bers of your honorable body, there would have been an ansry protest by the later ~

The following fs un excorpt fron the Lincoln Days 1898, addroas of Mr.
Justice Brower, GOVERNMENT AY INJUNCTION (1898) 15 Nat. Corp. Rep. 849, taken from
tne Harve rd Law Reviow, December, 1927, page 164:
"It is . mistake to supposo that the Supreme Court is either
honored or helped by baing spoken of as beyond criticism. On
the centrary, the fife and character of its justices should be
the objects of sanstont wateafulness by all, ond its judgments
subject to the freast criticism. The time ts past in the —
history of thu world when any living man or body of men oan be
set on a pedestal and deccrated with a halo. True, many
criticisms may be, Like their outhors, devoid of good taste,
bt om or Bae +h.
Dut better att 30% ts of oriticiem than no oriticism at all.
The moving W.lers are full of life and healthy only in the still
wreters is starnat ion and death,"
