Brandeis for Justice of the Supreme Court. ' The country as a whole has had little chance or inclination to take part in the controversy which has raged about this nomination ever since it was announced. But from the discussion the public has, at least formed a fairly clear notion as to who is most opposed to Mr. Brandeis and why. | Mr. Brandeis’s enemies are very powerful enemies. Their power,’ however, is of a sort that has not usually been exerted for any pur-, beyond the careful preservation of itself. Mr. Brandeis is not liked by Wall Street. Mr. Brandeis is not in favor with vested inter-' este fond of hearing themselves called “conservative.” | But if it comes to that, what man has ever been in favor with! these interests who failed to conduct himself toward them as if they were the only part of the country that permanently mattered? The opposition to Mr. Brandeis haa impressed the public—im- d it as being deplorably prejudiced, selfish, un-American. The feeling of the better part of the nation is expressed by President Eliot “Under present circumstances I believe that the rejection by the Senate of his (Mr. Brandeis's) nomination to the Supreme Court would be a grave misfortune for the whole legal profes- sion, the court, all American business and the country.” 1 Unless the Senate misreads or deliberately ignores wider public) sentiment it will permit no such stigma to fall upon its record. RUSSIANS EVERYWHERE. T: Russians are furnishing most of the surprises of the war just now. Not since the lending of Russian troops at Mar- eeilles has the war theatre shown anything eo unexpected as! the “bold and adventurous ride” which brought a Russian cavalry; force from the north in touch with the British army in Mesopotamia. That such a move could be accomplished even on a minor acale would seem to indicate that the Russian Grand Duke is nearer than ever to the realization of his purpose: To ¢ut the Bagdad railway, form with the English an invincible line from the Black Sea to the Tigris and eo nullify once and for all Tur..:eh strength in near Asia. | When this is done—while the French and English keep the Ger-| mans fully occupied on the western war front, what is to prevent! Russian armies from surging, wave after wave, across Germany's cast- ern frontiers? The cost of even attempting to invade Germany from the west may be prohibitive. But her eastern borders are less elab- orately protected. And the Russians now have millions of men, vast; ~ huge nation apparently able to suffocate others by merely stretching ite mighty limbs over them. | No one knows, of course. But it begins to look as though, if any’ conquering army ever does march through the Brandenburg Gate! it over the Prussian bird. OUR CLUBWOMEN GUESTS. HE city is honored this week by the presence of some 20,000 T women delegates and visitors who come to attend the Thir- teenth Biennial Convention of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. ( Not only are most of the States represented by substantial groups, but England, Canada, Cuba and other foreign countries have sent delegates. The main purpose of all is the same: To exchange ideas on club organization, to ubsorb suggestions for making club| work of still greater benefit to the community, to go home and turn} it all to practical account. There will be conferences on Child Welfare Problems, Domestic Service, Tenement House Conditions, Industrial Facts—illustrated with exhibits practical enough to include even models of fire escapes proper for factories and workshops. Agricultural and forestry exhib- its have been sent by the National and State Governments with a special view to showing how the comservation of natural resources helps human life and happine To the interest of women in these things is largely due the fact} that the world to-day is a more comfortable place than it has ever! heen for the average waye-earning man or woman to live in. That the interest is deepening and widening, a gathering like this is con-| vincing proof. The city should do all it can by sympathy and cordiality to help ake the convention a memorable one.
