The place of Mr.. Justice Holmes in
jurisprudence, his philosophy of the law
and his adjustment of it's spirit to cur
rent social needs and crises, his fondness
for flashing epigrams and his past
mastery of the English language are
sufficiently established, here and abroad.
His first book, 1.-The Common Law" pub
lished just half a century ago, Is still
pre- eminent in its field, Is legal text
book, is cited in court opinions and has
been translated into half q dozen Ian
guages. His is the only name commonly

Judicial Court Of Massachusetts,

try has brought him widespread and un-
stinted applause. His qualities as states

power as literary stylist, are well
known. Yet certain tang and debonair

omnivorous reader, he displays nowhe1e
the catholicity of his mental life more
clearly than on the highroads and In
the byways of literature. For years, GER
tainly through 1904, he listed all the
books he read. Perhaps it was little
childish, he said, but he thought no book
was quite finished until he had set down
the title and the author, perhaps with
marginal notation. 1t was as though
marksman were notching his gun.
The range of these adventurings can
hardly be indicated here, but it may as
well be said that the Justice has vastly
enjoyed such books as "Nize Baby"
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" Poems in
Praise Of Practically Nothing" detective
stories and French novels. His weakness
for detective stories is such that he has
had to ration himself. His fondness for
French fiction Is such that once, when
he told portrait painter that he could
have but an hour for a sitting, Mrs.
Holmes interrupted with: "Take as much
time as you need; he only wants to get
away to one of those naughty French
novels"
On another occasion, while a Judge of
the Massachusetts, Supreme Court, when
he found the long winded arguments of
group of lawyers especially trying, he
advised thega gravely to take course of
reading risque books in order to learn 10

did he pause to rest
upon his oars. He had considered
the contingency, however. Il al
ways thought" he observed when
he was 80 years old, that when
I got to be fourScore I could wrap
up my life in scroll, tie a pink
ribbon around it, put it away in
drawer and go around doing
the things wanted to do. But I
learned that when you have taken
one trench there is always a new
firing line beyond"
Thereafter, with ideas as his
targets and shining phrases as his
I weapons, he remained on the fir
ing line, an active and relentless
markSman, until last month he
bowed, to use his own phrase, to
the inevitable. On Monday, the
18th, he read from the bench a
decision as luminous and as
cogent as any he had ever writ
ten; on Tuesday, as an attendant
of the United States Supreme
Court helped him on with his
coat, he said: I'll not be in to-
morrow" The attendant, who had
noted with others that the weight
of years bore more heavily upon
the Justice, supposed that he
meant to rest for a day or two.
On Wednesday President Hoover
made public his resignation from
the court. Il know of no Ameri-
can retiring from public service"
said Mr.. Hoover, with such a
sense of affection and devotion of
the whole people"
It was characteristic of the
turist that he should have broken
the news of his approaching re-
tirement so obliquely and casually
to his friend, the court attendant.
He detestS oStentation and diSikeS
to have fuss" made over him.
He would have preferred, If it had
been possible, to go through life
unsung and unadvertised. Aside
from the reticence natural to his
New England rearing, there Is a
stole strain in his makeup.
AN incident in young manhood
suffice to illustrate how the CO
or repression of emotion was prac
by Wendell Holmes and the father
whom he took his name. Late or
night of the Battle of Antietam
household of DR.. Holmes, beloved "a
crat of the Breakfast Table" was arc
by the thunderous summons of a
graph messenger. The doctor !
"Capt. Holmes wounded, shot thr

vigor of the man have escaped
the public within whose ken he
has stridden, quite without de-
sign. He dislikes publicity, does
not read newspapers and cannot
be interviewed. Thus an impress
sion prevails of an overawing and
erudite personality. The detach-
ment of his judicial poise invests
him with an air Of aloofneSS and
withdrawal.
Erudite the Justice certainly Is.
An associate in the Supreme Court
once commented that he was still,
at 80, reading the classics in the
originaI-Latin and Greek, Of
course, and almost equally, of
course, French and German, but
in addition to that, Italian and
Spanish and Portuguese. When
this was repeated to Mr. Justice
Holmes he looked a little panied.

'I always qualify that against the
Day of Judgment. Because, as
fact, I only read the purple
patches in the original; for the
lower levels a translation will do.

says: Now tell me, Holmes, very
briefly, what you got out Of Dante
In the original that you wouldn't

then I would have to say, But,

Almost in the next breath,
nevertheless, the Justice con-
fessed that he had just been re-
reading Thucydides in the origt-
nal. "Why?" a visitor asked.

smilingly aside. "And I've been

he added. "Those two inf1amed
my youth more than any other
men. I find that Emerson Is still
full bodied, but Ruskin wears a
little thin"

The Republicans, naturally, are it. We
don't need another. The existence of
the Democratic party prevents clear
issues.
The way to force coalition of the
two old parties is to smash the Demo-

gamation.
When that happens, there will be a
good chance for Us to draw such good
men as Franklin D. Roosevelt. Demo-

Der 24-Secretary Doak today asked the

Our candidates for office do not have
to change their tariff policies every time
they crcss State or county line in

time convention meets to describe
what our position will be on the tariff
question.

Evils to Be Corrected.
Correction of past and present evils
on credit extension will be the theme OF
the campaign, with particular emphasis
on current credit problems explained
Henry H. Heimann, executive manager
of the association.
IF credit is extended reasonably, 1t
means that credit is at work, and work
ing credit means working men." he said.
AT no time during the depression
has there been lack of credit, but it
has been so frozen that it could not

insure normal business.
"Overproduction, about which we
have heard so much, really means an
overextension of credit-beyond rea-
sonable needs.
In 1881, Mr.. Heimann said, total
earnings of major corporations in the
United States were less than $1,000
100000, while the Nations loss on bad
debts" was about half that amount.
Proportion of Credit.
Every time you freeze a dollar in

of credit circulation, because the worlds
business is done on credit in that
proportion"
From the credit mans point Of view,
he said. 1.-The cardinal mistake" made
during the depression was failure to
realize the necessity of making an i'm
mediate, modest readjustment in wages
and salaries at the inception of hard
times"
A poll of credit conditions in all Sec
tions at the associations convention
revealed improvement everywhere, Mr..
Heimann said, with betterment most
pronounced in the South and in some
