Louis D. Brandeis, Boston Lawyer,
Named for Supreme Court Bench

Washington, d. C.-President Will
son Saturday sent to the senate the
nomination of Louis d. Brandeis, law
yer, Of Boston, to be associate justice
Of the Supreme court in succession to
the late Justice Lamar. The nomina.
tion was complete surprise in official
circles. Mr.. Brandeis' name had not
been mentioned publicly in connection
with the place.
MIR. Brandeis has been in the public
eye for some years as prolific writer
on economic topics and for his connec-
tion with labor and trust legislation.
He attained some prominence six
years ago as attorney for the interests
which sought the removal from office
of Secretary Ballinger in the noted
Pinchot Ballinger controversy. He
was counsel later on for the shippers
who opposed the general increases in
freight rates before the Interstate
commerce commission, and during the
same period he was at the forefront Of
those who were demanding an investi-
cation of the financial affairs of the
New Haven railroads.
Mr.. Brandeis represented the Ore
gon Industrial Welfare commission
last year in the case of 0'Hara vs..
Stettler, in the United States Supreme
court, giving the oral argument and
preparing one of the briefs. The case
is still pending in the court. Several
years ago Judge Brandeis appeared be-
fore the Supreme court in the same
capacity in the interest of the Oregon
l0-hour law. In this case he appeared
as counsel for Illinois and Ohio as
we'll. He was, in 1910, chairman Of
the board of arbitration which settled
the New York garment workers
strike.

Opportunities Of the Horse Breeder In
the Northwest.

About the professional horse breed
er I shall have little to say. He is
abundantly able to take care of him
self and, If he is as foresighted as he
should be he will profit by the i'm
pending conditions which will soon
make horse breeding one of the most
profitable phases of animal husbandry
in this country.
Henry Ford and the European war
conditions have completely changed
the aspect of the horse business in
this countryside first by putting the
Door horse out of business and the
second by practically cleaning the
country Of the lighter and less useful
farm horses and both in causing con-
ditions which make for the advantage
of the drafter.
More than any other country the
United States is q user of agricultural
machinery and, as our machines have
become heavier and more complicated
we have suffered from lack of farm
power. Motors will not supply this
lack as they are yet too expensive
both in cost and operation and they
do not supply the mobility of power af
forded by the horse and needed by
the farmer.
The reason for this lack Of power
is not far to seek. 1t has been the
long continued and almost universal
practice for farmers to breed theil
mares to the nearest stallion regard
less Of breed or type but, all the time
very regardful of the size of the serv
ice fee. Too often the farmer will
breed his mares to Percheron one
| year, a Clyde or Shire the next and
then to standard bred, a Morgan Of
a grade the next with the result tha
he has all kinds and types of horses
on his farm at the same time.
The raising of pure bred draf
horses on the farm should now offe
greater opportunities than ever be
| fore. mention the drafter particular
| ly because he is the only kind for th'
farmer and his market for his surplus
animals.
Never breed a mare to a stallion
that is not Of her own breed ant
never, under any circumstances, us
stallion that is not better than tn
mare Good draft horses are just a
essential as good seed or good ma
chinery and the foals from pure bre'
parents are worth at least double an
other kind. And then feed. Draf
horses cannot be made without feed
Push the colt from three weeks t
three years, give him plenty Of ope
air and exercise, and he will pay yo
as we'll as anything on the farm.-L I

islands.
Washington, D. C.-Until it is de-
cided whether the German commander
aboard the British steamer Appam
brought the ship to an American port
as a prize of war or as a converted
auxiliary cruiser of the German navy,
there will be no determination Of the
American governments course re
specting the ship.
When certain formalities have beer
complied with, the ships passengers
including several British colonial off
cials, will be released and their dis
position passed on by immigration au-
thorities. Any prisoner Of war will
be- released, because international Law
permits no holding Of war prisoners ii

The United States then finally will
have to deal with the German crew
and If they are accounted in nava
service of Germany, as were the crewl
of the Prinz Eitel Frederick and thu

at the Norfolk navy yard, they, too
will be interned unless their ship goel

Senator BOrah,s Folly.

Senator Borah is busily stirring up in.
PREVENTION sentiment in the innammable
circles at Washington. He puts forth
the rather ingenious plea that interven.
ton would make Mr.. Wilson a war presi-
dent and increase his chances of re-elee-
ton. The simple truth is that Mexico
viii never re-elect Wilson either through
war or peace. And Senator Borah knows
this when he makes his apparently UNI
selfish plea.
The president did well in recognizing
Carranza; but, like the British in the
Balkans. he was too late. Huerta would
have made just as good a subject Of rec
IGNITION; but in the days of Huerta,
President Wilson's international con
science was evidently more sensitive.
Wilson's election Of Carranza was the
right principle applied too late.
This fact is now pretty generally un-
derstood among intelligent people. Pres
ident Wilson's political reputation as the
peaceful paciier Of Mexico is lame and
creaking az best. But what If he now
tried interventioni Would that, a. Sen
ator Borah suggests, improve his stand
ing politically Would IT, in any con-
ceivable way. make him more desirable.
or more deserving Of confdencef We
