 A simple shack, with little adorn- ment inside or outside. if 1t is owned by the man 1t shelters, is infinitely preferable to a secondhand" rented house owned by and exacting tribute for someone else. This is old-fash- toned sentiment, and many who preach 1t live themselves in rented cages; but 1t is gospel truth. just the same; and every day there are more and more people who are coming to realize it, and who are working and saving and planning for the day when at last they can take long breath of restful contentment under their own vine and fig tree"
 How much better to build house like this for s1 .000 or s1 200 than to keep on paying out good money for rent receipts. The reason why clerks and office men keep on paying rent year after year ranging from s20 to s30 per month in the smaller cities, up to $40 or even $60 in the larger ones Is simply on account of pride false pride. They cannot afford large. luxurious house, and they are ashamed to live in a small. cheap one.
 There are many fourroom flats in the city of Chicago containing less space than this little bungalow, which rent for s30 and some as high as $40 per month. One side of such a flat is sure to be dark; and generally light only comes from the street in front and the alley fin the rear. At the right and at the left are solid. smoky. dingy brick walls; and the in- mates are obliged to burn gas in the middle rooms in the daytime If they

The value Of the mineral out.
put of Alaska in 1913 is estimated
at SIS 100000 by Alfred h
Brooks. of the United States
Geological Survey, as compared
with $50, 537, 831 for 1912. The
value of the gold output is est
mated at SIS, 100000; that of
1912 was ST., 1881 There
was also very marked decrease
in copper production, that OF
1913 being estimated to have
been $40. 100000 pounds, valued
at about So, OLA, 600, while that of
1912 was %, $50, 49l pounds,
valued at $4,823, OIL. AS the
Alaska silver output is largely a
by-product of gold and copper
mining, this also showed a de.
crease in value from 1916 S39 IN
1912 to about 1920, 900 in 1913.
Other minerals. including marble

Free Justice.

Every lawyer is an officer of
the court, sworn to aid justice
Any lawyer msy be ordered by
the court to take the case of a
defendant whe hasn't enough
money to pay a fee.
We believe that Judge in
New York once assigned a law
yer of the first rank to try the
case of q poor devil who couldn't
hire him; but the custom didn't
spread. Usually the job goes to
some fiedgling at the bar who is
eager for experience often at the
poor devils other-than money
expense.
There are a few-a very few
lawyers who put their skill in
to social service without much
regard to fees. Louis d. Bran
deis is one. Frank P. Walsh of
Kansas City is another. Their
biggest work is donated. But
they are much more popular
among the laity than among
their fellow professionals.
Most lawyers are free grabbers
They have to be. Their profes.
sion is overcrowded. They have
to scratch gravel to make liv-
ing. Often we censure them un-
fairly. They can't afford--the
great majority of them-tO serve
justice when the big rewards are
for lawyers who can beat or
cheat it.
Il believe in free justice. "
says Judge Ruppenthal of Rus
sell, Kas. Il believe that law
yers should be, in practice as
well as in theory, officers of the
court, paid by the state, SO that
they would in fact be as truly
officers of the court as the court
itself is an officer of justice.
believe that under such a system
we would be able to get rid Of
the petite ggers and the shys
ters and the hangers-on, wht
now make the name lawyer a by
word and a term of reproach."
That is not a new idea 1t ha
often been suggested Once j
q great while it has beta tried Il
q small way. A few cities hav
hired public defenders. Som
communities have free legal aid
Cleveland has q successful cOur
in which justice Of a pretty goo
quality is administered withou
the use of lawyers at all.
But nowhere is there as broa
an organization of free justice q
there is everywhere free medic;

NO SMOKING ORDER
MADE MORGAN SORE
Ailing Money King in Rome
Is Being Ruled Sternly
By His Physicians.
(National News Association

ROME, March 15-The autocratic
doctors who are attending ]. Pierpont
Morgan, the ailing money king of
America, have ordered him to give up
smoking, his favorite pleasure and Mr..
Morgan is very sad. For years his
chief luxury has been long, black
cigars, especially made for him at a
cost of 81 piece. they are even bet
ter than the King of England or the
Gear of Russia smokes. Each cigar
is made of tobacco especially grown,
cured and rolled into cigars by the
most expert workmen. These cigars
are carefully aged, and when mellow.
they find their way into the Morgan
humidors. They are the most famous
cigars in the world.
Mr.. Morgan grumbled and protested
when told he must quit smoking, but
the doctors were obdurate. They told
him his nerves demanded a respite
from the effects of tobacco smoke, but
in his throaty, rumbling voice, the ia
nous fnancier declared that his
nerves had stood the strain many
years and should be used to it by
this time.
The upshot of the whole matter,
however, was that Mr.. Morgan today
went without his cigars and he seem
ed at a loss to fill in the gap.
Mr. Morgan was againg taken for a
motor trip today in the warm, beauti-
full sunshine for his physicians have
prescribed that he get a certain
amount of fresh air each day. Prof.
Bastianelli, the Italian specialist, who
has charge of the distinguished pa
tient said that Mr.. Morgan would
probably 60 to Florence after three
weeks stay here. In the meantime the
financier must not 10 any work.
