Judge Parker's Successful Silence
Judee Parker's enemies are magmg
capital out ot his silence on publlo ques-
tions and even his friends are showing
signs of Impatience for soma expression
of his views. Don't you think It to time
for him to speak?"
That was a blunt way ot putting it.
snd If Mr. Littleton had been to the
Brooklyn manner born or tbs New Tork
manner or the Eastern manner gener-
ally he'd have stiffly declined to com-
mit himself. But because he was from
Texaa big breesy Texaa ne was not
afraid to answer according to his lights.
"Judge Parker's continued and suc-
cessful silence." he said la on proof of
the masterly combination Of qualities
which fit him so wsll for the hlgheat
place In tbe land. The atraogth and dig
nity ot pis resolve maintain ea in me
face of the most powerful Inducements
can not be too greatly admired when tha
occasion tor It Is understood. It should
be remembered that he oeouples a great
Judicial plaoe and that he can not be
toe wary about expressing views aa an
Individual on questions which may come
up before blm as a Judge. It he should
not after all be nominated for presi-
dent. It to likely enough that such a
thing might haapen that as chief Judge
f the highest court In the State he
might be called upon to pass upon ques-
tions which are now before tbe public
tn the form of political Issues. In that
ease don't you see how the dignity of
ths Judiciary would suffer and how pub-
lic confidence in It would be Impaired If
the chief Judge of the court of appeals
should have already promulgated his
views on these very questions from a po-

"Don't you consider him a handsome

Mr. Littleton looked atartled at the

a lawyer or toe little of s Texan not to

"Indeed 1 do." ha confessed with sym
pathetic alacrity. "And his personality

"Exactly. That I aa I find It. In

Everything Mr. Littleton bad to say

with no hint ot the spellbinder. He did
not turn on any oratory for my benefit.

He looked startled and tbnughtfur for a

I have mixed up my two conversations

noeo among otner tnings:
'Maud ana the kids came in tnia morn
