ice was broken and in the talks that
ensued the feud was forgotten and they
knew nothing save that they were two
young human beings and that they
loved as two had never loved before
This was the position of affairs when
Jim Brisby got the idea that he ought
to marry Bette Turrell. Jim was one
of the Turrell faction and the beau of
the county, for he owned a moonshin-
ing outfit, a large farm in the low
grounds" and had a dashng manner
with the ladies that swept all before it.
Brisby undertook the conquest of
Betties heart but failed lamentably,
every overture being met with icy re-

pecting that some one else had "cut

n S the result of the conclusions
announced yesterday by the su-
l preme court, the dsbarment
proceedings pending in the case of John
B. Welcome passed beyond their pre-
liminaries, reaching a stage where pres
emily they will be dealt with directly
and by the supreme court itself In
deed, the case would have advanced
yesterday to the point where the plea
Of the accused-guilty or not guilty
would be part of the record but for
the fact that, yesterday, Mr. Well
comes attorney urged that he is out
Of the state on important business.
Mr.. Welcome has been much out Of
the state since the time when the legis-
lature adjourned. Possibly this morn
ing's report of yesterdays proceedings
Will have readers who will wonder al
the accused lawyers absence from the
state at this particular junCture since,
II the affair that has been progress
ing before the supreme court is to be ia
ken seriously, an attorney could hardly
have business more important than
that which involves the possibility of
his own disbarment 1t is a fact. how
ever, that hitherto Mr.. Welcome and
his friends seem somehow not to have
taken these proceedings very seriously.
If one may draw conclusions from what
they have said on frequent occasions
sometimes rather fippantly-they have
not shared the view Of the very large

n loW may wisdom and lucky stars
N and common sense be Elihu
Roots guides! He took the oath
OF office yesterday; he is secretary of
war in time of war
There was a bit of ceremony. yester-
day, when the oath of office was ad-
ministered-a press dispatch refers to
it. Alger was there and Gage and
Meikeljohn and army officers in their
uniforms. The oath was administered
by Judge Cole, of the district supreme
court After this formality General
Alger advanced, shook hands with his
successor and said: with all my
heart I congratulate you and the adj
ministration. You will find around Won
here men who will help in the arduous
duties of your position. May God bless
you and give you strength"
And let all the people say "Amen,"
What this country has sorely needed
is war secretary with strength"
Strength to be a real secretary of war
and not a pseudo as General
Ayers friends aver he had to be,
strength to stand up for the honest
administration of his department;
strength that will enable him to be
blind to the alluring visions of political
possibilities for himself and deaf to
the noisy opportunities of the place
men; strength to eliminate Algerism
from the army of the United States.
There can be no doubt respecting the
sentiment entertained by the Ameri-
can people toward the new secretary
of war-they wish him well. They
want this war ended with credit TO
the country and to its government
Their aspiration is that things military
may prosper in his hands. Secretary
Ayers blunder was in f1attering him
self that he is. and all the while has
been, right and that public opinion is
wrong.
Fatal illusion, If Secretary Root in
herits this sophstry he too will go to
pieces, and that right early. The
American who best serves his country
in public life is the man who, far from
undertaking TO defy public opinion,
aims always to know what the con-
siderate judgment of the people is and
then bends his own policy to that judg-
ment.
At the very outset Secretary Root
has several significant problems TO deal
with. Yet the situation is no hopeless
tangle-it merely presents some confus-
ing aspects They are not above or
beyond the ability of a man of strength.
May it be, in answer to the AIger
prayer, that the Lord will give Elihu
Root strengthen, if that fails, to give
the country another secretary of war
without undue delay.

public in Montana that. in fact, pretty
serious business is in hand
Whatever the notions of these gentle
men may formerly have been, yester-
day was what might with propriety be
described as a pretty solemn day for
them. Not that any step has been taken
that finds Mr. Welcome guilty-on the
contrary, his plea will not be made till
ten days from yesterday. The estat-
lished fact simply is that his case will
be tried-its outcome is wholly in the
future; its sequel is entirely with the
supreme court; and the Montana public
is satisfied to have ii there, prepared to
abide the event. Up to the present
hour the question had been whether
there was to be a trial under the
charges or not
The recent processes hardly need re-
viewing; it developed at the outset that
it was not Mr.. Welcomes preference
that a trial be had and the accusations
thus disposed of. To this end the juris-
dictiOn of the supreme court was chal-
lenged. The event. in this particular,
was a declaration by the supreme court
that its Jurisdiction is ample. There
after, in turn, the court demanded that
the attorney general of the state, by
whom the disbarment proceedings We're
first presented, show the court why, in
disregard of another tribunal the su-
preme court should deal directly with
the charges. Several days ago, the at
torney general presented this aspect of
the case. With the result, as announced
this morning, that the supreme court.
satisfied formerly as to it's jurisdiction,
is now also satisfied as to what We who
are laymen might describe as the
courts duty or function in the matter.
That is to say, all the preliminaries
having been dealt with in prudent
pains taking, the supreme court has de-
termined that it will try the disbarment
case brought against Mr.. Welcome.
1t is a case of highest significance
one whose issues, as matters have pro-
crossed in the court room, have en-
crossed public attention, one whose out
come will be awaited with patience but
with unfailing public interest. In re-
port of what was said and done yester-
day in the court room the Standard
prints an ample summary this morning
wherein the status of the case is fully
set forth and made clear.

Cincinnati, May PA provisional or
ganization of the National Association of
Jewish Charities was made here to-day by
representatives from a dozen states and
from most of the large cities.
This meeting began last Friday, and it's
sessions have been held so as not to con-
f1ict with those of the national conference
of charities and corrections, that began a
weeks session last Wednesday,
AT the morning session to-day the COM
mittee on transient relief made favora BILE
reports on the recommenda tons of Presi-
dent Isaacs and Mr.. Pisko, but the whole
matter of formulating a system for the
relief of transients was referred to the
executive committee.
At the afternoon session DIR. Goldstein
delivered an address on Family Deser-
tion," and a general discussion followed
not only on methods for prevention, but
also on plans for the care of the deserted
women and children This matter was
also referred to the executive committee
A plan for the provisional organization
of the national conference of Jewish char
tiles was adopted AS soon as it is en-
dorsed by the United Jewish Charities of
at least ten cities of over 100000 populat ton
the federation will be a permanent ma
tional organization to meet annually.
AS soon as these ten charter members
are announced then all cities having an
organization of United Jewish Charities
will become eligible to membership in the
national organization without in anyway
affecting the autonomy of their local or
eanizatonS
