Senator Joseph T. Robinson, of Ar
kansas, the Presidents leader in the
Senate. Then came the public attack
Tuesday by Gov. Herbert H. Leh-
man, of New York.
The result of the "Court" fight can
not be other than most satisfactory
to those who desire to see the per-
manency of American institutions.
The Supreme Court has always been
a tribunal looked up to as a court
of last resort and one so organized as
to be absolutely inviolable. It was
composed of the ablest jurists in the
land, and their opinions could be hand
ed down, uncontaminated by any in
fluence whatever.
It was therefore, repugnant to a
free people when decisions handed
down by these learned men were re-
scented by the Head of the Nation to
such an extent as to lead him into an
effort to change the personnel of the
Body in order to secure verdicts ia
vorable to his radical ideas of gov
eminent. There was no hesitancy on
the part of leading statesmen in using
the word "pack" to describe the presi-
dental play.
But the issue has been settled. There
will be no immediate increase of
membership And If thora bod hooY,
it is difficult to understand just what
sort of man could be induced to ac-
cept a position on the Supreme Bench
if he knew he was to be hampered
by outside interference. Few would
like to sit as an automatic, and the
Nation would have lost confidence in
such a judiciary. The American peo-
pie should draw a breath of relief
and feel like renewing their faith in
the great American Republic.
