him, and shake hands with him" said
the learned justice, and then he added:
Il wish people resented more this impu.
tation of being liars"
From the legal point of view, Justice
Williams must have known that the
application of such an epithet would
be conducive to breach of the peace,
but he apparently belongs to the mus
cular school of Jurisprudence, which
regards it as virtue to love peace well
enough to fight for it. The age of
chivalry is not dead SO long as there
are men who feel stain as a wound,
and the English judge wishes to main
tain the high level of knightly resent
ment.
He more than squinted at an expla-
nation of our present day degeneracy
in the matter of resentment by init
mating that men stood for being called
liars largely because of the fact that
they are liars. The large and growing
proportions of a certain club founded
by the Colonel made the epithet almost
a commonplace, and then of course it
lost its force.
1t is still a matter of geography, to
a great extent, as to when and where
to call a man a liar. 1t Is not only
the .Virginian in the book and play OF
that name who insists that the sobri-
quet be accompanied with a timely and
palliating smile. The Virginian in the
flesh is a little touchous on the sub
ject. Even in the more sensitive South
"the code" has practically passed away,
although pistols and coffee for two
sometimes loom in the background in
the course of such correspondence as
that between the governor of South
Carolina and Col. tom" Fielder, the
Georgia attorney. But if the code
duello has passed, the code of statute
law in that irascible section practically
recognizes the lie as equivalent to the
apt to follow. While the spirit of the
lord justice grievcs over the COM
plaisance of shop-keeping England, he
may comfort himself with the thought
that somewhere the lie direct is a char
acterization which no good man will
deserve and no brave man will bear"

The people of that country are tired

SENATOR GALLINGER RE-
spends PROMPTLY.

The Times is delighted to be able to
announce today that its editorial sug-
gestion of yesterday concerning the
Sixteenth street herdics has borne
quick and ripe fruit. In this mornings
mail it received the following letter
on the subject:
To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
I notice that in your issue of today
the public utilities bills now before
Congress the herdic line on Sixteenth
street is exempted from the terms of
the bills. l have had an impression
that the bills were broad enough to
cover that line, but fearing that such
the Engineer Commissioner requesting
him to specifically provide for super
vision over that company when report
is made by the Commissioners on the
bills that they are now considering. /
quite agree that it is time that that
company was made to put on decent
cars and TO adopt a regular schedule
which will give to its patrons the serv-
ice that they have a right to expect
and demand. Very respectfully yours,
]. H. GALLINGER,
Chairman.
In behalf of the people of Washing
ton The Times wishes to convey to
Senator Gallinger sincere appreciation
of his prompt action. With the chair
man of the Senate District Committee
feeling as he evidently does about the
hcrdic problem, there is probably no
question that adequate regulation of
the herdic company will be provided
in the public service commission act.

and come to America TO be educated.
And she has a pioneers courage; she
fears nothing
She has come hither for that. She is
going TO learn a great deal in Chicago,
where she will study arts and sciences,
including music and painting. She al
ready knows a great deal: at home, in
Teheran, long before a few girls had
chance to go to the missionary schools,
her father had teachers for her and her
little sister. She learned some English
even before she went to the missionary
school four years ago. Mira Fazlollah
Khan, her father, who is a surveyor,
and wealthy, 1t may be Judged, is keen
on this education idea. When the mis-
sionary school was established II was
not located near enough TO his home. So
he moved his home and located it near
enough the school

of an opportunity to throw a little SUM-
shine into the lives Of these unfortu-
nate children.
Every person in Washington who is
not stone-deaf will rejoice over the
decision of Police Judge Pugh against
the screeching, wailing type Of automo-
bile whistle The court holds that the
use of such a whistle is violation of
the police regulation against any warn
ing device that is unnecessarily loud
or discordant. In view of the fact that
the whistle on trial was tested just
outside the courtroom window to enable
the judge to render his decision, his
ruling ought to DO conclusive. 1t is
now up to the police to enforce the
regulation as interpreted by the court
Good results should follow the move
ment, inaugurated by D. ]. Callahan IN
the Chamber of Commerce, to advertise
Washington as a residence city. Its
greatest advantage is the fact that
Washington is. in fact, a delightful resi-
dence city. Systematic dissemination of
this information, backed by photo
graphic views of the National Capital,
ought to bring scores of new citizens.
Isaac Cans, chairman of the publicity
committee, has already called a meet
ing Of the committee. II 1t acts as
promptly as its chairman, the campaign
will be in full swing before many weeks
have passed.

Ghodsea F. Ashraf claims to be the

Is more, she is the only Persian woman
she thinks1-in the world who does not
wear a veil
That smacks OF the circus a little,
as If she were the only something or
other in captivity. But it is a very
momentous statement, especially to
Ghodsea Kharnoum-that's pretty Per-
sian way of saying Miss Ghodsea. For
1t really means Miss Ghodsea thinks,
that she is the only Persian woman not
In captivity. the only one at large, at
liberty, free. 1t is quite as II she were
the only uncaged nightingale of all Per-
STA.
When she told today that she was the
only Persian woman who had put off
the veil; told what II stood for, that
veil, which, as il were, insulates the
magnetism of the Persian woman, shuts
in her spark of life so that 1t never
quite shines and warns as 1t ought,
1t was not hard TO understand why she

Talks as She
Thinks and Feels,

1t is one of Miss Ghodsea's charms
that she talks as she thinks and feels;
and she thinks and feels a great deal.
And she had a great deal to tell. She is
a pioneer. with a pioneers delight in do
ing a new thing first. And she makes
it sure that she is a pioneer that will
bring others, that will give other Per-

one question out of half a dozen. II
love TO talk. 1 talked at home, to ev-
erybody knew. And l came to Amer
lea TO talk just about those things

Then Ghodsea Kharnoum laughed and
was lovely and melodious For when
she laughed it seemed as IL a night
ingale might make a noise like that II
the amorous bul-bul ever fell out of
love instead of into IL and had a quip
or crank or merry vile instead of a
plant.
And Ghodsea is a very lovely young
woman. She is about five two, and has
black hair so plentiful that 1t hides her
ears, of which there was a glimpse to
show they were we'll placed, and black
eyes and lashes. She has a dark COM
pleXion, rosily colorful. She has small
teeth that sparkle like dew in the lips
of a red, red rose. She has a delicate
nose. with a slight arch, and Of just
the hue and shade as her other com
pleXion, which not all noses are. She
has shapely hands though with small
but not like an American lady. She
Is twenty and looks It, and most de-
liciously acts IT.
1t was not hard to understand how
she felt about anything that she chose
to talk OF For she is not only pretty

dramatically, and with ample choice

LAND SHOW WILL
OPEN NEXT WEEK.

After year OF preparation the North
western Land Show wild open in the
st. Paul Auditorium next Tuesday, Dec
18th and continue until Dec. 23rd.
While called land show, the exposi
tion is ia reality products show" just
like the worlds fairs and larger state
fairs. 1t is agricultural, industrial
horticultural and includes displays from
the farms, forests, mines, lakes, rivers
and factories of seven states and Alaska
Some of the states exhibits are said tc
be finer than those which the states
made at the Seattle or Portland exposi.
tions because the states have been in
the "show business and it takes expert.
ence to gather and arrange good dis.
play.
Minnesota has large part in this eA.
position, occupying 1,5OO square feet
While the other states are represented
it has been shown that Minnesota al
ways gets her share. The work Of the
railroads to secure settlers for the north.
west results every year in Minnesots
securing about 55 per cent Of all the
settlers who move west and pass through
the Twin City.
