District Attorney Jerome, OF
New York, Finds Fault
With Roosevelt
HITS AT CRITICISM OF JUDGE
Thinks President Was in the Wrong
When He Attacked tho Decision of a
Federal Judge in the Case Of the
Packers of Chicago = Addresses
Southern Bar.

feature of yesterdays program of the
Georgia Bar Association convention
was the address of William Travers
Jerome, district attorney of New York,
who took as his subject, Public
Opinion The address was received
with great enthusiasm by the 500
Georgia lawyers in attendance.
j. H. Blount, former judge advocate
of the Philippines, discussed the atti-
tu1e of the United States to the Philip
pine possessions criticizing the policy
of retaining the islands, and, urging
that the Filipinos should be given their
place among the nations of the earth.
In the course of his address Mr.. Jer-
ONE referred to President Roosevelt's
criticism of a United States court
judge, saying:
There is one injustice which public
opinion not infrequen'tly does, and 1t is
one which lawyers can do much to COR
rect, and that is the criticism Of judges
for decisions which they could not
avoid making If they obeyed the law.
The recent spectacle of the nations
chief executive, himself not a lawyer,
criticising in a public document a
federal Judge for his decision on point
Of law, has not, l believe, commended
itself to our profession. The laws are
our laws Public opinion made them
and can change them. Every citizen
has a right to criticize them and seek
tha ~ 1N.hi1n
they are our laws we want our judges
to obey them and not substitute for
them something they deem in accord
with thing so mutable and so diff
cult to ascertain as public opinion. The
soundness Of a judges legal judgment
and the wisdom of a, particular law
may we'll be called in question. but an
honest decision should not expose the
judge himself to criticism"
In the beginning Mr. Jerome said
there are men, guided by a high sense
of duty, who will do and continue to
do their duty as they see it, regardless
of the majority opinion, which we call
public opinion, but with great
effort and depression. Further discus
sing public opinion, Mr. Jerome said:
''In many parts of the country and
especially in our great cities a mans
ability to command hearing must
largely depend upon the newspapers
and it is by them that the greatest JUS
tice and some times the greatest in
justice is done. If public opinion is the
greatest single force in our public life,
surely the newspaper is comparably
the greatest factor in its forma ton and
spread"
Jerome discussed at some length the
part lawyers should take In influence
ing public opinion.
With the almost unlimited and ex-
tending power of public opinion" he
said, our duty grows greater and
more clearly defined. If right minded
men do not form and direct it others
will. All public welfare depends upon
its being wise and progressive and not
revolutionary. To make it such we
often incur it's wrath, hard as it is to
bear, but when We are brave, right,
and honest we may count confidently
on it's coming to u.s.

the affairs of the Prudential the capita;
would never be increased above w.
100000 and the dividends never above
10 per cent on that amount.
The witness was examined along the
lines of his statements before the
Armstrong committee in New York,
and some of his assertions We're gone
into more fully than on that occasion.
He said that the Prudential company
had contributed $4,000 to the repuoll-
can national committee in 1895, in l9oU
had contributed $4,000. and again IN
1904 had given $4,000.
Senator, do you think 1t was right
to give the policy holders money away
for campaign purposes?" asked State
Senator Minturn.
The policy holders never had one
cent of interest in that money. 1t be-
longed to the shareholders" replied the
witness.
How do you discriminate? You
have testified that the surplus beionged
to the policy holders and not to the
stockholders"

the policy holders was voted to them

PATTERSON TO STUDY FARMING
He Intends to Take Course in Agri-
culture at Wisconsin University.

culture at Wisconsin University.
Chicago, July 20-Joseph Medill Pat
terson is; planning to learn how to run
a farm. He intends to take a course
in agriculture at the University of
Wisconsin next winter. Whether he
will become farmer is another ques-
ton, according to Mr.. Patterson-one
that he has not answered to himself
yet. But he admits it is possible that
he may settle down to the joys of the
simple life when he has learned enough
about it. While studying the chemistry
of soils and the nutritive value Of fod-
der, Mr.. Patterson may write book
on socialistc subjects or along social
istic lines.
Yes, j think l shall take a winter
course in agriculture at the University
of Wisconsin, said Mr.. Patterson,
when asked about the matter last night
at his home in Lake Forest. Il don't
know about buying a farm; that's a
matter to be decided later. l haven't
any plans for one yet. There are a
good many possibilities for me. My
only object in taking the course at
Madison is to know something about
farming. 1t is subject that interests
me greatly. AS to writing the book. l
ihave no plans yet Some of my friends
are urging me to write one, and ! may
do so, if l. can find time to learn some
German and dip into the literature of
socialism. It's mostly in German, you
know
According to one of Mr. Patterson's
friends who is prominent in the labor
world he has lately been talking about
buying a farm of several thousand
acres in Illinois as soon as he shall
complete his course in agriculture at
the University of Wisconsin.

