governor was such as to afford the
latter a most penetrating insight into
the character of his subordinate. The
governor has acquired some prestige
for the unvarying excellence of his
appointments to important positio is,
and there can be no suspicion that his
usual good judgment has failed him
in this instance.
As an ethical proposition, it may
excite some comment that the gov
ernor has chosen for the chief justice
ship a man who has progressed but
two years beyond the fortieth mile
pot, and has had no experience on
the bench. It may mean a wiping out
of traditions in that respect. It will
provide a test as to whether or not
advanced age and judicial experienc
are really essential to the quick and
effective administration of justice
Although Mr. Morrissey is beyond
the age at which Dr. Osier would have
chloroformed him as an incumbrance
in the prosecution of life's activities,
he is still young enough to show what
the infusion of young blood into the
supreme court may do toward hasten
ing judicial processes. The opportun
ity is up to him to demonstrate what
virility may do toward speeding up
judicial machinery.
Among lawyers nobody stands any
betto- than Mr. Morrissey, and large
profession influence was exerted in
his be half by attorneys in every quar
ter of the state. This would probably
have been of slight consequence, how
ever, if the governor had not known
the gentleman so well 'and had not
enjoyed such superior opportunities to
measure his capacity and fitness for
the place. It is impossible to con
jecture that his associates on the
bench can fail to find him companion
able, as well as capable, and wholly
free from the impulses that friction
among the members of such an or
ganization as the supreme court too
often creates.
