tice Taney, who leaned toward strict construction to a greater degree than his distinguished predecessor, was more interested in the preservation of individual liberty and less interested in the preservation of property rights. He is best known in connection with the famous Dred Scott decision, which, intended to allay sectional strife by removing the question of slavery exten- sion from politics, had the effect of further inflaming the North and hasten- ing the coming of the Civil War. In the midst of that great conflict Chief Justice Taney died, and Presi- dent Lincoln appointed in his place Salmon Portland Chase, who was born in 1808 in New Hampshire, but who had settled in Ohio. Chase was edu- cated at Dartmouth and Cincinnati College. After serving as Governor and United States Senator he became Lincoln’s first Secretary of the Treas- ury. As head of the Treasury Department he put “In God We Trust” on our coins; as Chief Justice he gave us a popular saying which is quoted almost daily. In a letter dated May 1 7, 1 866, to Horace Greeley, he wrote : “The way to resumption is to resume.” He has been the only Chief Justice to preside over the Senate during the impeachment trial of a President of the United States. Chase’s death occurred in 1873 and President Grant chose to succeed him Morrison Remick Waite (1816-1888), who was born in Connecticut and who was educated at Yale, but who settled in Ohio. Upon Waite’s death in 1888 President Cleveland appointed Melville Weston Fuller (1888-1910) to succeed him. Fuller was a native of Maine and a graduate of Bowdoin, but had gone to Chicago and plunged into an active legal and political career. He has been the only Chief Justice who was small physically, all his predeces- sors and successors thus far having been tall and large men. A natural politician, thoroughly acquainted with the changing industrial conditions of his day, he was perhaps the best business head the Court has ever had.
