Mir. Justice Brandels.
(New York TimeS.)

(New York Tmes)
 MT Justice Brandes will be 75 next Friday In todays New York Times Magazine is discriminat- ing study of the the lawyer and the judge, his physical intellectual and moral personality. The country. and not he, is to be congratulated on the anniversary Of the fallbility of evidence. of the sway of honest prejudice, of errors of judgment and opinion, he had an uusual experience. even before he sat in court The storm against him at the time of his appointment almost incredible now. From the first he vindicated the wisdom of President Wilson, disappointed and surprised his opponents. Year by year his stature a judge has increased. He has to be regarded with gen. eral respect and affection such surrounds his elder brother, MT. Justice Holmes, his intimate friend often his companion in dissent, though as strong and independent characters they not infre- ,quently dissent from each other
 Justice Story Chief Justice White, Chief Justice Hughes have borne sufficient testimony to the value of dissenting opinions. It is by such opinions in- volving the guarantees of the Bill of Rights that MT. Justice Brandes has endeared himself to null titudes of citizens But like MT. Justice Holmes, he is respecter of persons. His eye is single only to what he believes the right interpretation of the Constitution and the law. The adventitious outside effect of judicial opinion is necessarily foreign to the mind of any upright judge This MT. Justice Brandeis said in the wire tapping
 If the Government becomes lawbreaker it breeds contempt for law; it invites every to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy
 Millions applauded and applaud still. In the physicians prescriptions he said High medical authority being in conflict
 to the medicinal value of spirituous and
 vinouS liquors taken a beverage it would,
 indeed be strange if Congress lacked the
 power to determine that the necessities of
 the liquor problem require limitation of
 the permissible prescriptions
 That not the kind of law that those same millions wanted. So in the long series of Judge Brandeis's decisions matters of labor, of busi ness, of public utilities, there will be many who have to disagree with him here and there But his logic, his learning the lucid order of his soning the eXactness of his language, his extra ordinary penetration of cacts his intellectual ergy, have long marked him destined to be memorable in the front of great judges Too much has been made of his liberalism" This sim | ply means that like MT. Justice Holmes, he re- gards the Constitution no iron strait jacket but as a garment that must fit each generation.

WORK OF EMPLOYEES MUTUAL BENEFIT ASSOCIATIONS.

The marked increase in the work of the em poyees mutual benefit. associations is attracting the attention of persons interested in the health of industrial workers
 A survey was recently made for the purpose of ascertaning to what extent the employees mutual benefit associations have gone beyond their primary function of providing certain fractions of wages when sickness causes loss of time from work to broader program of health improvement and better care of their disabled members As whole the associations are still essentially insurance ganizations making no attempt to control either the incidence or the severity of disability afflicng their members However, approximately 43 per cent of the associations replying reported that improve ment in health had probably resulted from the work the number of absences on account of illness had been reduced Only small number Of these att ributed the reduction to decline in the number Of unnecessary absences resulting from the work Of visiting nurses and investigators.
 Some of the more progressive organizations making an effort to shorten the duration of dis ability by assisting in provisions for adequate medi- cal attention and nursing Others are giving physical examinations and carrying on a program of health education.
 The sick benefit associations in this country are not recent development. The average age of the 3l2 associations which reported their was q years The largest number of associations were from 10 to IA years old Two per cent of those reporting had been operating 50 years
 These associations in fulfilling their primary function of providing cash benefits seldom on the side of over-insurance since one-fourth of the associations pay less than sl0o per day, and one

That is the caption placed over an item In a recently published bulletin of the United States Department of Agriculture, which recalled to mind the fable of the goose that laid golden eggs and broadcast the fact that 76o eggs produo ed every second in the United States and $20 worth od wealth thus created The Department has prepared an exhibit showing the chicken and egg income in one year for the country IS estimated at S1175.oooo00 h the exhibit mechanical device resembling an old fashioned coffee grinder appears to take in eggs and turn out golden coins.
 This is nothing new Substitute for the grinder the smooth tongued promoter and many VIII readily recall picture of another sort-a salesman taking in the golden coins while the investors wait for the eggs to come out often in vaEn. Of course there is money in the chicken and egg business Some of it has been there a long time and very likely is permanently deposited It Is equally true that money can be made in it under proper condi- ticns and sound management. But all too often, as thousands testify what they bought proved to be as expensive as the Golden Hens" of which the Department speaks so glowngly and so far as egg return is concerned they functioned as If made of gold even baser metal
