CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
BY A. w. MACY.
A LAWYERS SEVERE PUNISH
MENT.

In May, 1921, an obscure Eng
lish lawyer, named Floyd, was
accused of saying that the King
of Bohemia had no right to his
title, and that his wife ought to
come home to her father. For these
terrible words he was arraigned
before the House OF Commons,
found guilty, and sentenced to
the pillory. King Charles told
the members they had exceeded
their authority in passing a CEN
sure without consulting the Up
per House, and anyway they
ought to- be attending to more
important matters. But the
Kings interference proved un-
fortunate for the poor lawyer,
for the House OF Lords then took
up his case. fined him $4,000. and
sentenced him to be whipped.

Republicans Want Tennessee.

Senator Taylor, of Tennessee, who is
campaigning in Kentucky. says that the
Republicans are trying to capture Ten
nessee. For eighteen months" he says,
they have been organizing in my State,
and I know that they also hope to win
in Kentucky. He believes, however, that
the effort will not be successful. He has
been canvassing the State in the interest
of his own candidacy for reelection to
the United States Senate, and says that
the breach in the Tennessee Democracy
is fast healing

The Danger of Caste.

Rabbi Wise, of New York, has coined
new epigram. I'VE need to aristocra-
cize democracy" he says, and democ-
ratize aristocracy."
{ These are not easy words to utter
glibly on the tongue, and yet they ex-
press a truth that is worth emphasizing.
Rabbi Wise means to assert that in
this democratic country there should be
no aristocracy save that of merit and
worth, and that the creation of caste
in this country is a very serious matter
He finds a social caste, a race caste,
and a money caste. and regrets to see
that in the formation of fraternities in
the high schools there is a disposition
among the pupils to form themselves
into select circles. Particularly does
he scOrn the descendants Of honest mer-
chants who, because of the accumula-
ton OF great wealth, are tempted to ig-
more their humble parentage and seek
to link themselves with titled ancestry
In a sense. Rabbi Wise is right. There
are snobs now just as there were in
Thackeray's time and before, and they
ought to be ridiculed with the same keen
satire When we get away from the
spirit Of democracy and worship the
golden calf we are likely to have caste
distinctions. The only way in which the
inevitable result of this condition can
be avoided is to preach persistently the
foolishness of snobbery and praise a
man for what he is rather than for what
he is worth.

CONFER WITH KEYMEN.

Prospect of Adjusting Differences
with B. & o. r. r. Co.
Special TO The Washington Herald.
Baltimore, Md, Oct A-Representa-
tives Of the telegraphers employed by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ana
leading officials of the company met to-
day at the Hotel Rennert in an effort to
adjust the wage dispute which has pre-
vailed for two weeks. Commissioner OF
Labor Neill, of Washington, who was
appointed to act as mediator between
both parties, listened to the argument of
both sides and asked numerous Ques-
tions
Late in the afternoon the conference
was adjourned until tomorrow. 1t was
freely stated by representatives of the
railroad that it would not be surprising
II negotiations were concluded within
the next few days. Judge Knapp, of the
Commerce Court, was unable to attend
the conference. 1t is probable that he
will come over from Washington with
Commissioner Neill tomorrow.

From a disciple of DR.. Wiley.


From the Roanoke Evening World.
In the Juvenile Court in Washington
the other day Judge De Lacy said: Il
haven't seen a man yet with fingers
discolored by cigarette smoking who
amounted to a hill OF beans. II you
want to smoke why don't you take a
mans smoke, either a pipe or cigar?
Cigarettes dull the mind and break down
the nervous system"
If the Judge had uttered the whole
truth he might have SAID: IF you want
to act the mans part stop smoking alto
gether." So far as our observations go
there's little difference in the effect OF
tobacco, no matter what the form in
which It is used. Some men apparently
can smoke and chew constantly and live
to a green old age in perfect health. To
others the weed maniSvstly Is injurious.
Therefore, to a large extent each case
must stand on its own potion, but as
general proposition the human family
would enjoy more strength and better
nerves were nicotine to form no part Of
its experience.

the State law for equal suffrage became
effective. She is a native of Oregon,
and is the mother of three children.
The oldest is five years of age, the
youngest being a Dabe in arms. Mrs.
Wright is a stanch advocate of woman
suffrage, and is not dismayed in the
least by the troublesome experiences of
the woman mayor of Hunnewell, Kans.,
saying: Il am a candidate on the citi-
zens ticket, and If elected I shall give
the city of Davenport a clean admins
tradon so far as it is possible for its
mayor to direct"

With a total registration in New York

even passed the figures for last years

better showing made in the Republican
and doubtful districts indicated in the
earlier days of the registration was even
more marked on the closing day. Satur-
day. The result has put heart into the
fusion campaign for the overthrow OF
Murphy's power in the assembly. and
indicates that the chances are good of
sending tc Albany next year the largest
anti-Tammany assembly delegation that
has ever been chosen in this city. This.
at least, is the hope of the fusion leaders,
and although there are some reasons for
the falling off in the downtown districts
and the large increase in the newer dis
tricts, aside from political causes, none
of them wholly or satisfactorily explains
the great slump that has taken place in
practically all the old districts, both in
