WALSH of Mon t member of the senate subcom- mittee which investigated charges against Louis D. Brandeis, appointed by Presi dent Wilson as associate justice of the Supreme court, in his report to the senate, Bares the source of the bitter opposition to Brandeis in the following illuminating Statement: ‘The real crime of which this man is ilty is that he has exposed the iniqui Bes of men in high places in our financial system. “He has expressed views on ‘social stice’—to which vague term are re- rred movements and measurements to obtain greater security, greater comfort And better health for industrial work- @fs, including safety devices, factory in- Spection, sanitary provision, reasonable hours, the abolition of child labor, all of Which threaten a reduction of dividends. "Tt is easy for a brilliant lawyer to conduct himself so as to escape calumny and vilification. All he needs to do is to drift with the tide. If he never assails the doer of evil who stands high in the Market place, he will have no enemies or detractors that he need heed. “The man who never represents the public or the impecunious citizen in any Great contest, but always the cause of Corporate wealth, never has these trou- bles.

So it is. But when it is said further that _ OMe might better be chosen over whom fo such bitter contention would arise, I decline to follow.” GOME PROFESSIONAL psychologist could Boys and War HE wisdom of universal military training—training, mind you, not service—usually is placed upon the ground that it would give to boys and young men physical development, dis- cipline and co-operative spirit that could be gained in few other ways ° The opposition centers largely on the sentimental view that the training pro- posed would be given at the most im pressionable age of youth and would de- velop an objectionable military viewpoint in all our young men, It would be all right, many declare, to train men, but not boys. The fact is, however, that it is the boys who will fight our next war, as they have fought our past wars. It is boys—young men under 21—who always are the first at the front in every war. The chances not only for their suc- cess, but for their lives, depend largely upon their military training. Both bul- lets and disease find their easiest mark in the untrained soldier Study these figures. Perhaps they will give you a new viewpoint on who it is that fight our wars, on who it !s that should be trained to protect themselves, as well as their country, in case of war They show the ages of the “men,” in reality boys, who fought in the Union army during the civil war: 10 years and under ...... . 2s 11 years and under . 38 12 years and under . 225 13 years and under . 300 14 years and under . 1,523 15 years and under . 104,987 16 years and under . 231,051 17 years under . 844,891 18 years a under 1,151,438 years under ... 2,159,798 years and OVER 681,511 S years and OVER . «ee 46,462 44 years and OVER ....... 16,071 The training systems of Switzerland and Australia teach their youth as much of how to protect their health and life, in peace as well as in war, as they do of how to meet an armed enemy. And that training, given to boys, is not only added strength for national defense, but added insurance that the boys will live to be men, able to do a man’s work in the ©TAR—WEDNESDAY, | | (Continued From Our Last leeue) | CHAPTER VIL | A Different Sort of Man | | ing Bill sald again, “What are you doing, wandering the Your teeth a Ht the love of Mike around tn Good Lord! ing | Even tn her fea: |night, the ctreumstar woods at night? chatter.

Roaring Bill made no reply, bot stood back, and when her feet touched solid earth he turned away, and Hazel saw him stooping here and there. In no time he was back with an armful of dry stuff, and had a small blaze. AW it grew he piled on larger sticks till the bright flame waved two feet high, lighting up the nearby woods He paid no attention to Hazel until she came timidly up to the fire. “Then he looked up at her with his whimstoal smile. “That's right,” he said; “come on and get warm.
