Hughes told five hundred members of his profession at a dinner given for him at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel that he had no regrets-for his course in politics. The future of the coun- try rests upon the integrity of the bar, Mr. Hughes declared, and there can be no higher duty for any man than to follow the highest ideals of that profession. “I come back without any com- plaint or regret,” Mr. Hughes said. after he had received a warm recep- tion. “I return to the practice proud of the work of a lawyer. I have no desire to ‘Invoke sympathy by any suggestion of misfortune. I did not wish to resign from the bench but it was my duty and I do not regret what I did. I return from my ten years of excursions without pessimism.” Referring to Bis work during his ten years of absence from the “hearthstone,” Mr. Hughes said that if a man does what he thinks is right he will have the support of his com- munity. He was glad he had served as a judge, the speaker said and he knew that the Bar and the public had no adequate idea of the magnitude of service of judges. He spoke of the difficulty facing the country in main- taining the proper balance of power between localities, the states and the nation. The state power must be maintained where it is essential, and the national power must be extend- ed where it may reach property, he said. “It is essential to the future of this country that the highest standard be maintained not only on the bench, but in the bar,” Mr. Hughes said. “The future of the republic depends largely on an enlightened and pa- triotic bar, on men who see the pub- lic necessities of their time and who are not submerged in practice. The proudest ornaments of the bar and of the law are the men who have been unpurchasable by fees.” Mr. Root on Mr. Hughes. There was no doubt that the Bar association was glad to have Mr. Hughes back. “I am glad he is here, but T wish he were somewhere else,”” Elihu Root aid, “Mr. Hughes has come¢ back to perform two functions—one of the most exacting that can come to any man, that of being a prominent citi- zen. The other is the duty of being a lawyer, and in that capacity will add in elevating the bench, help- ing to restore the best traditions of the bar. Gods knows we need men whose trust is not in words and fine phrases and expression of fine senti- ment, men who do not so much talk about their passion for country as men who love liberty so much as they are willing to give it to others. Justice John Proctor Clarke, pre- siding justice of the appellate di- vision, thanked the Bar association for work done by its grievance com- mittee, which he said is of great ser- vice to the courts. There is no finer office, Justice Clarke told Mr. Hughes, | than being an nonorary member of the Bar association, “with a big prac- tice.” Now Mr. Hughes is a free man. walking the streets of his own city, not afraid to meet any reporter, and not followed by a secret service corps, the speaker said. Four justices of the supreme court have resigned in the history of that bench. Frances Lynde Stetson said and the last resignation, that of Mr. Hughes, all, because he did not like to think of these justices as available for po- litical nomination. Hereafter every justice of the United States supreme court must know that his utterances may some day be the subject of po- litical consideration and Mr. Stetson aid he hoped no other justice would ever be compelled to make the sacri fice required of Mr. Hugh AL o L ol e S A — TOO LATE FOR CLASSIFICATION.

D. | DR.CARRY T. GRAYSON In view of the nomination by Pres- ident Wilson of his physician and friend, Dr. Cary T. Grayson, who is a naval officer, to be medical director of the navy, “jumping” him over the heads of many senior officers, it is pointed out by defenaers of the presi- dent’s action that Dr. Grayson was not nominated by the president to be a rear admiral in the navy, but to be a medical director with the rank of rear admiral. He would not take precedence aboard ship over a cap- tain, commander or any other officer of the line, not excluding an ensign. His rank of rear admiral merely relative and does not carry with it the right to perform muitary duties or to assume command over a vessel or force of men if no officer senior to him is present. At the same time the rank of rear admiral in the medical corps carries with it many advantages, including immunity from sea duty for all time and the promotion of Dr. Grayson is being criticised particular- Iy because he was aavanced over so many older medical officers of long experience in naval sufgery. A long fight on Dr. Grayson's coniirmation by the senate was predicted and expect- ed. COWDRAY IN CHARGE ABOVE THE GROUND The government and people now t Haig and will back him to the limit.
