In tn. Intsr.s, Of Justice.

A bill prepared by the American
Bar association and designed to pre-
vent the miscarriage of justice
through reversal for technical errors
in the trial OF a case, was passed by
the lower house OF congress the other
day, and it is to be hoped it will
meet with the same approval i'm the
senate The bill reads:
BE it enacted, etc. That no judg-
ment shall be set aside or reversed or
new trial granted by any court of
the United States in any case, civil
or criminal. on the ground of misdi-
rection of the jury or the improper
admission or rejection OF evidence. or
for error as to any matter of plead
ing or procedure, unless. in the opin-
ion of the court to which application
is made, after an examination of the
entire cause. it shall appear that the
error complained of has injuriously
affected the substantial rights of the
parties The trial judge may in any
case submit to the jury the issues of
fact arising upon the pleadings. re-
serving any question of law arising
in the case for subsequent argument
and decision, and he and any court
TO which the case shall thereafter be
taken on writ Of error shall have
the power to direct judgment TO be
entered either upon the verdict or
upon the point reserved. if conclu-
sive. as its judgment upon such point
reserved may require"
A law similar to this should be in
the statutes OF every state. Justice
does not fail because 'the courts are
corrupt" as asserted by demagogues,
but because there has grown up a
complicated system of procedure

MRS. LONGWORTH'S FURS.
Our Lady Alice" Daily Increasing IL
SartoriaI Expertness

who is that stunning-looking wom-
an over there with the scrambly hair?'
A stranger in town put that question
to her hostess the other day at re-
splendent performance at the White
House The hostess, amused at the
characterization, discovered that Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth was meant.
Through all the varying yagaries of
the vogue. the third most celebrated
woman in American society dresses her
hair, by her own hands. in exactly the
same fashion year in and year out. Her
locks were ash brown-the blonde cen
dree of the French, when she was a
girl They are growing darker every
day, which is a way hair has If one
doesn't personally interfere. Mrs. Long
worth has never affected the swol-
len couture. She has never been guilty
of a rat, not even of a mouse or a puff
or a swirl. She scrambles her brown
tresses softly back from her brow in
a sort of vague pompadour, the rest be-
ing twisted without any definite design,
but with a heterogeneous collection of
tortoise shell hairpins just above the
nape of her neck Head dresses and
coronets and swathing bandages affect
ed by other smart women have always
been given a wide berth by Alice
Roosevelt Longworth. who goes in for
hirsute simplicity and excuses a hair
dresser.
Mrs. Longworth, who is daily in
creasing in sartorial experiences since
she came into the limelight. is wearing
on the street a cloth suit with short
jacket and tube skirt of leather color.
Her russet boots match the smart short
frock exactly. Her furry toque contin-
ues the golden brown shade. With this
goes a collar of Russian sable tipped
with the real live tails of the expensive
beast. which swing to the waist. A
huge square sable muff is part of the
picture.
At a recent ball the Lady Alice was
0rientally respondent in a costume
presented by the late empress of China
which in its Monaghan character nat
urally followed the narrow lines which
is the American fashion of the moment.
The fabric was a gorgeous affair of
peacock blue and gold brocade.-Wash-

YOUR RIGHT I'd CLIMB

Don't fret because you have no an
cestry towards which to point with
pride. Don't worry because there are
no forebears whose deeds of valor or
whose other accomplishments or
achievements will mark you as among
the elect. Don't worry even if there
have been towards and traitors in
your line of descent.
In the first place you are not re-
sponsible for the illustriousness of
your family line any more than you
are responsible for the errors of those
who preceded you in your family cal
endar. The only person for whom
you are responsible is yourself. and
that is a very great care.
1t is, of course. a most fortunate
thing and highly satisfactory one, to
have ancestors towards whom one can
point with pride. 1t is a most ex-
cellent thing to have a noble family
tree. but ii is no guarantee of your
own uprightness or your own probity
of life
The whole test is in yourself. You
are valuable to the world in exact
proportion to your activities, and
your power to restrain evil tendencies
and to give out good effects. Your
family tree may be the most glorious
one in the land. but it will avail you
nothing II you are not honest in your
own intentions towards the rest of
the world.
Your family tree may have shell
tered traitors and towards. but that
should be no concern of yours, -ex-
cept that il marks out a possible
danger. Some ancestor or some one
well within the family lines may
have proven weak when he should
have been strong. He may have
been a pitiable, cringing coward when
courageous men were needed, but
that should affect you only to the
extent of making you careful that
you do not fail in like manner.
None of us are responsible for the

