Has Happened Before.

Has Happened Before.
1t has happened throughout our
history. President Truman has
witnessed it in the case of his two
lllustrious Democratic predecessors,
Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D.
Roosevelt. In Mr.. Wilson's time,
much liberal egislation-such, for
example, as that outlaw1ng child
labor-was buried by the court. In
Mr.. Roosevelt's time it seemed the
President had only to bring policy
to the stage of legislative enact
ment to have the venerable JUS
tices start sharpening their shovels.
When, in the wisdom of Providence,
Mr.. Roosevelt was given the oppor-
tunity to name a majority of the
court, he sought to name men who
would not only refrain while he
lived from undoing the good he at
tempted to do, but would permit
it to live after him.
No President worthy of the Office
has failed to give thought to pos
terity. And when President thinks
about posterity he is compelled to
think about the Supreme Court
what it may do. in time. to the
purposes and achievements closest
to his heart.
So President Truman is giving
hard thought to the problem pre-
sented by the death of Chief Justice
Stone. He is listening to all who
may have something useful to tell
him. Some of his friends were
startled when he called in Charles
Evans Hughes, former Chief Justice,
and Owen Josephus Roberts, former
associate justice. There were wise
cracks to the effect that next to be
summoned would be James Clark
McReynolds, a former associate
justice, known to be even more bit
ter In his opposition to the Roose-
velt-Truman program than either
Mr.. Hughes or Mr.. Roberts.
And there was one story to the
effect that Mr.. Hughes had given
the President prescription for a
new Chief Justice that could only
be filled by one man, and that Mr..
Roberts had followed through by
actually naming the man able
young Charles Evans Hughes, jr.
You can put such stories down as
part Of the apocrypha of the White
House-too pat to be true, too pre-
posterous to be denied.
knowledge With Service.
Messrs. Hughes and Roberts could
tell the President plenty worth his
hearing. Both have an extensive
acquaintance among the success
full lawyers of the country. Both
have intimate acquaintance with
the present members of the Su-
preme Court and are qualified to
appraise the talents of each. In
deed, 1t was Mr. Hughes who was
first credited with characterizing
Justice Black as the ablest lawyer
on the bench.
1t Is a reasonably safe assump-
ton that neither Mr.. Hughes nor
Mr.. Roberts sought to suggest whom
the President should name or even
what the new mans political philos-
ophy should be; they would hardly
do that in the light of the last four
elections. But they could and
doubtless did offer their views con-
corning the judicial capacity OF
various men under consideration.

should know more about law than
he, having in mind the amount he
has helped make. Something the
same is said of the two others, with
their judicial and administrative
