Few people realize that fully 30
600 American women of to-day have
qualified for the law, says the New
Ideal Magazine. Nearer the average
conception Is the number who have
become advocates before the United
States Supreme Court-forty. Yet ii
Is undeniable that there are splendid
opportunities for women lawyers, and
the 10000 of to-day promises to be
largely increased in the coming years,
one OF the most authoritative legal
publications declaring that women
are needed to analyze. digest and
classify the quarter million decisions
of Federal and State courts handed
down In the ten years ending with
1910. The fact that out of 10000 ad-
mitted lawyers only forty appear be-
fore the gowned Justices at Wash
tngton does not imply that the re-
mainder are engaged In housekeep-
ing or other pursuits. These women
lawyers are representing their clients
and appearing before the courts In
their own States, doing valuable and
remunerative legal work.--Chicago

A Motion pictura Fake.

There Is film which has lately
been cent out all over the country
that marks the climax In the art OF
motion picture taking. 1t Is SO
cieverly done, however, that the
chances are not one man in a thous-
idea how 1t was done. 1t represents
tine night or The children OF Israel.
and gives the scene where Moses
waved his wand and the Red Sea
parted.
The man who took the picture
spent twelve hours on the Red sea
section of 1t alone, says the New
York Evening Post. He singled out q
spot on the shore of Long Island
was out of water at low tide. and
under water at high. He started
at high tide. and took. say q score
of pictures of the sea as 1t looked
then. After fifteen minutes he reel
ed off another twenty, and fifteen
minutes later he did the same.
Thus at the end of six hours he
had film showing the changes for
every quarter of an hour. At the
end of that time the tide had re-
ceded so that the sandbar could be
seen. Then he called In the supers
and had them walk across the bar
while he took their picture.
That was only half Of the work.
Later in the day, when the tide be-
gan to rise. he returned and began
again to take a few pictures every
fifteen minutes. At the end OF six
hours the water had risen to where
it was when he began. He had some
doubt as to how the film would come
out; he didn't know whether the
tide, when photographed that way,
would give the desired effect of a
sea parting and then closing up
again. But 1t did. There was never
film that looked more lifelike and
wonderful. The waves seem to rush
apart for minute and then back
again. just as described in the Bible,

Prize Fighting Again.

The ''Supreme" in Virginia, in the usual polite
and refined language in which it refers to this
paper garbles an editorial in The Virginian
the subject of prize fighting and makes merry and
quotes Scripture because The Virgnan gave some
news items on boxing and wrestling. racing and
prize fighting the same day which the editorial
appeared. The point in The Virginian's editorial
was that the newspapers conducted by decent citi-
zens should not encourage anything that is viola
ton of the law; that prize fighting is recognized
as lawlessness except in two three goddess
tons of the country and therefore, that it should
not be reported in such manner as to encourage
lit.
The sheer of the Supreme has no meaning un
less it is meant to be defence Of awlessness and
of the kind of ''prze fighting referred to in
recent editorial. Ordinarily tho of Scripture
would preclude that idea but since the exhibition of
/ the past few weeks the readers Of the 'Supreme"
are not surprised at the fippant use of the Word
of God in its editorial columns.
| The Virgnian does not attack legitimate sports,
but fapers Them and publishes facts of interest
corning boxing. wrestling. fencing racing. ball
games, etc. 1t also published news items concerning
prize fighting. But that is very different thing
from deliberately planning to magnify and to ex-
cite interest i'll lawless, brutal prize fighting and
using Scripture to give point to a sheer
There certain things in connection even with
prize fighting of which one does not approve
but which proper to be printed as indicative of
the attitude of the public mind and conscience on
that subject and indeed as a proof of their de-
moralizng character. For example, it is reported
that numerous excursion trains are to go from the
East to San Francisco at cost of about $3.50 per
passenger One of these trains is advertised as fol
| lows "Our train will consist of eight cars in
Guiding diners, seepers and observation car.
Poker, bridge whist and pinochie will be permitted
/ but all other games viii be cut out. We will carry
along 5000 bottles of beer. plenty of wine and
whiskey and 10000 cigars. We will not take more
/ than one hundred and intend to be very careful
who will go along Also it is announced that Tom
Sharkey. ex-pugiIist of the same stripe as the
two brutes who will contend in the ring, will run
a train by the Southern route exclusively for
negroes!
Such items show the degraded character of the
people who originate and patronize these prize
fights and do not encourage them or make them
attractive to our children, but brand them as COM
bination exhibitions Of the world, the flesh and
the devil, which have rightly been prohibited in
the Christian communities of this country

RATE CURIosTTTEs.
Railway Distances Have Little to DO
With Prices Charged

Halfway Distances Have Little TO DC
With Prices Charged.
Originally the railway rates to the
Pacific coast from Eastern cities not
on the Atlantic Ocean were more
than from New York city and other
Atlantic ports. But the steamship
lines began absorbing" the railway
rates from cities such as Pittsburg
and Buffalo. to the Atlantic. thus
making the rate by rail-and-water
from these places the same as by
water from New York. The railway
met this competition by also making
their rates from places 400 or 500
miles west of the Atlantic Ocean the
same as from the Atlantic seaboard
The manufacturers and merchants al
cities In the Middle West demanded
as we're given Pittsburg, Buffalo, etc.
and the Atlantic seaboard. 1t was to
the interest of the roads extending
from the Middle West to grant their
demands. When a manufacturer or
jobber in Pittsburg slipped goods all
rail to the Pacific coast, the roads
west OF Chicago got only part OF the
rate. When a competing manufac-
turer or jobber in Chicago shipped
theh. the roads west of Chicago got
all OF the rate. Consequently, in 1904
were
"blanketed"--that Ia. made the same
from all points in the United States
east OF the Missouri river.
Corresponding changes seldom
have been made in the rates from the
East of the Middle West to points in
the Western interior The rates TO
these places are not directly affected
by water competition. and therefore.
on traffic moving to them the Eastern
lines commonly exact their usual To-
cal rates to the ends Of their rails;
and the Western roads commonly ex-
act their usual rates from there on

UNCLE HIRAM ON CITY LIFE.

Yes It's lively in the city. where they've

They've got shows and things to keep

costly clos they wear;
But / guess they have their troubles
just the same as me and you,
And reckon that they're often ruther
worse'n ours, too.

And there's more out where that come

to the people to settle it. And this the people
do without any action by convention.
The Virginian is much concerned for the
best interests of the Democratic party that it urges
upon the leaders the necessity of great caution at
this time. The Democratic party is in great peril
in Tennessee because the Democratic organization
is believed by many of the best Democrats in that
State to be the meuthpiecc OF the liquor interests
and the murder of Carmack is attributed by them
to that source. These Tennesseans, Democrats to
the CORE do not believe that the organization reg
listers any longer the wishes of the Democrats of
Tennessee but the orders of the liquor traffic and
they decline to be 'tbossed" by the saloon and
plea of party regularity will avail to their
support for the present Democratic machine.
Let us in Virginia learn wisdom from conditions
in Tennessee and leave this question to be settled
entirely by the people.
The Virginian repeats that the liquor question
Is not properly party question and no who has
the best interests and the future welfare of the
Democratic party at heart will try to make it so.
To do is to invite disscnsion and split in the
party ranks similar to that in Readjuster days.
