@Brass."
In Brass, the movie version of a
popular novel, the screen is true to
its best.
Brass depicts the cycle of married
life between two hot-blooded young
people thrown together by the surge
OF life forces Their impulses oe-
mand that they mate regardless OF
mental or spiritual affinity and they
plunge headlong into matrimony
Later on things happen.
A white-eyed old hellion of moth
er-in-law butts in bossing the place
until the husband throws her out. The
wife proves to be lover of the bright
lights and the companion OF male and
female wastrels. The husband turns
out to be true home type who loves
rhe baby and works like the devil to
oat ahead Because he is busy trying
to make the family secure his Wife
rails at him. saying he neglects ner
for his work, and takes cheap re-
venge by skipping out with other
men. Finally she leaves her husband
and baby for the sake of good-for-
nothing sport
The young man goes on alone Sc
curing the aid of motherly woman IN
raising the baby. He achieves sue
cess. finds that he loves the woman
who came to his rescue when he was
stranded with an infant, and prepares
rs wed. Then the wife comes back.
This is the crux of the story. The
human door-mat type of sob-slster
would have him take his first wife
back, spoiled a good romance and i'm
rnolated two worthy lives on the al
tar OF self-sacrifice. But the creator
Of the story ordains differently He
pushes the foolish wife out of the tale
and leaves the two who had found
each other and happiness in locked
arms on a rose-clad porch. Which is
as it should be,
Married life, it seems, goes IN cy-
cles. The pull of life forces, the mat
ing instinct, throws young people to-
esther. Nature cares little about
mental affinity. common likes and dis
likes and so on. The causes that
create an irresistible pull toward
wedlock are too finely hinged to be
snalyzed. In 90 cases out of 100 there
is no analysis of what would create
a permanent and happy union. For
tunately, most marriages are reason

The True Christmas Spirit.


Clara Clemens Gabrilovitch, daugh-
ter of Mark Twain, recommends that
we drop the foolish giving OF useless
gifts to those who have plenty and
send the money saved to rescue starv-
ing children in Germany. So doing
we truly follow Him in whose name
the day is set aside.
America will not follow this sensi-
bic suggestion even though we should
do so. Starving children in Europe
make little more than a Sympathetic
appeal to us. If they were on our
streets in their tatters their hollow
eyes and wan faces would smite our
hearts. Christ within us would
prompt us to aid these suffering ones.
Some day we will study the words
of Jesus. We will see what he meant.
We will follow Him, achieve the king
dom Of God in our hearts and Christ
will return and walk with the Chill
dren of Men.

Respect for Useful Principles.
Although he Is a liberal conserva-
tive, Judge Sanford has never allowed
liberal views to prevail over a neces-
stty for prese aviation of useful ancient
principles. In this respect he was an
ideal judge, holding an oven balance
between the old and the new, with
liberal leanings ever nicely and wise
ly adjusted, balanced by a useful and
wise conservatism. The result of
such thought Is regarded truly gov
ernment in its best, most wholesome
aspects, actually and practically
adapting itself TO the daily needs and

Trait Specially Cited.
One Of tho best traits in Judge
! Sanford is the way he mingles mercy
with sound judgment in sentencing
criminals. While he is in every way
better fitted for Supreme Court and
appealed causes than for nisi prius
cases. especially Of criminal nature,
ne always has had rare Judgment as
70 the effect of sentences on con-
v:cted defendants. He applied two
principles rarely conjoined in judicial
officers in melting out justice to the
. convicted. He mercifully made SEN
tences short-almost always to county
jails IN internal revenue cases-and
revised these sentences by further
. shortenlng OF time when reports were
made of reform and amendment.
OF the bench, Judge Sanford Is
literally inclined also. When he was
student at Harvard he was i'm
pressed with the economic theories of
the Manchester school, and became a
believer in free trade. On his return
to Knoxville he joined the republican
party. out of respect to the position
OF his father. Edward J. Sanford, the

vinced that the nations Of the world

In Touch with Changed Conditions,
Generally speaking, I think it can
be said that the new associate justice
has kept closely in touch with the
changing conditions OF the times, and
that he has tried to administer the
law with these things in mind. Ger
tain IL is, he has tried earnestly to
construe and administer the law in a

Zeal for Justice.
BY GEORGE r. MILTON. JR.


Edward Terry Sanford. the new
associate justice Of the United States
Supreme Court. may well be termed
a liberal. conservative. An examina-
ton of those cases affecting the pub
lie veal which have been tried be-
fore him during his fifteen years
tenure of the federal bench for the
middle and eastern districts of Ten
nessee show this plainly. He never
allows conservative views notions
merely become "consecrate by time
70 have the slightest weight when
the future is to be considered In con-
nection with rights dependent upon
progressive future ideas
The case OF the Cumberland Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company against
the Public Utilities Commission OF the
state of Tennessee fairly illustrates
the liberal leanines of the new asso-
ciate justice. While his family came
from the east and settled at Knox
vile during tho war and was thor
oughly Cnionist Che is conservative
in that respect, thoroughly In SYM
pathy with the principle and spirit
Of union IN the interstate war;. he Is
in full sympathy with the principle
OF proper state rights within the
Union. His political and public views
date from a postwar period, however,
1868 having been the year Of his
birth.
Telephone Company's object.
The telephone company sought TO
restrain the utilities commission from
ordering an appraisal of its proper
ties or fixing rates. alleging "confisca-
ton" without due process of law,
etc. The case was tried before Judge
Sanford at Nashville. and the dect-
sion showed him in full sympathy
with the principle Of state rights
within an fndestructible Union as to
all practical matters affecting local
rates and interests
Neither the exercise Of power by
the federal government, nor the rights
of the company. nor of the people.
its patrons, played any part in the
decision of that case. That both were
considered goes without saying. but
the decision rested on the right OF
tho state to deal with the subject of
utility rates, and upheld II firmly.
Delay is in every way obnoxious to
Judge Sanford, but the Tennessee
Central Railway bankruptcy case IL
lustrates how he allowed his strong
leaning toward quick action TO be
warped into long delay. The great
world war made IL appear necessary
to the interests OF all parties-bond-
holders, ordinary creditors, foreclos-
ing trust companies, intervening par
ties. etc.-to allow the cause to drag
