many years. Money she was TO IN
berit he invested in Kansas railroad
bonds that declined to 10 cents on
the dollar, and she sued him to make
good.
Suspicion was a large part OF her
nature. When engaged in this liu-
CATION in New Bedford she would not
trust a living soul even to COOK ner
feed. She bought apples at the cor
ner grocery, selected her own eggs,
cooked them herself and, absolutely

litical field as no other woman had
ever looked over it before. Then en-

England river while the political
war bosses in Massachusetts, were
sparring for position. Here, what
do you mean. Mrs. Green?" said a
New England multi-millionaire who
had his paper mills below on the riv-
er. "Are you going to build a fac
tory?"
mot at present" said Mrs. Green,
az am just building a dam and it will
take some time to float water behind
that dam
81 guess it WILL said the large
manufacturer. Why, Mrs. Green,
do you know that if you build that
dam and hold back that water, my
mills must be idle all summer? I
will buy your dam and your water
rights"
mo-" said Hetty, 81 must hold my
water rights; you hold my political
rights. l cannot vote; but you men
can make the politics in the Repub-
lican party of Massachusetts. You
are planning to nominate W. w.
Grape for governor and a nomina-
ton is equivalent to an election"
well, what of that?" said the
manufacturer
"only this, that you are the one
man in Massachusetts, that can pre-
vent it, and if you don't your paper
mills will dry UP this summer at
least. I am only a poor lone woman
with no political voice, but / know
my relative is no proper business

RAY STANDARD BAKER CON.
SIDERS BRAN0ElS INQUIRY
AS AN 0LO-FASHIONED
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 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, as it 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-percent rate case ia more
or less typical of the charges brought
against Mr.. Brandeis and raises the
question squarely as to whether ii is
really a heresy for a lawyer to be hon
est with judges. commissions and the
Ia ha All ~,
the public aspects of the problems
which are presented to him? Shall
lawyer seek justice and truth. or shall
he be honest only with clients who
pay him for it?"
"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
err course which Is often so difficult
complex and dangerous to follow"
Il have called the senate inquiry a
heresy trial; but Mr. Brandeis Is
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 profes
sion makes It's members always seek
ers for the truth of the matter, always
as eager to secure justice as to win
case"
1T seems to the layman that the de.
sire to arrive at the truth In every
cause presented. which has been SO
clearly the characteristic OF MIR. 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"
