The crown fell because during a

amounted to 100000 gold crowns
more than her exports. Most OF the

La Toilette

BY MRS. ALICE BRANDEIS,
Wife of Louis D. Brandeis,
Associate Justice Of the United
States Supreme Court.
La Toilette has been stig-
matized as wild, irresponsible,
revolutionary. All the more
significant is the faQt that, in
spite of this, most of the re-
forms no has advocated in the
course of his long career have
become law.
There is good reason for the
hope that in the field, too,
of imperialistic expansion his
arguments will prevail. and
that, if opportunity offers, he
will carry through the policy
so long and consistently adj
vocated by him. Of no Govern
ment aid to commercial exploit
ers, but a constant endeavor to
assist in generous and disin-
terested ways, the development
to the southwark Of strong, in
dependent States.
In this field as in domestic
matters, Senator La Toilette
is truly and wisely progressive
in that he devises and supports
measures necessary to con-
serve, under changing con-
ditions, the underlying prin-
ciples of American liberty and
democracy.
