THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Women's hats have recently had much
of the attention OF DR.. Traugott Won Jagow,
president of the Berlin police He was a
leader in the campaign against the dan
serous hatpin, and gave his official sup
port to all measures toward averting what
he called "the ha. pin peris" He has now
come 10 the aid of people whose view Of
the STAGE in a theatre is obstructed by
millinery OF the monster kind. The re-
quests to remove large hats were often
ignored. especially by occupants of boxes,
and some violent disturbances resulted.
Under Dr. Won Jagows new order the
managers Of theatres will be punished il
they allow 'Nomen TO wear hats which OBJ
struct the stage view, and inasmuch as the
penalty is placed at 100 marks for each
offence he thinks the managers will protect
the rights Of their patrons.

L-AWLESSNESS

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Conditions exist to-day in this coun-
try which. to careful and sober thinker
are simply appalling. on every side we
observe the same spirit. the spirit of abso-
Iute lawIessness and disrespect for author
ity. Every man seems TO think It is his
right 10 set aside any law which acts as a
restraint upon his personal liberty. The
great cry is Liberty" but we must not
confuse terms. making liberty and mob rule
synonymous.
Why this great disrespect for law? One
does not like to critcse harshly an honor

cause of this lawlessness in the very pro
fession whose duty il is TO defend that law!
Do we not lind in that profession d Ger
tain tvpe" who are very Jealous in their
endeavor to aid the criminal? This pro-
fession is an honorable one, but 1t contains
too many mediocre men, men who do not
measure up to the requirements Of a truly
great legal battle, but who must earn "a
living somehow or other. Who can imagine
any of the lawyers whose names appear
on the front pages OF our leading papers
defending the keeper Of house OF Ill
repute? Such lawyers would not handle
such case. However, countless attor-
news do come forward with their valuable
aid. These are the very persons, l clalm
whom we must blame for a great deal Oh
the present-day spirit Of lawlessness. Their
very readiness to uphold the criminal acts
is an incentive for others to break the
law. These attorneys are great men, but
their greatness is used in the wrong olrec-
ton. and consists in craftiness and SUD-
tiltv. Such men are not the backbone OIL
the profession. They are not towers OF

CO-OPERATJON.

IN these days of steadily rising priC7's
for foodSluffs any such scheme TO re

passing interest. Cooperation in pro-
Gucing. handling and disposng of the

regarded as an experiment of doubtful
success if the same qualities are en-
ployed in managing the details of the
business which any successful merchant
or manufacturer must exercise.
The men working out this new prof
ect are farmers Of Pennsylvania, al
ready bound together through member
ship in the State Grange. and with the
likelihood of uniting with them many
members Of the New York and New Jer-

Mr. Yoakum recently pointed out TO
the farmers Of Texas that they were

One of the advocates of this new
project told Mayor Gaynor that potatoes
for which the consumers in this city
paid more than SG0.OO0,00o netted the
farmers only $S.500.000 and gave fig
urps for other produce showing similar
diScrepancies. With adequate machinery

State Department Asks Esti-

Washington, Aug Si.-Ambassad doris and
ministers of the United States have been
instructed by the State Department 10 sub
nit estimates for construction or purchase
of homes for them in every foreign capital
OF the world. This is in accord with the
authority recently granted by Congress for
embassies and legations 10 be owned bv
the government in order 10 relieve the
diplomats of the expense Of rent.
Congress limited the cost of anv om-
bassy or legation to $4,000 State Depart-

sufficient to obtain abodes in keeping wit,

that NJ. Homole took insufficient pre-

As the result OF an agreement between
