Compromise Agreement Reached.

compromise agreement was entered
into by those opposed and those favoring

yesterday without debate. but with pub
LEGATION of the vote and the reports of the
majority and of the minority of the judi
ciary committee
The minority report declared that twelve
charges against Mr.. Brandeis had been
sustained by the evidence and that in
ADDITION proof had been offered of the
Dad reputation of MIR. Brandeis among
the lawyers of the Boston bar The
charges referred to were in regard to the
D per cent advance rate case the Claws
Balhnger investigation, the Leunox bank
ruptcy case, United Shoe Machinery Com
pan% litigation. the Warren will case the
Illinois Central railroad proxy fight thu
New England railroad litigation the
Equitable Life Assurance Society agita-
ton, Massachusetts liquor legislation and
the United Drug Company merger.
Never before in the history of the
country has a man been appointed A
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States whose honesty and in
.egrity were seriously brought in ques-
ton, declared the minority. TT must
De evident 10 any thinking and un-
biased mind that this appointment has
resulted from something other than the
qualifications and fitness of the an
pointee for the office.
We regard it as great misfortune
and distinct lowering of the standard
heretofore maintained in making ap-
pointments to this high office that one
should be selected for the place whose
reputation for honesty and integrity
among his associates at the bar has
beeH proved to be bad, which reputa-
tion has been justified by his own
course of conduct We cannot consci-
entiously give our consent to the con-
nrmation of such an appointment"
Majority Defended Brandeis.
In the report of the majority Mr.
brande1s action in all the cases re-
ferred to by the minority was defend
ed II was recalled that Mr. Brandeis
would be the first able judge appoint
ed to the Supreme Court who had been
the object of bitter and unjust attack.
The worst that has been charged
against him pales into insignificance
the majority said. when compared
with what was publicly said about Mr.
Justice Matthews when his nomination
was under consideration; but later the
leading senators in opposition to him
relt forced to admit their mistake"
The majority held that the petitions
ana letters in support of Mr.. Bra ndeis,
and particularly from Boston, far out
weighed the opposition.
1T is easy to make charges" il said
and there is too much proof in this case
or preconcerted effort to weaken the
power of Mr.. Brandeis before the pub
lie to think of permitting insinuations
and innuendoes to take the place of
reasonable proof"
The new justice was bc:n sixty years
ago in Louisville. KY; graduated from
harvard University in 1877 and began
the practice of law in Boston after ad-
mission to the bar in 1875

1914 articles on all the different re-

Life in the Country

AAO al TIC SOunSIy
Is there any side of country life
which especially appeals to you? If
you like the outdoors purely for play,
you will find interesting articles in
the Britannica on Fishing, Hunting,
Shooting, Sailing, and all the other
outdoor games. If you are inter-
ested in agriculture, there is no end
to the things you need to know-and
up-to-date methods are important for
every farm, small as well as large.
The Britannica contains the best In
formation about every aspect of mod
ern farming, dairying, chicken rails
ing and no end of similar things.
The Householder Needs
If you are-or hope to be-the
owner of a home, there is no more
fascinating study than that of build
ing or charging a house. And it is
not a simple matter to know all about
ventilation, sanitation, heating and
the other essentials. But you can
turn to these subjects-and many
more, such as Rent, Insurance, Fire
prevention-and find all you want to
know in one set of books, the new
Britannica.
