and were interested In, and now they
shouted to him to go on. 1t was spread
abroad over the third floor Of the
%statehouse that some one was making
a big speech in the senate, and rep.
resentatives came rushing over from
the house. The correspondents Of the
Chicago newspapers came over also
to see II the Associated Press man In
the senate was getting he speech
down fully. All the space on the floor
was soon crowded. and the applause
shook the desks and made the glass
prisms on the chandeliers jingle. The
lieutenant governor tapped from time
to time with his gavel, but he did 1t
perfunctorily, as though he enjoyed
the applause himself, as vicariously
expressing his own feelings; his eyes
twinkled until it seemed that, were It
not for certain traditions, he would
join in the delighted laughter that
made up most of the applause.
Once a page came to Vernon with a
glass of water, and as he paused to
wipe his brow and to sip from the
glass, he glanced again at Maria
Greene. Her face was solemn and a
wonder was growing in her eyes. Be.
side her sat old Doc" Ames, scowling
fiercely and strOking his long white
beard. There were sharp cries of Go
on! Go on"
But Vernon, not accustomed to
thinking on his feet. as takers love to
phrase it. and having stopped, could
not instantly go on, and that awkward
halt disconnected him. He was con-
scious that the moments were slipping
by. and there were other things
many other things-that he had in.
tended to say; but these things cvaded
him-loated off, tantalizingly, out Of
reach. And so, for refuge, he rushed
on to the conclusion he had half
formed in his mind. The conclusion
was made up mostly from a toast TO
which he had nee responded while in
college, entitled Tho Ladies'" The
words cane back to him readily
enough; he had only to apply them a
little differently and to change his
figures. Thus it was easy to work up
to a panCgyric in which Illinois stood
up as a beautiful woman leading her
sister states up 10 new nclSnlS OF
peace, of virtue and of concord. He
had a rapt vision of this woman, by
her swee and gentle influence settling
all disputes and bringing heaven down
to earth at last.
The senate was in raptures.
This is the face he cried, "that
launched a thousand ships and burned
the toplcss towers of llium!' . . .
she is wholly like in feature to the

on. Age cannot wither, nor custom

He was growing weary. He already
showed the Impressive exhaustion Of
the pcroration. He had sacrificed a col.
lar and drunk all the water from his
glass. He fingered the empty tumbler
for a moment. and then lifted it on
high while he said:

her hand and put back her hair with
that pretty mannerism of hers; then
impulsivcly resting her arms on the
table before her. she would eagerly
read the long columns through, while
her mother reminded her that her
breakfast was getting cold. How
proud she would be of him! She
would never chide him again; she
would see that at last he had found

AGAIN The LAWYERS VIEW OF IT.

Judge Charlesc. Black in the Jersey City Journal presents reasons. from his
standpoint as a lawyer and judge, why the judiciary amendment should be
adopted. Judge Black sees n reason why a member of the judiciary should not
take part in the campaign for the amendment, inasmuch. IS he says, II lie not
a political partisan issue. AS 1t was testified to 1t the meeting of he STATE Bar
Association that the judiciary amendment was for tn betterment OF the po-
4sdon, there might be other reasons dencacy about making a campaign. The
bar association itself RETAINED from Lending itself to advocacy of the amends
fent Judge Blacks personal views are those of many lawyers, but not, by
any means those of all lawyers. There is a conflict of opinion in he legal pro-
Msdon. as was made evident at Atlantic City. If plausible reasons can De urged
by lawyers skilled in reasoning in favor OF h amendment. g plausible reason-
ing win be found opposed. But Judge Black and other supporters of the
judiciary amendment cannot make In Roadway in their arguments unlesst they
recognize and rdue the serious lay objections to the proposed change Nor
will the nere rehearsal Of alleged benefits by the amendment dc. All proposed
changes in government are heraIded by promised dement's to the people. 1t is
perfectly easy. as well as safe. to make claims for the amendment that will
