Possibly it was President Wilson's
intention to break in this case all Of
the precedents which have determined
IN the past the choice of members OF
the Supreme Court. Perhaps he de
sired 10 try the experiment of infus-
ing into the court the type Of mind
ana Of legal temperament which other
Presidents have successfully endeav-
ored 10 avoid in making their selec-
tons Perhaps he has been looking
for ability Of one sort instead OF sta
bility of the other sort. Perhaps he
wanted TO weaken the bench instead
of Strengthening It; that rs. weaken
u from the point of view 20 which we
have all become accustomed
Perhaps. again Mr.. Wilson. in &C
cordance with hrs sometimes singular
methods Of reaching a given result
had no other purpose than TO test the

The Times.

I'm so far as Mr.. Brandeis's beliefs
may have inclined him toward radical
ism we must expect the record OF HIS
career 20 be most attentlvely Scru-
tinted in the Senate. We do not know
that he might. with any degree OF JUS
tice. be called radical. lie has been
an advocate Of causes and policies. now

ago were believed 30 be highly popu-
Oar. He has had his part IN some gov
eminent undertakings. entered upon
v hen those policies were supposed 10
b. popular. that have come 20 failure
with some theories Of Federal duty and
activity which have been proved to be,
in fact. ill-iudged and harmful.
These considerations Will play their
part when the Senate takes up the
name Of Mr.. BrandeiS IL is comph-
ment TO him that there 5 likely 20 be
a struggle