States Senator John r. Dryden inform
ed the state insurance investigating
committee that he was worth every
cent of his salary of $4,000 a year as
president of the Prudential Life Insur-
ance Company. Senator Dryden was
witness before the committee and was
asked if he did not think that his and
other large salaries paid officials OF the
company tended toward extravaganza.
His reply was:
ability commands price, and every
big enterprise in the country is look
ing for men who can achieve"
Senator Dryden said that since 1887
$6,5OO,000 Of the surplus of the Pru-
dental had been turned over to policy
holders, but that the company was not
bound to give one cent. He declared

time we bagged school and tore my dress try
ing to climb a tree?'
Clifford looked in astonishment at the still face
of the medium. "Yes,'' he gasped, 'I do"
"You pay strict attention to business now,
don't you? You don't run away from your duties
you used to, do you? Since | came over here
you have taken to speculating good deal. It's
a bad thing, Arthur The stock exchange is
very treacherous, and you are just as likely to
lose money to make it. There is one deal
that you are mixed up in that I'd like to warn
you about. Didn't you buy ten thousand shares
of X, S. on a margin this morning."
Clifford started again eyes, did, he ad-
mitted.
"You had better sell out soon as the mar

some breakfast he went down town.
About half-past nine he called up Snyder, his
broker.
'Is that you, jim? Fine thank you. As soon
as the market opens | want you to sell out those
ten thousand shares of X. S. you bought for
me yesterday. What's that? I'll lose money?
Well. I'll lose more money if | don't Never

He hung up the receiver, and went back to
his work in much better frame of mind About
an hour later the telephone bell rang, and he
answered it to find that it was his daughter.

''Sent my trunks to your house" she repeated
"I have left Richard"
''Left Richard!" The memory of the mediums
prophecy sent cold chill down his back What
did you do that for?"
"He isn't true to me-" she sobbed. "After

Again the tone changed 'How is Mary? When

The voice ceased The medium stirred, trem.

face twitched, and then her eyes opened.

ooh, yes, l had forgotten" said Clifford con-
fusedy.
He paid her, and they went out.
"Wel what did you think of her?" asked
Clifford, as soon as they were on the street.
Rubbish replied Stella.
''But she knew our names and lot about
u.s." insisted her father.
"Guess work"
"But she couldn't have guessed names" /"
'You can't make me believe there's anything
in it," she said positively. 'No woman could

believing that spirits had any thing to do with it,
why, that's sheer nonsense, l can't explain it,
but l know there must be some natural explana-
ton to it,
Her father however did not dismiss the matter
so easily After he had taken his daughter
home, instead of going to his own house he spent
the night Walking about the streets and think
ing the matter over. He reasoned that there GER
tainly must be something in it, because she had
given their names, the length of time his daugh-
ter had been married, and that little, insignif,
cant event of the common childhood of himself
and his sister. True she had not given his last
name but then that was a very small point.
She had mentioned his speculation of the morn
ing, giving correctly the names of the stock and
the number of shares She had not stated at
what figure he had bought them, but then one
could not expect her to know everything.
If she had known the past well, why might
she not know the future also? Was there any

nothing to encourage such belief

...,,,s n me that if we have come this far, we
might as well go on"
s.But she might tell us something we dldnt

s.Nonsense'' laughed Stella. How could she
nossiby know anything about us?'
..I think it's very likely that she would know
lot about MS Some of these mediums are pretty
good, you know"
.And some of them are impostors,' she added,
shrewdly "Well, if you don't want to go IN,
/ suppose we can turn around and go pacK, only
that seems foolish when we have come so far
sI guess it would be foolish" he agreed. Look
here, Stella, suppose we toss up penny!
IAN right and she laughed again. Really,
mana you act Just like boy; nobody would
think that you were old enough to have daugh-
ter married
Tails we go in, heads stay out, said Cliff
ford. He tossed up the coin as he spoke, and
caught it deftly as it fell. ''lails!' he cried.
That settles it.
Still laughing, Stella followed her father up the
steps He rang the bell, and moment or two
later they were admitted to the darkened wait
ing ROOM The girl looked about her curously,
the man in an awestruck way. Neither spoke.
Presently the servant returned and said that
Madame would receive tnem. Accordingly
they followed her down a passage way
to room where the curtains were closely drawn
and where Madame was waiting for them,
She was a neatly dressed, quietlooking woman,
as they perceived when their eyes became ac-
customed to the gloom, and she was seated in
an arm chair beside table.
''Will you please be seated% Her voice was
low and deep, and seemed to be in keeping with
the unpretentious character of her appearance.

some friend ON the other side?"
Clifford bowed
,'Very we'll. Ii you will be SO kind as to wait
few moments until my trance becomes deep
enough, the spirit that desires to communicate
with you will come and take control"
She settled herself more comfortably in her
chair letting her head rest against the high back
muscles of her face twitched and her fingers
shook her whole body, and all was quiet.
Almost Immediately voice much deeper than
the one they had previously heard issued from
Clifford started "Yes," he managed to reply
Cor Arthur was his Christian name.
oAnd that is Stella with you, isn't itY She
vent on. 'Her name now s-et me see-I know
Il but / can't say it-Cheston- -no-Weston Yves

II was Stea's turn to start now "How die

whisper.
