tual freedom that called for
courage at that time and in thai
place.
zone Of the clients Davis has
had during the last three years
is labor union, the National
Window Glass Workers, which ne
defended successfully in the
supreme court against an effort
of the government to condemn
contract made between the wind
CIV glass workers and the window
glass manufacturers as being q
combination in restraint of trade.
Labor Liked His Attitude
Probably the reason this labor
union came to Mr.. Davis to rep
resent it in this case lay in the
recollection of all labor unions
that MIR. Davis as congressman
had taken what labor regards as
friendly view of public ques.
tons in which labor is interested.
Davis as a congressman served
0 nthe judiciary committee which
wrote the Clayton act, eXempting
labor unions from the operation
of the Sherman antitrust law.
The common belief at the time
was that Davis personally was
the actual writer Of the act.
Another episode in Mr.. Davis
career that brought him to tie
friendly attention of the labor
unions was the fact that Davis,
as solicitor general Of the United
States, made the argument in
favor Of the constitutionality cf
the socalled Adamson aight-hour
law, the statute which established
an eight-hour day for railroad
employees. The brief and the
argument that Davis made up
holding this eight-hour law form
at once an example Of the liber-
ality Of his convictions and of his
intellectual strength"
Citations Refute differences
All these things, which, as I
say, were written in this paper
last April, should be remembered
now as against those who will be
tempted to read Inaccurate in
ferences into the fact that Mr..
Davis, since he retired from pull
lie life, has been member Of
that New York law firm which,
as it happens, is the same firm
that Grover Cleveland entered
when he retired from public life.
These things should be remember
ed as against any hasty DISPOSE
ton to come to an off-hand judy
ment about Mr.. Davis based on
mere differences from the fac-
that the best intellectual talent
of the country is sought out by
the biggest business interests Of
the country when they want able
lawyers.

of Mr.. Davis is intellectual in
tegrity and intellectual freedom.
Liberals and progressives, whose
liberalitv is grounded on intel
lectual courage, will understand
and appreciate these qualities in
Mr.. Davis.
The man who, in all America,
typifies an extreme form of m
tellectual freedom, a freedom SO
courageous that it departs from.
practical reality, is Eugene Debs.
Two Would Recommend
Two days ago Debs presided
over the socialist national con-
vention. The writer makes the
guess that if Eugene Dabs were
asked to express his opinion, he
would speak of him in terms. Of
generous favor. Debs has had
reason to have favorable know
ledge Of Davis mind, and Debs
is a man Of such intellectual in
tegrity that he would never re-
frain from a commendation th2t
he felt was due.
The same is probably true Of
Wayne Wheeler of the AntiSa-
loon League. Wheeler, if asked,
will undoubtedly say that he has
complete confidence in Davis in
the field of prohibition enforce
ment.
All this should weigh during
the period of hasty temptation t.
think and write and speak of
Mr.. Davis in terms of mere CON
venient labels and phrases about
conservative or progressive, wet
or dry.

John W. Davis is the best man
the democrats could have noni-
mated.
The second best is Senator Car
ter Glass, oI Virginia.
One day last april, when the
writer was talking WITH Senator
Glass about the latter's reluctance
to leu his friends push forward
more enorgetieally. Senator Glass
expressed his view vita the use
Of a rather quaint, old-fashioned
word occasionally found in the
vocabulary Of Senator Glass and
OF other Yirginians. He said,
as a reason why he himself should
not be put forward:
John w. Davis is the best
furnished man for the pres
dency," was the statement.
What he meant by that inclI
sive word was that of all the men
mentioned Davis has the best
equipment Of character, intellect
and experience.
One of the minor satisfactions
about the selection of Davis is
that he himself had no part in it.
West Should Reserve Judgment
The thing the democrats most
need now is to persuade the news
papers and other leaders of the
west from forming any absurdly
hasty Judgment on Davis, with no
more to 90 on than the mere phas;
that he has been "Morgan's Law
yer" Bryan said that while he
regarded Davis as the finest kind
of man personally, his opposition
to the nomination of Davis was
based on his fear that Davis
might not run well as against
LaFollettu west Of the Mississippi.
That may be or may not be. we
shall not know until November.
But what is greatly to be
hoped is that the west will sus-
