majority, the prestige of the court will not be
better sustained by suppressing the publication
of these dissenting opinions, which tend to dis
tract the profession and to leave the impression
upon the community that the law, though settled,
is still uncertain
Mr.. Choate unconsciously supplies amusing
commentary the pretense that Jurisprudence IS
science and not less interesting is his desire that
the deliberations of the court should be veied IN
mystery, like the oraces of Delphi or any other
product of huggermuggery If the law is uncertain,
as we know it is, why pretend that it is not? Mr.
Choates contention is that law as interpreted by
the courts should be received on the basis OF
revealed religion and should be treated direct

character of proverbial philosophy.
AN ALARMING PROMISE

Kuhne Beveridge, the beautiful young sculptor,
sculptress, if you like writes alarming letter
to the park commissioners, in which she describes
the scheme of piece of statuary which she has
designed in commemoration of the great fire in
San Francisco. She describes her work in this
wise: by supreme effort a man is upholding him
self from the flames and smoke below With one
hand he holds the hand of dead woman; she is
dragging him down to the seethng mass of human
debris and tortured beings below, but with one
last sublime effort he keeps himself up in order
to support another woman, a young woman, the
new San Francisco. She stands on the mans
strained arm, She is full of hope and ambition and
courage She is led by the sun and one feels her
fate will be glorious Pride and energy and
defiance are shown in her expression. She is the
personhcaton of her race-the true California"
If the group resembles the description it should
make appalling addition to our present collection
of dscouragng ancients and horrbles that dishgure
Our public places and make the town museum of
freaks in stone and brass No city is licensed to
have nightmare in public.
Where did the lady find her model for this
extraordinary who sublimely holds a dead
woman with hand while he balances on his
other arm another woman impersonating the new
San Francisco like acrobat? 1t is not clear why
this astonishing man does not let go of the dead
woman if she is so dead and yet so much in his
way that he gets sublime about it. AS remember
the fire there remarkably little human debris
about it, but plenty of bricks. Possibly our brick
pile did not lend itself to art
LACKAYE'S DOUBLE
Wilton Lackaye, the actor, is mine of good
stories and got one about him the other
day. He bears remarkable resemblance to Victor
Herbert and he, as we'll as Herbert is very positive
about his opinions. Both like to air their views
and rigidly refuse to yield point taken in argu-
ment. The other day they standing the
pavement in front of the Lambs club in New York,

Another member of the Lambs stepped out, looked
at them and then retreated to the clubs interior

FICTIONS OF THE LAW

What interests me is the strange atmosphere of
unrcality in which the courts dwell, the legal
fctions that they create and the delusons that they
cherish. There is not much exaggeration about the
account OF Mr.. Pickwicks breach of promise trial
Judge Shortall has the eminent advantage of sit
ting by himself on the bench. Judges who sit
together with equal jurisdiction quite frequently
succeed in reducing their learned brethren to their
native absurdty So often has this happened in the
five to four decisions that Joseph II. Choate, the
famous New York lawyer, in an elaborate article
the other day deplored the practice of publishing
minority opinions In a review of the late Chief
Justice Fuller's work he wrote:

NEED A BEAUTY DOCTOR

NEED BEAUTY DOCTOR
At the recent convention OF the state humane asso-
citation held in Pasadena Miss Philathea Michael
son is reported by the local papers as making "a
brilliant address" and "a stirring appeal for human
itarian methods of retaining the criminal She
is quoted:
L saw more hard faced guards at San Quentin
than hard faced criminals. Prison reform a
science means recognition OF human nature and the
brotherhood of man"
From the neager reports of the lady address it
is not very clear whether she believes that reform
should begin on the guards or on the criminals.
Doubtless humanitarian methods applied on the
guards would include the services of beauty

THE STERILIZED BABY
Mrs Tanner of Los Angeles meant to have "the
worlds most scientifically reared baby There
fore she forbade Mr. Tanner to kiss the baby She
had germ proof home constructed and the baby
toys fumigated regularly. The syllogism was
completed when Mr. Tanner brought suit for
divorce and got it the ground of cruelty, alleging
by way Of specifications that he not permitted
to kiss his own child This conjugal catastrophe
could never have happened had Judge Graham been
on the Los Angeles BENCH for he would have
adjusted the difficulty on the compromise basis of
fumigatng the husband.

A LEGAL MUZZLE

What is the use of a censor or censoress who
is not permitted to cense? The court assumes that
he can make up more valid opinion at second
hand and fears perhaps, that the lady all uncon-
sciously might poison his mind by stating her
impressions. Therefore he took precautions to
protect himself by hiding behind legal fence.
All that he permitted the lady to tell him was
that there was nothing to it but black could
have told Judge Shortall as much without pre-
tending to be expert on prize fights.
If you ask me, I think that this whole agitation
IS mostly piece of cheap hypocrisy and humbug
chiefly promoted by Hearst, who after he had sold
all the fight pictures he could on his own account
jumped in to get notoriety by spelling the trade
for others.
The Reno fight appeared to me to be not nearly
brutal as pulling TOOTH but then I don't pre-
tend to be an expert. However, Lam able to agree

Eighteen Of Georgetowns husky oars

left them in fear Of serious results
when they returned to the college late

The accidents happened opposite the

noon. The three Fights. having just com-
pleted two-nnile TRIAL down the river
and short racing start opposite the
