SMALL CROWD TO
HEAR TEMPLEITES
They talk of Cooperation
and Socialism to Court
house Audience.

When an ainment-something
besides brass band or q medicine
shows advertised as free. with 10
collection to be taken, it is pretty sure
that few persons will venture, espe-
cially of a Saturday night. This was
proved painfully true Saturday night,
when Sydney Newnes Hillyard and
Grace Tanquary Hillyard spoke to
handful of Ell Pasoans at the court
house
But if the masses had been there, the
two strange visitors would have talked
far over many heads, so, perhaps, it
was better so. Mr.. and Mrs. Hillyard
are apostles of the socalled new
thought, members OF the Temple Co
operative colony, of Halcyon, Cal. and
their joint talk, before that handful OF
citizens, was perhaps the best thing
of its kind ever heard in FL Paso.
Those who expected to find freaks in
the persons Of the two tempeHtes were
disappointed. They were dressed as Or
binary mortals, but spoke, not as ordI-
nary mortals, but in the most perfect
of English. Mr.. Hillyard, a young
Englishman, Is college man, ar
elbows it. His wife is a former Dem
newspaper woman, Of the intellectual
type of woman without the eccentricll
his nalr was nOl long, nor was 0eI
hair short.
The Hillyards did not occupy more
than an hour of the minute audiences
time. But they said a great deal in
a quiet, modest ANY, without any way
ing of hands, or loud exortations. They
only touched in a general way on the
creeds of the so persons composing the
Temple colony, of their belief in SYM
bolism, in cooperation of life, of tele-
pathy. Nothing that was said would
jar upon the average thinker of today,
except, perhaps, a few, predictions,
which, through their explanations,
were possible enough.
Although they did not explain about
themselves personally, Mr.. Hillyard is
conductor of the educational work of
the temple. His wife edits one of the
colony periodicals. He is Socialist.
She is an Episcopalian. BY this it
may be seen that the Temple destroys
no individuality, in which 1t differs
from other colonization attempts of the
age. The Hillyards are making a tour
at their own expense. They do not
ask people to join their colony Their
work. they explain. is more of a gen.
eral educational campaign to encour-
age people to think, especially Of the
cooperation OF life.
The Hillyards did not appear to be
discouraged by their almost failure in
FL Paso. They seemed quite content
to talk to the few. In all their unique
appearance may be summed up in the
word refreshing"

it. The mayor wanted to ride, but
Turney and Burgess declined to let
him. But now. he said. Capt Braek

keeping close to him to keep from get
ting their feet wet.
E. T. Moore's toast was THE FL Paso
Bar" Mr.. Moore let it be understood
that the bar of which he was speaking
was composed of the legal fraternity.
He said that he believed the bar needed
no defence. He said he was one of the
younger members of the bar whose
trials and tribulations were due chiefly
TO the lack of trials. He paid tribute
TO the men who had blaZed the way Of
the legal profession in FL Paso and TO
those who had followed in their foot
steps.
Judge EyIar Speaks.
Then came county Judge a. 8. Eylar,
who it is noticed, has dropped one Of
his initials. He said in replying to the
toast, Respect for the Court: In
these strenuous times of reforms, hold
ing court is, for a county Judge, re-
taxation, as a county judge in these
days in Texas must be an expert in
removing boils, bunions and ingrown
toenaiIs and recently people had gone
to him to have teeth extracted. He said
that he did not believe it necessary to
speak of respect for the court, for he
knew that such respect had prevented
bloodshed. even though judge Falvey
had once adjourned court to see what
would happen. He further said that
it had been remarked that the time
would come when lawyers. instead Of
studying the law in the case would
ascertain the tastes Of the judge pre-
siding and then propose a toast to the
judge who agrees with u.s."
GOggin on Justice.
Former judge J. NJ. Goggin was called
upon to reply to the toast, Lawyers,
Ministers Of Justice, Not Injustice" He
said: 1T grieves me TO think that
lawyers will, even in a spirit of jest,
say that their business is to serve the
interests of their clients regardless o.
Justice, for the first business of a law
yer is to see that justice is done and
then to serve his client. There never
was a greater falIacy uttered than the
voice Of the people is the voice of Cod

the lawyers bow to the opinions Of
the courts show that they are good
citizens.
Il was originally chosen to answer to
the toast, The Older Members OF the
Bar and I want TO pay tribute to them.
1 know that young lawyers sometimes
know more laws than the older mem
bers. 1t is really wonderful the know
ledge the young lawyers have. 1 know
they know these things because I have
examined them recently.
"a lawyer should never forget that
he is a member of the noblest profess
sion in life and lawyers have accom-
plished more for this country than all
the other professions combined"
Capt. Brack Heard From.
This was the last toast on the pro-
gram, but was insufficient TO satisfy
the appetites Of those who like to hear
others talk nearly as well as they like

Seventh Annual Banquet Of
Ell Paso Bar Association
Attended Largely on Sat
urday Night.

