Free I'm Criticism.
Critics OF President Wilson for Sc
lecting Mr.. Brandeis pointed out today
that Mr. Brandeis has been free to
criticize decisions of that tribunal and,
in addition. has uttered or written
vigorously his views on a majority of
issues which may be before the court.

holding the right Of retailers to cut
the prices Of goods which had been
'trade-marked." copyrighted or pat

Interpreted the patent and copyright
acts, and declared that they do not
confer any such special privileges.
But when the court denied the valid
ity of contracts for price maintenance
OF trade-marked goods, 1t decided
very differeRt matter. 1t did not
rest its decision upon Interpretation
of statute, for there Is no statute
which in terms prohibits price main
tenance. or, indeed. deals directly,
with the subject. 1t did not refuse
TO grant special privilege to GER

mon right to all producers. Nor does
the decision of the court proceed upon
any fundamental or technical rule of
law. The decision rests upon gener-
al reasoning as to public policy. and
that reasoning is largely from anal
ogy.

question then involved is no longer
one for lawyers only
During the last presidential cam
paign 1t was further urged by these
critics, Mr. Brandeis complained
about the Interpretation of the laws
by the court. He supported Presi-
dent Wilson, and in his speeches he
made frequent references to the Sher-
man antitrust law and the issue
between capital and labor. Editorial
comment In The Outlook regarding
Mr.. Brandeis was to this effect:
In Tho Outlook.
He holds that there ought to be
a measure of equality between the
labor organization ana the capital
lists organization in their struggle the
one with the other. and undertakes
to show that the whole tendency of
combination in. business enterprises
is to destroy the labor unions. He
says that the laws. on account OF
the Interpretation of the courts, can
not adequately protect the 1aborers."
Mr.. Brandeis made a statement to-
night that might be taken as an in
dication of the course he purposes
following if his nomination Is rati-
fed by the Senate,
In answer to a question inquiring to
the mental attitude he will approach
the problems which will come before
him. he said;
The best answer to that question
can be found in my book, Other Peo-
pies Money"
To what particular passage in the
book he referred, MFR. Brandeis smtl-
ingly refused to say.

II was on one OF these silent visits

hay he was sure that he had seen

he saw two eggs there. He might
not have noticed them but for the
fact that a hen bad jumped down
from that box, making terrible
fuss. She didn't seem frightened,
but terribly proud. What under the
sun she had TO be proud about.
Blacky couldn't understand, but he
didn't stay TO find out The noise

wings and few away as silently as
he had come.
II was as he was flying away that
he saw those eggs. You see, as he
rose into the air he managed to
pass that open door in such way
that he could glance in. That one
glance was enough. You know
Dlacky's eyes are very sharp. He
saw the hay in the box and the two
eggs in the hay. and that swas

Blacky the Grow began To scheme

else 20 without II you come right
down 10 plain everyday truth
suppose Blacky isn't 40 far wrong
when he insists THAT he Is no more
of thief than Farmer Browns boy.
y Blacky says that the eggs which
the hens lay belong TO the hens and
that he. Blacky. has just as much
right 10 take them as has Farmer
Browns boy. He quite overlooks
the fact that Farmer Browns boy
feeds the biddies and takes the eggs
as pay. Anyway, that is what
Farmer Browns boy says. but | do
not know whether or not the bid
dies understand II that way.
So Blacky the Crow cannot see
why he should not help himself TO
an egg when he gets the chance.
He doesn't get the chance very
often TO steal eggs from the hens,
because usually they lay their eggs
in the henhouse, and Blacky is too
suspicious 10 venture irside. The
eggs he does get are mostly those
OF his neighbors in the Green For
est and the Old Orchard. But once
in great while some foolish hen
will make nest outside the hen
house somewhere, End IL Blacky
happens TO find II the black scamp
watches every minute he can spare
from other mischief for a chance To
steal an egg.
Now, Blacky knows just what q
rogue Farmer Brown thinks he is,
and for this reason Blacky Is very
careful about approaching Farmer
Brown or any other man until he
has made sure that he rims no risk
Of being shot. Blacky knows quite
as well as any one what gun

often will fly right over him and

Farmer Browns boy insists that he
has seen Blacky wink when he was

But Blacky doesn't do anything
of this kind around the buildings OF
Farmer Brown. You see he has
learned that there are doors In
buildings and windows, and out OF
one OF these terrible gun may
bang at any time. SO though he
has suspected that whatever Farm
or Browns boy would have once
