A MISUNDERSTANDING At
PHILADELPHIA.

II there Is any particular reason
why the taxpayers of the Territory
should put up for a trip of the Sup
erintendent OF Public Works to Phil
adelphia or any assembly held in any
other mainland city, It has yet to be
made clear.
II the matter were passed up TO the
sentiment of the town we have not
the slightest doubt that the response
would be for another Superintendent
Of Public Works, II the junket Is
deemed necessary and the price is to
be charged up to the public funds.
Has the administration of the Pub
lie Works Office been so successful
that the Superintendent can afford to
take the time to wander abroad? And,
should he tour at public expense, is ii
better to have him away from the
duties for which he Is paid or near
at hand? In other words would the
work OF the department go along
much better and at less expense II
he were eliminated?
Superintendent Campbell Is among
those officials who have been educat-
ed at public expense, and the public
has got mighty poor return on the
investment. II he were to go to Phil
adelphia, he would be misrepresenting
all except very small minority In the
Territory of Hawaii

outside of his own state, but his
standing at home is of the highest.
He is the head of the chancery of New
Jersey, where they still have that
form of court. Chancery, by the way,
is the English system of equity, which
In modified form existed generally at
one time in the United States. In the
Jurisprudence of nearly all the states
now, however, equity law is admins
tered by the same judges who sit in
law cases. New Jersey adheres to
the old practice, and its chanCery Is
a court of equity. Chancellor pitney
is the head of that division and holds
the highest judicial position in New
Jersey"
The outlook in sizing up Justice
Pitney, appears not at all certain but
rather hopeful II says:
"He has been known for his fair
mindedness as well as for his legal
learning. His popularity in his own
State--a popularity that is a tribute
not only to his genial personality, but
also to his high characters indicat-
ed by the fact that the present Demo
cratic Governor, Mr. Wilson, and his
Republican predecessor, Mr. Fort,
have both expressed qualification at
the appointment. The question that
has been raised with regard to Chan
cellOr Pitney Is one which affects
neither his learning in the law nor
his reputation as a high-minded gen
tleman, but solely his attitude of mind
toward the relation of the law with
the conditions of modern industrial
society. Some of the labor union lead
ers feel that he does not understand
what is involved In justice to wage
earners. They base this feeling upon
certain decision which they attribute
TO him. Such feeling, II should be re-
membered. as they have is not always
well founded. and may not be in this
case. In these days. however, II Is
highly important that judges should
not only be men of integrity and of
learning, but also such as in the
broadcast sense can be called men of
understanding The history of the
country. as former Ambassador Oscar
Straus. in an address last week be-
fore Brown University, pointed out,
may be divided into three periods;
first, the period of National construc,
ton; second, the period of civil rights
or of National preservation: and the
present period, the period of social
justice. II was because Chief Justice
Marshall understood the spirit of his
time that he contributed TO that per-
iod of National construction: II was
because Chief Justice fancy did not
understand his time that he helped to
bring disaster upon his country in the
period of National preservation. So
today the Judge contributes to the
well-being of his country largely ac-
cOrding as he understands the prime
necessity for social justice. The
whole country hopes that Chancellor
Pitney understands his time and will
be responsive to the eduCative intiu
enCe of the great cases involving SOC
ial injustice that are brought before
the Supreme Court"

The Easter Suggestion,

days ago Tor the celebration Of
Easter is gaming favor Many promi-
nent business and professional men
of the city are in favor oil "regu-
lar Easter celebration TO take the
place of the one that should have
been held last Sunday Conditions
are sure to be normal by the first
Sunday in May and in view of the
fact that suggestions are in order,
The Bulletin would suggest this date
for the celebration.
In the excitement of fighting the
food, the Easter celebration was al
most forgotten Easter services We're
held at the various churches, but
the attendance was not large, be-
cause of the absence of the women
and children. 1t would be nothing
short of calamity to permit the
year to pass without a genuine East
er celebration, so let us get together
and decide upon a date
There are hundreds of residents
of the city, who did not even have
an opportunity TO make their Easter
purchases and many of them will do
so Immediately after returning to
the city. Something must be done
for them. What use would there be
in buying Easter clothes, without
the Easter promenade? We will
have to give Mr.. Bunny a chance to
perform his annual task of supply
ing the children with colored eggs
because if we don't there's going to
be hundreds of disappointed kidlets

CONCERNING CLANS.


fThOSE who are fond Of clans will
appreciate the fact that they are
abundant and cheap at present
Many persons prefer clans to oysters,
and there are many ways of cooking
them.
Nearly every family that is fond of
chowder has its own way of making it,
so a recipe for chOwdcr would be like
bringing Goals to Newcastle.
In trying the following recipes II Is
well to say that where fresh clans are
not to be had the canned ones may be
used instead.
Thin shelled clans are the best and
most easily opened.
Cooked In the Shells.
When CLAIMS are to be steamed or the
shells figure in the cooking process they
should first be well scrubbed
Steamed Clans Place the clans in
vessel on the tire and without water.
Cover and cook until the heat compels
the CLAIMS to open their shells. Then
take the CLAIMS out, pour the clam juice
into another vessel and let it stand un-
til 1t settles.
Now take the clans out Of the shells,
peel off the thick skin on the edges and
cut off the black ends with scissors
Rinse the clans in little Of the clam
juice. When the rest Of the juice Is
clear pour it carefully into saucepan
SO that none of the sediment follows,
add the CLAIMS and put on the stove to
heat again.
The steamed clans should be season
ed at the table by each individual to
suit taste, They are served with brown
bread or toasted crackers
CLAIMS For Luncheon.
Clam Croquettes. These are made
with steamed clans which have been
taken out Of the shells and trimmed.
With the scissors cut the CLANS into
small bits. Mix these with thick
cream sauce and season. Shape into
rolls, roll in fine breadcrumbs and dip
in beaten egg, then roll In crumbs
again, Fry In hot lard.

CLAIMS should be steamed. They are
then placed in shallow baking dish
covered with white sauce and layer

baked until brown