Seven years ago, so the story goes,
difficulty was experienced in securing
a Jury in the saith district court, SO
II jurors were chosen from among
members of the legal profession and to
fill the twelfth seat. Charles Beisswen-
ger. who used TO serve them Dutch
lunches, was accepted, and they rem
dered verdict, but none of them seem
to remember what the verdict was.
However. they were paid for their
service and received scrip for their
labors. Now lawyers are not used to
handling scrip and, not knowing what
to do with the paper, decided to pool
IT and have a banquet and so the first
banquet of the Bar association was
started with a scrip fund seven years
ago.
Saturday night at the ST. Regis ho-
tel the Bar association, increased in
numbers more than 20 fold held its
seventh annual banquet. Some of the
old timers were present, but there were
many young, new faces in the midst
of the jolly disciples of Blackstone.
There were speeches, for lawyers love
to talk even as they like to eat, and
some of them were not impartial to
the liquid refreshments served in con-
weighted down the three large tables
In the dining room where president
Taft breakfasted on the memorable oc-
casion of his meeting with president
Diaz--
Capt. BeaII TOasfmaster.
Capt. T. J. Beall presided as toast
master and, unlike his predecessors at
these banquets, did not change his title
TO that of POSTMASTER, for the grid
iron was but little in evidence. He
commenced by telling those present
that he was glad to be present and they
assured him that he was not the only
one. Then he told a story of a Ken
tuckian arrested in Pittsburg, who
was anxious to get back to Kentucky,
where he could fight in peace.
Following this. he spoke of Metho-
dist who had Joined another church,
but objected to the preachers reading
from his notes, saying: IF the preach
er prepares his sermons before hand
the devil will know what he is going to
say and beat him to it; If he just gets
up and speaks as he feels, ne does not
know what he is going to say until he
starts and the devil certainly does not
know what he will say, so the preacher
has the best of it, The inference was
that Capt. Beal1 had not prepared a set
speech; that the devil did not know
what he was going TO say. and he didn't
know what the devil to say.
Young Men Speak.
Robert T. Neill, who has been county
judge on one or two memorable occs-
sions when the regular incumbent has
been absent from the city, replied TO
the toast, The Junior Bar" He said

Address Letters to Society

Baltimore, Nd, Feb. There was
organized last night at the residence
of Theodore Marburg, the American
Society for the Judicial Settlement Of
international Disputes, which will de-
vote itself principally TO issuing ar
ticles by leading men of all countries
on subjects indicated by the title of
the organization and TO organizing
meetings Of national scope in various
parts Of the country from time TO time,
with a view TO educating the people as
TO the desirability Of promoting the
peace of the world by settling points of
international controversy in the same
general way in which differences be-
tween individuals are now settled. In
the meeting the following letters were
read:

your society is to be organized, for, as
you are doubtless aware, I have. in an
Identical circular note, dated Oct. 1S,

Should the identical note be favor
ably received and should the court Of

consenting nations would have a per-
manent international tribunal for the
judicial determination of controversies
arising out of peace as well as war
and ii cannot be doubted that such a
tribunal would, in large measure, rem

My Dear Mr.. Marburg: 1 have learn

Settlement OF international Disputes
THE leaflets which you propose to
publish, together with the meetings of
national scope which you are planning
to hold from time to time, may have a
very great influence on the develop
ment of public opinion in this subject
If the proposed court of arbitral jus
tice at The Hague becomes an accom-
plished fact, there will still remain the
task Of securing the adhesion of a num-
Der of powers to the court and the very
important task of SO cultivating opin-
ton in various countries as to incline
governments to resort to the court
when occasion calls for 1t. There is
no other single way in which the cause
of peace and disarmament can be so
effectively promoted as by the firm es-
adjustment OF a permanent interna-
tiOnal court of justice.