The New Apportionment.

To conform TO the new census, the
house of representatives has passed
a bill-which no doubt will have the
approval of the senate-increasing
the number of representatives from
391 TO 1873, an increase of AZ. Pro-
vision is made for two additional
congressman whenever Arizona and
New Mexico shall be admitted. max
ing the total number 435. The cleo
ton of next year will be under this
new apportionment.
1t is gratifying TO note that the
far west viii gain materially in this
redistribution of congressional repre-
sentation. California will gain three
seats. Oregon one, Washington two.
Colorado one and Utah one. This is
an increase from is to q seats, or
80 per cent.
The middle west gains a total of
seven-Ohio getting one. Illinois two.
Michigan one, Minnesota one. North
Dakota one, and South Dakota one.
The south and southwest will total
a gain of nine seats: Alabama one,
Georgia one, Florida one, Louisiana
one, Texas two, and oklahoma three.
A gain of thirteen seats will go to
New York. New Jersey. Pennsylvania
and West Virginia.
New England gains three congress
men. two going to Massachusetts and
one to Rhode Island.
In the electoral college the increase
is the same. of course. Assuming
that Arizona and Ne~ Mexico will
not get a chance TO vote in the
presidential election of next year. the
total electoral vote will be 525, in
stead of 4S3 as at present.
Although political considerations
did not influence the house in arriv-
ing at the new apportionment. it
happens that on the face of il the
republicans get an advantage. In
normally republican states the in
crease in congressional representation
and in the electoral vote is thirty
one. and in the normally democratic
states there is a gain Of eleven-a net
republican gain of twenty.
There is likely to be a shifting in
the political status OF some of the
states in next years presidential cleo
ton. but if all the states should vote
in 1912 as they did in 1908. the re-
suit would be: Republican, BAL cleo
toral votes; democratic, 173.
On the whole. in view of the slight
probability that the democrats can
overcome this great lead, it does not
seem probable that the republicans
in congress-whatever their attitude
toward the statehood question may
be-wiI be influenced by the likeli-
hood that Arizona would cast three
votes for the democratic candidate.
The possibility is very remote, indeed.
that the presidential election will be
so close that three votes from Arizona
would cut any figure.

sins or shortcomings of our fore
bears, but we shall be held respon-
sibIe for the weakness of our de-
scendants If it is pride in family
that stirs us, ii is therefore incum-
bent upon us to see that we send
into the future only those qualities
of conduct that make strong men and
women. For this purpose we should
take care to eliminate from our
characters those little follies that
passed on to others may become
positive defects if not real deficiencies
that destroy the stamina and the
fibre of being
This thing of our living is not a
matter of today or of our own gen.
eration,. nor is il a matter entirely
personal or individual. 1t is larger
and more splendid than that. 1t is
a matter of the future as well as of
the present; a matter of transmitting
to posterity those traits and char
acteristics that shall contribute to
it's strength.
Each person has a right to seek to
climb and TO climb as high as his
aspirations win let him. regardless of
any circumstances of the past. The
only exaction is that he is sincere.
that he is honest in his intentions
and that he is willing to concede to
others the same privileges for OPP
portunity he claims for himself. That
is the measure by which our own
lives must be calculated either by
eur neighbors. or those who shall
come after us-those who shall oc-
cupy our places a hundred or d thou
sand years hence.
