Ability of a Jurist Should
Be Partly Public
Property.

The greatness Of an able Jurist
ought to be to some extent the
property Of the public and to throw
itself along the lines of public in
terest without consideration of
retainer.
Mr.. Choate has pronounced him
self in the same way, and has
handsomely enforced the principle
by example. Mr.. Taft said not long
ago in private conversation: Il
am open to any Macedonian cry"
All of which is a way Of protest
ing against commercializing the
legal profession.
But, as already stated, the appli-
cation of the principle is not
limited to the law, but extends as
well to the service of the physi-
clan and the preacher.
Physicians are chargeable with
the responsibility of keeping the
world well, over and above the par
ticular responsibility of saving the
lives of those who are able to
make to them a guild pro quo. A
clergyman is a poor clergyman
who does not do a lot of work that
he receives no pay for and that
self-respect would forbid his re-
ceiving any pay for,
We have not even yet quite for
gotten the trouble that arose over
the matter of the compensation to
be received by the late Joseph
Parker, of London, for coming over
to this country to preach Henry
Ward Beecher's funeral sermon.
The criticism excited at the time
indicates plainly enough the sym
pathy which the public has with
the principle underlying what Mr..
Taft said at Montreal in regard to

Thousands of Readers
Never Heard of
Aurignacians.

There are, no doubt, many thou
sands of readers who have never
heard of those wonderful auces-
tors of ours, the Aurignacians. l
must, then, explain who they were
and when they lived.
To find them we have to 60 back
so far that, from the point of view
which they occupied, the greatness
of Babylonia and Egypt with
which recorded history begins, was
hidden far beneath the horizon of
coming time, The space of time
stretching between them and the
days when Joseph was sold by his
brethren into Egypt is a hmdrcd
times longer than that which sep
arateS us from the age Of the
Pharaohs
History as we know it is only a
little islet in the ocean of geologi-
cal time, and when we have gone
back to the uttermost extremity Of
our islet we have hardly drawn
perCeptibly nearer to the immense
ly longer island of time that was
occupied by the Aurignacians and
their predecessors. 1t lies away
off beyond the mistS and the waves.
invisible TO the historian with his
myopic eyes, but perceptible to the
telescope vision of the ''pre-his-
torian," who employs the magic
lenses Of geologic science.
This distance can not be meas
ured in centuries, those trifing
yard-sticks Of history and we can
only say that its span covers hun
dredS Of thousands Of years. The
great glacial ages that have in sue
cesslon swept over the earth form
the swinging pendulum that marks

A Thing Is Worth What
It Will Fetch in
Shekels.

Il am l. and the public is some-
thing else, A thing is worth what
It will fetch In shekels. All com
modities, the strength that is In
my muscles, the thought-power
that is in my brain, even the love
power In my heart, are all forms of
value, kind Of pounds, shillings
and pence, to be dispensed there
fore only on the standard Of the
dollar. Life is barter, an exchange
Of equals, give and take, at the de-
termination Of the balances"
Mr.. Taft did not put it in that
form at Montreal, but that was
what, in his more learned and
stately way, he was protesting
against.

Only Natural to Demand
Money Equivalent in

And so whatever else any one
bestows it is ones impulse to have
in mind its money equivalent and
to expect the full equivalent from
the party to whom he barters 1t.
Judas Iscariot saw in Mary's
alabaster cruise Of ointment poured
on our Lords feet only its cash
value. There is in the New Tesla
ment the story of a sorcerer named
Simon, who saw Peter working
miracles by the power of Gods
Spirit, and asked him how much
he would have to pay for enough
Spirit to be able to work miracles
himself.
OF course, that is an extreme
case, but all the more valuable on
that account, because exhibiting in
so frank way what exists in more
modest shape in the hearts Of peo-
pie generally.
Judas and Simon were like the
rest Of people, before and since,
only perhaps in a more aggravated
form. 1t is well to inspect such
people, for they show us what we
should be If we were what we are
now, only a little more so.

ton will 1t pay?" we mean by it
Shall we get as much back as we

Written for The Georgian
By DR.. 6. H. PARKHURST

TT was a graceful tribute which
was rendered to Mr.. Taft by
the American Bar Association
in unanimously electing him to its
presidency, a tribute to his ability
as a jurist and to his elegant and
genial courtesy as man.
Most of the contents of his ad.
dress on that occasion will be best
understood and appreciated by the
members Of his own profession,
but the protest which he made
against practicing law merely as a
means of subsistence, without re-
gard to the worlds broader social
and communal interests, is a plea
which is easily understood by us
all, and which relates TO every
kind of service as we'll as to that
of the law.
The underlying principle upon
WHICH buSu d pAONCSI 90 IhdI VI
Mr.. Taft is based is that man
belongs to the world as well as to
himself.
A gentleman who occupies a ma
tional judicial position Of unsur-
passed responsibility recently re-
marked to me that the public has
very little idea of the vast amount
Of legal talent that exercises itself
in quiet office work which never
comes to outside disclosure, talent,
therefore, whose influence fails to
extend itself beyond the frontiers
Of its own distinctly professional
field.

Art Work of Forebear!
Greatly Improved in
His Age.

He vastly improved the rude
work of his fOrebears in flint and
bone, but his great claim to ad-
miration rests upon the fact that
he was the FIRST artist. He gave
rein to his Imagination. He saw
the world around him with a com
pretending glance, and left in
stone in bone, in ivory, in rock
carvings and in colOred paintings
representation of what his eyes
beheld and Of what his fancy pic
tured in his brain. and these rep
reservations have lasted through
all the intervening ages in the
shelter Of forgotten caves and I'M

he recognized the superiority of
woman as a model for artistic rep

ivory and in stone. The Venus

commercializing ones self, making
ones talent a mere marketable
commodity. so much ability drop
ped into the slot and so many
dollars coming out at the receiver.
And the same principle goes
even beyond the limits of profess
sional life and extends TO all life.
1t is the common tendency of peo-
pie to think of all kinds of COM
modify in terms Of dollars and
cents. Not only does the grocer
think Of his potatoes as being so
much money in the shape of vege-
table, but wants that whole amount
in money when he parts with the
potatoes.
