undertaking Jerusalem.

Railways aud telephones. and detective
police have become an old story IN The
Holy Land but there is a fresh portrait
in the proposed competition for contract
to give the city OF Jerusalem a, modern
water supply The Pharisees who wash
their hands before meat will not have TO
depcnd on few meagre cistems, for the
day is at hand when the turn of tap
in any house will set flowing as full a
stream as leaped from the rock which
Moses smote Abundant water may mar
the picturesqueness of Jerusalem for those
who put the flavor of antiquity before
everything else. but ii will make for
cleaner habits and better health. More,
over. it will sustain the theory that all
progress works along a line of averages.
and that every forward movement, in eX-
change for the ills it overcomes, brings
enough others in its train to furnish It's
beneficiaries with something still to worry
about. Improved protective agencies long
ago dispelled the perils OF the Jericho
road: but now come contractors to lay
watermains and install piping, soon to be
followed by regiment OF plumbers TO
keep the plant in order-New York

Governor Prouty has little sympathy
with the trunkline highway idea, II hls
speech at Wilmington last week is re-
ported correctly. lie believes that Yer
mont can gradually secure good roads II
every town will divorce the office OF road
commissioner from politics and keep an
efficient man when it gets one, but he
does not favor bonding the state for the
purpose of raising money for immediate
highway usage The governors belief that
road commissioners and politics should be
kept separate is sound, and il all towns
would retain efficient men in this office
the roads of the state would no doubt
show steady Improvement, but can we
afford to depend on a method like this
when adjacent states, particularly New
Hampshire. are improving their main
thoroughfares so rapidly And, again,
can we expect, even with the best road
builder of every town at work, uniform
system of highways without uniform
method of construction? The Reformer
thoroughly believes in the trunk-line highs
way idea. As the republican state plat
form well says: Vermont has no more
urgent material need than the develop
ment of a system of first-class interurban
highways, and the work should proceed
under the authority and direction and at
the expense of the state

Pennsylvania where former Congressman

The likelihood that young man who
received his education in Brattleboro, one
Frank E. Howe, will be chosen speaker
of the next Vermont house of represen-
tatives grows stronger as the days pass.
Mr. Howe is practically sure to be elect
ed representative from Bennington, and
his familiarity with legislative matters to-
gether with his independence and knowl-
edge Of state matters ought to insure
his election to the speakership.

LAWYERS IN GERMANY,
Not Allowed to Advertise-Their Fees
Fixed by Statute.

The German law fixes the exact fees
which German attorney has to claim
for all kinds of professional work and the
Rechtsanwalt can charge neither more
nor less.
These fees apply TO all matters Of the
civil code and of criminal cases. The
amount depends exclusively on the value
of the object of contention.
1t is an old though still unfulflled wish
of German lawyers to have a new fixed
list of fees-not made after the old and
low standard of the year 1919 but made
