ject, the ordinary man will have no difficulty
In making a choice. Mr.. Brandeis, repre-
senting tho commission and the whole people,
felt he should give IL commission his honest
conclusions from The evidence; Senator Cum
minis thfnks-and says-he should have con-
cealed these opinions.
Senator Cummins thinks the LAWYER should
be a narrow, biased and unfair partisan: Mr..
Brandeis believes tho lawyer especially when
he appears for the public, carries into the
con oversy a public trust, which is his high
est obligation. and which it would be an
Incredible meanness to betray.

You're fond of delaying

So stop all this drooling
And donkeyish fooling
And help Uncle Sam in this bout.
