demonstrated the plratical character
Of Germany's treatment Of the mer-

A New Lord Chancellor Of England

When the late EBESEzER RoCKwoop
HoAR-Attorney-General in President
GRANTS first Cablnet-was on the
bench Of the Supreme judicial Court
of Massachusetts a saying was cur.
rent among the Boston lawyers to the
effect that Judge HoAR was never
thoroughly content with a judgment
which he had rendered unless It gave
grave dissatisfaction to both sides.
This anecdote is recalled by the
loud protests voiced by the English
press of all parties against the selec-
tons made by Mr.. DAVID LLOYD
GEORGE for the new Ministry which
it becomes his duty to appoint as the
result Of his great political victory at
the recent general election. The ap-
pointments generally are denounced
as disappointing, although we are not
told precisely what was expected by
the critics, except that they deplore
the lack Of new blood" In the men,
bership of the Cabinet.
The promotion Of Sir Frederick +.
SMITH, Attorney-General, to be Lord
High Chancellor Of England has
aroused degree Of criticism which is
unprecedented in modern times In the
case Of this high Office. The Chancel-
lorship has occasionally gone to men
whose subsequent career was dlsap-
pointing; but we can recall no recent
instance In which the professional
qualifications Of the appointee we're
questioned by his brethren at the bar
on the occasion of his appointment.
The London Times, however, pub
fishes q statement from Its legal cor
respondent declaring that Sir FRED
ERIcK SMITH as Acknowledgement has
mlsmanaged his cases for the Govern
ment in the Prize Court, that he is too
frequently an unfortunate example of
the lawyer In a hurry" and that he
possesses fatal fluency In thought
and speech which tends to defeat his
natural abilities.
This is serious indictment OF his
fitness for one OF the most dignlfled
and important positions in the Brit
tsh Empire. 1t Is remarkable fact
that although permanency of tenure
IL n characteristic OF the English Judi
cial system as a whole. the Lord
Chancellor. the highest judicial Officer
In the kingdom. comes into Office and
goes out with the political Ministry
to which he belongs. President
LOWELL of Harvard University, in his
admirable work on the Government Of
England, says the Lord Chancellor is
tho only great officer of state who has
retained his ancient rights and who
defies the doctrine OF the separation
OF powers more than any other per-
sonage on earth. lie Is a Judge, no
Is the presiding officer Of the House
Of Lords, he Is a membe, of the Cabi-
net, he prescribos the regulation OF
public prosecutions, controls almost
all the judicial patronage of the
Crown, and himself appoints and may

Courts throughout England. In fact,
