OMAHA, Jan. 24.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: All this discussion about the initiative
and referendum and other similar projects
being Indispensable to our political saliva
ton reminds me that as a nation we have
been able to go ahead in spite Of any law
or condition we have lacked. And my judg-
ment is that we are going to continue to
progress and grow in spite Of every fad
which zealots are liable to fost upon US.
SO, for one, while | heartily endorse The
Bees position on this proposition and be-
lieve The Bee should continue to preach
against the tendency to go TO extremes.
am not the least disturbed. We
are going ahead, initiative and referendum
or what not. We do not need II TO help us
go ahead either. Our marvellous progress
and development OF the past is proof
enough Of that. ! doubt II any Of us really
appreciate the momentum OF this country.
1t rolls on at such tremendous rate that
we can scarcely comprehend II. Sometimes
think IL we could appreciate this it would
help US, those of us who are inclined TO go
to extremes, to realize that drastic measures
Of relief are not yet necessary and that the
country will surely stand whether all the
present schemes OF reform do or not

SIMPLIFYING COURT METHODS

lChicaRo NewNl

Chicago NewSl
Senator Elihu Root, in the capacity Of
president OF the New York State Bar Gsso-
clotion, has called the attention OF that
body to the time wasted in the restatinB
by judges Of established legal opinions in
new forms. He condemns this practice and
asserts that the brlefest possible opinion
from the bench usually serves the purpose
quite as we'll as an opinion OF interminable
length He also favors statutory rule
which would preclude reversal OF a judg
ment upon the error or ruling relative to
the admission or rejection of evidence in
trial unless 1t appears that a different
ruling would have led to a different iudg-
ment. He declares that such rule would
put an end to the countless objections and
exceptions which now disfigure legal pro-
cedure.
No doubt these two changes in methods
would help considerably. The average lay
man. however, does not care how the legal
fraternity reforms itself provided II does
so at the earliest opportunity. He wants
removed the snares and pitfalls which
tangle his feet when he goes to law and
which make legal redress appear outra-
geousy difficult of attainment lie would
like TO see abolished the garrulity OF the
law which seems to create an impenetrabis
fog for all save the lawyers themselves
and frequently for them, II indications
count for anything
In short, the average layman and all the
rest OF the public will welcome anything
and everything which tends to simplify
and make more plain the processes Of the
law. 80 that exact and even justice may
be dealt out more certainly and more
speedily.

Concerning Recipes.

A. NJ. R.-Where a recipe calls for soda
dissolved in water always use hot water.
and don't stir the soda into it until you
are just ready to use 1t.
(2) Many recipes for pound cake re-
quire neither baking powder nor soda.
Here is a good one that calls for baking
powder, however: h. sugar, ID. -four,
2 lb. butter. 9 eggs, l full teaspoonful
baking powder. Cream the butter and
sugar with great care, beat the yolks
and whites of eggs separately, sift the
baking powder well through the -four,
and add the flour last.
90 Following is a splendid recipe for
onion pickles. If you desire them a little
sweet you may sweeten the vinegar, but
picked silver onions are not usually
sweet:
Take the smallest clear silver onions;
after peeling. immerse in cold water and
salt. and let them lie for four days,
changing the pickle daily; put the onions
in fresh water and heat them to scalding
point, stirring frequently. Two cupfuls of
milk added to the water will help to
whiten' the onions during this boiling.
Drain well and place the onions in jar,
pour scalding hot vinegar over them. If
spiced pickles be desired, place half a
pound of prepared spices in this muslin
bags, and put them In the vinegar for
twenty minutes. But II the whiteness that
Is so appetizing in picked onions is to be
retained the spices must be omitted. AS
the onions are placed IN the jars, distrib-
ute sliced red peppers through them.

BREAKFAST CAPS
ARE IN HIGH FAVOR

Breakfast caps of lace or muslin will
] be more popular than ever this winter.
These little boudoir head coverings are
very convenient for the morning meal.
They are becoming to most faces; they
cover a deficiency of hair and obviate
the necessity of arranging the hair elab-
orately before breakfast.
Many new varieties are seen in COM
binations of lace and mousseline de sole
or lawn. Some of them have graduated
ruffles, narrow in front and very deep
behind, reaching quite far down over
the neck. A twist of ribbon ending with
bow in the middle of the back and
longish streamers completes this fetching
creation.
AS Christmas gifts they will be well
come to most women and are assuredly
dainty and easy to make. Scraps of
muslin, lace, and ribbons may be utilized
20 advantage in their construction.
For those who wear their hats low
on the neck comes a little French cap
totally unlike the usual mob cap with its
puffed crown and lace ruf1ing.
With the boudoir cap comes the break
fast jacket, which this winter will be
seen in many varieties of dainty material
and make. Some are quite old-fashioned
with square necks in front, rather long
in the skirt and edged with double frill
Of lace. They also come in less elabo-
rate forms, made of cashmere, French
flannel and challis.

You mean she needs a lawyer, Price,
insinuated Mahaffy.
That slap at me, Solomon, is un-

will you. who has shown an interest
comparable to mine? 1 may say I have
devoted my entire energy to her at
fairs, and with dsinterestness. l have
made myself felt. Will you mention

will be just Judge Slocum Price WHO'S

Are you looking for some one to take
pot shot at you?" inquired Mahafy
sourly.

with that wide and sunny smile of his
why don't you let the boy go alone,
Price," suggested Mahafry. He lacked
that sense Of sublime confidence in the
judges tact and discretion of which the
judge, himself, entertained never a doubt.
Il shall not obtrude myself, Solomon;
shall merely walk out to Belle Plain
and leave a civil message. I know what's
due Miss Malroy in her bereaved state
she has sustained no ordinary loss and
in no ordinary fashion. She has been
the center of a striking and profoundly
moving tragedy. 1 would give a good
deal to know If my late client left a
will"
You might ask her. said Mahafry
cynically. Nothing like going to head
quarters for the flewsr'
Solomon, Solomon, give me credit for
common sense-go further and give me
credit for common decency! Don't let
US forget that ever since we came here
she has manifested a charmfngly hos
pitable spirit where we are concerned
Wouldn't charity hit nearer the mark,
Price?'
II have never so regarded it, Solo
mon," said the judge mildly "I have
read a different meaning in the beef
and flour and potatoes she's sent here
expect if the truth could be known tG
us she is wondering in the midst of hef
grief why I haven't called, but she'll ap-
preciate the considerate delicacy of
gentleman. I wish 1t were possible to
get cut flowers in this cussed wilderness"
The Judge had been occupied with
simple but ingenious toilet. He had
trimmed the frayed skirts of his COAT;
then, by turning his cuffs inside out and
upside down, a fresh surface made its
first public appearance. Next, his shoes
had engaged his attention. They might
have well discouraged a less resolute and
resourceful character. but with the con-
tents of his inkwen he artfully col
