the law of inheritance II 30 many
laymen did not undertake to draw
their own wills. But the fact remains
that "the codeless myriad of prece-
dents, the wilderness of single in.
stances" no longer has, to the average
mind, the aspect of the mysteries Of
Eleusis nor is learned counsel looked
upon as disciple of Cagliostro and
Albertus Magnus.
There is peculiar piquancy, there.
fore, in the story which comes from
Atlanta to the effect that a young
Hungarian woman who had fallen into
the tolls of the law was almost literal
ly frightened out of her life by most
innocuous phrase of law Latin. When
informed by her attorney that her case
had been "nolle prossed,'' she attempt
ed to jump out of fourth-story win
dow. Ii he had hurled at her the Nor
man French for incorporeal heridita-
ments he couldn't have frightened her
worse, and yet, as a matter of fact,
the one thing which should have made
her jump was the announcement that
her case had not been nolle pressed,
as those who have had experience well
know.
But there is another side to the
shield. There are clients who have not
the fear of law or lawyers in their
hearts. An instance came to light on
the same day as that of the Atlanta
episode. An Italian tailor, when he
lost his case in court, attacked his
attorney SO viciously that the tip
slaves had to pull him off. He felt
none of that awe and veneration, and
apparently he imagined that success
at the bar depended on his lawyers
muscular strength or vocal volubility,
and that his attorney had not exerted
himself commensurately with his fee.
Of course, in making such scene in
court the client brought down the
wrath of the presiding judge, who or
dered him sent to Jail for twenty days.
And then came out the true character
Of the lawyer--not only of the lawyer
in that particular case, but of the en-
tire type of legal practitioners-that
is to say, real tenderness of heart. At
torney Rhodes asked that the Judge
would show clemency to the offender,
who was finally let off with a $40
fine. Which the same was greatly to
his credit. Since the days of Joseph
of Arimathea they have been kindly
and humane under what has some.

Cade was hasty, very hasty, when he

SCIENCE SOLVING THE PAPER
PROBLEM.

About two years ago a laboratory
was established by the Government at
Madison, Wis.,, to conduct experiments
in paper making. The purpose was to
discover some substitute for spruce in
making pulp. Spruce has become so
scarce and dear that the need of a
substitute has been made more appar-
ent every year.
ess has been developed, by which jack
pine and hemlock may be ground into
a very satisfactory pulp, and this
makes a good grade of commercial
print and wrapping paper. In some ex,
periments a small proportion of spruce
pulp has been used in mixture; in 9th,
ers none at all. 1t is reported that Wis
consin paper mills have taken lots Of
these new pulps and manufactured ex
cellent papers from them, and that ont
mill has adopted the new process, mix
ing spruce and hemlock
Seven different formulas were work
ed out, and paper has been made aftel
each of these. Twenty -one tons Of
the various pulps were prepared, three
representing each formula; and thes,
were turned over to paper mill al
Port Edwards, with the result that en-
tirely satisfactory papers were turned
out.
The average price of news print
paper is about s. per ton higher thar
ten years ago, according to the stats

Thanks The Times for ITS
Accuracy

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
l desire to thank the reporter for
your paper who was present one
week ago at the meeting of the
North Washington Citizens Associa-
ton and reported to The Times the
proceedings of said meeting.
The statement which appeared in
The Times of November was abb
solutely correct.
In this connection I will also say
that a report which appeared in a
morning paper of the same date was
untrue in every statement except
the list of names composing the
committees; 1t even going so far in
its inaccuracy as to give the name
OF another association.
Yours truly,

All the individuals concerned in race

plutocrat. Tho manufacturers. dealers,
panderers, property owners, and others
who receive incomes from Degrading

tocracy could not exist without re.

the race pays for its own degradation.

One Wonders Why Her
Husband Ever Consent
ed to Die.
BELASCO STAR SEEN
AT HER ZENITH
Play Offers Opportunities for
Her Peculiar
Ability.

1t is always a pleasure to hear from
David Belasco, no matter what he has
to offer. but when his name Is linked
with that of his fayorite star, Miss
Blanche Bates, the event Is of double
interest, for then the public Is assured
that something delightful is in store.
In "Nobody's Widow" Miss Bates
newest starring vehicle. there is a COM
bination OF comedy and romance that
is thoroughly satisfying. It Is inter-
esting to note right here that Miss
Bates is every whit as charming in
"Nobody's widow as she was in 1.-THE
Girl" Butterfly and other plays in
which she has been seen in seasons
past.
When one sees her as Roxane, the
dashing widow OF this play, one won
ders how 1t ever could have been pos.
sible for any mortal man to make up
his mind to die and leave her, even
for the more superlative bliss of
heaven. but when. as the story un-
folds, and the audience learns that he
did not die after all, one does not blame
him, though one Is almost inclined to
reproach him for having been SO foolish
as to have kissed another pretty woman
when he possessed such charming
wife of his own upon whom to lavish
his caresses.
The transition from the psycholoe,
of THE Darling of the Gods" and "The
Girl Of the Golden West to the de-
licious abandon Of Roxane is a wide
one, Yet with the artistry she discloses
in all the creations entrusted to her,
Miss Bates reveals in the heroine of
"Nobody's Widow" ca woman different
from any she has heretofore given IT
is different, but equally charming
woman to whom she introduced her
audience in the National Theater last
evening. Roxane equals her Butter
fly or Minnie Smith. Many think
she surpasses either of them In this
newest play of hers.
The chief charm of the play lies I'm
the fact that II seems exceedingly
naughty" a woman sai1 last night
while her escort was bundling her into
furs, when. as a matter of fact 1t Is
highly moral

THE EVOLVED CAUCASIAN
AND HIS SOCIAL SYSTEM
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
In continuing a social system that
creates the plutocrat, we continue a sys-
TEN that prevents the proper training
and development OF individuals The ac-
tivities Of such individuals will he
largely haphazard. Some of them will
become victims Of race-degrading
agencies. while others of them will find
a LIVELIHOOD In supplying such agencies
Among these agencies are those of al
cobclic indulgence. Standardization, and
white slavery.
Whatever benefit alcohol may be to
the sick or to the aged, its non-skill-
full use Is Enthusiastically harmful to the
Caucasian race. The harm not only
comes from the individual user but also
from his influence OF others. and par
ticularly from his influence on his Off

LET HIGH SCHOOL CADETS
HAVE MILITARY BAND
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Just a thought relative to our High
School Cadets. There is no question of
the position the local regiment takes
among like organizations of the coun-
try, and the step that, in my mind,
would add to their prestige would be the
organization of a military band.
Military schools throughout the coun-
try have them why not our local high
schools? Would II not add to the spirit
of the cadets? Could this not be brought
about by our Commissioners? The Gov
ernment now furnishes the equipment
for the soldier boys, could 1t not also
furnish the equipment for a military
band, as IT does Government bands?
And could not the Board Of Education
The Washington times., 1911-11-14

have band instructor added to the list
OF te ichers?
There Is an abundance of material in
the high schools who are already anx-
ious TO further such an organization,
and would take pride in so doing. The
band would increase the spirit of the
boys and add TO the national fame of
our local school system.
This would make q good editorial sub
yetc for The Times. and the boys would
boost II good and hard II. j. ].
