Selected Poem
TO LITTLE LEAVES

John Jerome Roonet in the New York Sun Little leaves just peeping out After Winters dismal rout: Drinking in your May day wine From the Suns warm, gushing vine Looking round about to see How 1t fares with man and bee: Shy and tender yet, well knowing Springs fiirtatious winds are blowing: Little leaves, by heart rejoices With the mating. birds sweet voices, With the mountain springs gay waters And the Mays young, merry daughters, Violets, daisies, daffodils,
 Fairies of the vales and hills, Yet, O, little leaves of springtime, Harbingers of song and wingtime, Messengers from natures heart, That the worlds once more astart, You I love beyond all others Though they be your kin and brothers You have opened the door for me To Summers glorious liberty.

Liberal and Radical

It has been frequently said and even more frequently reiterated that justices of the Supreme Court bring to the bench the social view point and the legal attitude of mind which have been created, or developed, by years of private practice. If, for example, lawyer prior to his appointment had specialized in corporation law on the side of the corporations his decisions as Supreme Court jus- tice must automatically be colored by the character of that practice. If his clientele had been confined to big business or special interests his judicial sympathies would, involuntarily, veer in that direc- tion. He would be conservative" justice and represent among the nine members of the court the philosophy of reaction. If, on the other hand, he had been identified with litigation on the peoples side against vested interests, or If he had championed the cause of the victims of social or industrial op- pression he could not be, as Q member of the Court, anything otherwise than antipathetic to the pleas of counsel for those he had formerly fought as a lawyer. He would, therefore, be considered as belonging to the liberal wing of the Court. In the eyes of the group which Publisher Gannett typifies, he would be labelled a radical"

Roosevelt as "cockeyed". Being as how it was a weekend gather ing I suppose everything looked more or less cockeyed. But MT. Gannett went on to say that ap- pointments to the United States Supreme Court would be an irn- portant issue in the coming cam paign. If MT. Roosevelt is re- elected the danger would be that he would pack the Supreme Court with appointees who are in sym pathy with his idea of govern ment and, conversely, the only way to keep the highest court in the land non-partisan, was to de- feat the President. We have grown so accustomed to and so disgusted with accusations made against MT. Roosevelt's political morality and the quality of his patriotism that there is no need to bear down on Publisher Gan- nett's enlistment in the ranks of the accusers. Discounting the fact that potential nominees on the Republican national ticket will say anything that comes into their heads and everything which some ghost-writer puts ints their mouths, 1t seems advisable to bring little brief analysis to bear on MT. Gannett's Rochester re- marks. This owner of chain store string of newspapers may, I think,e be included among those who look upon the Supreme Court as an immutable, immov- able, infallible institution and who consider that its justices should be immune from criticism from any source and for any reason. And yet he must now answer the same charge which his camp and party are so vociferous in direct ing at the President namely, that of undermining the prestige of the country's Court of Last Resource. Since MT. Gannett is a would-be occupant of second place on the Republican ticket 1t is logical to infer that his attack was uncon- scious,-in more ways than one.

Alteration Possible

AICeEaCIOn fOSS1DlG
 Of course there have been changes and the most remarkable is that which took place in Chief Justice Hughes. As a trial or office lawyer he could by no stretch of the imagination be called an exponent of liberal in- depreciation of the law. His ap- pointment was hailed as an indi- cation that American conserva- tism had another staunch friend and proponent on the supreme bench. And yet on many occa- sions he has astonished the legal fraternity and pained the reac- tionary business interests of the country by voting with the liberal wing of the Court as represented by Justices Brandeis and Stone. Justice Cardozo is a legal philos- opher concerned only with the es- sence of the law and its applica- tion in the light of his own philos- ophy. If that light happens to shine in the direction of liberalism all well and good. If in the direc- ton of conservatism equally well and good. But where the light shines depends on Justice Car dozo's philosophy of the law, not upon his social or economic view point.

