WHAT CAN THE LAW DO HERE?

There are some wrongs in this world which are too complicated

Louis ) Brandeis has been named by President Wilson for one
OF the Federal Judges, and now there is a row on as to his confr-
nation, and before the appointment is confirmed, if it ever is,
there is likely to be considerable friction. Mr.. Brandeis is an able
attorney, but just what experience he has had to qualify him for
the position is unknown to us at this time. In the past MI. Bran
dGs has been somewhat antagonistic, to the railroad interests, and
the main objection to his appointment seems to come from that
source: If he has the proper qualifications we do not believe that
the railroads or any other particular class should have it in their
power to say whether he shall be judge or not. A Federal judge
IS supposed to be a representative of all the people and woe to the
day, when a handful of corporation men can dictate as to who
shall sit on the bench of our highest courts. When that time
comes, we may look for a revolutionary uprising.
~ notice in tn. list Of names recommended by the State Re
ton, that of James Mccormick of this county. We believe that
this is a good selection. MI. Mccormick has shown himself in the
past to be a Republican at all times. He is a fair minded man
and one in whom the people repose confidence. While he may not
have always agreed with everything the party has done, neverthe-
that al al differences ds a of his party should be adjusted within the par
the National Republican convention.
