Observation-Disclosures
If the gentlemen who oppose Mr..
Brandeis had to explain their reas-
ons to their God, they would want
to say, we believe, that they have
worked to protect the Supreme
Court of the United States, that their
highest consideration, and their only
one, was to conserve a great instltu-
ton. They would resent the sug
gestion that Mr.. Brandeis has won
the enemies he has because he Great
ed popular insurance, because with
out fee and at great personal sacri-
flee he criticized great monopoly,
because he prophesied with terrible
accuracy rottenness in railroad
management, because he fought the
great rate cases, because he revealed
a conspiracy on the part of President
Taft and two members of his cab
met to deceive the American public,
because he raised the class struggle
in an anarchic industry to the plane
of civilized adjustment, because he
invented new and compelling
method of arguing constitutional
cases, because he criticized the con-
centration of credit, because he re-
sisted industrially wasteful methods
of combination through banker man
agement and the interlocking direct
crate, because he recognized the
value of trade unionism. The gentle
men who oppose Mr.. Brandeis will
tell you it is not because of these
things that they oppose him. True,
these activities of his have often chit
them where they live" but no selfish
interest, no class feeling, no caste
feeling has for one moment clouded
their impartial Judgment. 1t is mere
1y question of professional integ
rity with them. They are not against
Mr.. Brandeis because he is, as Mr..
Arthur Hill said, "a radical, an out
slider and a Jew" Not for mo-
ment Such thoughts have never
stained their minds. They are
against him for the reasons stated in
Mr.. Austen FOX's brief.
They have discovered that for
some unaccountable reason Mr..
Brandeis has mania for betrayal.
1t is unaccountable because this

mania runs against all the usual mo-
tives for betrayal. We are acquaint-
ed with the man who sells out his
client or deserts a cause in order to
make money or gain social PRESTIGE
But here is mailman who sacrifices
his best clients, who faces ostracism,
who accepts relentless enmities, who
yields money, power, place, just be-
cause he has .lunatic desire to be-
tray his clients. Here is a man who
gives up big fees to work for small
ones, who gives up large retainers
in order to work gratis, who gives
up endless opportunity in order to
spend twenty-five thousand dollars
OF his own money to expose the New
Haven railroad. Clearly this man is
not only dishonest, he is mad, and
the Supreme Court must be protect
ed against him.
Tnhappilv the mass of the Am
erican people would draw a different
conclusion from the defeat OF Mr.
Brandeis. They would not feel that
the Court had been protected. They
would feel and they would say that
the agitators are right, that a liberal
who has faced the music cannot be
appointed to the Court. All those
who have believed in the recall of
Judges would say that here is proof
positive of what they have asserted.
They would read into it a demon
stration that only the tried friend of
wealth and power can reach that
Court, they would say with that hu-
man crudity which is so dep1orable,
that Mr.. Brandeis was beaten be-
cause he is the greatest living Am
erican engaged in curbing the rich
and the powerful.
SO in sense the Court would not
be protected, the confidence of the
people would be shaken to the
depths. Their confidence in it would
be less than it has ever been since the
bred Scott decision. These gentle
men opposing Mr.. Brandeis, from
the highest motives, would if they
succeeded inflict irreparable damage
on the institution they wish to pro-
tect. If only they had some vision
they would see that the charges

by the sheer excess of over-state-
ment, that even the Republican min
GRITTY has turned away in disgust from
that brief of Mr.. Fox's which is 50
obviously actuated by will to be-
lieve the worst. They would see
that the organized propaganda, the
yelled insinuations, the malicious
gossip are proof of their prejudice
against him. If they had any vision,
they would know that the presence
of Mr. Brandeis on the Supreme
Court would instantly restore popu-
lar confidence in it, would instantly
silence those who regard it as bull
wark against democracy, would give
the lie to those who say that the
humblest are not represented in the
highest tribunal.
If their reckless campaign succeed
3D. what would they heEe done?
Would they have ruined and silenced
Brandeis? They would have made
him the leader of American liberal
ism. Indeed there are many radicals
who hope he will not be confirmed,
because they wish once and for all
to destroy respect for the court, be-
cause they want his superb abilities
employed not to interpret and
strengthen the law, but to formulate
and lead an insurgent democracy.
Defeat him and you give us a
hero is the inner conviction Of
these radicals. They are right. Mr..
Brandeis would be the man he has
always been, sane, constructive.
careful and sure But where he had
a few followers, he would have
many For when man has reached
his emlnence, even the highest Judi
clal office can add little to his fame.
The denial of that office would raise
him, without effort on his part and
without desire on his part, to popu
lar leadership. There is deep truth
in the statement of one of the most
important officials in the govern
ment, who said that the Court needs
Brandeis now more than he needs it.

$40, 900 Plant at Swanton.

At an adjourned village meeting in
Swanton it was voted TO develop the
Highgate power to the extent of a 900
horsepower unit, which will cost ap-
proXimately $55. 900. This means that a
new power house will be erected at the
foot of the rapids where the fall is
very much greater than at the present
plant, which is located near the dam.
This step has become necessary owing
to the constantly increasing demand for
electricity for both lighting and motor
purposes. The blasting for the new
pcnStock will begin at once and it is
expected the new plant will be in opera
tion ny next May. This work will cost
around $4,000, so that the total cost of
development for Swanton S new hydro
electric plant will be around $4,000
