Settling Bankrupt Estates.

In relation to settlement OF the
complex affairs Of the Waggaman es-
tate. efforts are being made 10 have
three attorneys elected as trustees.
These efforts arise among the attor-
neys representing various interests.
A correspondent sends in the sug-
gestion that one Of the trustees be a
business man OF acknowledged stand
ing, preferably one familiar with real
~ values. The suggestion is worthy
OF being considered.
The proposition Is a general one.
and may be regarded quite apart from
connection with the specific ease men
toned. Often it happens that the
estate OF a deeedent or a bankrupt
fails into the hands OF lawyers.

Reform in Norfolk.

Norfolk. Va, has awakened 10 the
discovery that the State Legislature,
processing merely to make the statute
laws OF the State harmonic with
the new constitution of the State,
has discontinued the open sessions Of
the Norfolk city council. Ordinarily
such action would stamp every man
who voted for il as the tool of graft
ers and thieves. The difficulties OF
good municipal government are every
where so difficult, even with press and
public watching the city officials in
cessantly, that the removal of any
safeguard becomes a calamity. This
instance, however, has this remark
able characteristic-the cessation of
the open meetings appears to be the
work OF reformers.
in support Of this cOurse-and il is
evident that the argument carried
weight with the Virginian legislators
it is said that no member OF the
Norfolk council dare fight the gam
blers and thugs OF the city in the
open. With doors closed, the men
who have assumed the responsibility
OF purgiag the local government ex-
pect to night Just as vigorously rs men
ever could in public sessions and avert
the complications which would follow
bitter personal attacks from the
ring"
Municipal reformers who expect TO
achieve real reform are in a mighty
doubtful situation when they closet
the city council. Whatever needs TO
be kept secret can be kept secret in
other ways-thrOugh committee meet
ings or conferences with the officers
OF the law. The course OF the council
ought 10 be adopted in the open. II
its members choose not to explain
their votes. nothing is clearer than
that they can vote without making
speeches. On the contrary, fewer
speeches and more work would help
almost any reform in the world.
Real reform stands for honesty and
traightfOrwardness above everything
else. It stands for manliness exactly
as enlightenment stands for deceit. 1t
cannot thrive on secret sessions.
There have been secret sessions
enough here in Washington without
reforming anythings but once the
courts begin an inquiry openly
honestly, thoroughly, results follow
as sure as tate. But the worst mis-
take, as the case appeals to outsiders
is that these Norfolk refOrmers
stopped to the methods Of grafters in
order 10 amend the city charter
There is not much encouragement for
good government. in a reform. con
Quoted on such lines.

To Promote COurtesu

In Chicago there IS a club the stated
purpose Of which IS 70 promote polite
ness "and a more accurate and digni-
fed use Of the mother tongue.
Of course, the careless viii make
fun Of the organization, but only that
they are careless. The object IS to be
highly commended. II there is any
thing particularly lacking in most ur-
ban life, it is a fine sense Of courtesy.
People are thrown into intimate con-
tact. and this seems to harden them
to the influence Of the amenities.
They are showed and jostleds and
they shove and jostle in return, until
after a brief course OF experience they
are ready to become the aggressors IN
such episodes.
Perhaps there is nowhere else in
the world a crowd more grossly impO-
lite than that which leaves New York
for Brooklyn every evening. Com
pared with this herd the swine rush
ing violently down a steep place into
the sea must be regarded as a lesson
in restful Quietude. Yet the scenes
or Brooklyn bridge are produced on
some scale ia every city of the land
There are thousands of ways in
which discOuTtesy is displayed, and
there is no utility in an attempt to
mention them all. One that suggests
itself is the attitude toward an appli-
cant for work. Most people have to
work. Some do not, and these are
poor tramps or rich lOafers. Yet
f when a man asks for work often he is
/ received exactly as though be was
/ bagging the price of a meal, and his
/ approach constituted an affrOnt. This
7 is not only a rUdeness, but it is fool
F ism. In all probability the man who
/ is asked for work could, if he would,
/ remember the time when apprehen-
I sive of rebuff he had sought a posi-
+ ton. and that while he may at last
/ have obtained the position. he get
many a preliminary insult. The
f chances are that he got these from in
dividuaIs proud Of being known as
/ self-made, and ready to give advice
One marked style of impoliteness
/ among women is the habit of staring

their eyes upon the latest conner, and

Respect for the Dead.

Eagerness TO perform an autopsy is
manifest as often as a subject hap
pens TO be available. In the majority
OF instances nothing is learned from
the operation. II is made 10 satisfy
some formal demand in relation TO
the inquest. q function of the coroner,
who is himself superduOus. The
formal verdict OF the coroner is not
OF any value that has been deter
mined. It is given little weight in
courts Of law. It neither clears nor
condemns G suspected person. Gen
orally, the facts made of record at an
inquest are all known in advance.
Taking the case OF a man killed by
being crushed under an overturned
car Why should there be an autopsy.
The man is seen TO enter the car, in
ordinary health. A few moments
later he is taken from beneath il,
crushed ana dying. or already dead.
That there IS the slightest occasion
FOR mutiiating q body already cruelty
manned does not appear TO the lay
mind just what ribs have been
broken, what organs torn, are details
distressing to contemplate, and abso-
lutely useless 10 know.
In legal processes much attention is
paid 20 technical matters, for the sake
Of precision and hnalty. However,
this tendency can be carried 10 an exc
tent that makes il seem ridiculous
T. is a safe presumption that a man
caught by the fun weight OF a many
ton car pressing him 20 the ground
dies from the experience. To cut his
body open IN order TO verify this
theory really shows little else than q
lack OF respect for the dead.

ISOLATION, IL seems, does not look on
the project with favor and there is
little reason TO think that the mer-

The purpose Of the plan would seem
to be this That Columbia Heights,
Mount Pleasant, Lanier Heights, and
Holmead Manor may combine forces,
unite their influence on behalf of the
whole district they represent several
Iy, and obviate unnecessary meetings
A similar union was accomplished a
year or two ago by the BIOOmlngdaIe
and lie Dr0it Park Associations and
those bodies obtained added strength
thereby. This is known TO the resi-
dents of Mount Pleasant. of course,
and the presumption is that some of
them have been impressed by il.
Everyone interested In these citi-
zens' associations must have observed
their comparative failure TO meet
their responsibilities. Many of them
have accomplished important munich
pal improvements. Brightwood, East
Washington, Takoma Park, the
Northeast, and other sections of the
District have material proof of that.
But they have given very little of
their influence to the District as a
whole.
This movement In Columbia
Heights is a step 10 increase the use

tempt TO represent that district Their
membership would be imposing. The
number OF their influential members
would be multiplied. There would be
fewer officers and less routine OF Of

deal clearer in Congressional ears.