Why Now?

All this bother about the poSsi- ble change in the personnel of the Supreme Court is shear nonsense. No one in Publisher Gannett's party found fault with the ap- pointees to the supreme bench 50 long as the Chief Executive nam- ing them and the Senate confirm ing them were Republicans. Such a combination could not possibly go wrong and the Court as con- Stituted under g.o.p. control was the last word in judicial integrity and impartiality. The first sap ping of the tribunal began when President Wilson nominated Jus tice Brandeis and he was con- firmed. He was Jew which violated existent tradition. What was even more objectionable to the same elements, which now attack MT. Roosevelt, was the fact that Law yer Brandeis was tarred with lib- eralism and that his attitude to- wards the law as it effected hu- man existence was tainted with "radicalism." That he was a truly great lawyer, that he was an ornament to the legal calling, that his professional and personal life were above reproach, and that he brought to his judicial labo-s 8 magnificent intellect and Q hu- mane heart were counted as naught. His whole career had been devoted to the cause of the people and for that he was damned. His record on the bench is the justifi- cation of his selection and the combination of those who opposed it. Summed up what Publisher Gannett fears is not that Pres ident Roosevelt's potential ap- pointecs to the Supreme Bench will be communists in disguise but that they will be men who recog- nize in the Constitution Q docu- ment imbued with life, an instru- ment to be applied to national conditions which change and to the needs of a people who too long have been the helpless victims of a supreme judiciary which has been concerned with sanctity of property more than 1t has with the welfare of human beings.

The Legal Attitude

There is a position assumed by lawyers which makes the classif1- cation of Supreme Court justices into liberals and conservatives al- together intelligible. Most law yers, and this is written without any desire to be nasty, assume the attitude that when they accept 8 retainer their own views vanish and are replaced by the views of their client, their personal con- sciences are submerged under, or are absorbed by, the consciences of those they represent. Duty to their clients is the first and rul- ing obligation. However askance the moralist may view this atti- tude is not a question at issue. It

is, in the eyes of legal practition- CTS, not only defensible but justifi- able. Therefore, to the writer at least, it is altogether to be expect- ed that a conservative lawyer will be a conservative Supreme Court justice and a liberal lawyer will be 8 liberal justice. Elevation to the bench does not and cannot, it seems to me, change mans phil- osophy of the law nor his per- spective on questions which have a social aspect.

The COurt-TO-Be!

The picture of the Supreme Court which Publisher Gannett, and all the other opponents to President Roosevelt's policies, paint is, to this department, ale together out of drawing. They assert that the Court as now con- stituted is not concerned with nor influenced by any other consid- eration than the Constitution in itself. The justices previous legal environment, their social theories, their views on life and living have nothing to do with forming their decisions. The very instant they are elevated to the bench they leave the past behind them. Nothing col- or their Judgments; politics, ex- pediency, previous association, in tellectual training, inherited and acquired prejudices or predelic- tions have been forgotten. In the light of clear, dispassionate, un- biased reason they view the Con- Stitution and form their judg- mentS. All this is true, however, only because their decisions meet with the approval of the conserva- tive and reactionary interests of the nation and because their ap- pointments were made by Repub- lican presidents. When, as, and if President Roosevelt is reelected Publisher Gannett is sure that the retiring justices, who by unfort- unate chance represent the con- servative section of the bench, will be replaced by those whose Judgments will be in line with the Presidents theories and his idea of government. The impartiality and non-partisanship which is supposed to banish every existing legal and mental characteristic in the appointee through the acci- dent of appointment, will disap- pear. Then will ensue a strictly political judiciary subservient to the demands of the president who appointed its members and sub- missive to the Senate which rati- fled the appointments. Publisher Gannett must have an exceedingly low estimate of the character of the lawyers he believes MT. Roose- welt if reelected will raise to the dignity of Supreme Court justices and an even lower opinion of the President himself.
