BRANDEIS AND POLITICS

as was expected the tory
II press is generally amazed
at the appointment of
Louis D. Brandeis to the su-
preme court. They see impro-
priety in the naming of man
who has been a partisan of the
people in connection with big
subjects in litigation. They
would of course see no imprO-
priety at all had Brandeis been
attorney for large vested inter
ests or corporations having suits
before the supreme court. They
also attribute the appointment
to politics. They may be right
about that for no president
ever makes any important ap-
pointment without looking at
the political aspect of the mat
ter. But how much better
that the president of the United
States should be playing to the
people than to Wall street.
Whatever politics there may
be in the naming of Brandeis
it is plain President Wilson was
not trying to make a hit with
financial barons in order to in
duce them to contribute to a
campaign fund for his reelec.

MILLIONS IN 1T

cause Of outrageous shipping
charges during the war is
shown by some testimony be.
lore a federal court in New
York. 1t was testified that one
steamer line charged $50 per
head for transporting horses to
England and that in August
$4,000 head of horses were
handled, the freight charge
amounting to approximately
Sl,000,000. In the month of
April the company received
over a million for handling 90
900 head of horses.
1t goes without saying these
charges are out of all proper
ton to the service rendered
and the excessive rates are not
cue to war dangers because
with England in control of the
seas the danger of English
shipping has not been great.
The shipping combine has
had a rich field for plunder
and they have been making
the most of it. Inasmuch as a
comparatively few people con.

continue to impose exorbitant
charges just as long as permit
