Still another landmark IN the for
ward march OIL woman is the APP
pointment of Chicago's first woman
judge. She is Miss, Mary NJ. Bartel-
me, lawyer who Tor IS years has
been public guardian OF Cook coun-
ty. She is to be justice of the jul
yenile court and is the Choice of the
circuit judges for the position
Though elected to pass Judgment,
she will continue to assist unfortun-
ates. The combination OF duties
calls for unusual tact as well as un-
derstanding and sympathy, and these
qualities Judge Bartelme is believed
to possess. Following the re-elect-
ion of Mrs. Young as superintendent
of sehols, Chicago can boast in the
new appointment important pioneer
work in the recognition of woman's
fitness for public responsibility of
high uality.

Sixteen years ago Woodrow Wit
son discarded his middle name,
which was Thomas and he is quoted
as having given this reason: For
those who wish to achieve success
in public life the best kind of name
is that which consists of a dactyl and
a spoundee" He said that Daniel
Webster had that kind of name
and further, that the next best kind
OF a name is one consisting OF two
spondees, Woodrow Wilson, for in
stance, and therefore he clipped on
the Thomas with never a regret. We
don't take much stock in that sort
OF talk, bit if this doctrine becomes
we'll known many parents will get
down the faithful old Webster to see
what a dactyl and spondee is.

Senator Chiffon and Congressman
Hamilton have discovered pay
nlent by the federal government to
the State of Virginia, which in their
estimation should be held as an Off
set to the amount of about $500, 900
against that part of the old Virginia
debt for which West Virginia may be
held liable. They have discovered
tnat in 1902 Congress appropriated
certain money to pay different
states for the amount advanced by
them and loaned to the government
during the war OF 1872. Instead OF
paying the State of Virginia in cash
the government returned to that
State certain Indian fund" bonds,
held by the government, amounting
to $5S7,S00, and Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal bonds amounting to $751;
600. The latter bonds were guaran-
teed by Virginia and all the bonds
were dated prior to 1851. 1t Is be-
lieved that West Virginia should be
credited with a. third of these bonds,
which were part of the State debt,
at the time West Virginia was Gre
ated, and if it should be found that
this il legitimate credit it would
save the state about 100000.

trated by the case reported from
Chicago Of cashier kidnapped in
broad daylight ana carried three
miles across the city to place fay-
orable for searching him. Forum
ately he had thrown away the bag
containing $2S,0O0 which he had
been carrying and this was later re-
covered, but such luck cannot be
counted upon. OF course there were
kidnapings in carriages in the old
days, but pursuit was by no means

of sight before bystanders collect
their wits. No satisfactory safe
guard. has yet been proposed except
the obvious one Of having those who
carry money accompanied by an
armed escort. but sharp. and relent-
less detective work will do much to
discourage this new form of robbery.
