Difference In Supreme Court
And Presidential Chair

Each day Chief Justice Hughes is
thrown into stronger relief against the
background of Mr.. Roosevelt's lowering
shadow, but, in spite of this fact, there is
still much opposition to Mr. Hughes
The Old Guard of the Republican party
does not want Hughes, for one thing. The
Republican national organization needs
wTecking, and Hughes is just the man to
wreck it. The Old Guard knows this, and
will according to these lights.
Mr.. Roosevelt does not want Mr..
Hughes. This is very natural, since it
would mean the end of Roosevelt's po1iti-
cal career. And as being a terrible foe is
one of Teddy's most striking character
istics, the Republicans cannot look for
much from that quarter.
Thousands of thoughtful Republicans
do not want Mr.. Hughes, because he is a
justice of the supreme court, and they do
not believe that this position should be
placed on the plane of partisan politics.
Mr.. Hughes is an able jurist, but he Is
not the man for the presidency of the
United States.
He is Republican, but it must be re-
menbered that to be a Republican today
does not mean what it meant decade ago.
There are many kinds of Republicans and
Mr.. Hughes has not come out in the open
to say just what kind of a Republican he is.
He has given his attention very closely to
his profession.
He has not sought the office. The
office seems to be seeking him, and in
many ways Chief Justice Hughes is emf
nently fitted for the office In other ways,
he Is prominently untitled.
It is doubtful if Mr. Hughes, who has
given his attention so closely and con-
scientiously to the pursuit of his profess
sion, the proprieties Of which preclude dis
cussion in the public print of the issues
which are at this time of such primary i'm
portance to the country, would fill the
presidential chair as ably as he has the
supreme court bench

Harry S. Stokes
a MARTYR LAWYER

The name of Harry S. Stokes, a lawyer
of Nashville, Tenn, should go down in
history along with those of the nations
most illustrious martyrs. Stokes was shot
to death by an opposing lawyer in the tax
payers suit which Stokes ms tituted at his
own expense in an effort to recover some
of the peoples money which was stolen,
it is charged, by grafters under the regime
of Mayor Howse.
Those who doubted Stokes sincerity in
his fight for clean government of his city
can no longer doubt it since the probating
of his will revealed the fact that he be-
bequeathed $4,000 to his legal associates
to be used in carrying on the fight Stokes
had spent some $4,000 of his own money
carrying on the battles which resulted in
the custer of Mayor Hilary Howse a d
his associates
In the event the city hall cases
are undetermined when my death
occurs" says the will, ri desire my
executors to furnish my associates a
sum of money not to exceed $4,000,
andt money shall be expended by
them as they deem best
Further, he specified, the bequest
was to be used in "the cause of good
government in Nashville"
In order to protect his family, Stokes
took out life and accident insurance policies
tota1ling $160,000 Some of the companies
cancelled the policies he carried because of
the extreme danger he was in of violent
death. Yet this man did not bulge an inch
from his purpose until the sudden death for
which he had prepared cut him off and
showed the people what his efforts had
meant to them
Would that there were more lawyers like
Harry S. Stokes, fighting for the cause of
the people without recompense and despite
the threats of assassination

Brandeis Enemies Are Afraid
OF His Hostility to Wrong

The enemies of Mr. Brandeis are deter

enemy to wrong in high places, and hostile

career of Mr.. Brandeis arr doing so because
they fear his honesty Of purpose and that
hostility to wrong-doers L. the seats OF the
mighty, which he has so repeatedly shown.
The fact is known to them that he IS
lyffher enemy to those who seek to build up
fortunes on the wrecked lives of others; but
a frJszd to those who are weak and who
need the help OF the strong. He has given
his time and his efforts to the poor as well
as the rich. and has asked for these services
no resurn in money, but has been satisfied
with the fact that he has been able to assist
fellow being.

friend, who did not ask so much. "How
much have you gpt?' as he did, what do

He has lived to serve, and he has served
well. But he has not served the Wall
Street magnates nor the monopolies well.
And for this reason they have aligned them
selves against him and have sought his de-

him out of many for the very qualities

Rushing to the Altar
Results In Many Divorces

Tn one case out of every four, in divorce
actions in Massachusetts, last year, the
plaintiff blamed hasty decision to marry
as the canse of all the trouble In only
one case out of every nine heard In the di-
vorce court was irtemperance included in
charges.
From this we gather that drunken hus-
bands are going out of style, and that the
old Bay State needs a law that will tend to
check the mad rush to the altar.
Inmany states one may not marry on the
day the license is issued: This is a good
law.
How many marriage pacts are made in
a casual way we do not know; but we do
know that many woman has tied herself
to husband whom she wouldn't consider
seriously if she gave the matter calm and
temperate thought
And we know many a man who has had
a sudden rush of love to the head Greatly
terribly common malady) and has hur-
ried his fair Inamorata off to an obliging
parson or an cver-ready justice of the
peace.
The starry-eyed one murnurs yes"
whilst she takes swift survey of her be-
loved's wallet from which he extracts the
marriage fee.
And the happy bridegroom, enjoying
what the novelists call the Supreme Mo
ment, shutters yes" and the game is onl
This marriage business is a serious
affair
But you'd never realize it if you listen
ed to the testimony in divorce suits and
learned how easy it is to take the plunge!
Many man and woman has decided it
thus: We'll, honey, will we go to the
movies this afternoon or get married.
