Hughes Appointment Praised,
But Debate Thought Salutary

The Senate's confirmation of the
nomination of Charles E. Hughes as
Chief Justice is followed by a debate
equal in proportion to that which pre-
coded it. Admirers of the new Chief
Justice are convinced that he has all
the qualities of an impartial official.
Others base their support on his knowl-
edge of the law. A third class holds
that the battle has been beneficial as
contributing to public knowledge of the
functions of the court.
AS Governor of New York." it is
pointed out by the Cincinnati Times
Star, Hughes upheld the interests of
the people against three great groups of
corporations-those engaged in life in
surance, those engaged In metropolitan
transportation and those engaged In the
production of power and light. AS an
attorney. he has effectively represented
the legitimate interests of his clients
AS Chief Justice, he would do just what
he did on the bench beforehand he
was strong, impartial Judge"
X X
"The so-called Progressive Republi-
cans" according to the Hartford
Courant, overlooked the distinguished
service that Mr.. Hughes had rendered
as attorney for the people in the New
York gas investigation and in the
Armstrong insurance inquiry as well as
the liberalism he displayed as Governor
of New York and his willingness to sup
port reform measures against the wishes
of the Republican organization" The
Fort Worth cord-Telegraph holds
that it would have been difficult to
suggest a name for the high Office that
carries, on past performances, more of
the ingredients of judicial impartiality."
1.-THE interests of the masses of the
American people" in the opinion OF
the Lexington Leader. could not be in
better hands. No reproach need attach
to any one who thinks that some other
jurist might have made more SatiSfac-
tory Chief Justice. That is q matter
of opinion. But the Senators who have
sought to make 1t appear that Mr..
Hughes will be inclined by tempera-
ment and by past associations to lean
too far to the side of conservatism are
simply mistaken in the man or speak
as they do out OF pure cantankerous-
ness"

California Damage S1@,0M-
 Earthquake May Be Cause

Long Beach, Cal, April 25.-lP}- Unusually heavy seas continued to pound the Long Beach water front today while harbor officials sought the reason for the phenomenon.
 George Cannon, municipal wharf finger, estimated the damage inflicted during the last few days at s150,00o.
 The huge. rolling waves, sweeping in from a comparatively calm ocean. broke through the Long Beach breakwater and at nightfall yestcr- day a breach estimated at from 150 to 300 feet had been opened. Efforts of harbor officials to inspect the damage closely were baked when the backwash from the big stone wall threatened to swamp their boats.
 Mariners expressed varying opin- ions as to the cause of the heavy seas, some suggesting a tidal wave which was reported off Central America last week and others of fering a possible earth movement on the ocean floor off the coast.
