Holy Rood Day.

Holy Rood day was formerly fes-
tfyal for British schoolboys, who were
granted holiday. without getting up
a strike, for the purpose of going nut
ting. At Eton the boys had to write
Latin verses about the fruitfulness OF
autumn or the cold of the coming win
ter before they were allowed to gather
the nuts, which they had to share
with their masters This anniversary
should inspire the city corporation
and the London county council to re-
plant the nut bushes In Epping forest
and the recovered remnant of Hal,
nault forest, of which they have the
management.
The hazel is supposed to have been
extirpated from the royal forest OF
Waltham, to prevent the tail deer
being disturbed by nutting parties OF
noisy apprentices from London. Al
present there is only one nut bush In
Epping forest. and not even one "

BEAUTY NO LONGER A MARVEL
Time Has Gone BY When World
Stopped to Wonder at Lowell
ness Of Women.

Within the last week two well-known,
beautiful. rich society girls, both
young, both popular, with all doors to
which society has the key flung open
before them, have elected to go into an
East End hospital and scrub floors for
pauper invalids. Perhaps they will
not stick to 1t; the important thing Is
that they want to try 1t.
The fact is that we are no longer
sufficiently satisfied with beauty to
think woman has justified herself by
being good to look at. Thirty or forty
years ago people came from every
part of the world to see Georgiana
Lady Dudley, Mrs. Langtry and Mrs.
CORVALLIS walk in the park. At
an earlier date the beautiful Cummings
caused riots, so great was the anxiety
to see them. Anne of Austria drew
people from the most inaccessible cor.
ners of what was then very inacces-
sible world, who made their way with
year-long Journeys to Paris, caught a
glimpse of her entering her carriage
and went home again saying they had
seen loveliness itself. Today We
would not cross the road to see a pret-
ty woman, possibly because there are
so many of them. Indeed, beautiful
women of today are more admired by
women than by men. But in any case
beauty as profession is dead.-Lon-
don Truth.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

We believe the lawyers of this coun-
try have a patriotic duty to perform
and we hope they will realize it and
take action The matter of restoring
the judiciary to that place of respect
and usefulness it once had should APP
peal to the pride of every lawyer The
judiciary is not representative of the
people nor responsive to the peoples
needs 1t is not representative to the
ideal of the legal profession.
The only way the lawyers can per-
for mthe required service is to take
charge of the work Of naming candi-
dates for judicial Office The work
must be done by the lawyers, not as
individuals in the profession or as
citizens, but as body, with all the
power and all the weight given to
State Bar Associations.
We believe the solution is to make
the State Bar Association in the sew
eral states stand sponsor for the men
nominated for judicial office They
must not only be the most potent
force in the nomination and election,
but they must so act in the selection
that they can guarantee the man, com
mitting themselves as body to the
declaration that their choice repre-
sents the highest available type of
honor honesty and competency.
This is an appeal to the pride of all
members of profession whose his
tory has been brilliant and honor
able one in all civilization and whose
usefulness in this country, at least,
has been second 10 none in the great
work of popular government.
Unfortunately it cannot now be said
that every lawyer in a state is proud
of the learning or the independence
of every man on the bench in his
state. Frequently they are not rep
resentative of even the average es the
bar. The people look to the LAWYERS
to change the conditions which mako
this possible
The first thing TO do is to take the
nomination and election of judicial of-
tieers out of the hands Of politicians.
The next thing to do is to put the
nomination into the hands of the law
yers and the elections into the hands
of the people.
We realize that such plan cannot
be carried out in a day In some states
constitutions may need changing. In
other states laws may need changing,
but the main thing is that the sys-
TEN needs changing and the lawyers
are the most potent forces to do the
work.
We would suggest that the State
Bar Association in each state appoint
permanent committee sufficiently
large to have a representative from
each section but small enough to per
NIT Of efficient work. 1t should be the
duty of the committee before each jud
icial election to thoroughly canvass
the list Of available men in each dis
triet and report the names OF those
