Without knowing all the reasons
which governed him, it would be un
wise to criticise President Wilson fol
appointing Louis D. Brandeis to the
supreme court bench, although there
is little doubt that his selection in
preference to former President Taft
will be disappointment to major
ity Of the citizens of this country
Some time has elapsed in filling this
vacancy, and 1t may develop later that
the position was offered to Mr.. Taft
and declined by him, and it is posi-
BILE that other eminent lawyers re-
fused the nomination
Mr., Brandeis is acknowledged to be
a man of no little ability, but he is
also recognized as a gentleman of
strong socialistic tendencies, and it
would not be surprising if at heart
he was not more of socialist than
a democrat.
His appointment to the supreme
court bench will have the effect up
on those connected with. the railroads
and some other large interests, of
waving red rag at bull, for the
reason he is ultra radical.
o fcourse he may not take these
'rejudices with him upon the bench,
tut this has yet to be proved.
Possibly his selection by President
Wilson is the executives answer to
he recent Roosevelt dinner given by
Judge Gary.

did right In opposing measures that
are wrong In principle and will prove
disastrous to the Industrial develop
ment of the west. And the worst fea-
ture of these proposed laws, and which
received merited condemnation at the
hands Of the mining association is
that which in the practical operation
of the laws allows the widest latitude
to the bureau chiefs in Washington to
formulate regulations In connection
with their administration. Past ex-
perience has shown that the tendency
of these bureaus Is to exercise this
authority to an extent that In great
measure supplants the laws them
selves. This Is repugnant to our sys-
tenn of government even when exercis-
ed to enforce system that is right,
but when applied to system that is
wrong itself, then 1t becomes doubly
offensive and will not long be tolerat-
ed by a free people.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS PER.

great capitals of Europe, is reported
on his way home after visiting Berlin
Does the government of the United
States pay salaries to these special
commissioners sent out by the presi-
dent and also a liberal expense ac-
count? Why is it necessary to send a
personal representative of the presi-
dent to England, France, Germany and
Austria where the government is rep
resented by ambassadors with princely
salaries and allowances and whose
business 1t is to keep the president in
formed on all matters which are of
concern to this government? There
may be times when personal repre-
sentatives of the president may be me-
cessary in our dealings with foreign
countries, but If there is a necessity in
this case the people would like to be
shown. 1t would seem that in coun-
tries where we have duly accredited
ambassadors or ministers, with a con-
sui in every town of Importance, we
should be able to get along without
special commissioners. If we are not.

HUGHES AND THE PRESIDENCY.

1t nows appears that Justice Hughes
is going to be proof against the press
ure that is being exerted to drag him
into the presidential contest, and the
prediction Is now made that should
the republican national convention
tender him the nomination. he would
decline IT, The attitude taken by JUS
tice Hughes is one that commends it,
self to thoughtful people. Though re-
moved from the glamor and glare that
surround the presidency, the supreme
court of the United States In reality
occupies more exalted position than
the presidency. The power of the SUI
preme court Is so great and far-reach-
ing that from the beginning of the
government 1t has been the accepted
rule that he who Is honored by being
made member of Ii by that act
abandons all political aspirations and
forgets party divisions. The supreme
court is the last resort of the people in
determining questions of law In which
their happiness and prosperity are in
volved. 1t Is obvious that a court
clothed with such vital powers should
be free from partisan bias and remov-
ed from the political atmosphere which
so often influence official action. Jus
tice Hughes evidently believes that the
rule that has prevailed heretofore that
has kept the supreme court free from
political influence is good one, ard
we believe he is strong enough to push
back the crown If 1t is offered to him.

A TEST TO WILSON'S LEADER
SHIP.


BY appealing the controversy to the
people, or rather to the democratic
masses, the president has greatly mag
nified the consequences OF defeat on
the challenge III defeat should come
to him. His force of leadership would
be well-nigh destroyed, and certainly
so much impaired as to make it
doubtful If he would accept renomina-
ton. And even If his preparedness
program should go through congress,
but with a majority of the democrats
dissenting it would seem questionable
II the president could feel that he
ought to accept the denomination of
party which had, in a matter which
he had held up as of oyershadowing
Importance, constructively expressed a
want of confidence in his judgment
He has never neglected an opportunity
to declare that, in his conception, the
president Is, both of right and neces-
sity, the actual as well as the titular
leader of his party. 1t would seem to
follow as a sort of corollary that a
president ought not to accept renomin
alton from his party when that party
has shown that 1t is unable to accept
his leadership in matter of such
cardinal moment. Something more
than a question of totals in the army
and navy appropriations seems in
volved in this issue. The contest af-
fords an opportunity, both within and
without the party, to administer to the
president a blow that, if accomplished,
would probably settle the question Of
his denomination, and that is the rea
son, doubtless, that his first addresses
have taken on the fighting note as de-
scribed in the dispatches.

THE SOUTH AND PROTECTION.
Manufacturers Record)

This country is, at heart, for protec-
ton. Upon the question of protection
as one of the fundamental issues OF
the day will be fought the next great
political campaign.
| The business men of the south, the
leaders in cotton manufacturing, In
iron and steel making, in lumber, In
coal, and iron ore mining, and in many
other lines of the mineral industry, the
sugar producers, the rice and the pea
nut growers, the men in the shop and
foundry, the men who have learned
how false are the claims of the free
traders, are all for protection.
If southern politicians ignore these
facts and keep on playing with their
wornout theories of free trade, they
will have no one but themselves to
blame for their overwhelming newt
able defeat.
The many people of the south who
are protectionists at heart owe it to
themselves and to the welfare of their
country to meet the issue squarely and
no longer be held in bondage by the
politicians.
Intellectual slavery is worse than
physical slavery.
Tens of thousands of the most intel
ligent men of the south who are bear
ing the burden of southern develop
ment and leading this section on to
higher grounds of prosperity know that
there never was time when protection
was more needed than it will be the
day Europe's war ends.
There are many evidences that the
realizes this and would
seek way to meet the situation. The
straight open way is to admit the
failure of the present tariff and to
show that present conditions justify |

ton of large amount of high grade

Consular Report)
The visitor from the United States
can not fail to be impressed with the
absence of flies in Havana. A fly is
real rarity-so Is mosquito. The
absence of these pests is simply the
result of municipal cleanliness and
care.
Illustrating the general understand
ing of the necessity to watch out for
breeding sources, Mounted Officer Pc
dro Sierra reported November 80 to
the chief of sanitation, that he had OBJ
served plant in the vedado (residen-
tial district) that was apparently a
source of flies The plant has a fruit
resembling a fig, in which, Sierra as
serts, larvae are to be found. He con-
Quoted some experiments himself, be-
coming convinced that the plant at
forded breeding place for the pests;
then he so reported. If the expert
ments of the department of sanitation
confirm him, undoubtedly an order
will be issued for the destruction of
all such plants in and around Havana,
and incidentally, officer Sierra will be
rewarded.
There is no need for fly-swatting
around the clean capital of
Cuba. The sanitarians make flies an
impossibility and confirm absolutely
the doctrine that municipal cleanliness

question, present in many minds, has
been put in direct and brief fashion
into words:
Why is it that the self -avowed

kind, who glories in preparedness and
is strenuous in defense of militarism
at the front, or German end, of his
hyphen, is so bitterly opposed to pre-
paredness and so terribly afraid of

can end, of the same hyphen?
If, contrary to our knowledge and
belief, this question has been plainly
