THE MONEY VALUE OF A BABY


Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale testified
before the committee on social well
fare in the state house at Boston last
week that the value Of baby is $50
and an adult $4,000
This statement is in violence with
the decision of Justice Gummere. That
distinguished Persey jurist declared a
child was not an asset but liability
In the softness of his heart, however
and in order that the costs in the case
might not fall on the parents whose
child had been killed, he struggled with
his conscience until he could steel him.
self to placing a 81 tag on childhood
Why he went so high, when SOC would
have carried costs never has been ex-
planned.
Ninety dollars the value ola baby
Nonsense.
What does statistician like Irving
Fisher know Of the worth of a gift Of
God?
How can we measure with the dross
we call money that miracle of mira
cles-a human soul in the time of its
dawn-of innocence, of helplessness
and of tenderest appeal?
There never was child that came
upon earth whose smile and whose
coo were not worth thousand times
ninety dollars to some one of Gods
creatures.
Money value to a baby! Well val
bue the human heart. What crown SC
precious or so wondrous as the crown
of motherhood?
Money value to a baby? Who but
warped jurist or a statistician would
dare to value that without which all
the light would go out of life, poetry
would die, love would wither and the
spirit of the universe would be lost.

RAY STANDARD BAKER CON-
SIDERS BRANDElS INQUIRY
AS AN 0LD-FASHI0NED
HERESY TRIAL.

In the Springfield (Mass.) Repub-
lican. in the course Of detailed analy.
sis OF the hearing regarding Mr.. Bran.
deis' fitness for appointment to the su'
preme court, Ray Stannard Baker
writes:
Il confess that q layman finds him.
self somewhat puzzled as to what Is
the real view among lawyers them.
selves concerning the conduct proper
to lawyer and prospective Judge like
Mr.. Brandeis. Two widely different,
and, asst seems to the layman. contra.
dictory views appear to prevail among
them. Indeed, the inquiry at Wash.
ington has sometimes seemed to the
observer like an old-fashioned heresy
trial with good and honorable men dis.
putting doctrinal points and with Mr.
Brandeis himself as the charged here
tic"
"A few OF the high priests OF the
legal profession have appeared to op
pose Mr.. Brandeis: others, like the
faculty OF the Harvard law school. who
know him well, have appeared to sup
port and commend him- Are these
professors heretical too?'
The five-per-cent rate case Is more
or less typical of the charges brought
against Mr., Brandels and raises the
question. squarely as to whether II is
really heresy for a lawyer to be hon.
est with Judges. commissions and the
public. Must lawyer be oblivious to
the public aspects a the problems
which are presented 70 him. Shall .
lawyer seek justice and truth, or shall
he be honest only with clients who
pay him for 1t 7"
"A careful investigation Of all the
cases presented at the Brandeis In.
quiry can be shown. think. to turn
upon this vital difference in view as
to the lawyers real Job; and that Mr.
Brandeis' method was to take the
higher course-as he saw 1.-THE high
er course which is often so difficult
complex and dangerous to follow"
Il have called the senate inquiry q
heresy trial; but Mr.. Brandeis is q
hereto only as regards what seems to
be certain twisted and contorted con
ceptions OF the duty Of the lawyer.
The nobler vision Of the legal PROBES
sion makes its members always seek
ers for the truth Of the matter. always
as eager to secure justice as to win
q case"
1T seems to the layman that the de-
sire to arrive at the truth in every
cause presented. which has been 50
clearly the characteristic Of Mr.. Bran
deis' method, Is the very essence of the
judicial temperament and furnishes
the soundest possible reason why he
should be confirmed. A man with his
peculiar kind of heresy is the best
kind OF man in the high court OF the
nation"

THE LIFE THAT COUNTS

The life that counts must toilandfight;
Must hate the wrong and love theright
Must stand for truth by day by night,
That is the life that counts.
The life that counts must aim to rise
Above the earth TO sunlit skies,
Must fix his gaze on Paradise
That is the life that counts.
The life that counts must hopeful be,
In darkest night make melody,
Must wait the dawn on Bonded knee
That is the life that counts.
The life that counts must helpful be,
The cares and needs of others to see,
Must seek the slave Of sin to free /.
That is the life that counts.
The life that counts is linked with God
And turns not from the cross, the rod.
But walks with joy where Jesus trod-
That is the life that counts.
