FIRST "RECALL" JURIST
INSPECTS LOCAL COURTS
Judge Wiley F. Crist Of San Fran
isco Studying Judicial Sys-
TENS of East

Judge Wiley F. Crist, the first and
only judge in the country elected to
Office at recall election, arrived in
Washington last night on an inspec-
ton tour of the courts of the country,
particularly those in the larger east
ern cities, and will make a close study
of the judicial system here. Judge
Crist has jurisdiction over the police
court of San Francisco, and was elected
last April, after the women of San
Francisco became dissatisfied with the
treatment of vice cases which were
brought into the police court in that
city.

Visiting His Mother Here.

Judge Crist is staying at the Portner
with his mother. Mrs. Mary F. Crist, and
will remain in Washington about week,
going from here to Baltimore to study
the courts in the Maryland city. The
object of his tour is to obtain sugges-
tons for the possible betterment of the
California court in which the judge sits.
The Judge says that giving women votes
in his state was no mistake, and declares
that women have made themselves a
force of great influence when moral ques-
tons have been injected into the local
politics of the state. The ballot has
broken up no homes as yet, the judge
declared, in spite of reports to the con-
trary.

Popular Official.

Half of the fourteen months he has been
assistant secretary Of the Treasury-and
the average service of an individual in
this post is estimated to be eighteen
months-Mr. Allen has served under a re-
publican administration and the other
half under democratic administration.
This was largely made possible through
the good will entertained for him by re-
publicans and democrats alike In Con-
gress, who had reason to know and APP
preciate his unvaEying consideration and
lack Of discrimination between partisans
of either principles.
This judicial attitude Mr.. Allen learned
as a newspaper man. Although a repub-
lfcan he has only small political his
tory, almost confined to his activities In
Vermont, his home state, during the re-
cent presidential election
Strangely enough. not only is a news
paper man to be superseded by a news
paper man In the post Of assistant secre-
tary of the Treasury, but both Mr.. New
ton and his predecessor. Mr.. Allen. are
graduates of the same journalistic school.
Mr.. Allen has a host of friends in news
paper, official and social circles.

Will Rest Several Weeks.

From Washington Mr.. Allen will go to
Atlantic City. N. j., for q week or SO Of
recreation. Thence he will journey to his
home town, Burlington, VT. for a month
of idleness before assuming his work
harness.
Mr.. Allen came to Washington about
eleven years ago as private secretary to
Representative Foster, who died while a
member of Congress. He became private
secretary to Assistant Secretary New
berry of the Navy Department Then
Mr.. Allen went with the New York Her.
aid as a member of the Washington bu-
reau of correspondents He was SO en-
gagged when invited, fourteen months ago.
to become an assistant secretary of the
Treasury under Secretary MacVeagh. His
paper, instead Of accepting the resigna-
ton Of Mr.. Allen, submitted on his &C
ceptance of the post extended him a
years leave.
When the year was UP Mr.. Allen, a re-
publican, was still serving as assistant
secretary of the Treasury, and now under
a democratic administration. Instead OF
accepting further extension of leave.
despite the almost certainty that he
would sooner or later have to give place
to democrat, he has decided that his
future career would not be in the old
game, and he so advised his former serv-
ice.

SELF-DEPENDENCE.

There is little doubt that we have
10 study things at school for which we
seem to have little use, for which we
never have had any use and for which
We think we never viii have use.
However il is just aS true that we
never can tell just when we will need
the Latin or the Greek or the Geom-
etry which seem at the time such 4
waste of energy.
So many times students fail into
clipshod ways of preparing the daily
lesson. LET us say the Latin lesson; so
slipshod are they that trotS. ponies or
cribs are used. not with the intent to
he dishonest. hut simply TO facilitate Il
labor for which there is little respect.
We can readily see how this will
weaken our fighting ability and orr de-
pcndence on ourselves because Il
makes us depend ON a crutch which
may fail us just at the time when our
strength is most needed. not only 10 do
3 difficult job, hut to fight our own in
ClnatiOn.

And here are little boats. and there
Pig ships with sails spread to the breen;
And yonder palm trees waving fair
On islands set IN silver seas
And butterflies with gauzv wing

And fruit and flowers and all the thing;

For creeping softly underneath
