If lawyers were debarred from
heaven, this man would probably
find no trouble in getting in and
keeping his seat.
His whole line of argument is re-
vealed in this statement: There is
widespread growing dtstrust among
business men OF our courts which
manifests itself in tendency to ar
bitrate, compromise and keep out
of court at any cost.
That wise business men keep out
of court when they can is true. But
they keep out not because modern
judges are corrupt, btu because
litigation is non productive. It dis
turbs and breaks in on ones peace
of mind so that compromise, with a
known loss. is very much, better
than litigation with its uncertain
ties
I believe the quality and caliber
of our judges are higher today than
ever before in history, and any
Judge, anywhere. will advise bust
ness men to settle their own dis
putes
The business Of good lawyer
now is to keep his client out of
court.
Judges are men, and as such they
are liable to mistakes and errors.
As we get better business men, we
get better lawyers and Judges. In
deed, it often happens that COM
monplace men lifted to judgeship
are inspired mentally and spiritual
ly and placed on their good beha-
vior as never before. They are more
sober. more discreet. more judicial
in all of their actions The posi-
ton of a Judge makes him supe-
rior In character to either lawyers
or clients. Lawyers may be for
sale, but this man is not.
The success of a Judge does not
consist in catering to this party or
that. but in interpreting public
opinion wisely and we'll, and In
bringing common sense to bear in
his decisions.
This popular magazine that has
endeavored to boom circulation by
making an attack on our courts all

The Kind of Trade for a Girl
Womany Occupations of Mans lob

a FEW days ago wrote an ar
~ ticle in which I urged upon
parents the importance Of
having their daughters taught
some kind of a trade or profess
sion by which they could earn a
living if II ever became necessary
for them to do so. Since the ar
tcle in question was published I
have received scores of letters from
fathers and mothers. and the young
women themselves, asking what
trade would suggest as a good
one for a girl to study.
Naturally. this would depend
great deal upon young woman's
natural aptitude Also upon her
necessity. There are girls who are
born to write, or to act. to paint,
or sculpt or sing. or be doctors.
These, in this day of women's OPP
portunitv. viii find their occupa-
tion for themselves.
There are other girls-poor girls,
with a present necessity for earn
ing money-who must be clerks. or
trained nurses. or stenographers. or
something else that win bring them
in ready cash

classes of Young women when
urged parents 10 have their daugh-
tiers taught some way TO make

girls belonging to wen -to-do fam
lilies. who have comfortable homes
and good prospects. and no imme-
date need Of becoming breadvin-
ners but who should. none the less,
be safeguarded against some future
catastrophe that may throw them
upon their own resources TO sup
port themselves
What shall this girl be taught to
do that will enable her to provide
for herself if she is ever forced

Of the world?
For myself, I am strongly IN ia
vor of women pursuing what are
called the "womanlv occupations ="

bigger mistake financially than
when they leave their own pecu-

bred to for centuries. and for
which they have what Darwin calls
an inherited aptitude-to 60 off in

The one thing that people will

no woman who is a BILE to supply her
