in the rooms below who are employed
upon the public records. Some Of these
young women have Jacks or Williams
from whom a whole days parting
seems all too long, and to such the
telephone in the lawyers room is a
blessed relief. What matter is it that
sometimes learned counsel have been
known to wait five or ten minutes or
more for pretty girls to have done with
chattering? When Cupid gets the
phone, in the lawyers room, law and
other prosy business very properly
waits for Cupids business to be done.

Following the announcement that
Edwin H. Lemare, the famous Eng
lish organist, had accepted the position
of organist al Carnegie Hall, Pitts
burg. Pa, comes the news that the
labor organizations of that city protest
against Mr.. Lemare as an alien. The
city of Pittsburg pays the salary of
the organst, hence the protest against
the employment of the Englishman.
II is to be hoped that merit will win
in this case, for the fact that a man
is TO receive $4,000 year from the city
Of Pittsburg should relate to the mans
fitness for the position, and not to the
accident of his birth. Pittsburg wants
the hest man obtainable at that salary
and finds that Mr.. Lemare is that man.
This should settle the case, since the
great organist has accepted the offer.
