AGED LADY SUSTAINS BAD
INJURIES IN FALL.

Mrs Kiel an aged lady residing on
New York Ave, WAS seriously injured
last Thursday night in falling down a
flight Of stairs at her home. The acci
dent resulted in the fracturing of both
legs, one at the hip and the other at the
lower part of the thigh. She also broke
n finger and sustained bruises about the
body. In view of her advanced age the
serious character of the injuries she
suffered in the fall renders her condition
critical and her recovery precarious.

TIE GREAT CLUTTER IN"

Assemblyman b. A. Merritt, jr,, who
is a candidate for speaker OF the New
York house, bitterly resents President
Rooseve}1's action in openly <espousing
the candidacy OF another assembiyrnan.
FOR that Office. He says he has re-
ceived letters saying that Charles I
had his head cut off for less. and adds
that the presidents interference inNew
York is part Of his plan to secure con
of the party organization in other
states.
Mr. AIerritts resentment is natural
and his statement that the president
wants to control other state machines
seems reasonable. Yet Mr.. Roosevelts
action is a perfectly natural one for
him. If ever a man aspired to be SUI
preme dictator Of a party and a nation
that man is Theodore Roosevelt. IN
making this statement we do not lose
sight Of the fact that the president has
many admirable qualities and that In
personal popularity he far exceeds any
president the country has ever had.
If Mr.. Roosevelt viii take the advice
Of his best friends, or rather, If hts best
friends VIII be brave enough to give
him sound advice, they VIII tell him
that he is certain to lose his popularity
if he continues TO NEEDLE in purely 10
cal politics. There is no precedent for
his actions. We have never had n
president who was not content to ham
die the affairs OF the general govern
ment at Washington and let the state
politicians look after their own indi-
vidual bailiwioks. They have felt that
they had enough to DO at Washington.
Mr.. Roosevelt is q very remarkable
man, remarkably big in some things,
remarkably little in others. We viii
shed no tears if he smashes the Re-
publican party in New York, in Ohio
and wherever else he chooses 10 med
die. Such a smash we could not pos
sibly regard as a disaster to the coun-
try, because we have yet TO be con-
WINGED that the greatness Of the coun-
try and the success of the Republican
party are one and inseparable.
We are convinced, though, that Mr..
Roosevelt is attempting to establish
very dangerous precedent. He should
attend strictly to the business for
which the people pay him and let the
small bore politicians work out their
own salvation. or destruction.

-6ne of the finest lessons in. temper
Hpce that has ever come within our
. knowledge is placed before us by an
+ eastern contemporary. A newly mar
ried- couple had secured a paragon Of
$ a cook. So good was the.Idtchen deity
GIlat the couple concluded to give
dinner. They did. It was a most elab-
crate dinner. but. contrary to the US
Ial custom in that household. not

served with the various delicious
courses
After the guests had gone the hus-
band asked the wife to explain her
sudden conversion to the cause Of to-
tai abstinence. for he knew the cellar
was plenufuIly stocked with liquid re-
freshments Of all kinds. The wife ex-
planned that the cook had set her foot
down on the proposition. Il am a to-
tai abstainer, num-" said the paragon.
''If you serve wine here 1 viii have to
leave you MY conscience win not per
NIT me TO cook for anybody that has
wine at dinner"
What could the poor housekeeper do?
Naturally enough, when it came to a
question Of cook or wine. the cook be-
ing a paragon, as we have said. it was
the wine that had 10 go. Can You

TIE HUMMEL CASE.

In his talk for the prosecution in the
Abe HummeI case in New York, Dis
trict Attorney Jerome characterized the
defendant as For twenty years a men
ace to public decency." The rebuke was
a singing one and there is little doubt
that, in this case Of a lawyer who has
been convicted of procuring false affi-
davits on which to set aside decree of
divorce, the man upon whom it was
visited deserved it. Hummel has for
many years been regarded as the trick
lest lawyer in all New York. and that
IS saying a good deal.
He has never hesitated at the use Of
any means to gain his end and there
will be no regret over the fact that
justice has at last oVertaken him
With appeals to higher courts and
other movements for delay, he may be
able to stay out of prison for a time,
but Jerome is a relentless prosecutor,
once aroused, and he may be depend
ed upon TO see TO it that Hummel
eventually serves out the year in Jail
to which he has been sentenced.
There is a lot of satisfaction for the
public in this case. And there should
be a lot of satisfaction in It for the
great majority Of the legal profession.
There is no doubt that the percentage
Of dishonest lawyers is very small
Nearly all of them are honest, con-
scientious men, who would not stoOp TO
anything that could be called dishon-
orable. But the public has lately be-
come educated to the notion that the
chief object in employing attorneys is
TO enable the client to break the law
in a perfectly legal manner, If we may
be permitted the apparent paradox.
Some lawyers have made It their
business TO see how close to the line
they can steer their clients, their re-
wards being prOportionate to their
proximity to the line. And they teach
their clients how TO evade the law;
how TO construe 1t to suit their own
purposes. These are the practices that
bring the entire legal profession into
contempt and nobody should be more
jealous in securing the punishment of
offenders than the lawyers themselves.
AS often as they step across the line
and get out into the open, as Hummel
did. no amount Of money or influence
should be permitted to save them.
