 THE GREEN BAG the enduring monuments of his eloquence and power in defense of innocence and in advocacy of right. And shall his wand be forever broken, and shall its fragments lie forever scattered on his grave? May not it be said of you, my young brethren, members of his own profession, in this land more favored than

his, in its clime more congenial to free speech, on its richer soil, doubly consecrated to the genius of universal freedom, those shining words, which were said of him, and said of yore to Philip Sidney: "We listen, it is true, to others, but we give up our hearts to thee." MT. AIRY, GA., August, 1908.

CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL BY HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE As one whose vision seemed inspired, he Looked out across the centuries and saw The Great Republic. In what pride and awe He must have held the mighty years to be, Else how could he have planned so deep, so free, So all encompassing? From scant and raw Supply he shaped the highways of our law Whereon the millions tramp their destiny. O, great Chief Justice 1 Could the pioneers Who deemed thy concept of our State too vast Look now adown the vista of the years, Would they not stand in silence, all aghast, Seeing thy dream's fulfillment, and thy name Brighter and dearer, hallowing with fame? CAMBRIDGE, MASS., November, 1908.
