Supreme Chancellor
Green Makes Reply
CONTINUED from last week.

l also note your criticism, Mr.. Edi-
tor, of the Southern delegates from
Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma
fighting Texas and the South. The
delegates from Louisiana, Mississippi
and Oklahoma, Mr. Editor, have the
courage of their convictions and
would not "bend the pregnant hinges
of the knee that thrift might follow
fawning," but will tell the truth about
conditions in the South, and will not
try to humiliate their more fortunate
ly situated brethren and sisters by
voting to force them to come to the
far South on "jim-crow" railroad
trains, and to be humiIiated and in
suited on "jim-crow' street cars in
order to pass to and from their meet
ing places if their sessions were held
in some city in the far South.
Great Relief.

Where He Sat.

He sat at the bar near the main
entrance to the court room, calm, un-
assuming, dignifed as he appeared
for one Of the appellants in noted
case. A virtual chemical laboratory
rested on the table in front of the
jurists. Mr.. Hughes associate was
arguing the case, the necessity of
making these tests in the presence of
the court. Mr.. Hughes, soon after
the other side objected, stepped brisk
ly to the front and stated that this
chemical demonstration would save
hours of explanation. The three
judges drew their chairs closer to-
gether, discussed the matter and per-
mitted the test to proceed.
A Central Figure.
l had known the central figure
Judge Waddill) in this judicial
drama for forty years. He began
his career as a country lawyer, then
he went to Congress, then he became
district judge, winning for himself
high honors for the mastery decisions
rendered by him during the World
War, which decisions were later up
held by the highest judicial tribunal
in the land. Now, here he was with
one of the most noted barristers in
the world addressing him while he oc-
cr,oied the position as the senior judge
of the United States Court of Appeals.
1t is a dazzling change.
That Great New Yorker.
Sedate, solemn, with a growth of
beard, closely resembling the Hon.
Charles Evans Hughes, he sat there,
source of pleasure and wonder to
his friends, and the object of admira-
ton and commendation to those who
had observed his meteoric career dur
ing his later days.
With bowed head in reverence and
esteem, by the call of duty elsewhere,
i passed out of the court room to the
street below.
