One of the commOnest no
lions about Justice Hughes is
that he has a mind much like
that of President Wilson.
No judgment could be more
superficial, but. the reason
for. this notion Is not diff
cult to find.
Wilson and Hughes are
both q great contrast to
Roosevelt. Neither of them
Is very entertaining as u
newspaper figure.
Both of them are some
what withdrawn I'm their
personal lives. Both Of them
are men who seem to lay
great trust In their own con-
sciences. -
Neither of them seems to
have Roosevelt's wonderful
power Of working with all
sorts Of men.

A Ruthless ANALYST

Hughes Is a ruthless ANALYST,
next to Brandeis perhaps the
greatest in American life.
His thought is pregnant with
fact, with careful measurement,
with exact knowledge.
He is one of those men who can
take the most complicated situa-
ton, and in short time know
more about it than anyone else
who deals with 1t.
There is not one touch of lazi-
nes or evasion in his makeup.

"To their social iniquity they owe
their gardens, palaces, stables and

A RADICAL PROPHET
BY J. Stitt Wilson.

BY J. Stitt Wilson.
Ever hear of Amos? No? One of
the greatest radicals that ever lived,
a prophet of Israel, a mighty spOkes-
man for social justice, whose hot
words turned into bible? He was the
pioneer of that school of reformers
who attack great wrongs in the name
of the Lord.
Quite fitting is it for us to write.
of Amos on this editorial page. Re
nan, the noted French critic, said that
Amos was the first ''irTecOnciIable
journalist"
Picture a simple Italian peasant
dashing into st. Peters at Rome, or
a Middlesex gardener marching to
the altar rail at st. PaUls in Lon
don, or a rancher making down the
aisle to interrupt the preacher in one
of our fine American churches, and
you have the raw method Of this man
Amos. He confronted the priest at
the altar in the name Of the poor
and he only a herder, or, as some say,
a tree primer!
His words were as hot as flame. He
shot them out like arrows at a tar
get. And the robed dignitary at the
altar WINGED, for he was linked with
the wrong-doers; and he sent a mes
senger to the king to say that a
vile conspirator against the peace of
society was abroad.
