Old Out East knows William ]. O'DOnnell. the friendly and painstaking steward of the Wa terhury Elks club. who Is to be feted by his fellow members at Elks hall on Saturday evening. In our opinion, 1t Is . we'll deserved tribute to one Of the most faithful Elks Waterbury ledge has even produced.
 You see we know Will because when he first landed in Water bury in the latter part of the nineties, he arrived at the old Dublin street station of the Meriden railroad. win is . na- tive of NIiddletown. and came to Waterbury by way of the now defunct steam railroad, but . popular travel route of that time.
 Like all young men of those days away from home for the first time. Will was strange. bee wildered and Lonesome for the old home town. He walked along Rutledge street to East Main street, where he encountered me, the first person he spoke to af'er arrival.
 .'NIister," he almost bawled, 'T'm . stranger here: I'm lock- ing for some relatives. but \ can't find them"
 There were tears in little Willie's eyes.
 Don't cry. my boy" we ad- vised! 'we'll look after you."
 Young Win took hold of our big brawny hand. and held tightly to iE.
 We took him into . little candy shop that then stood at the corner of Taylor street.
 "Have . stick of candy, boy" VIII did. Then we got him talk ing. after he felt he was in the hands of real friends.
 We found his relatives, turned him over te them. and within a few years, found Will at work with the old Waterbury Clock company. But he was just young enough to want to be . fireman. It was his life's ambition. Chief Snagg and he got to be fast friends, and before long, young VIII joined the department in 1902, we think. as Q caIlman. and in 1903 as . permanent member. But in those days, flremen had to remain on duty for 24 hours, with only one hour for each meal
 Will was young. and after awhile wanted to go places. He hung on until 1867 when on

 Then he went to the Elks and has been down there ever since pulling an old fashioned and obsoliete dumb waiter up and down to the top floor to satisfy the wants of the numerous card players in this part of the building. This in itself is enough to being a hump to 8 camel's back.
 No wonder we, in our old age, hold a fond place in our heart for Will, now grown to man hood. We're not identified with the Elks, but if we were, you would find us down there this coming Saturday night whoop- ing things up in honor of this we'll known young man.

buster,
 WilIis Vandevanter-Republica politician and Republican circuit judge.
 The three liberal justices may similarly be classified as:
 Louis ID. Brandeis-Advocate Of public causes and legal crusader against vested interests" Harlan F. stone - Republican. primarily a teacher of law. but also once corporation lawyer.
 Benjamin N. CaFd0z0 - Legal scholar and jurist. Judge for Yourself
 There is no taint attached to practice as corporation lawyer or to participation in the game of politics. Most able lawyers become corporation lawyers and many Of the ablest statesmen have been smart politicians.
 Yet 1t is obvious that the back grounds of the conservative jus tices were far more mixed up with those influences than the back grounds of the liberals and you are entitled to decide for yourself how important the respective back grounds have been in judicial de- clslonS.
